“The Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful”
It gives me great pleasure to present the second and revised version of the Faculty Handbook of the College of Dentistry at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University (COD- IAU). The dedicated faculty and staff play a vital role keeping College at par with other dental education institutions in the Kingdom. It is therefore imperative to provide crisp information to the newly joining and even existing faculty at the College about University and College’s administrative structure, rules & regulations, systems & processes, departments and their functions and available facilities, resources and services. I would like to thank the team of the Vice Deanship for Studies, Development and Community Service and all those who undertook the arduous task for preparing a very informative “Faculty Handbook” for the Faculty of Dentistry. This handbook supersedes any earlier versions. Corrections or suggested clarifications are welcome and should be submitted in the Office of the Vice Deanship for Studies, Development and Community Service. I welcome our new faculty in the COD Family and encourage them to take benefit of getting firsthand information about College and get ready to contribute their best in education, research and service for accomplishing mission of the College.

124 - Quality and Academic Accreditation - CoD Quest for Quality Accreditation - Quality Evaluation Survey Quality and Academic Accreditation |
Accreditation is a peer review process by which educational institutions or programs may be granted recognition for compliance with accepted standards of quality and performance. Specialized accrediting agencies exist to assess and verify educational quality in particular professions or occupations to ensure that individuals will be qualified to enter those disciplines. National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA) is a national agency in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to execute this responsibility. All higher education institutions and programs in the Kingdom are required to be accredited by NCAAA. Different specialized higher education programs in the universities may also seek recognition and accreditation by program specific specialized national and international accreditation agencies.
Education Evaluation Commission-National Centre for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (EEC-NCAAA)
The Education Evaluation Commission-National Centre for Academic Accreditation and Assessment is an independent authority reporting directly to the Higher Council of Education, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It carries the responsibility for determining standards and criteria for academic accreditation and assessment and for accrediting post-secondary institutions and the programs they offer. The Commission is committed to a strategy of encouraging, supporting and evaluating the quality assurance processes of post-secondary institutions to ensure that quality of learning and management of institutions and individual programs they offer are equivalent to the highest international standards. These high standards and levels of achievement must be widely recognized both within the Kingdom and elsewhere in the world. The Commission has established required standards in eleven broad areas of activity, and has developed a National Qualifications Framework (NQF) that specifies generic standards of learning outcomes for each level of qualifications. It expects that institutions establish internal quality assurance systems that ensure high levels of quality in all of these eleven areas.
126 Objectives: • Establish standards for accreditation and quality assurance that are both consistent with international benchmarks and relevant to Saudi Arabian requirements. • Follow processes that are consistent with international good practice in accreditation and quality assurance in post-secondary education. • Provide assistance to institutions in evaluating their performance and planning for improvement, through consultations, training programs, publications, websites and other means; • Make accreditation decisions that are objective, fair, accurate, rigorous and constructive; • Develop databases of good practice and indicators of quality appropriate for all sectors of post-secondary education in Saudi Arabia; • Cooperate with other accreditation and quality assurance agencies, and strive to provide leadership in quality assurance and accreditation in the region.
EC-NCAAA has established 6 new standards for quality assurance of higher education programs in the Kingdom. These include: 1. Mission and Goals The program must have a clear and appropriate mission that is consistent with the mission statements of the institution and the college/department, and support its application. The mission must guide program planning and decision-making processes. The program goals and plans must be linked to it, and it must be periodically reviewed. 2. Program Management and Quality Assurance The program must have effective leadership that implements the institutional systems, policies and regulations. The program leadership must plan, implement, monitor, and activate a quality assurance systems that achieve continuous development of program performance in a framework of integrity, transparency, fairness and within a supportive organizational climate. 3. Learning and Teaching Graduate attributes and learning outcomes at the program level must be precisely defined, consistent with the requirements of the Saudi Arabia Qualifications Framework (SAQF) and with the related academic and professional standards, and the labor market requirements. The curriculum must conform to professional requirements. The teaching staff must implement diverse and effective teaching and learning strategies and assessment methods that are appropriate to the different learning outcomes. The extent of achievement of learning outcomes must be assessed through a variety of means and the results are used for continuous improvement.
