Faculty Admission
Requirements
The students are admitted to the Faculty of
Engineering after completing successfully all the requirements of the
scientific track of the Prep year. The
Faculty of Engineering Council fixes each year the maximum number of the
students to be admitted. The Faculty
accepts the highest GPA students on condition that:
1.
They obtain at least 80% in Math, Physics and English language courses
of the Prep year.
2.
They accumulate a GPA of 3.5 or better.
Development Aspects of the Study Plan
In order to qualify for a BS degree in Engineering, a student must
successfully complete 155 credit hours with an overall GPA of 2.75 out of 5
or better while satisfying the curriculum requirements of his program of
specialization. Regular track students are also required to complete one
summer training of 10 weeks or in industry under the supervision of a faculty
member. This summer training and 6
credit hours of the department electives are replaced by the Coop work
program of 26 weeks for Coop track
students. The typical study period is
five years (10 semesters).
Departments and Degree Programs of the
Faculty of Engineering
The Faculty consists of the following three
departments as indicated in Table 1.

Study Plan Framework
The program of study for the Bachelor of Science Degree in
Engineering is designed to provide a strong background in Science,
Mathematics, Islamic Culture and Humanities besides the Engineering courses.
The main objective of the program is to develop the professional proficiency
of high caliber associated with personal and cultural maturity of the
students and consistent with the Islamic values and the social ethics of the
society.
Industrial training for students is an integral part of the
graduation requirements, which is given either as a summer training program
with 10 weeks duration in the regular track or as a single training under the
cooperative work program of 26 weeks duration (6 credit hours) in the Coop
track. The industrial training is supervised/evaluated jointly by the Faculty
members as well as by the personnel assigned by the industrial organization. The 6 credit hours of the Coop program
replace the summer training and two departmental elective courses.
The 155 credit hours required for the BS
degree in each Engineering Program in regular or Coop track are distributed
as indicated in Table 2A and Table 2B.

students are assumed to apply for specializations during the second semester
of this first year and join their departments starting from the second year
(fifth semester).
University Requirements
The university requirements consist of 12
courses of a total of 26 credit hours as shown below in Table 3.
