The Colleges of
Engineering Sciences and Applied Engineering consist of the following
six departments: Aerospace, Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical
and Petroleum. The departments offer BS degrees both in Engineering
Sciences and Applied Engineering, and MS and PhD degrees in
Engineering Sciences. The current student enrollments in these
departments at the start of 2003-2004 academic year are as follows:
Aerospace: 84, Chemical: 317, Civil: 152, Electrical: 1103,
Mechanical: 884 and Petroleum: 251.
Classes are conducted
by highly-qualified and motivated faculty in smart classrooms, which
are networked and equipped with the latest computers and teaching
equipment. Students are encouraged to work in groups whenever possible
and are given projects especially in junior and senior level courses
to foster creative thinking and team work. Many courses contain labs
to expose the students to the experimental and practical aspects of
presented materials in classrooms.
The departments have many modern
facilities to carry out quality research in various areas. The
research activities in each department are divided into main groups.
Some of these groups are: Aerospace:
aerodynamics, aerospace structures, flight dynamics & control and
propulsion; Chemical:
fluid and thermal,
materials, polymers, process systems engineering, reaction engineering
& catalysis, separation and thermodynamics and equilibria; Civil:
structures & materials, geotechnical engineering, transportation
engineering and water resources & environmental engineering;
Electrical: communication systems, control systems, digital
systems, electromagnetics, electronics, energy systems and signal
processing; Mechanical: thermo fluid sciences, dynamics &
design and materials & manufacturing; Petroleum: production
engineering and reservoir engineering. |
