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.

The Electrical Engineering Department, in collaboration with the EE Club at KFUPM, organized the EE311 Competition on 11 December 2025.
The competition was conducted through student projects, giving EE311 students an opportunity to apply course concepts in a practical, hands-on way. Teams presented their project work and demonstrated strong engineering design, problem-solving, and technical communication skills, while fostering collaboration and creativity.
We thank all participating students for their outstanding effort, and we extend our appreciation to the faculty members, judges, and organizers from the EE Department and the EE Club for making the event a success.
Below are the key highlights of the visit:
