great experience
It was quite good experience. I just recently graduated. I had several good friend groups , also I had great grades and I won a good internships which allow me to travel to Hungary to take a train in hybrid car for two weeks.
I love studying and I want to complete it in Italy
It was really useful I learned a lot of things and science in my studies and I want to complete it in Italy because many people advised me to study there as it is very useful and full of useful knowledge.
my beautiful days
My journey studying chemical engineering at Al Balqa Applied University has been a demanding yet profoundly rewarding experience. What I truly valued was the strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning in the well-equipped labs, which brought complex theoretical concepts like thermodynamics and reaction engineering to life. The dedication and approachability of many faculty members, especially those with industry experience, provided invaluable mentorship and made challenging subjects more accessible. However, the experience could be enhanced by updating some laboratory equipment to better reflect current industry standards and expanding the range of specialized technical electives (like advanced process control or emerging fields in sustainable engineering) to allow deeper exploration of personal interests. While navigating demanding coursework and occasional resource limitations required resilience, overcoming these challenges fostered significant problem-solving skills and adaptability. Overall, my time here instilled a deep appreciation for the field's potential, equipped me with a solid foundational and practical skill set, and left me feeling prepared – though eager for continued learning – to contribute to the engineering world, grateful for the perseverance and knowledge gained.
