Under the patronage of the University President, Professor Salameh Al-Nuaimat, and in the presence of vice presidents, the Faculty of Engineering held a scientific day on Monday, August 19, 2024, under the theme: "Graduation Projects for Engineering Students: Realities and Challenges."

According to the Dean of the Faculty, Professor Jamal Bani Salameh, the idea of holding this scientific day stemmed from the faculty’s belief in the necessity of maintaining connections with the industrial sector and reflecting its requirements on academic outcomes. The event featured a series of specialized scientific lectures delivered by a group of distinguished speakers. The event was held in collaboration with the Jordan Engineers Association, the King Abdullah II Fund for Development, and the Amman Chamber of Industry. The speakers highlighted the importance of graduation projects for engineering students, examining the current situation and the challenges students face in completing exceptional, innovative, and applied graduation projects that meet aspirations and can compete in local, regional, and global competitions.

The day also featured an exhibition and competition for graduation projects from students across various engineering disciplines, aiming to foster competitiveness among students and encourage creative scientific ideas. The exhibition showcased a wide range of innovative projects with practical applications in pioneering fields.

Prof. Bani Salameh also highlighted several of the faculty’s achievements, including obtaining numerous funding opportunities for various projects from both local and international sources, such as the European Union, the Royal Academy of Engineering (UK), and NATO, among others. These projects have facilitated the establishment of several state-of-the-art laboratories in the region, the most recent of which is the opening of the Materials and Energy Science Lab. This lab aims to enhance the research infrastructure at Mutah University, aligning with the university’s vision to empower research teams and elevate its standing among distinguished research universities. The Faculty of Engineering also secured ABET international accreditation for its Electrical and Chemical Engineering undergraduate programs for eight years, which will further enhance the academic and research standing of these programs. He expressed his gratitude for the continuous support of the Jordan Engineers Association, which contributed to equipping a model classroom (Zone) for the faculty’s students.
