The current study aimed to identify the extent to which the academic outcomes of the programs of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Jordan conform to the American accreditation standards "ABET". To achieve the study objective, the qualitative method was followed and three tools were used: standardized open-ended interviews, participant observation, and analysis of documents collected from the field. Major findings revealed that engineering departments which were granted accreditation seek to achieve the academic outcomes of the programs that emanate from the international accreditation standards of ABET by a periodic continuous comprehensive evaluation system of all activities of the teaching process. Internal accreditation committees are formed in the engineering departments consisting of academic staff, administrative professionals and specialists with experience in monitoring and evaluation. The Faculty of Engineering has benefited from achieving the minimum standards of accreditation in improving the quality of learning outcomes and obtaining accredited university degrees similar to any degree in an accredited American university. The engineering departments also seek to improve the infrastructure and provision of equipment appropriate to the standards through obtaining institutional support. Despite the existence of some obstacles and challenges facing the engineering departments, they have benefited from accreditation. It was recommended to apply accreditation standards for all academic majors in universities for their importance for students, faculty members and the profession. Keywords: academic outcomes, faculty of engineering, University of Jordan, abet accreditation standards, faculty, quality representatives.

The present study aimed at investigating the role of scientific research in the development of the local community from the point of view of the faculty members in the Palestinian Universities. To achieve this objective, a convenient sample of (244) faculty members from the universities of northern Palestine: Al-Quds Open University (Tulkarm), An-Najah National (Nablus), Technical Palestine - Khadouri (Tulkarem), and Arab American (Jenin). The results of the study showed that the participants' assessment of the importance of the role of scientific research in community development was medium in the overall instrument and two dimensions: applied research and scientific consultancy, but their assessment of awareness-raising was high. On the other hand, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of the role of practical research in the development of the community attributed to the gender variable in favor of males on the overall instrument and three dimensions, while there were no statistically significant differences in the level of participants' assessment attributed to the variable of specialization. The differences were in favor of the disciplines of educational sciences and applied sciences. There were also statistically significant differences in the level of their assessment attributed to the qualification variable on the overall instrument and the three dimensions in favor of PhD holders.Keywords: scientific research, community service, awareness-raising, applied research, scientific consultancy.

The study aimed to identify the level of effectiveness of educational programs provided to students with disabilities at the Academy of Tayeb Ali Taha in Kosti, in light of the international standards of special education. The researchers used the descriptive correlational method. To collect data, indicators of the international standards of special education, which include strategic planning, educational administration, educational environment, educational programs, family participation, integration and transition services, and evaluation, were applied. The indicators were used with a purposive sample of (34) employees of Al Tayeb Ali Academy for Special Needs. The SPSS software was used for data analysis. Major results revealed a low level of effectiveness of the programs presented in light of the international standards of education with a mean of (2.28) at the level of statistical significance (0.05). Findings also revealed significant differences at the level of significance (0.05) and a mean of (41.83), which indicates the highest level of effectiveness. The mean of effectiveness of the educational environment dimension was (37.166); the dimension of administration and workers scored a low medium mean of (27.25); and the dimension of integration and transition services scored a mean of (25 33). The lowest level of effectiveness of the dimensions: the participation of the family scored a mean of (16.58), and the strategic planning scored a mean of (19.50). The study recommended preparing trained teams to evaluate the effectiveness of the standards for the different programs and services provided to students with disabilities in the "White Nile State", implementing accountability system, and rolling out the criteria and indicators adopted by the Council of Persons with Disabilities to all institutions in the state.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of three strategic planning dimensions (environmental analysis, strategic direction and strategy formulation) on the five performance dimensions of Yemeni universities (profitability, market share, social responsibility, customer satisfaction, and scientific research). The descriptive analytical method was used and the data were collected by using a questionnaire. The study population consisted of the academic and administrative leaders in the Yemeni universities from which a sample of 301 participants were selected using the census method. To achieve the study objective and test the hypothesis, the descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. The results of the study revealed an interest in practicing strategic planning dimensions in the Yemeni universities under investigation. There was a disparity in the level of achieving the performance dimensions, where 'market share' was the most achieved dimension, and 'profitability' was the least achieved dimension. The results also showed a disparity in the impact of strategic planning dimensions on the performance of Yemeni universities, where ‘strategy formulation’ was the most influential dimension; and ‘strategic direction’ was the least influential dimension. It was concluded that Yemeni universities should direct more focus on their practice of strategic planning of all dimensions because it has a positive impact on their performance.

To achieve this objective, a convenient sample of (244) faculty members from the universities of northern Palestine: Al-Quds Open University (Tulkarm), An-Najah National (Nablus), Technical Palestine - Khadouri (Tulkarem), and Arab American (Jenin). The results of the study showed that the participants' assessment of the importance of the role of scientific research in community development was medium in the overall instrument and two dimensions: applied research and scientific consultancy, but their assessment of awareness-raising was high. On the other hand, the results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the level of the role of practical research in the development of the community attributed to the gender variable in favor of males on the overall instrument and three dimensions, while there were no statistically significant differences in the level of participants' assessment attributed to the variable of specialization. The differences were in favor of the disciplines of educational sciences and applied sciences. There were also statistically significant differences in the level of their assessment attributed to the qualification variable on the overall instrument and the three dimensions in favor of PhD holders.Keywords: scientific research, community service, awareness-raising, applied research, scientific consultancy.

This study aimed to investigate the impact of three strategic planning dimensions (environmental analysis, strategic direction and strategy formulation) on the five performance dimensions of Yemeni universities (profitability, market share, social responsibility, customer satisfaction, and scientific research). The descriptive analytical method was used and the data were collected by using a questionnaire. The study population consisted of the academic and administrative leaders in the Yemeni universities from which a sample of 301 participants were selected using the census method. To achieve the study objective and test the hypothesis, the descriptive and inferential statistical methods were used. The results of the study revealed an interest in practicing strategic planning dimensions in the Yemeni universities under investigation. There was a disparity in the level of achieving the performance dimensions, where 'market share' was the most achieved dimension, and 'profitability' was the least achieved dimension. The results also showed a disparity in the impact of strategic planning dimensions on the performance of Yemeni universities, where ‘strategy formulation’ was the most influential dimension; and ‘strategic direction’ was the least influential dimension. It was concluded that Yemeni universities should direct more focus on their practice of strategic planning of all dimensions because it has a positive impact on their performance. Keywords: strategic planning, performance, Yemeni universities
