EE Program Mission:
The Mission statement of the Electrical Engineering Program is:
To prepare electrical engineering graduates that compete in the labor market, sustain self-learning and professional development, and contribute to scientific research and community service.
EE Program Objectives (EE-POs)
The Electrical Engineering Program at NBU expects the graduates within a few years after graduation to achieve the following objectives:
PO1. Serve competently in the professional career and academia by demonstrating high-quality knowledge and skills in the Electrical Engineering field.
PO2. Display self-learning, research, and critical thinking capability and take initiative in advancing their education and professional standing.
PO3. Function as a team member with the capability for leadership and effective communication.
PO4. Exhibit commitment to social responsibilities, ethical values, and meaningful community contributions.
Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) - ِNCAAA
K1 - Demonstrate a coherent and broad body of knowledge in basic sciences, mathematics, and concepts in the electrical engineering discipline..
S1 - identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying engineering, science, and mathematics principles.
S2 - 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.
S3 - Develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to conclude.
S4 - Communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
V1 - 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.
V2 - Function effectively on a team whose members provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
V3 - Acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

Career opportunities:
The Electrical Engineering Program aims to produce high-caliber engineers in different electrical engineering fields and qualify them for work in governmental, military, and industrial institutions in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arabian Gulf area. The curriculum offered by the program is quite efficient as to be considered comparable to international engineering education standards. It is tough to make an exhaustive survey of the career opportunities available to the program graduates. A few representative examples of these opportunities are outlined below. Currently, graduates of the Electrical Engineering Program work in the following:
- Electric power generation stations.
- Transmission lines and substations for high and medium voltage.
- Load dispatch centers.
- Industrial complexes that are heavily dependent on electric power utilization.
- Safe and effective electric power distribution and consumption in residential areas and factories.
- Energy resource management and programs for energy conservation.
- Computer-aided design and manufacturing systems
