Welcome

The Mechanical Engineering Department was established in 2011, aiming to provide students with asound mechanical engineering education (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) that enables them to assume a leadership role in promoting proper engineering practice in professional, ethical, environmental, sustainability and life-long learning frames, advance the understanding and application of mechanical engineering principles through partnership with local industry, and improve the quality of life of Jordanians through teaching, research and outreach programs.

Vision

To graduate highly-qualified mechanical engineers who are capable of facing current and future challenges.

To be distinguished in scientific and academic outcomes and values.

To provide a stimulating and rewarding research environment for our faculty and students alike

Mission

To provide students with the opportunity to engage in an enjoyable and supportive learning experience leading to a well-respecteddegree upon graduation.

To prepare students for careers in different fields of mechanical engineering, including general mechanical engineering, thermal power and energy and materials and manufacture.

To keep up with the latest developments of engineering technology for the academic staff and students, updating the department study plan accordingly.

To offer services to the local and regional communities.

Goals

• Provide graduates with the required knowledge and skills to apply them to identify and solve mechanical engineering problems.
• Expand and enhance students’abilities related to the responsibilities of the mechanical engineer towards the profession and society.
• Develop the capacity of graduates to stay current with new developments of engineering technology.
• Engage the graduates in advanced academic and research careers.
• Embed an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities of mechanical engineers.
• Enhance the ability of graduate engineers to function on multi-disciplinary teams and engage in life-long learning.
