Abstract: The study investigates 200 Jadara University translation students' thoughts on CAT curriculum integration to the curricula. It primarily concerns English translation students and how CAT tools impact their learning and professional development of their mastery of English skills. To utilize technology effectively, instructors must understand students' pre-adoption ideas and expectations. Quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews analyze students' CAT tool expectations, concerns, and acceptance. The findings indicate enthusiasm for efficiency increases and concern about complexity and traditional translation abilities. The study shows that CAT tool integration requires technical training and detailed education to address student concerns. This study aids Jadara University and other translation instructors in CAT tool integration. When implementing essential features, such as translation memory (TM), terminology management, and alignment tools, students will be abler to understand and practice real-world translation workflows.
