Major Of Electrical Engineering

WELCOME To The Department Of ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

OVERVIEW

Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering that basically deals with the study and application of electronics, electricity, and electromagnetic waves. This branch first became a well-known occupation at the end of the 19th century after the invention of the telephone, electric telegraph, and electric power use and distribution.

Electrical engineering includes electronic engineering. This distinction is only found in the US. Electrical engineering deals with the applications associated with systems like electric power systems, and electrical machines. However, electronic engineering is the study of electronic systems including digital computers, optoelectronics, integrated circuits, communication systems, and radar.

Mission

The mission of the Electrical Engineering program is to provide outstanding education of sufficient depth and breadth to its undergraduate students in accordance with national and international high standards with the goal of responding to the pressing needs of rapidly changing technology in the Electrical Engineering field in KSA society. The program provides graduates with highest level of knowledge, skills and attitudes required for them to be leaders and beneficial to the community.

Objectives

The Educational Objectives of the Electrical Engineering program describe the expected accomplishments of our graduates during the first few years following their graduation from the program. The graduates will have the knowledge and skills needed to:  

Adopt and continuously practice life-long learning through acquiring new knowledge, improving skills and professional education.
Actively contribute to the advancement of engineering practice in the public or private sectors in the scope of electrical engineering domains.
Graduating professional engineers who apply ethical and social aspects in the electrical engineering problems.
Striving for a balance between theory, laboratory, and design experience by providing fundamental electrical engineering courses as well as exposing students to cutting edge technologies for design and implementation.

Curriculum and Plan

REQUIREMENTS PROGRAM

UBT’s Requirements Program consists of non-credited courses and English courses aimed at improving students’ language proficiency before they begin their undergraduate studies, as well as to develop and improve students’ knowledge of mathematical and analytical techniques through the medium of English Language.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING PLAN

It is highly important to follow the program plan during its different semesters as it was designed to prepare students in each stage to totally benefit from the following one. It is crucial for students to meet their academic advisor and follow the study plan of their major closely. This would typically include taking lower level courses in the first and second year, getting as much of general education as possible, and then moving on to take major courses and possibly some minor courses. This is a very carefully structured process that students should closely adhere to.
