Overview
The Electrical Engineering (EE) program is designed to address key economic, cultural, and national development priorities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Economically, it responds to the growing demand for qualified electrical engineers essential for national growth, particularly in building solar power plants and enhancing the generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. It also addresses the need for skilled professionals in communication companies and power plants, especially in the Jouf region. Culturally, the program provides opportunities for the increasing number of secondary school graduates in Sakaka and nearby cities to pursue careers in electrical engineering and contribute to the nation's progress. Aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, the program aims to produce highly qualified engineers equipped to fulfill the Kingdom's ambitious development plans.
