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
Courses Added to the
Current
Plan
CME 311 ( Introduction to Communication
Plan
CME 412 (Communication Transmission
Systems )
Systems )**
CME 513 (Global Positioning Systems)***

IE 353 ( Engineering Economics )
CME 513 (Telephone Engineering )***

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.
Modified CME Study Plan

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.
