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.
