As a matter of fact, their limitless efforts are currently playing a pivotal part in the development and advancement of our community and the industrial sector.

As an urgent response to the community’s requirement in 1990, It was the lying of the groundwork of establishing the Faculty of Engineering by launching the Computer Engineering and Automotive Engineering programs. Then, the role of the Faculty of Engineering and its management continued by offering more qualitative specializations relating to an extensive study of the needs of the local market in its industrial and service sectors. Now, we have four engineering departments that include in a total of fourteen distinguished engineering programs, in addition to master's programs, to support and play a significant role in the industrial and constructional revolution.

Furthermore, it provides the opportunity for students to acquire the theoretical and practical skills necessary to solve engineering problems, find creative solutions and create job opportunities for the graduates.

Believing in the responsibility entrusted to us in this field for the progression of our beloved country, we will work in the future and within our strategic plan to introduce more new and unconventional disciplines at the bachelor’s and master’s levels to have a great impact on becoming independent from others. Our vision aims to empower our graduates in order to build our country. Undeniably, our graduates have always accomplished success and excellence in all fields of work and study in and out border. Moreover, we aim to work with the local community to raise the quality of education and scientific research, providing the necessary human resources, including qualified educators, laboratory supervisors and technicians. Likewise, we’re continually working on providing laboratories with more modern equipment necessary to cover the practical skills of the programs as required by the ongoing updates of the graduation plans.

Finally, I am delighted to congratulate our graduates who gained knowledge within the university for five consecutive years that they spent in learning and preparing themselves for the future. I wish them all the success. You are the ambassadors of your university inside and outside the country. Furthermore, I congratulate high school students who made a decision to be enrolled and study in the Faculty of Engineering at Palestine Polytechnic University, and I wish them prosperous, progress and success.
