About

​​​​​​​The department of mechanical engineering was founded in 1428H and the studying in the preparatory year started in the academic year 1429-1430 H. The study is of 5 years duration including the preparatory year in addition to summer training in companies and agencies under supervision of the faculty members.

“The Mechanical Engineering Program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org/” 


Vision

​​​​​​​​​​​​The department’s vision is innovation and leadership in education, scientific research and community services.


Mission

To graduate qualified Mechanical engineers in accordance with the International Academic Standards and prepare them to meet the changing needs of society. These graduates will be able to compete locally and internationally. The Mechanical Engineering Program is committed to providing excellent education, pursuing relevant scientific research and partnership with industry and governmental societies, and actively engaging in community service.​

Objectives

The bachelor of science in mechanical engineering​ has established three broad program educational objectives (PEOs) for graduates as they progress through their careers Within few years of graduation, our graduates:

PEO 1: Career Contribution and Advancement: Through their ability to solve engineering problems, meaningful design and hands-on experience, critical thinking skills, and training in teamwork and communication, graduates will make significant contribution to their chosen field and advance professionally in mechanical engineering or allied disciplines.

PEO 2: Professionalism: Graduates will act with both professional and social responsibility in their career field, including a commitment to protect both occupational and public health and safety, and apply ethical standards related to the practice of engineering.

PEO 3: Life-Long Learning: Graduates will understand that their undergraduate education was just the beginning of their training, and will continue to develop their knowledge and skills through progress toward or completion of graduate education, and/or professional development through short courses or seminars, and/or professional certification, and/or participation in professional societies.

ME Program Goals

1. To deliver distinguished academic education that meets the needs of the labor market.

2. Providing creative research to contribute to building the knowledge economy.

3. Effective contribution to sustainable development and community service.

4. Offer a stimulating and attractive educational environment.

5. Develop an effective administrative and organizational environment in the ME department.


​Program Learning outcomes (PLOs) / Student outcomes (SOs)

  1. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
  2. An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  3. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  4. An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgements, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
  5. An ability to function effectively on a team, whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  6. An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgement to draw conclusions.
  7. An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.
  8. An ability to demonstrate knowledge of concepts of mechanical engineering and science.
