Energy Systems Research Group

 
 

The  main  goals  of  the  Energy  Group   is   to   coordinate  the academic  programs  in  the  department  as  well  as  to  pursue research   activities   amongst   the   faculty   members   in   the department  and  also  with  the  industry.  The  group  constantly monitors  the  academic  program in the power, machines, power electronics,   high  voltage  and  other  disciplines  in  the Energy Systems  area.   The  group  takes  up   revising,   updating  and modifying  these   courses   whenever  necessary.   In   terms  of research activities, the group encourages and initiates intra departmental

 
 

research amongst the faculty members. The group also initiates and participates in research activities with the power industries, KACST and other International Organizations.
