Dr. Shrideh Al-Omari
Head of the department

 As the Head of the Department of Applied sciences , I have the unique opportunity to work with a remarkable collection of colleagues inside  and outside the Faculty of Engineering Technology who united by their passion for mathematical research to create an environment where enthusiasm and creativity can flourish.

About the Department:

    The Department of Applied Sciences (DAS) has been recently established by separating the pure-science discipline from the humanities discipline. Both together, they previously formed the Department of Basic Sciences (DPS). The DAS arises now as an independent department of the Faculty of Engineering Technology (FET) of BAU, and includes the mathematics, physics, and chemistry disciplines. It constitutes one of the most important departments at FET since it provides student with the basic courses they need in order to advance later on towards engineering courses.

The department looks forward to advance in its research capabilities as well as in instructing advanced courses in physics than just the freshman courses. Research is being currently conducted by various members of DAS, and it is possible that the research will be conducted at a higher rate in the future.

Applied Physics Section at FET

            The Physics Section (APS) of the Department of Applied Science (DAS) at the Faculty of Engineering Technology (FET) is home to 15 staff members, 8 of which are PhD, and the rest M.Sc. holders, and in various specializations. Located in the outskirts   of  the capital Amman, almost in the middle between Amman and a largely populated city Zarqa, it provides a convenient location, and easy access, for students coming from both cities. The APS receives annually about 600-1000 freshman (i.e., First Year) students from all over the country, as well as foreign nationals. The number of students, however, is not fixed and is growing from year to year. Thus FET is growing, flourishing, and has become one of the leading universities in Jordan.

            Being inside a faculty mainly for engineering, the PS focuses on, and mainly teaches service courses which are basic requirements for freshman engineering students. These service courses tend to help them in their future sophomore up to senior courses.

 Applied Mathematics Section at FET

   Welcome to the Applied Mathematics Section at FET :

      Mathematics occupies a core intellectual position at Faculty of Engineering Technology, an institution that is well known for its leadership in Science and Engineering. We have a great tradition to uphold professors who were one-time members of our Department. All faculty undergraduates take our classes, and we enjoy a special responsibility to teach these extraordinary students to appreciate the subject the way we do. As we look forward to the coming period, significant challenges and opportunities lie ahead .

Applied Chemistry Section (ACS) at FET

    Chemistry is more than the periodic table! It’s an exciting field at the heart of the physical sciences. You’ll learn how to think, analyze and investigate scientific problems in the lab.

    Chemistry is a diverse subject, central to the Sciences. Consequently when addressing many of the challenges facing our world today, from climate change to nanotechnology, you will find chemists at the centre of the research and application, providing a link to Biology and application to Physics and Engineering. Chemistry is also core to many more applied areas of Science, such as Materials Science, Pharmacy, Earth Science and Chemical Engineering. This diversity makes chemistry an exciting and dynamic subject and in demand to industry, education and many areas outside science.

Goals of ACS

  The goal of ACS is to provide engineering students with the required chemical knowledge needed for their study through teaching freshman engineering General Chemistry course and its laboratory. In addition, ACS is concerned with teaching Chemical Engineering students general chemistry courses (Chem. I and II and its labs), Organic Chemistry and its lab, Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis and its Lab and Physical Chemistry and its Lab in addition to Environment and Society.
