Bachelor Architectural Engineering

ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING

The department of architectural engineering is one of the six departments in the faculty of engineering at Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University that is established in, 1437-1438 H (2016-2017). The field of architectural engineering discusses the different aspects of buildings science and technology. These areas are including; building special design and analysis and integration buildings systems. The architectural engineering graduate will acquire several practical skills in the field of buildings design, structural analysis, electrical and mechanical layouts, sewage systems, fire protection, illumination and acoustic, building performance analysis, and construction management. Due to multi backgrounds that the AE program graduates possess, they will have the chance and the ability to find a job opportunities in many filed of the buildings industry. Such as Jobs in buildings design, building construction, construction management, building commissioning, and building systems verifications and installments.

Bachelor Chemical and Materials Engineering

The program deals with the application of basic and engineering sciences to study processes in which raw materials undergo chemical and physical changes to produce value-added products, focusing on the design, construction, and economic operation of process plants and equipment.

Bachelor Civil and Environmental Engineering

Civil and Environmental Engineering is a fundamental engineering discipline concerned with the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of infrastructure and civil facilities that contribute to improving quality of life and achieving sustainable development. The discipline integrates engineering, technological, and environmental principles to address challenges related to urban growth, natural resource management, and environmental protection. The field encompasses a wide range of specialized areas, including structural engineering, transportation engineering, water resources engineering, environmental engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction project management, surveying and geomatics engineering, and coastal engineering. These disciplines play a vital role in developing essential infrastructure, enhancing resource efficiency, and promoting environmental sustainability. The program equips graduates with the knowledge and skills required to keep pace with modern engineering and technological advancements and to contribute effectively to the design and implementation of development projects that meet societal needs and labor market demands. It also supports the preparation of highly qualified national professionals capable of contributing to the goals of sustainable development and Saudi Vision 2030 through active participation in infrastructure and environmental development projects.

Bachelor Electrical Engineering

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

The Department offers a program leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. Qualified students can complete the program in 10 semesters. Besides the core electrical engineering courses, students are allowed to choose five elective courses in order to specialize in one of the department areas of concentration. Students are allowed to complete the field training in the summer semester of the fourth level over a period of eight weeks, equivalent to two credit units. The electrical engineering courses are strengthened by a two final year senior project courses and a compulsory practical industrial training course. The former provides students the design and applications skills; while the later introduces students to real work environment challenges and links them with local relevant industry.

Bachelor Industrial Engineering

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid changes in various sectors of economy. In particular, manufacturing firms, engineering enterprises and organizations are becoming more complex. To be competitive in the global environment, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires sufficient number of industrial engineers who are well trained to design, install, maintain and manage complex industrial operations and manufacturing systems. In line with this development, the Department of Industrial Engineering was established in the Faculty of Engineering, King Abdulaziz University, Rabigh Campus in 1430/1431 AH. Currently, the department offers an ABET accredited Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering (BSIE) program based on the curriculum established in 2013 (1435 AH). Industrial Engineering is a discipline known for its breadth of scope and applications. It is not only concerned with technology, but also with people and operational issues. It combines scientific and technical knowledge with human sciences to design, plan, and analyze systems that involve people, materials, money, energy, equipment, information and other related resources. The most distinct aspect of industrial engineering is the flexibility it offers. Because of its broad perspective, industrial engineering is applicable in a wide variety of industries, including: manufacturing, health care, banking, insurance, transportation, construction, utilities, and government agencies. The BSIE program prepares students to work in activities such as manufacturing process planning and control, automation, production methods and standards, computer integrated manufacturing, information systems and statistical data analysis, facilities design and optimization of industrial operations. For industrial engineering graduates to function effectively within interdisciplinary environment, the proposed curriculum gives more emphasis on broad engineering sciences courses. To accommodate the job market in the surrounding industrial areas, changes to the curriculum and course contents were carried out. The comparative studies with various universities were performed for benchmarking. To achieve the requirements of professional licensure for engineers, the FE Exam topics are considered in the proposed curriculum. This report presents proposal for an updated curriculum for Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering to be offered by the Department of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, KAU Rabigh.

Bachelor Mechanical Engineering

The department of mechanical engineering, faculty of engineering at Rabigh, King Abdulaziz University is established in, 1430-1431 H (2009-2010) to be one of the pioneer engineering institutes in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Mechanical engineering is a wide specialization which has relation with all fields of life. The graduate of the mechanical engineering is a potential candidate to become one of the pillars of the nation’s industry, and the graduates may find good opportunities in different sectors especially in the fields of operation, maintenance, analysis, design, and development in mechanical and mechatronic systems…etc. Currently, the department of mechanical engineering is implementing several new initiatives to meet changes around the world and industrial needs. For undergraduate students a new study plan, based on well-known academic standards, is designed to meet the market requirements in this important area in the Kingdom. The department is provided with highly qualified scientific faculties and staff. Finally, newly developed laboratories with highly accurate instruments are established to use recent techniques and ensure quality and accreditation requirements.
