Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering is a discipline that studies electricity and electrical technology. Students discover the wonders of circuit theory and analysis, amplifiers, semiconductors, and reverse engineering. After graduation, electrical engineers design, develop, test, and fix electrical systems, as well as other electronic devices. Electrical engineering plays a crucial role in innovations in industries such as healthcare, transport, or robotics.

Some of the subfields within Electrical Engineering include Lighting Design, Energy Engineering, Power and Measurement, Smart Electrical Networks and Systems, Electronics, etc.

Courses in Electrical Engineering are interdisciplinary. They focus on principles from Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electromagnetism, Electronics, as well as the fundamental Electrical and Electronic Engineering concepts. You learn how to take systems and devices apart, how they work, and how to fix them. Courses also focus on advancing current gadgets, communication systems, creating better and safer devices, and using new technologies to improve tools used by people daily. You will become familiarized with concepts connected to circuitry, electromagnetism, and semiconductors.

After graduating in Electrical Engineering, you will fully understand the importance of electric power and power generation. You'll also develop technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills.

Electrical Engineering allows you to access lucrative jobs. Here are some of the most popular choices: acoustic consultant, broadcast engineer, CAD technician, electrical engineer, network engineer, system analyst, etc.

Students with a high school diploma or its equivalent from outside Jordan can enroll in higher education institutions directly through websites of public and private universities or intermediate community colleges based on their averages. Universities implement the credit hours system, which allows students to choose courses according to their study plan.

Students wishing to enroll in a master's program must hold a bachelor's degree. Furthermore, students who wish to enroll in doctoral programs must hold a master's degree.

In addition, students wishing to enroll in postgraduate programs are required to provide a certificate confirming their English proficiency level in a TOEFL or IELTS exam. They could also demonstrate a certain proficiency level in French or German. Lastly, they could take an English language exam held by the higher education institution they apply in.

In the event that the student fails to prove the required level of English, German or French, or fails the English equivalency exam, they may study a qualifying program in English at the university where they undertake additional six credit hours; he/she must score a minimum grade that varies according to their specialization.

Students can apply for admission to a higher education institution in Jordan through the following:
