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 February 12, 2026, the Electrical Engineering Department at King Fahd University for Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) hosted an LTspice online workshop delivered by Mr. Ahmed Salem.
During the workshop, Mr. Salem introduced participants to the fundamentals of LTspice for circuit simulation. He explained how to draw schematics, run simulations, and read waveforms, helping attendees build a solid starting point for using LTspice in practical engineering tasks.
He also shared practical tips on selecting models, sweeping parameters, and exporting simulation data. The session emphasized how these skills can support quick prototyping and the verification of simple analog circuits.