127 3. Student The criteria and requirements for student admissions in the program must be clear and publicly disclosed, and must be applied fairly. The information about the program and the requirements for completion of the study must be available, and students must be informed about their rights and duties. The program must provide effective guidance and counseling services, and extracurricular and enriching activities to its students. The program must evaluate the quality of all services and activities offered to its students and improve them. The program must follow its graduates. 4. Teaching Staff The program must have sufficient numbers of qualified teaching staff with the necessary competence and experience to carry out their responsibilities. The teaching staff must be aware of current academic and professional developments in their fields of specialization, participate in research and community service, and in improving the program and institutional performance. Teaching staff performance must be evaluated according to specific criteria, and the results of these evaluations must be used for development. 5. Learning Resources, Facilities and Equipment Learning resources, facilities, and equipment must be adequate to meet the needs of the program and its courses; and must be available to all beneficiaries using an appropriate arrangement.

Overview of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabi Overview of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia |
Saudi Arabia, once a country of small cities and towns, has become increasingly urban; traditional centres such as Jeddah, Mecca, and Madina have grown into large cities, and the capital, Riyadh, a former oasis town, has grown into a modern metropolis. Most of the region’s traditional nomads, the Bedouin, have been settled in cities or agrarian communities. The country occupies about four-fifths of the Arabian Peninsula. It is bordered by Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait to the north; by the Persian Gulf, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman to the east; by a portion of Oman to the southeast; by Yemen to the south and southwest; and by the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba to the west. Long-running border disputes were nearly resolved with Yemen (2000) and Qatar (2001); the border with the United Arab Emirates remains undefined. A territory of 2,200 square miles (5,700 square km) along the gulf coast was shared by Kuwait and Saudi Arabia as a neutral zone until 1969, when a political boundary was agreed upon. Each of the two countries administers one-half of the territory, but they equally share oil production in the entire area. The Arabian Peninsula is dominated by a plateau that rises abruptly from the Red Sea and dips gently toward the Persian Gulf. In the north, the western highlands are upward of 5,000 feet (1,500 metres) above sea level, decreasing slightly to 4,000 feet (1,200 metres) in the vicinity of Medina and increasing southeastward to more than 10,000 feet (3,000 metres). Mount Sawdaa, which is situated near Abhaa in the south, is generally considered the highest point in the country. Estimates of its elevation range from 10,279 to 10,522 feet (3,133 to 3,207 metres). The watershed of the peninsula is only 25
139 miles (40 km) from the Red Sea in the north and recedes to 80 miles (130 km) near the Yemen border. The coastal plain, known as the Tihaamah, is virtually nonexistent in the north, except for occasional wadi deltas, but it widens slightly toward the south. The imposing escarpment that runs parallel to the Red Sea is somewhat interrupted by a gap northwest of Mecca but becomes more clearly continuous to the south. Toward the interior, the surface gradually descends into the broad plateau area of the Najd, which is covered with lava flows and volcanic debris as well as with occasional sand accumulations; it slopes down from an elevation of about 4,500 feet (1,370 metres) in the west to about 2,500 feet (760 metres) in the east. There the drainage is more clearly dendritic (i.e., branching) and is much more extensive than that flowing toward the Red Sea. To the east, this region is bounded by a series of long, low ridges, with steep slopes on the west and gentle slopes on the east; the area is 750 miles (1,200 km) long and curves eastward from north to south. The most