WELCOME To The Department Of Mechanical Engineering

OVERVIEW

Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and broadest branches of the engineering disciplines. The Mechanical Engineering program at UBT strives to graduate mechanical engineers of the highest quality, and to conduct applied research for community service.

Mechanical engineers play a central role in many industries such as Power Generation, Water Desalination, Oil Refineries, Air Conditioning, Automotive, Railway Transport, Aerospace and Aircraft, Water Supply, Renewable Energy, and Robotics.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers five tracks:

General, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning, Renewable Energy, Railway and Automotive, and Mechatronics. The program was designed by the University of Connecticut (USA) and approved by Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Higher Education.

Mission

The Mechanical Engineering department strives to graduate mechanical engineers of the highest quality and conduct applied research for community service.

Objectives

The mission of the Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) centers on the principle of improving the lives and livelihoods of people in Saudi Arabia in accordance with high national and international standards. We strive to create knowledge through research in the science and technology of mechanical engineering; to share knowledge through our educational programs and the dissemination of our new discoveries; and to develop the professional potential of faculty, staff, and students in Saudi Arabia.

Curriculum and Plan

PREPARATION PROGRAM

UBT’s Preparatory Program consists of non-credit courses specifically designed to improve student's proficiency in English before they undertake undergraduate study to develop and improve their knowledge of mathematical and analytic techniques through the English Language medium of instruction. The program also familiarizes students with various majors available at the college, the requirements of undergraduate study, study skills and discipline in all forms.

The program is comprised of the following courses:

  • Six English language Levels at the English Language Academy (ELA)
  • Pre-Calculus (depending on the placement test)

MECHANICAL 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 each student to meet his/ her academic advisor and follow the study plan of his/her major closely. This would typically include taking the lower level courses in the first and second year, getting as much 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.
