History:The Faculty of Engineering was established in 1975 and was comprised of six departments: Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Nuclear Engineering and Mining Engineering. In 1982 Chemical Engineering was introduced and the Mechanical Engineering Department was split into Aeronautical Engineering, Thermal Engineering and Desalination Technology and Production Engineering and Mechanical System Design.

Vision:Innovation and leadership in engineering sciences and their applications.

Mission:To educate, train and produce highly qualified engineering personnel and to conduct world-class scientific research and studies which collectively allow for a sustainable development of the society through technology transfer and knowledge dissemination.

Unique Features:• The Faculty of Engineering represents a unique academic achievement since it is the first faculty in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to successfully obtain academic accreditation for all of its 12 programs and specializations from the American Accredita-tion Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET).• The Faculty is credited with being the only institution in Saudi Arabia that offers specializations in Aeronautical Engineering, Nuclear Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. • The Faculty has established a number of scientific associations such as the Saudi Association of Civil Engineering, the Industrial Engineering Association, The Saudi Society of Aeronautics and Space Sciences, and the Saudi Scientific Association of Biomedical Engineering.
