Civil Engineering Department

I would like to extend a warm welcome to our beloved students on behalf of the Civil Engineering Department at Amman Arab University. May your journey be filled with continued success and precious knowledge. In alignment with the university's strategic goals and its forward-looking vision, the start of Civil

Engineering “CE” department was in fall semester 2016/2017. The major of CE holds a significant position among the primary engineering branches in both public and private higher education institutions, as it effectively caters to the demands of the local and global job market for adept engineering professionals.

Our department aims for excellence in education, research, and inventive contributions. We take great pride in our role as mentors, guiding the forthcoming generation of civil engineers who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our cities. The Civil Engineering major aims to prepare engineers with an exemplary integrated preparation from both theoretical and practical aspects to meet the needs of the Jordanian, regional and international community in various fields of civil engineering. The study plan was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Jordanian Higher Education Accreditation Commission, and to comply with international accreditation standards ABET.

The study plan consists of 162 credit hours to grant a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, which qualifies the engineer to join the Jordanian Engineers Association.

Finally, we believe in cooperation, diversity, and continuous learning, and our goal is to empower the next generation of civil engineers with the knowledge and skills they need to make a positive impact on society.

About the Bachelor of Civil Engineering

The Department of Civil Engineering at Amman Arab University was established in the beginning of the academic year 2016/2017 to award bachelor’s degree of civil engineering. This program aims to raise the competence of graduates of the specialization in line with labor market at local and international levels and to help them acquire communication and teamwork skills. The study plan includes the areas of project and construction management, roads and traffic, water and environmental engineering, using specialized software, design, modern checks, familiarity with the Jordanian building specifications and code, quantities and economic calculation, and the selection of appropriate mechanisms. The department aims to provide the engineering sector with qualified engineering competencies capable of managing and applying the modern international standards to building systems, upgrading engineering and construction work, engineering capabilities of the buildings and construction sector. In addition, the program aims at introducing, developing and enhancing modern scientific technologies and concepts in this field. The Faculty of Engineering is equipped with high technologies, laboratories and infrastructure necessary to fulfill the requirements of specialization.