prominent of the ridges are the Tuwayq Mountains (Jibal Tuwayq), which rise from the plateau at an elevation of some 2,800 feet (850 metres) above sea level and reach more than 3,500 feet (1,100 metres) southwest of Riyadh, overlooking the plateau’s surface to the west by 800 feet (250 metres) and more. The interior of the Arabian Peninsula contains extensive sand surfaces. Among them is the world’s largest sand area, the Ruba al-Khali (“Empty Quarter”), which dominates the southern part of the country and covers more than 250,000 square miles (647,500 square km). It slopes from above 2,600 feet (800 metres) near the border with Yemen northeastward down almost to sea level near the Persian Gulf; individual sand mountains reach elevations of 800 feet (250 metres), especially in the eastern part. A smaller sand area of about 22,000 square miles (57,000 square km), called Al-Nafad (nafad designating a sandy area or desert), is in the north-central part of the country. A great arc of sand, Al-Dahnaa, almost 900 miles (1,450 km) long but in places only 30 miles (50 km) wide, joins Al-Nafad with the Rubaal-Khali. Eastward, as the plateau surface slopes very gradually down to the gulf, there are numerous salt flats (sabkhahs) and marshes. The gulf coastline is irregular, and the coastal waters are very shallow. There are virtually no permanent surface streams in the country, but wadis are numerous. Those leading to the Red Sea are short and steep, though one unusually long extension is made by Wadi Al-hamd, which rises near Medina and flows inland to the northwest for 100 miles (160 km) before turning westward; those draining eastward are longer and more developed except in Al-Nafad and the Ruba al-Khali. Soils are poorly developed. Large areas are covered with pebbles of varying sizes. Alluvial deposits are found in wadis, basins, and oases. Salt flats are especially common in the east.
140 Kingdom National Day The Saudi National Day is 23rd September. For Saudis and, indeed, for others in the region, the Saudi National Day celebration is one of the most important events of the 20th century, the founding day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Currency The Kingdom’s currency is the Saudi Riyal, which equals 100 Halalah. The Saudi Riyal comes in different categories of bank notes (1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500). The metal coins, however, come in five categories (1Riyal, 50 Halalah, 25 Halalah, 10 Halalah and 5 Halalah). 1 US Dollar is currently the equivalent of 3.75 Saudi Riyals. The Kingdom’s financial laws permit foreign currency exchange as well as the unlimited transfer of profits from investments.
Calendar Kingdom of Saudi Arabia uses the Islamic Hijrah calendar, in reference to the migration, i.e. Hijrah, of Prophet Muhammad PPBUH and his companions from Makkah to Madinah on Monday the 1st of Rabi Al-Awal, corresponding to 13 September 622 AD. The Hijrah year has 12 lunar months and consists of 354 days.
Working Hours and Vacations • Government Office work from 7:30 AM until 2:30 PM every day except Fridays and Saturdays (weekend vacation) • Private companies and establishments as well as banks often have two working periods as they remain open until 4:30 PM except Friday (the only day-off for such companies) • Markets and shopping malls are open for business throughout the week. During Ramadan the work day has two periods, the morning from 10:00 until 3:30 and the evening from 9:00 to 12:00 midnight or longer. Friday is a day off but many shops do open in the evenings. Shops close their shutters for prayers for half an hour.
Public Holidays There are three recognized public holidays in the kingdom besides two weekend days, i.e. Friday and Saturday • 1st of Shawwal (Eid ul-Fitr) which marks the Feast of the End of Ramadan • 9th – 13th of Dhul-Hijjah (Eid ul-Adha) which marks the Feast of the End of Hajj • 23rd of September which is the National Day (Unification of the Kingdom)
141 Culture The culture of Saudi Arabia is a rich one that has been shaped by its Islamic heritage, its historical role as an ancient trade center, and its Bedouin traditions. Saudi society has experienced tremendous development over the past several decades. The Saudi people have taken their values and traditions – their customs, hospitality and even their style of dress – and adapted them to the modern world.
