Salt, Sept. 22 (Petra) — Three teams from Al-Balqa Applied
University (BAU) have qualified for the Arab and Africa Collegiate
Programming Championship in Egypt after competing against nearly 100
teams from universities across Jordan.

The teams secured their places at the regional competition following
strong performances in the Jordanian Collegiate Programming Contest
(JCPC), held at the Applied Science Private University and organized
by the Jordan Programmers Association.

BAU fielded 18 teams in the national contest, where students tackled
challenges designed to test programming, algorithmic thinking,
logical analysis and problem-solving skills.

University President Ahmad Fakhri Al-Ajlouni said the qualification
reflects BAU’s investment in developing talented students and
providing training that strengthens their technical and competitive
skills.

He said programming competitions give students an opportunity to
apply academic knowledge to practical challenges while developing the
problem-solving abilities required in technology-related fields.

The three qualifying teams emerged from BAU’s Problem Solving Club,
which provides continuous training and prepares students for local
and regional programming competitions.

The club is supervised by Karam Eghneim, Assistant Dean of Student
Affairs at the Prince Abdullah bin Ghazi Faculty of Information and
Communication Technology, who oversees the preparation and training
of participating teams.

Acting Dean Mohammad Ryalat said the results demonstrate the progress
students have made in programming, logical reasoning and
problem-solving, stressing the faculty’s continued support for
activities that strengthen practical skills and prepare students for
competitive events.

The President of the Jordan Programmers Association also praised the
performance of BAU’s teams, saying the university has made notable
progress in programming and problem-solving competitions in recent
years.

He said the Problem Solving Club’s sustained training program has
helped improve students’ programming abilities and competitive
performance.
