Undergraduate Program in Electrical Engineering Science

 
 


Program Educational Objectives 2009

The EE department has defined a set of objectives that translates its mission into defined tasks. The objectives of the EE Science program are designed to provide EE graduates with:

  1. A successful electrical engineering career to become leaders in the industry and the public sector, or pursue an advanced degree if so desired.

  2. The necessary skills related to basic planning, analysis, design, implementation and operation of major electrical engineering systems.

  3. Contemporary professional practice of electrical engineering using advanced analytical, computational and experimental tools.

  4. Continuous professional development, engagement in life long learning, and having the necessary skills related to team work and effective communications.

  5. Professional responsibilities, ethical values, economic considerations and global issues related to electrical engineering.

 

Program Learning Outcomes 2009

The outcomes of the Electrical Engineering Science program are to provide students with abilities to:

  1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

  2. Design and conduct electrical engineering experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data

  3. Design an electrical system, component, or process to meet desired needs

  4. Function on multi-disciplinary teams

  5. Identify, formulate, and solve electrical engineering problems

  6. Understand professional and ethical responsibility

  7. Communicate effectively

  8. Acquire the broad education necessary to understand the impact of electrical engineering solutions in a global and societal context

  9. Recognize the need for, and be able to engage in life-long learning

  10. Acquire knowledge of contemporary issues

  11. Use the techniques, skills, and modem electrical engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

  12. Apply the probabilistic methods and statistics to electrical engineering problems

  13. Use effectively the information technology tools to design, develop, and implement electrical systems.

In training of students, the electrical engineering program emphasizes three aspects. First, classroom subjects in science such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry enable the student to develop the necessary analytical ability and the underlying scientific principles. This aspect is complemented by subjects in the humanities. Second, classroom subjects in electrical engineering cover common material and allow the student to emphasize certain electrical engineering disciplines through the choice of Department electives. Third, laboratory classes expose the students to the instrumentation, design, and construction of electrical and electronic devices and circuits. This aspect is complemented by a summer employment program in which the student undergoes industrial training.


After completing the undergraduate program in electrical engineering, the student is qualified to take up responsible employment or further develop his studies by enrolling in a graduate program. Numerous work opportunities for electrical engineers exist in the Kingdom, where graduates may work in the areas of communications - including telephony, telegraphy, and point-to-point radio and television as well as the areas of power engineering, electrical installation, broadcasting, microwave, satellite, and mobile communications. Graduates are also required by industry for work in information processing and computers and in systems analysis. Other opportunities exist in industrial electronics, instrumentation, manufacturing technology, and microwaves.
