It
is always a pleasure of mine to welcome you to the webpage of the Faculty of
Engineering at the University of Petra. I hope that your visit to our webpage
will be fruitful and informative, as I intend to provide you with a brief
introduction about our prosperous faculty and to describe the fundamental educational
and practical principles that all of us at the faculty hold dearly and apply
rigorously to meet the current and ever-evolving global challenges of the engineering
professions.
The
Faculty of Engineering is a newly established and thriving engineering center,
with tremendous opportunity to become a leading education and research
institute.The journey of the Faculty of Engineering started by establishing the
beautiful Civil Engineering Department that is fully functional and has already
delivered two batches of graduates until today. Since its inauguration, the
Civil Engineering Department was carefully set on the right track with the
proper study plans, curricula, state-of-the-art classrooms and laboratories, cutting-edge
technologies, outstanding infrastructure and workshops, highly supportive and
committed academics and staff, and amazingly ambitious students, to create a
distinguished research, teaching and learning environment. The journey of the
Faculty of Engineering continues with enthusiasm, wisdom, and confidence, as
elaborate studies are undertaken to consistently improve the already existing Civil
Engineering Department as well as to explore the potentials of establishing
other top quality departments that will produce well qualified engineers that
are highly sought after in Jordan and the surrounding countries. A futuristic vision
of the Faculty of Engineering shows a well recognized engineering innovation hub,
with various exquisite engineering departments extending in a multidisciplinary
sustainable action to welcome all of our students, nourish their needs, and
provide them with transformational educational experiences that will empower
and enable them to further grow as thinkers, doers, professionals and leaders;
all being capable of making a difference with solutions that matter in the
circle of life.
The
Faculty of Engineering currently offers a 5-year Civil Engineering Bachelor
Program that is accredited regionally and is in the process of applying for ABET
accreditation. Every effort is undertaken in the faculty to make sure that our
students acquire comprehensive engineering education, excellent technical experience,and
a complete set of skills to help them launch their engineering careers and
later on smoothly adapt to the enormous and rapid changes in their profession
and associated technologies,during their relentless pursuit of innovations. I
do believe that our graduates will enjoy impressive employment opportunities
and, for those interested, will be able to pursue graduate studies at highly
ranked universities all over the world.
Thank
you very much for your visit to our webpage. I hope you found the information presented
here useful. In case you are interested to know more about us, please note that
the friendly people at the Faculty of Engineering are always there to welcome
you and answer all your questions. When you decide to join us, whether to work
or study, remember that you are not just a number, as we will encourage,
celebrate and reward your success.
