The Electrical Engineering department at KFUPM came into existence with the establishment of the University of Petroleum & Minerals in 1967. 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 19, 2026, the Electrical Engineering Department hosted an online workshop titled “LabVIEW Online Workshop,” delivered by Mr. Mohammad Al-Battat.
The workshop introduced participants to the fundamentals of graphical programming using LabVIEW and its virtual instruments (VIs). Through a series of practical demonstrations, attendees explored how to design functional applications, understand essential programming concepts, and apply these skills in engineering and research contexts. The session emphasized hands-on learning, enabling participants to gain real-world insights into building and automating systems using LabVIEW.
Mr. Al-Battat highlighted how visual programming can simplify complex engineering tasks, enhance productivity, and support innovation in academic and professional projects. The workshop also showcased how LabVIEW is widely used in automation, data acquisition, and system design across various engineering domains.
Participants left the workshop with a solid foundation in LabVIEW, along with practical knowledge that can support their academic studies and future projects in automation and system development.
