About the Program
The Bachelor in Communication Engineering degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology was established in 1989. The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunications Engineering Program Criteria. The program prepares students for careers in the fast-evolving communications industry, offering a strong foundation in theory alongside hands-on experience.
The curriculum covers a wide range of topics including wireless and mobile communications, satellite systems, microwave engineering, antennas, data communication, computer networks, and digital signal processing. Students complete a two-term graduation project, applying their knowledge to real-world engineering challenges.
A key feature of the program is a mandatory four-month full-time practical training (six credit hours) with leading companies in Jordan and abroad. This industry-based experience, supervised by faculty, helps students develop practical skills and enhances employment prospects.
Graduates are well-equipped to succeed in the telecommunications industry, government sectors, or pursue graduate studies, benefiting from a curriculum that balances academic rigor with real-world application.