Arab and Islamic Traditions Saudi traditions are rooted in Islamic teachings and Arab customs, which Saudis learn about at an early age from their families and in schools. The highlights of the year are the holy month of Ramadan and the Hajj (pilgrimage) season, and the national holidays that follow them. The holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, culminates with the Eid-Al-Fitr holiday, in which it is customary to buy presents and clothes for children and visit friends and relatives. The other highlight is the Hajj season, during which millions of Muslim pilgrims from around the world come to Makkah. The Hajj season concludes with the Eid Al-Adha holiday, in which it is traditional for families to slaughter a sheep in memory of Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son. Arab traditions also play an important role in Saudi life. These age-old include generosity and hospitality, which every Saudi family offers to strangers, friends, and family. The simplest expression of hospitality is coffee – its preparation alone is an intricate cultural tradition, and it is often served in small cups along with dates and sweets. Another gesture of hospitality is the burning of incense (oud) to welcome guests.
142 Climate: There are three climatic zones in the kingdom: (1) desert almost everywhere, (2) steppe along the western highlands, forming a strip less than 100 miles (160 km) wide in the north but becoming almost 300 miles (480 km) wide at the latitude of Mecca, and (3) a small area of humid and mild temperature conditions, with long summers, in the highlands just north of Yemen. In winter, cyclonic weather systems generally skirt north of the Arabian Peninsula, moving eastward from the Mediterranean Sea, though sometimes they reach eastern and central Arabia and the Persian Gulf. Some weather systems move southward along the Red Sea trough and provide winter precipitation as far south as Mecca and sometimes as far as Yemen. In March and April, some precipitation, normally torrential, falls. In summer, the highlands of Asir, southeast of Mecca, receive enough precipitation from the monsoonal winds to support a steppelike strip of land. Winters, from December to February, are cool, and frost and snow may occur in the southern highlands. Average temperatures for the coolest months, December through February, are 74 °F (23 °C) at Jiddah, 58 °F (14 °C) at Riyadh, and 63 °F (17 °C) at Al-Dammam. Summers, from June to August, are hot, with daytime temperatures in the shade exceeding 100 °F (38 °C) in almost all of the country. Temperatures in the desert frequently rise as high as 130 °F (55 °C) in the summer. Humidity is low, except along the coasts, where it can be high and very oppressive. The level of precipitation is also low throughout the country, amounting to about 2.5 inches (65 mm) at Jiddah, a little more than 3 inches (75 mm) at Riyadh, and 3 inches at Al-Dammam. These figures, however, represent mean annual precipitation, and large variations are normal. In the highlands of Asir, more than 19 inches (480 mm) a year may be received, falling mostly between May and October when the summer monsoon winds prevail. In the Ruba al-Khali, a decade may pass with no precipitation at all.
Overview of Dammam Dammam is about 400 km away from capital of the Kingdom i.e. Riyadh. It is the capital of the Eastern region, a very important port and now a major commercial center. Historians believe that Dammam was initially called DAMDAMA, which means the sound of drums that announce the beginning or the end of the hunting season. Dammam is the largest town in the eastern region; it has expanded to the city limits of two other modern towns, Al-Khobar and Dhahran. Near Dammam are located the most important centers in the world for the production and refining of petroleum. The population of Dammam is greater than a million. 143 King Fahd International Airport King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) (IATA: DMM, ICAO: OEDF) located 20 kilometers (12 mi) northwest of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. It is located between Jubail and Dammam, about 25 km (16 mi) away from Dammam and is linked to populated areas by two major roads. The northern exit links the airport with Jubail as a 4-lane highway. The southern exit links the Airport with Dammam as a 6-lane highway to King Fahd Road which is now considered as the main road to the airport. King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) opened for operations in October 1999 and is currently the third largest international airport in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in terms of passenger volume. Located in the Eastern Province, it serves as the gateway to a region with a population of over 4 million people. In line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and the National Transformation Program, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam was corporatized in July 2017 and transformed into the Dammam Airports Company (DACO). The inauguration of DACO is part of the prospective vision towards the development of the national airports industry, starting with King Fahd International Airport. DACO also aspires to extend its services to other local and international airports in the future. It seeks to develop the infrastructure, and operate, upgrade and maintain airfield facilities. DACO also plans to control commercial and investment relations, operate air freights and raise the operational capacity and efficiency of airports. This is set to enable airports to keep pace with the global air industry, provide a world-class travel experience for passengers, and allow for investment in the next generations of young Saudis.

