BS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (SASCED-P 07130101)

INTRODUCTION
The Electrical Engineering (EE) Program aims to respond to the high demand in the Middle East
for engineers to develop innovative approaches to solving engineering problems. Investigations
and surveys of human resources needs in Saudi Arabia have indicated a high need for highly
qualified electrical engineers. The economy is growing, especially in the electrical engineering
area, where a lot of money and effort are being invested.
The EE has aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 by training and educating students to develop the
electrical power infrastructure, especially in the transmission and distribution networks, and a
renewable energy market. The program will teach the fundamentals of these aspects along with
what is needed in the market.
The EE program is conceived with industry partners, ensures world-class facilities, and provides
knowledge and technical expertise in the latest research areas like Smart Grid, Power Electronics,
Electric Vehicles, etc. Electrical engineers are required in various core industries, including IT
companies in the private and public sectors. Besides, the program enhances the creativity of the
students to develop innovative projects and eventually results in novel products for the market
and society's needs.

PROGRAM VISION
The Electrical Engineering Program aspires to graduate outstanding electrical engineers capable
of serving the local societies professionally by providing them with high-quality and up-to-date
electrical engineering education.
