Tuesday 19/1/2021: The kickoff meeting of "Development
Curricula for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (DeCAIR)" project was

and Technology and Tafila Technical University. The project is a three-year
project.

intelligence and robotics (AIR) courses in computer engineering and
mechatronics engineering for both the current bachelor's and master's programs.
It also aims to design and build a new master's program in AIR at the
University of Jordan, and a new bachelor's program in Intelligent Systems that
at Tafila Technical University. This is in addition to many other objectives,
including: building the capacities of faculty members, technical assistants and
students in AIR through the transfer of European expertise, networking with
various companies, institutions and universities related to it, the development
of new laboratories in AIR, and strengthening cooperation with local, regional
and European companies to apply AIR technologies.

the University of Jordan, presented a general summary of the project, which
included the objectives and importance of DeCAIR. Additionally, Abandah reviewed
the main stages of implementing the project, the main work packages of the
project and their distribution among the partners to guarantee the best
possible results. The participants expressed their interest and strong desire
for the success of this project. Additionally, the coordinators of the ten
partners gave overviews about their universities and their capabilities,
especially in the fields of AIR, which would help in the success of DeCAIR
project.

progress in AIR. Also, local and global markets are witnessing a strong demand
for qualified professionals in these fields. Therefore, finding qualified
people in AIR will create new companies, new job opportunities, and would
