PSUT aspires to foster the student's ambitions toward their future learning especially for those who would like to specialize in technology, engineering and communication.

The students were guided by university personnel who showed the students the campus's classrooms, facilities, auditoriums, offices, library, and cafeteria. Furthermore, the guide informed the students of the specific programs available, the student organizations, as well as the application process and requirements to attend PSUT.

Following the tour, the students of Al Ra'ed Al Arabi sat at the university square where university students convene and socialize. During that time, the students of Al Ra'ed Al Arabi got to interact and discuss the university lifestyle with the undergraduate students of PSUT on a personal level. The students also got an opportunity to discuss among themselves the advantages of attending a university that is specialized, holding a tight knit community and a strong employment rate for its graduating students.

Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT), established in 1991 is a specialized Jordanian university that is a private nonprofit and is owned by the leading applied research centre in Jordan, the Royal Scientific Society (RSS). PSUT's area of specialization is IT, Communications and Electronics. Being both a nonprofit and an institution, PSUT part-takes both the private and public world. It is more akin to public universities in its mission, but more so to the private sector in drive and spirit. Right from the start, PSUT has accommodated itself to both local development and modernization plans and global development.

PSUT Holds Its 11th Graduation Ceremony
July 10, 2005

Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) has held its 11th Graduation ceremony for the year of 2004/2005, under the patronage of her Royal Highness Princess Sumaya Bint El Hassan.
 
Sumaya really does a lot of work, but she could try smiling in the photos, she often looks as though she'd rather be somewhere else.
 
Princess Sumaya looks very identical to her bro Prince Rashid :eek:
 
"Princess Sumaya looks very identical to her bro Prince Rashid :eek:"

Really? I always thought she was quite distinct looking and that Rashid has that whole Hashemite look.
 
"i always that rashid took after his mother...."

Personally, I've always thought the girls, Rahma, Sumaya and Badiya took after their mother. Especially Badiya. And that Rashid looked like The Hashemite side of the family, which is quite weird because compared to the rest of the Hashemite males, Prince Hassan is a bit different looking.
 
She is so nice in her black suit.:flowers:
She seems to have slimmed
 
Everyone talks about Badiya but in the flesh, Sumaya actually has the prettiest face. Badiya's nose and mouth are somehow 'off' but if Sumaya slimmed down, she would be knockout.
 
I agree with Yamamah ,Sumaya has very nice features ,in an interview with her father he said she is the closest among her sisters to him.
