It is one of the largest departments in the University with an average number of students being approximately 900, 16% of whom are in the graduate program. The department provides 2 four-year undergraduate programs, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and Physics. The graduate program offers Master of Science and Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering, Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering, Master of Sustainable and Renewable Energy, Master of Wireless Communication Networks, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering.
The department has about 61 full-time faculty members in 6 specialized areas of research. The Groups in the department are: Energy Systems, Communications, Electronics, Control Systems, Electromagnetics, and Digital Signal Processing. Additionally, a pool of experienced engineers and technicians maintain more than 30 laboratories in the department.
To be globally known for skillful graduates and quality research with focus on national needs.
On April 29, 2025, students from KFUPM School had the remarkable opportunity to visit the Electrical Engineering (EE) Department at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM).
The visit was hosted by Mr. Ammar Muqbel, who warmly welcomed the students and guided them on an engaging and informative tour. He introduced them to the department’s state-of-the-art facilities and provided valuable insights into the dynamic and ever-evolving field of electrical engineering.
During the visit, the students also had the privilege of meeting the Department Chairman, who shared an inspiring message about the role of electrical engineers in driving innovation and shaping the future. The interaction gave the students a clearer picture of the diverse academic programs and research opportunities offered within the department.
The event concluded with an open discussion session, where students asked questions and expressed their enthusiasm for pursuing careers in engineering. The visit not only strengthened the connection between KFUPM and its school community but also inspired the next generation of engineers to explore the exciting possibilities within the field of electrical engineering.
Below are the key highlights of the visit:
