Dr. ISLAM THABET HASAN ALMALKAWI

On behalf of our students, staff, and faculty, it is my great pleasure to welcome you and invite you to discover the Computer Engineering Department (CpE) at The Hashemite University. Established in 2006, The Computer Engineering Department is seeking to achieve outstanding record of contributions to the profession and community.
Our website highlights the key areas of our activities, strengths, and accomplishments. You will learn about the signature research we pursue and our spirit of innovation and discovery. You will read about our outreach programs that go well beyond engineering. Our activities span a spectrum of projects in this vital field.
Electronics and computer-based technologies are the foundation of modern life. We are proud to contribute to their advancement and the society at large. We are rapidly recruiting and hiring exceptional new faculty who strengthen our teaching and research in both fundamental and signature research areas. In 2011, CpE department, as well as all departments in Engineering Faculty, got the approval for the special accreditation by the Higher Ministry of Jordan. The new plan became 160 credit hours.
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Computer engineering at the Hashemite University is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s General Criteria and Program Criteria for Electrical, Computer, Communications, Telecommunication(s) and Similarly Named Engineering Programs. The department future plan is to get the quality assurance certificate.
Compelled by significant changes in the funding model of public universities, we are increasingly becoming self-reliant. As this has become a necessary condition to sustain a vibrant and well-functioning department, we strongly like to grow externally funded programs. We also welcome the generous support of the community, private donors, and industry sponsors.
 
Such aid is indispensable in providing need based student assistance, which is a core tenet of our mission. We are also continuously affecting changes to the undergraduate curricula so that it reflects state-of-the-art computer engineering, and provide adequate breadth, depth, and rigor.
 
We are deeply committed to excellence in student training at all degree levels and maintain focused efforts to attract top student talent to our programs. CpE faculty, together with administrative and technical support staff, have created an environment that fosters collaboration, a culture of accomplishment, and strong support of intellectual diversity. I invite you to come in and see for yourself.
