Creation and development of the department

The Software Engineering Department was established in 2009 after the restructuring of the Faculty of Information Technology and Computer Engineering and the College of Mining and Environment Engineering at Al Hussein Bin Talal University.

The software engineering specialization was part of the Information Technology Department at the College of Information Technology and Computer Engineering. After the establishment of the Information Technology College in 2009, the software engineering specialization became an independent department at the College of Information Technology (CoIT), which also includes the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Computer Information Systems.

The Software Engineering Department has three members with a doctorate degree, an assistant professor, a master's degree, a secretary and three laboratory supervisors. In addition, the department has three computer labs connected to the Internet.

The Department of Software Engineering received the accreditation from the University Accreditation Authority in Jordan.

The department recognized the demand for software engineering in Jordan. Therefore, the department sent two envoys to obtain doctorates from distinguished universities in countries such as the United States and Australia.

Bachelor of Software Engineering

The number of credit hours required for a bachelor's degree in software engineering is 132 credit hours. The program is a typical four-year program to obtain a bachelor's degree in software engineering from Al-Hussein Bin Talal University. The program aims to prepare students to take positions in both the public and private sectors and the computer and education sectors, and provides them with opportunities to obtain a higher academic degree in this specialization and in various IT disciplines.