Half-Moon Bay (South of Khobar) Half Moon Bay, is located near Khobar city in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.
Half Moon Bay has been a place of recreation for many people, including oil workers and their families, for the last 80 years. Known for its great grouper fishing and sailing, many generations have enjoyed it. With an average depth of around 22 feet (with a few spots dropping to 50 feet) Half Moon Bay has been an excellent classroom for thousands of divers learning the sport of scuba diving. It is a very forgiving bay, with shallow entrances and very few large sharks. However, around 1968 a 30-foot whale wandered in to the enjoyment of many of the locals.
156 Al Khobar Corniche The Al Khobar corniche meanders along the Arabian Gulf, with expansive views across the glistening waters. Its wealth of family attractions, pristine parks and tranquil places of worship make this waterfront walkway an especially vibrant part of a bustling and diverse city. The corniche district begins to the north of the King Fahd Causeway at the start of Corniche Road: a wide, sun-soaked avenue that runs along the coast for a few miles. Stroll along the palm tree-lined walkway and you’ll catch sight of the seafront Al Hariri mosque. The mosque’s ornate, white structure looks stunning against the crystal-clear sunlit gulf during the day, and at night the magnificent arches are illuminated by floodlights. Out to sea, the three-storey Khobar water tower is one of the most iconic landmarks of the corniche skyline. With a restaurant at the top where diners can enjoy unparalleled views of the city and a host of new attractions being developed around the site, this futuristic tower is well on the way to becoming one of the prime jewels in Al Khobar’s crown. Parks are the main hallmark of the corniche district, making the area especially attractive to joggers and cyclists. In the daytime, you’ll find families soaking up the sunshine in the pretty landscaped gardens of North Corniche Park, while the evening draws crowds to the seafront.
157 Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz Center for Science and Technology (SciTech) The Center was constructed on a 21,700 square meters land. The land is located on the North Corniche Road in Al-Khobar. And it is very attractive for tourists in the eastern province which is helping to publicize the center and attract visitors. The site at the eastern side of the Arabian gulf with its fascinating view had inspired the architectural concept of the project.
Scitech Technology Center is a fun, interactive space where kids can learn about science. The museum has extensive exhibits on wildlife, space and technical innovations, as well as an impressive observatory where lectures and seminars are held. Spend the afternoon indulging your curiosity, then head to Scitech’s IMAX Dome to catch a documentary or film on the big screen.
158 Dammam Corniche The Dammam Corniche is undoubtedly the city's top attraction, famous throughout Saudi Arabia. Day-trippers from nearby cities Alkhobar, Dhahran and Jubail often descend on the Corniche, and it's a favorite spot for expats and western visitors too. Feeling the cool sea breeze on your face is a blessing, especially during summer when temperatures can soar to above 40°C. It's common to see crowds of people out and about on the promenade, enjoying an evening walk or simply watching the seagulls dive into the blue waters of the Persian Gulf. Buzzing cafes, manicured gardens, carnival rides and a wonderfully chilled-out atmosphere combined to make the Corniche the perfect spot to spend your down time in Dammam. Take a cruise around Marjan Island, watch the sunset over the waters of the Persian Gulf as you sip thick Arabic coffee on a restaurant terrace, pop your trainers on and enjoy an invigorating early morning run along the promenade, or simply flop down on the grass and enjoy a barbecue of fresh-caught fish with the locals. Just settle in with your fishing rod and see what you land; the best times to catch fish off this stunning coastline are at sunrise and sunset. While you’re out on the promenade, look out for the modern art installations dotted alongside the path. The sculptures are designed by local artists and are inspired by Saudi Arabia’s love of art. You can find them all along the boardwalk, from Aziziah Beach to Tarout Island. In 2014, extra effort was put into turning the area into an “outdoor art gallery”, with a campaign to cover unsightly service stations and water tanks with paintings inspired by the local environment and culture. Whether you’re visiting the city for business or for pleasure, you’ll find plenty of reasons to spend your evening at the Corniche.
