Prince Hussein Bin Abdullah II Academy for Civil Protection

Overview of the Department of Engineering Laboratories and Workshops

The Department of Engineering Laboratories and Workshops is considered one of the fundamental pillars in the student’s journey toward academic excellence. It plays a pivotal role in strengthening the practical and applied aspects of all academic programs offered at the Academy. This is achieved through well-structured laboratory experiments that provide students with the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of theoretical concepts and to acquire hands-on experience that enhances their cognitive, scientific, and practical skills. Such integration effectively prepares students for success in their professional careers.

In addition, the department actively supports scientific research projects for both students and graduates by leveraging its advanced capabilities, modern equipment that aligns with labor market requirements, and its highly qualified and well-trained academic and technical staff. The department also places significant emphasis on student safety and security by implementing the highest standards of occupational health and safety and strictly enforcing preventive and personal protective measures. This ensures a safe and conducive learning environment that fosters creativity and innovation.
