Architectural Engineering Department

About the Department

In 2002, a program in architectural engineering was introduced to develop new specializations that meet the hopes and needs of its students, while also providing graduates from all over Jordan with the opportunity to pursue these specializations.

The department aims to prepare qualified human resources at the local and regional levels, focusing on the theoretical and philosophical principles of architecture based on an Islamic civilizational perspective. The department produces graduates capable of addressing architectural problems within the field of architecture as a discipline with connections and overlaps with various theoretical and applied sciences.

The department also aims to create an architectural and urban environment that is compatible with human, social, psychological, and economic requirements by using environmentally friendly methods with the latest technologies in the field of energy provision and sustainability. This is done by opening channels of cooperation with engineering institutions in the public and private sectors. The department also seeks to appoint and send qualified faculty members to support the department with their research and academic expertise.

In 2022, a postgraduate program was introduced in the department, the Master of Architecture, to provide the region with qualified personnel in science and research, and with the latest teaching methods.
