The Chemical Engineering Club
Introduction
In 2007, a student initiative led to the establishment of the Chemical Engineering Club (ChE Club) in the Chemical Engineering Department at JUST. Since its inception, the club has worked as a collaborative body to provide services and help to the department’s student in various academic, educational, and social areas. Currently, the club is expanding its role to act as a liaison between the students and the faculty in an effort to enhance the educational process and strengthen the ties between them. The club ambitions is to expand outside the department and university and participate in external activities with the university students in general, the chemical engineering organizations in Jordan, and local community at large.
