English plays a significant role in the development of communication technological advances, and engineering students have increased exposure to technological English. However, current college methodologies do not adequately address students' communicative needs during their English degree in Jordan.Objective- This study explored the attitudes of engineering students at Jadara University in Jordan towards English courses. Methods- A survey was conducted to gather quantitative data, and statistical analysis, both descriptive and inferential, was employed to interpret the findings.Results- The results revealed a general positive attitude towards the importance of English proficiency, although various factors such as course content, teaching methods, and perceived relevance to the engineering field influenced student perceptions.Conclusions- Recommendations for curriculum improvement and teaching strategies are provided based on the study's findings.
