King Abdullah II School of Engineering
The King Abdullah II School of Engineering at Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) is among the finest engineering schools in Jordan. We are proud to claim many of the captains of Jordanian industry as our alumni, and I am confident the students who walk our corridors and fill our classrooms today will be among the leaders of tomorrow.
Our goal is to continue to prepare the future generation of Jordanian engineers to be innovative leaders and creative problem solvers. Engineering education and research cannot be separated. A strong graduate program is the hallmark of all great engineering schools, and PSUT is planning and striving to be one of Jordan’s leading research-intensive universities through its newly-established Master of Science program in Electrical Engineering. We have completed a long-term planning exercise and have identified our strengths and directions for the coming ten years. Over the next few years, we will continue this process of self-evaluation, external accreditation, renewal and growth of both our academic programs, staff and our infrastructure.
I believe strongly in our motto of ‘Together we succeed’, and I hope that all of you reading this message, our students (past, present, and future), and community supporters will all continue to lend a hand in strengthening one of the best engineering schools in Jordan. I firmly believe that with a clear strategy, and with your support, KASE at PSUT will continue to grow and adjust to the complex demands of the 21st century. In pursuing these opportunities we work with other PSUT Schools and centers, our alumni, Jordanian industry, and the government, as we continue to build the reputation of what is already one of Jordan’s finest engineering schools. To this end, I encourage you to visit our campus, call or contact us online.

To provide Jordan and the Arab region with competent professionals, with up-to-date knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering.
To enhance the knowledge, and engineering and research capabilities of facultymembers.
To support the School and University directives to encourage scientific research. The program will help increase the University’s global ranking through the
expected increase in the scientific output of faculty and students. Many engineering projects are underway in the Arab region, requiring holders of
advanced degrees in electrical engineering disciplines. Improving the University's ability to attract financial support for scientific
research projects.The curriculum of this program is designed to cover the basics of electrical
engineering specialization, with a focus on the fields of electronic, communications,
computer and control. Students can choose from a number of available elective
courses, which can increase the depth of their knowledge in a specialized field.
There are two options for the student in terms of completing the research thesis. When
choosing the thesis path, the student is expected to carry out specialized scientific
research procedures, and defend them before the committee. The second option,
which is the comprehensive exam, requires passing this exam after completing all the
courses and submitting an advanced project with a detailed report about it. Teaching
and supervision of scientific research in this program is carried out by a group of
qualified faculty members, who have graduated from internationally-known
universities, and are distinguished by high experience in their fields of specialization.
The program includes 34 credit hours, out of which 9 are elective hours. This program
accepts students with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or any of its sub-
specialties, or any similar degree, with a grade of "Good" or "C" or higher.

Communications EngineeringCommunications Engineering Program
Communications Engineering
The B.Sc. in Communications Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET (http://www.abet.org.) The curriculum of this program has been designed to provide a strong background in electrical engineering in general as well as to focus on both wired and wireless communications. The students therefore take several specialized courses in communications engineering such as Cellular Communications, Optical Communications, Communication Networks, Digital Signal Processing and Microwave Engineering that strengthen their knowledge in the field and prepare them to excel by graduation time. The department also has several specialized laboratories that are well equipped with state-of-the-art technologies where students acquire both practical skills and theoretical knowledge.The department has established close ties with Jordanian communications companies from the private sector. These ties facilitate the conduction of specialized senior projects and provide practical field training to students prior to graduation. Many national awards, from the Jordan Engineers Association and the National Technology Parade, were granted to students in this program in the last few years for the excellence of their senior design projects. The communications engineering students have also been exposed to world-wide research by publishing research papers and participating in international conferences.The curriculum is based on 160 credit hours. Students usually graduate in five years or less. The program accepts students who succeed in their Jordanian General Secondary Exam/Science Stream, or equivalent, with a minimum average of 80%.
