Therefore, Newsweek in the U.S has recently published an article about An-Najah being a leader in the Arab World in ABET accreditation and excellence.

The article talked about the Faculty of Engineering and IT, which is the largest faculty of An-Najah in terms of number of students and staff, as it has more than 5200 students and 200 distinguished staff members. It offers bachelor degrees for 18 engineering and IT programmes. The Faculty attracts top high school students, and it is distinguished with its available infrastructure and campus.

The article also mentioned that the Faculty established the Quality and Accreditation Unit – ABET Centre in 2011 to follow up the ABET processes.

In the conclusion, Newsweek mentioned that the Faculty has achieved international recognition through this accreditation, and ranked among the top number of the accredited programmes in the Arab world. And all these programmes have Industrial Advisory Boards linking them to the industry as ten student chapters of scientific international organizations were established.
