The Department of Electrical Engineering was established at Al-Huson University College since the college was operating under the umbrella of the Ministry of Education, then the college was transformed into one of Al-Balqa Applied University colleges since its establishment in 1997.
The department offers a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Electrical Engineering in three important majors in the field of electrical engineering:
- Communications and Software Engineering.
- Electrical Power Engineering.
- Systems and Network Security Engineering.
The B.Sc. degree is awarded after successful completion of 162 credit hours in addition to field training not less than 280 hours.
The department also offers an associate diploma in Electrical Power Systems Engineering after successful completion of 96 credit hours, as well as associate diploma in Communications and Computer Networks after successful completion of 72 credit hours and successfully passing the comprehensive exam.
The department includes a qualified educational staff of faculty members, engineers, technicians and laboratory supervisors in various specializations related to electrical engineering. The department also includes laboratories and workshops equipped with the latest equipment and facilities to serve the programs offered by the department to meet the needs of the labor market at local and regional levels.
