1- ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

1. INTRODUCTION The resolution of the Council for Higher Education No.14/35/1426 and date 18/1/1426 H was issued

to establish the Faculty of Engineering, Taif University, to include Mechanical Engineering and

Electrical Engineering departments. The University Council at its second meeting , held on

23/3/1429 H decided to establish civil engineering department, and such decision was ratified by H.

E. Acting Minister of Higher Education according to the letter No. 579 / A and date 14/4/1429 H

.The study in the Faculty began in the first semester of 1428/1429 H and the number of students

enrolled in the preparatory year was (69) students. During the first semester of 1429/1430 H

students attended mechanical engineering and electrical engineering departments, and the number of

new preparatory year students was (106) students. Therefore, the Faculty of Engineering is

considered as one of the modern Faculties and is still under construction and commissioning.

The Faculty of Engineering prepares specialized cadres in different fields of engineering required by

the Kingdom . This is satisfied by establishment of programs and developed curriculum to keep

pace with global developments. In addition it pays attention to scientific research and exchange of

experiences and scientific advisory service to the issues of development. Also, the Faculty of

engineering works on closer scientific relationship with Faculties of engineering in the Kingdom of

Saudi Arabia and foreign countries. .

• VSION The Department of Electrical Engineering hopes to cover all aspects of modern electrical systems as

well as put theoretical instruction to practice. The Department seriously seeks to take a pioneering

role in the teaching of all aspects of electrical engineering, scientific research, and social service.

• MISSION

The mission of the Electrical Engineering Department is to support both educational and research

programs in a complementary approach that responds to the pressing needs of society and the

rapidly changing technology in the electrical engineering field. We strive to provide the needed

human capital and to upgrade the existing work force within Electrical Engineering Program

equipped with high quality skills and to conduct applied research studies and provide professional

training program and services to local and national industry and other social constituencies.

Submission:

The mission of the Electrical Engineering Department can be summarized as:

1. Support both educational and research programs.

2. Provide the needed human capital and to upgrade the existing work force with electrical

engineering programs with high quality skills.

3. Applied research studies and provide training professional training programs and services to local

and national industries, and other social constituencies.

• PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

1- Perform/Practice working in projects with various roles (designing, conducting

experiments and simulation, interpreting analysis of electrical Engineering

applications and conducting academic as well as applied research).

2- Advance in professional practice.

3- Enhance their skills through enrolling in graduate studies, attending workshops or

becoming a member in one of the professional societies.

2. GENERAL STUDY PROGRAM OF THE DEPARTMENT

• Levels one and two The Preparatory Year is the first educational year in the Faculty of Engineering. The aim of the Preparatory Year is

to prepare the new accepted student to study in the Faculty of Engineering. That preparation is to be accomplished

throughout developing and increasing student’s previous knowledge of Mathematics, and natural sciences. It also

aims at developing his language skills, especially English language, and introducing him to the concepts and

methods of Engineering Drawings. That preparation will constitute the necessarily foot base for studying in the

different Faculty departments.

The Preparatory Year Program consists of one academic year that comprises of two semesters. However, the

Preparatory Year represents level one, and two for all scientific departments in the Faculty of engineering.

• Levels three and four In the second year, the students must increase the skills in Physics and Mathematics to be able to understand the

subjects in his college branches and the students must excess in the college requirement subjects.

• Levels five to ten From the level five to ten, the students study in the electrical department.
