Among its notable achievements at the scientific and academic level, and as part of its development and modernization progress at the local, regional and international levels, and in line with the vision of economic modernization of Jordan, Yarmouk University has obtained the American Academic Accreditation for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for seven of its undergraduate programs in the Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Science, Al-Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, and the Department of Statistics in the Faculty of Science. This is praiseworthy considering that ABET accreditation is one of the most reliable international accreditations in the fields of applied sciences, computer science, engineering and technology, and it is the most renowned accreditation system in the universities of the United States of America and some others around the world.
The President of the University, Professor Islam Massad, said that Yarmouk is proud of such achievement, as it reflects the efforts and determination of its distinguished cadre, pointing out that the University always seeks to develop and modernize its academic programs in line with its strategic vision, mission, and main goal of providing qualitative and distinguished academic education at the local and international levels. This can be achieved, he said, through the comprehensive restructuring of the various academic plans and study programs in all departments, considering the recent developments in the fields of knowledge and education. Massad also acknowledged the efforts of the members of the academic and administrative bodies in the three Faculties, stressing the importance of working harder to obtain more prestigious international accreditations to reflect the distinguished level and good reputation of Yarmouk University locally, regionally, and globally.
The Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Science, Dr. Qasim Radaydah, explained that the Faculty has obtained the American Accreditation (ABET) for three undergraduate programs in the Faculty, namely Computer Science (CS), Computer Information Systems (CIS), and Business Information Technology (BIT). This achievement, he emphasized, means that the programs and infrastructure of both the Faculty and University are compatible with international requirements, which reflects positively on the graduates of these programs and opens the way for them to engage in the international labor market. He then extended his thanks and appreciation to the University administration for its continuous support of such projects and to the Faculty cadres for their teamwork.
The Dean of Al-Hijjawi Faculty for Engineering Technology, Dr. Mowaffaq Al-Atoum, stated that the Faculty obtained the American Academic Accreditation for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for three undergraduate programs, namely Communications Engineering, Biomedical Systems Engineering, and Biomedical Informatics Engineering. Likewise, the Dean of the Faculty of Science, Dr. Amjad Al-Nasser, declared that obtaining the ABET by the Department of Statistics in the Faculty reflects the distinguished academic level of the Faculty of Science and the high academic level of its faculty members.
