Quality Assurance Unit
The Quality Assurance Unit was established in the Faculty of Computers and Information in 2006. The unit was approved as an administrative entity responsible for monitoring and evaluating performance within the faculty pursuant to the decision of the Faculty of Computers and Information Council No. (120) dated 8/14/2006.
Unit Director's Word
The rapid progress in our world imposes great challenges on us in all fields, especially the field of education. Traditional education is no longer the desired thing now, but the concepts of quality have emerged, linked first to industry and then included all areas of life, especially the field of education. The amount of knowledge is no longer the criterion by which the graduate is measured, but rather the means of teaching, learning and self-learning, and the ability to develop oneself, compete, cooperate and continuously improve. This is what comprehensive quality processes aspire to. The Quality Assurance Unit at the Faculty of Computers and Information was started by distinguished professors who made great efforts in order to apply for accreditation. In continuation of this journey, the faculty, thank God, applied for accreditation in January 2015, and we are awaiting the visit of the National Authority for Quality and Accreditation of Education in May 2015. As the faculty continues to work day and night to achieve this dream, we hope that our work will be crowned with obtaining academic accreditation and that we will truly become an accredited faculty and that our graduate will become an “accredited graduate”.
We ask God to crown our work with success, for He is the best Lord and the best Supporter,,,
