The School of Engineering was established in 1974 to be a distinguished scientific institution and an active partner in improving the quality of education and providing a creative university environment based on creativity and interaction through the adoption of national and international standards for the quality of education and the development of its plans and curricula in a manner consistent with global developments to meet the needs of the local, regional and international community because this is the ultimate goal, which the School was keen to do to contribute to the development and creation of conscious generations, whether inside or outside Jordan.
The School includes eight departments: civil engineering, architectural engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, computer engineering, and mechatronics engineering at the bachelor's level, in addition to seventeen programs at the master's level.
Seven programs from the School obtained international accreditation ABET. In October 2014, three programs obtained international accreditation: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Chemical Engineering. In October 2019, four other programs obtained international accreditation ABET: Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Mechatronics Engineering.
The School includes many laboratories equipped with the latest technologies and modern equipment that help the student and researcher conduct research and studies. The School strives diligently to serve the community and the engineering profession by providing consultations to the private and governmental sectors, offering specialized courses and workshops, as well as holding conferences and seminars, and participating in scientific forums locally and abroad.
The School of Engineering has achieved an advanced global ranking in the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024, which is considered the most influential and most important in the field of major classification in the world, and is launched annually by the British institution “QS". The University of Jordan ranked 253rd in the field of engineering and technology, ahead of the 260th rank it occupied in 2023.
In the field of engineering and technology, the University of Jordan was ranked internationally in four specializations, three of which were the first university locally; In the field of civil engineering, the University Of Jordan entered this classification for the first time and ranked 201-240 globally, and was ranked 251-300 in electrical and electronic engineering, ahead of the 301-350 rank she occupied in the 2023 classification, and 301-350 in the specialty of mechanical and manufacturing engineering, ahead of The 401-450 position she held in the 2023 rankings.
This classification is based on five criteria: the academic reputation of the specialty, which is measured by the reputation of scientific research in the specialty to be classified, the reputation of the research School, the employment reputation of graduates of the specialty, the citation rate for each research published globally in the specialty, global research cooperation within the specialty, and finally the coefficients, citation of published research in this specialty.
