Modified Study Plan – 2014

When compared with the Study Plan currently in use by the Registration Department,

the changes involved in this new Modified Study Plan – 2014,are as follows:

Courses Dropped from the

Current Plan

Courses Added to the

Current Plan

CME 311 ( Introduction to Communication

Systems )

CME 412 (Communication Transmission

Systems )**

CME 513 (Global Positioning Systems)*** CME 513 (Telephone Engineering )***

IE 353 ( Engineering Economics ) CME 596 (Seminar on Communication

Systems: 1 credit hour.)****

* Contents of this Course are included in CME 312. All students

registered in previous years are exempt from taking it, but must

take CME 412 to complete their requirements.

** Contents of this course are necessary for any communication student.

*** The subject of the title ( Global Positioning Systems ) carries a far less

importance than its replacement : (Telephone Engineering ).

**** Since physics Labs were reduced from 2 credit hours to 1 credit hour,

Our plan need 1hour to get it back to 175 credit hours.

Note 1: Our present Study Plan has already been accredited, and the proposed

modifications are intended to make it more the better.

Note 2: Physics and Math recent changes are applied in this plan.

GERL 202: German IV (3 Cr. Hrs.)Can understand the main contents of complex texts, as well as concrete and abstract topics; even discussions between specialists in his/ her own special field. Can communicate spontaneously and fluidly a normal discussion with native speakers, without larger effort on both sides. Can express oneself clearly and in detail in a broad spectrum of topics, describe a point of view to a current question and indicate the pro and cons of different possibilities.

GERL 301: German V (3 Cr. Hrs.)Can understand and also seize implicit meanings of a broad spectrum of demanding, longer texts. Can express oneself spontaneously and fluidly, recognizing words without having to search for words frequently. Can use the language effectively and flexibly in social and vocational life or in training and study. Can express oneself clearly, structured and detailed, to complex subjects and use appropriate different means for linkage of texts.

NE 101: National Education (3 Cr. Hrs.)In a context of striving towards democracy like the one Jordan enjoys today, the meaning and practice of active and responsible citizenship becomes more crucial. It is often argued that democracy requires “democrats” to flourish, and become well established. Democrats are those women and men who recognize pluralism, inclusion, positive engagement, and participation as the main values that govern their interaction

with the state as citizens and with each other as diverse people of different interests. In this course you will be able to understand your rights and responsibilities as Jordanian citizen, expand your knowledge about the frameworks, and processes that regulates citizen-state relationships as well as the basic necessary skills for you to practice your citizenship rights in a civic manner.

IC 101: Intercultural Communication (3 Cr. Hrs.)This course is designed to provide prospective students (whose majors have an international flavor) with tools that offer powerful possibilities for improving the communication process. We will examine the process of sending and receiving messages between people whose cultural background could lead them to interpret verbal and nonverbal signs differently. We will learn about the diversity of these cultural differences and at the same time learn how we might overcome them. Our efforts to recognize and surmount cultural differences will hopefully open up business opportunities throughout the world and maximize the contribution of all the employees in a diverse workforce.

SFTS 101: SOFT SKILLS (3 Cr. Hrs.)This course is designed to help develop strong oral and written communication skills. The student will be given opportunities to practice writing and editing professional correspondence and technical reports. Additionally, the student will compose and deliver oral presentations. Assignments will include the use of inductive and deductive approaches to conveying a variety of messages. The course emphasis the use of software tools to prepare presentations, stress management, confidence, and sensitivity to others. It also stresses on resume writing and conducting interviews.

SE 301: Social Entrepreneurship and Enterprises (3 Cr. Hrs.)This course will serve as an introduction to the field of social entrepreneurship and social enterprises. Through lectures, field visits, analyses of relevant literature, case studies and exercises, this course will explore social entrepreneurship’s potentials, opportunities and limitations.

The topics will cover: Defining Social Entrepreneurship. Contextualizing Social Entrepreneurship (need, motives, forms, criteria). Role of Leadership, Creativity and Innovation. Locating SE on the profit/non-profit continuum. SE in the larger fields of development, social change, community activism. Social Enterprises (Missions, Markets, Finances). Ethical business and Corporate social responsibility.

MATH 101: Calculus I (3 Cr. Hrs.)This course introduces the student to the calculus of single-valued functions. Topics include: limits, continuity, rates of change, rules for differentiating, differentials and local linear approximations, maxima and minima problems, L’Hôpital’s rule, related rates, logarithmic and implicit differentiation, inverse trigonometric and hyperbolic functions, Rolle’s theorem, the mean-value theorem, and applications of derivatives and integrals.

MATH 102: Calculus II (3 Cr. Hrs.)This is a course in multivariate calculus as a continuation of Calculus I. The course focuses on power series, polar coordinates and polar functions, sequences and infinite series, vectors, functions of several variables and their limits, partial differentiation and their applications. The course views multiple integrals: double and triple, line integrals, surface integrals, Green’s theorem, Gauss's divergence theorem, and Stoke’s theorem.
