The program leading to the degree of Master of Engineering (MEG) in EE provides an opportunity for students to pursue advanced studies in a particular field of major interest. The MEG program is designed for students who want to pursue their electrical engineering education beyond the undergraduate level but are looking for an alternative to a thesis-based research program. The MEG program consists of a total of 33 credit hours of course work including the completion of a supervised project. Students are free to choose from a number of EE & Non-EE courses to complete the program. A student in the MEG program must specialize in a certain area of concentration by taking a minimum of 9 credit hours from that area. Also, he must take a minimum of 6 credit hours from different areas of concentration. Areas include Power/Energy Systems, Control Systems, Communications, Signal Processing, Electromagnetics, Electronics, and Digital Systems.
Admission Requirements:
Applicants to the MEG program in EE must hold a B.S degree in electrical engineering or related fields from an accredited university, with a GPA not less than 2.5 / 4.00 or equivalent, in addition to the general requirements set by the Deanship of Graduate Studies at KFUPM.
The program consists of 33 credit hours satisfying the following requirements:
The condition of letter-grade courses excludes the counting of PASS/FAIL courses towards the minimum requirements in any of the categories. Technical non-EE courses must be taken from the following colleges: College of Engineering Sciences & Applied Engineering, College of Sciences, College of Computer Science & Engineering, and College of Petroleum Engineering & Geosciences. Exceptions require the approval of the EE department. This program is open only for non-scholarship students. Students on scholarship from KFUPM are not allowed to enroll in this program.
