The energy crisis is clear to everybody. One of the options is to look for new resources of sustainable energy. Renewable energy is available in all kinds of forms: Solar, Wind, Biogas to mention a few. Therefore, GJU has established this unique Department to respond to the urgent need for graduates equipped with the proper knowledge in the field of energy engineering. The uniqueness of this Department arises from the fact that it is the only one of its kind in Jordan and the Region. 

Energy Technology refers to the knowledge of and usage skills required for conversion, production, transfer, distribution and use of energy. This leads to the mastering of technology based on the laws of nature, as a result of which different forms of energy can be used to serve the needs of mankind in such a way that nature is spared and the economic resources of society are taken into consideration. 

Energy and the environment is a new and rapidly growing field of sustainability, which is "meeting the needs of the future without compromising the ability of future generation". This is critically relevant to how it develops in the near future. 

Solving global energy problems is a great challenge to human ingenuity. What would be a major source of energy: Oil, nuclear energy, renewable energy (Solar, Wind, Water, biomass, waves …etc.)?. 

Most of world countries have announced plans to switch towards renewable energy and away from fossil fuels. It is very important for society to implement this objective, to improve energy efficiency and to reduce environmental pollution
The study program of energy engineering offers the student the opportunity to obtain extensive skills for jobs that require expertise in energy technology in all sectors of society. 

The study program will give the graduate B.Sc. degree of engineering in energy technology broad skills in the dimensioning of equipment in the field of energy technology and in the energy technical and economical design of equipment and distribution systems. 

The areas of emphasis of the degree program are technical expertise, the management of the environmental effects in energy economic processes, the business economic design of the entire energy conversion, production, distribution, and usage process, environmental technology and international energy business. 

The Energy Engineering Program consists of three specializations (streams) as follows:
A: Electric power Engineering
B: Renewable energy engineering
C: Sustainable energy Engineering
