Talk:Technion/Archive 1

The PHP comment seems quite out of place here. epsalon 01:54, Jul 4, 2004 (UTC)

I agree. Nyh 07:28, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Aye. At least in its current phrasing it is out of place. Whaa? 12:57, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Generally all the mentions of these two guys in Wikipedia smells of self ego pumping. Amos Shapira 12:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amosshapira (talk • contribs)

Distinguished faculty
I think Eli Biham can be added. Should I add him? --tyomitch 13:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Why doesn't this page include the conclusion of the 2001 committee (comprised of professors from MIT, Berkeley and additional Institutes) that concluded that the EE department is one of the 10 best in the world????? (go to the EE dean and ask for it.. i got it when i was a student there...)

Why does this page say Technion has more Nobel laureates than any other school and then, for evidence, link to a page that shows it as having 2 (given to two co-workers, no less) versus Harvard's 20? That seems rather misleading.

Any comments about the building?
Anyone knows about the architecture of the building of the Technion? Supposedly it was designed Oscar Niemier(sp?). Amos Shapira 12:14, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What building specifically do you mean? There're more than 20 different buildings inside Technion (excluding faculty buildings). I don't know, if you're still watching this page. Anyway, I can't connect to you directly as it seems you don't have(or didn't have at the time) a valid account Stypex (talk) 15:19, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Amos Shapira, I think you are making a confusion with the University of Haifa -- its tall building is the one projected by Oscar Niemeyer. Renato (talk) 21:25, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Misleading Citation
The citation asserting that Technion's Computer Engineering department is in the top fifteen in the world points to a document made by and for Technion. It specifically states that ranking would require their developing a metric, which they then decline to do. This is, by no means, an adequate citation to the effect that they are in the top 15. 216.165.2.198 (talk) 03:51, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Internet outrage
The Internet service provided by the Technion for the student at the dormitories is outrages. it takes several minutes to load a simple page such as this one tinyurl.com/6bdnw9 -A guy who studies there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.69.228.17 (talk) 21:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC) Lies! The internet here is very fast! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.62.96 (talk) 14:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

What language is the teaching conducting in this university?
Is it conducted in Hebrew or English?

All the courses are in Hebrew (English version is available to the most popular ones). All the course-books are available in English (the more advanced is the course, the less chance there is to find a course-book in Hebrew). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.177.62.96 (talk) 14:24, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Changed logo file
I have changed the logo file to a square resolution one so it would fit well in facebook when a user chooses to mention his university. --Leroyschreiber (talk) 20:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
