Amman- May 17, 2106
The third workshop of the DAAD funded project CICTI took place between the 16th and 21st of April 2016 at the premises of the German Jordanian University. The first two workshops took place at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences, Germany (Project Coordinator) and Shiraz University of Technology, Iran, respectively.
From GJU, the workshop was attended by the Dean of School of Applied Technical Sciences Dr. Ala’aldeen Alhalhouli, Dr. Iyas Khader (Project Coordinator at GJU), Dr. Jumana Abu-Khalaf, Dr. Anas Atiyeh, and Dr. Rula Allaf.
The purpose of the project CICTI is to establish a dialogue between higher education institutes from different cultural worlds who share more or less the same research interests, manufacturing, industrial and mechanical engineering. The dialogue is focused beyond the technical and scientific issues, and considers three cultural and regional points and their causes and effects. The main goal of the program is improving the connection and relationship between university and industry. The benefits of a close contact with the industry for the universities and students and methods to improve the relationship with the industries will be discussed and practiced. The main objective is to establish a dialogue that despite the current crisis situation in the Middle East can contribute to an educationally meaningful development. The identification of the target societies will be done with respect to educational and cultural background, and their distinguishing features will be magnified with the help of statistical evidence.
