Overview

The Electrical Power Engineering (EPE) Department was established in 1993 and offers the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Power Engineering.  The department plays a vital role in providing Jordan and the region with qualified electrical power engineers. The department program focuses on both the theoretical and practical aspects of power engineering by addressing the fundamental concepts of engineering mathematics, physical sciences, electrical machines, power electronics, power system analysis, and high voltage engineering. The department also offers a Masters program in power engineering to cater for working professionals in electric power companies, utilities, manufacturing establishments and the energy sector in Jordan. The department is led by 16 highly qualified faculty members and attracts outstanding students from Jordan and neighboring countries. Currently there are 500 students of which approximately 5 percent are from outside Jordan.

Vision

To be distinguished locally, regionally, and globally as a leading department in education and graduating qualified students capable of competition, scientific research, and community service in the areas of electric power technology. Moreover, to provide engineering programs and services of high quality and be in line of technological development

Mission

Achieving the needs of the Jordanian community and the region and contribute to the progress of society by offering programs in Electrical Power Engineering of high quality in education, community services, and scientific research through the development of high-level graduates who fit the needs of the labor market. Graduates should be able to compete in solving society and industry problems and to develop a leading research to solve the energy problem in Jordan. Moreover, graduates should be able to contribute to improve the quality of life, advance economic development, and sustainable development.
