What is Electrical Engineering (EE)?

It is not surprising to say that EE has shaped the modern world. You will be completely wrong if you think that EE is limited to electricity generation and distribution. In fact, electrical engineers work at the forefront of practical technology that highly influences and integrates to modern life from electrical power generation to Internet of Things (IoT).  One immense advantage of EE is the wide spectrum of specializations that includes but not limited to

  • Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Wireless Communications
  • Communication Networks and Security
  • Fiber Optics
  • Biomedical

 

  • Power Electronics and Systems
  • Renewable Energy
  • Signal Processing and Data analysis
  • Automation Systems
  • Electronics

 

How many Credit hours is the EE program?

The number of credit hours for the Bachelor’s program is 174 credit hours.

Why to choose the EE program at GJU?

While the majority of public and private universities in Jordan offers a B.Sc. degree in EE, the EE program at GJU is unique. Below are few reasons:

Industry Experience: EE students at GJU are privileged with the chance to work directly with industry before graduation through local training (in Jordan), international training (in Germany), and the opportunity to conduct their graduation projects in Germany, courses that lead to industrial certificates such as HCIA- Cloud Computing and HCIA-5G-RAN. All of these combined can result in a graduate student with an effective work experience equivalent to 1-2 years.

Excellent Faculty: Our faculty includes some of the distinguished professors and researchers that are specialized in various topics in the EE field. We are proud that two professors from our department have been selected among the world's top 2% scientists by Stanford University.

Unique Lab Curriculum: We have strategically integrated our theoretical courses with labs that enable students to design, conduct experiments, analyze data and verify advanced theoretical concepts. More information about the EE laboratories can be found here[SM1] .

Friendly Learning Environment: GJU classes are distinguished with limited number of students (typically 15-30 students in the class) along with easily accessible and supportive faculty and staff members.
