In this era, we are surrounded by electrical and computer engineering products and services from all sides. The energy that we enjoy in homes and offices, electronic devices and control media within various systems, within the car, aircraft, manufacturing and production systems, as well as communications and electronics systems and their networks, and the Internet. All of these systems, and their applications in different fields, are parts of the electrical engineering discipline.
The Department of Electrical Engineering aims to graduate electrical engineers specialized in various fields of electrical engineering and capable of promoting the rapid development witnessed by the Kingdom. The department prepares the specialized power engineer to work in electrical power generation stations, substations, high-voltage networks and transformers, the machinery engineer capable of designing, developing and analyzing the performance of generators and electric motors of all types and capacities, as well as operating and controlling them through power electronics systems, and the communications engineer who operates, develops and maintains. Telecommunication systems, digital signal and image processing, and the electronics engineer who works on designing and maintaining electronic circuits and systems that are used in the fields of communications, control, and other systems, whether civil or military, in addition to the systems engineer who designs and manages computer control systems to operate industrial processes and many fields. Applied. A group of new courses in the medical engineering specialty were also added to keep pace with industrial and technical development in that field.
Based on the above, the importance of establishing a department for electrical engineering comes as the department seeks to provide a distinguished program concerned with responding to the scientific and technical changes taking place in the world on the one hand, and responding to the requirements of the local community in this field on the other hand.
