Scientific degree
The College of Engineering in Al-Kharj - Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University grants a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering after completing (166) credit hours distributed according to the study plan. The student must also finish the summer training for a period of eight weeks for those who completed 112 credit hours according to the study plan before obtaining the degree, provided that the training takes place with an entity recognized by the college. The student must undertake a two-semester research project in the final year of his studies
Vision
To be one of the distinguished mechanical engineering departments in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Mission
To graduate qualified mechanical engineers equipped with knowledge, modern technical tools, and inspired with ethical and professional values that will prepare them to be successful in a mechanical engineering career and motivate them for post graduate studies so they can significantly contribute to the development of their community.
Program Educational Objectives (PEOs):
The PEOs describe the expected accomplishments of graduates of the ME program few years after graduation. They are:
PE0#1: Practice mechanical engineering in the general areas in industry and government.
PE0#2: Pursue leadership positions in their career.
PE0#3: Achieve membership in national and international professional organizations.
PE0#4: Seek post-graduate education, new knowledge, and advanced technology in mechanical engineering
Student Outcomes (SOs):
The ABET Student Outcomes (1) through (7) criteria which encompass the knowledge, skills, and capabilities that the Electrical Engineering Program expects students to have attained by the time of their graduation are:
| SO#1 |
an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics. |
| SO#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. |
| SO#3 |
an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. |
| SO#4 |
an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts. |
| SO#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. |
| SO#6 |
an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions. |
| SO#7 |
an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies. |
