Abstract

In this research we study the skills set and knowledge gap in civil engineering graduates and the market needs. Civil engineering is considered one of the most important engineering sectors in the world, and its effect directly impacts both GDP and employment; to keep and develop this field in Jordan, especially during the pandemic where students missed skills during the lockdown. In addition to, studying the changes in the market needs and building a new infrastructure depending on the increasing growth in population, then find a new method to introduce these skills and knowledge in the Jordanian universities. Moreover, find a way to improve the academic background in Jordanian universities to reduce the unemployment rates. This study was conducted mainly in Jordan, with some expertise being consulted from the region in six hypotheses.
