MiniFab Lab
The MiniFab Lab is located in the manufacturing materials and processes lab in the Industrial Engineering Department at the Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology. The MiniFab is found by a generous funding by the Erasmus+ program under the BITTCOIN-JO project. The lab provides a venue at which the students are encountered with state-of-the-art technology that might be hard to have access to in normal conditions. The lab is used for both teaching and research and is available for all university students interested in prototyping and innovative ideas that support their entrepreneurship skills. Many experiments have been held in the MiniFab lab and it has been also used for research projects at which it supported having a collaborative learning environment and supported students and researchers’ projects. Moreover, the lab reduces the need for large investments as it can be used for building and testing small-scale products.
