A compulsory course for bachelor students in their first semester at the university, aims at advising, orienting and supporting them to facilitate their engagement in the campus life. Moreover, it is an opportunity to encourage students to be involved in some initiatives/activities of positive ethical, social, or academic impact on the community and on the students themselves. | 1st Year, 1st Semester |
| | Advanced Interdisciplinary Course in Utilization of Computational and Programming Techniques in Physics.
This course gives a modern introduction to the basic methods in computational physics. Computational physics is a rapidly growing subfield of physics and computational science in large part because computers can solve previously intractable problems or simulate natural processes that do not have analytic solutions. The broad categories of computational physics are Simulation, Visualization and Modeling. This course is basically intended to provide students with the ability of solving difficult problems by using computational methods and to learn and use programming languages. | Master |

This course lays down the experimental and theoretical basis of the ion beam analysis (IBA) techniques as part of the active research topics available in the University of Jordan Van de Graaff Accelerator (JUVAC) facility. The main theme of the postgraduate elective course “Special Topics in Physics” is to facilitate the engagement of postgraduate students in the current research topics in the department of physics. I designed this special course in ion beam analysis techniques to encourage students to pursue experimental research. On the long run, this course may “induce” well-prepared and passionate students to conduct IBA experiments with a range of X-ray, gamma ray, and particle-based detection techniques. This may further expand the community of scientists and students utilizing accelerator-based techniques. | Master |
