Vision
The Pharmaceutical-chemical Engineering program at GJU is an integration of fields that is unique in Jordan and the Middle East. Students will be exposed to basic and advanced courses that blend topics of chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology and engineering. Pharmaceutical and Chemical Engineering (PCE) program emphasizes the application of technologies and tools in the short term, and the ability to discover, acquire, and adapt new knowledge and skills in the long term, such that our graduates are able to:
- define, analyze, and solve current challenges in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
- discover, understand, and incorporate strategic steps in designing solutions for problems.
- lead/ manage design, development of various solutions for technical problems.
- function in culturally diverse teams based on their ability to communicate effectively through proficiency in three languages (Arabic, English, and German).
The pharmaceutical industry in Jordan is among the most developed and rapidly growing sectors of the economy. Therefore, Chemical-Pharmaceutical Engineering comes about in anticipation of providing the chemical and pharmaceutical industry in Jordan with the much needed human resources who are well versed on state-of-the-art technologies in their fields of acquired expertise. Integrating different disciplines of Engineering and sciences for targeted education with special focus on practical training constitutes the main skeleton of the department. This strategy will positively reflect upon the quality of experienced workforce in Jordanian and regional markets. On the other hand, the department is concerned in transferring technology and quality research to the Jordanian industry through diverse national and international collaboration.
