he Electrical Engineering Department is continuously updating the curricula of all programs to keep pace with the national and international norms. In this regard, the Department is continuously Tupgrading education and research laboratories and class-rooms in order to keep pace with the latest technology advancements.

he department has maintained close working relation with public and private sector industries including government agencies, telecommunication companies, power generation and production Tcompanies, electronics companies, and automation & control companies. Students are provided various scientific trips to these companies through the electrical engineering club. Undergraduate students also choose one company to have two-month practical training as part of the curriculum. The department also provides many services to the society. Faculty members participate in consulting work related to technical aspects of electrical engineering, in addition to educating the public through newspaper and magazine articles about new technologies and possible dangers associated with their mal-use. Faculty members also provide short courses to enhance the skills of engineers and technicians in government and industrial partners.

hope that this message would attract prospective students to join our prestigious program. For current students, you should be proud that you will be an engineer with KSU degree in EE, and you should make all I possible efforts to enhance the experience you gain from the program. You will be a live demonstration of the professional engineer model that you learn here, when you develop innovative solutions to engineering problems, abide to ethics, preserve the environment and become an influential engineer in your workplace. The EE program will then be proud to provide the society with successful alumni like you.

Page | 40 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS & REGULATIONS

 Acceptance of students is done by merit when all the conditions are satisfied.  Transfer from Humanitarian colleges is not accepted. External Student Transfer  The student must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 4.25 out of 5.0 or its equivalent from an accredited college of engineering  The student must have a minimum score of 80% in mathematic courses studied in his college  The student must have successfully completed at least 30 credit hours of his college requirements after the preparatory year (The equivalence of the preparatory year completed by the student is done according to the University regulations. If the student did not study a preparatory year in his college, the University has the right to ask the student to study the KSU preparatory year for science colleges or whatever the University sees suitable after carrying out all the equivalences for the student) Once these conditions are satisfied the student is considered as a visiting student and is allowed to register at least 12 credit hours according to his study plan in his previous college and in coordination with the KSU college-of-engineering. The 12 credit hours should not include courses of Islamic culture and Arabic language. The student must also obtain a GPA in the semester of at least 4.5 out of 5.

Students Allocation to College Departments  During their first year at the college after the preparatory year, students must attend introductory orientation-presentations offered by the college departments so as to get acquainted with the nature of the different engineering disciplines.  After successfully passing 28 hours during the first year at the college, a student submits electronically a request to the Deanship of Admission & Registration, prioritizing his preference of the different disciplines.  Each department is given a number of students in accordance to its capacity and arrangement with the department and college..  The priority of acceptance for admission in a department is given to those applicants with the highest GPA.

Students Transfer from other Departments of the College  Students from another department of the college must have a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) higher than the lowest GPA admitted to the department. Page | 41

 A prescribed form must be filled-in by the student for final approval by the college students affairs unit  The priority of acceptance is given to the students with the higher grades, on the basis of available seats in each department.  Credit Transfer It is permissible for the students to transfer credits of courses studied in a reputable engineering college if the courses are equivalent to those offered by the college departments. Approval of the department is perquisite for the transfer acceptance. Transferred credits are not included in the GPA but a grade of at least C should be scored to pass courses.

Practical Training  A student is allowed to register for the practical training after successfully completes 110 hours, through the student portal (e- educate). No other courses are allowed for him during the practical training period.  Local companies are contacted by Vice Dean for academic affairs to enquire about the possibilities of training the department students and the number of students that can be accepted.  Replies from companies are kept in the electronic system of the college.  All available training opportunities are sent to the department, and announced by the department for students.  Student fill-in a form for the practical training and submit it to the department practical-training committee showing his choice of companies.  Vice Dean officially contacts the companies and secures the placement of students.  Student must get the training for the period is 10 weeks and submit weekly reports to the convener of the department committee for practical training.  Company reports a confidential assessment of the student performance to the department.  Department allocates the grade of the training as pass or fail based on the company evaluation and weekly reports.

APPENDIX – A: LABORATORIES

The following describes briefly the facilities used by students in their lab courses. Details about these labs and a list of major equipment are found in the department website at:

http://engineering.ksu.edu.sa/en/Labs_EE

Electrical Circuits Lab In this lab, the basic electrical laws and phenomena are demonstrated after being discussed in the electric circuit courses EE 201 and EE 202. This lab is well equipped with the latest equipments. At present, about 9 groups (two to three students each) can be arranged easily. After completing the semester, the students will be well familiarized with all types of circuit behaviors and characteristics both in AC and DC. This type of understanding will make it easy to them to work with other labs and in practice.

Electrical Measurements Lab This laboratory is a well equipped laboratory with instruments and equipment that are needed to familiarize the students with the use of electrical and electronic measurements and laboratory techniques. The undergraduate experiments are designed to reinforce and expand many concepts covered in the electrical instruments and measurements course EE 306. Within the laboratory, there is a shielded room that is suitable for RF measurements and calibration.
