Civil Engineering Department

Head of Department Message

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.
