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
