About  The Department :

Electrical engineers are essential to almost every industry. It is in fact difficult to imagine a modern industry without the services of Electrical engineers. Electrical engineering has been and continues to be a corner stone in every new technical development .
The job of Electrical engineers usually involves design, feasibility studies, cost analysis studies, installation, operation, and maintenance of plants, processes, or equipment. The focusing of the Electrical engineering department is on teaching,  community service,  and research. The department faculty recognize the need to provide the graduating engineer with the appropriate background in order to meet the challenges and large demands of a fast growing country such as the Kingdom.
The department of Electrical engineering mission is to provide education of quality, research, and community services that cover a broad spectrum of Electrical engineering areas. These areas include evaluation, design, operation, and maintenance of integrated governmental, industrial, and service systems

Mission :

The electrical engineering  department seeks  to meet the needs of the Saudi society and the region with outstanding electrical engineering programs in education, research, and community service.

Vision :

The electrical  engineering department  aims to be recognized locally, regionally and internationally as a leading department providing high quality programs and services in electrical engineering fields.

Program Educational Objectives:

The department in cooperation with its constituencies has identified the following list of Program Educational Objectives.

1-     Preparation of the graduates to have a successful career as electrical engineers in governmental and private sectors.

2-      Preparation of the graduates to pursue their professional development through self learning and advanced degrees.

3-     Preparation of the graduates to advance to positions of leadership in their profession.

4-     Preparation of the graduates to effectively participate in the sustainable development of the Saudi Society.

 

 Program Outcomes :

The outcomes of EE Program are listed below. At the time of graduation, our students will have:

a ) An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and electrical engineering sciences.
b ) An ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data.
c ) An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints.
d ) An ability to function on teams.
e ) An ability to identify, formulate, and solve electrical engineering problems.
f ) An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
g ) An ability to communicate effectively.
h ) The broad education necessary to understand the impact of electrical engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
i ) A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning.
j ) Knowledge of contemporary issues.
k ) An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for electrical engineering practice.

The EE curriculum and the actions taken to effectively implement this curriculum are the main vehicles that ensure that the Program Outcomes, and the ultimate Program Educational Objectives, are met. The curriculum includes basic science/math requirements taken during the low-level semesters.

Studying System :

The students can complete any of the engineering programs in 8 semesters (4 years) after the Foundation Program. The students in civil, electrical or mechanical program are required to complete 139 units; divided into 4 groups of courses: university requirements (12 units), college requirements (54 units ), department requirements ( 68 units ) and free courses (5 units) , Also, the graduates are required to complete cooperation training for 7 months at one of the private or governmental sectors.

There are two branches in electrical engineering (Power Engineering and Electronics & communication Engineering). The student should select one of them at the beginning of the 5^thsemester .
