About Us:
The center of energy was instituted in June 2004 to establish closer relationship between Jordan university of Science and Technology (JUST) and different industries, professionals, policy makers and the public.
The internal code and by laws for the center have been issued and approved by the university council of governors, and the ministry of higher education.
The center is governed by a Board entrusted with formulating general policies and work plans, mobilizing financial resources and soliciting external funds, and forming task groups, and reviewing the overall performance of the center.
The center is headed by a director who oversees the day-by-day activities of the center and its different projects, implements policies, establishes contacts, and reports to the board for Budgetary and broad administrative matters.
The centre's mandate is:
To participate in the national and international efforts towards achieving sustainable development by Energy utilization and conservation and sustain its natural resources against improper use/overuse and pollution in an integrated manner that takes into consideration economic growth and other factors through education, research and services.
The centre's main objectives fall within the following domains:
Education and Training
Develop the curriculum for a program of master of science in Energy Technology with entry from different engineering disciplines responsive to local and global needs, problems and knowledge gaps.
Devise and offer specific training courses and vocational training modules for engineering managers and professionals in private industrial, and public sectors.
The objective of these courses is to promote energy awareness and policies and decision making processes.
Organize seminars, workshops and public lectures on issues pertaining to energy by academia and industrial experts.
Create and maintain national public-private partnerships with professional, trade, and educational associations to deliver appropriate energy education and training.
Promote effective energy and environmental education programs in high schools, colleges, and universities.
Contribute to the improvement of energy utilization to serve global environmental issues through international programs and partnerships in energy education and training.
Research
Conduct applied research with the specific objectives of dealing with energy needs and local problems identified either by the private or public sectors.
Carry out integrated research programs addressing sustainable development issues that will aid in the development and implementation of National Energy Strategy Plans with regard to the use of natural resources and their management.
