The College of Engineering in Al-Kharj, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University awards a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering after completing 166 credit hours according to the study plan on the two-semester system. The student must also finish the summer training for a period of eight weeks for those who have completed 112 credit hours according to the study plan before obtaining the degree. This practical training can be performed during the summer semester, or any other semester provided that the training should be done with a recognized industrial entity after having the college agreement. The student must undertake a research project for two semesters after completing 132 credit hours of the study plan.
