About the Program
The Bachelor in Electrical Power Engineering degree program at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Yarmouk University, was established in 1993. 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 focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects of power engineering, covering fundamental topics such as engineering mathematics, physical sciences, electrical machines, power electronics, power systems analysis, distribution systems, smart grids, renewable energy, and high voltage engineering. The curriculum is regularly updated to reflect advances in power technologies and industry needs.
Students complete a two-term graduation project and a mandatory four-month full-time practical training (six credit hours) in companies or factories related to electrical power engineering. This hands-on experience, supervised by faculty, helps bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-world applications.
Graduates of the program are well-prepared to enter professional careers in power engineering or pursue advanced studies, equipped with solid technical foundations and practical experience.
