Electrical Engineering Program Handbook
1. Introduction The objective of the handbook is to provide students wishing to enroll Electrical Engineering Program
(EEP) with preliminary overview on the program. Next versions of the handbook will be developed towards
a complete advising handbook where all relevant information from admission to the college of engineering
until being graduated from the EEP. At present, student admission, transfer and other policies are
developed in separate documents available with the advisor and at the department administration.
2. Program Overview
The EEP was initiated since the first establishment of Northern Border University (NBU) in 2007. The NBU is
located in Arar, the main city of Northern Border Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. EEP is one of the
five Programs of the College of Engineering, which are Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Initially, all the five Programs were
overseen by the Faculty of Engineering of King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah. The Department has well
equipped laboratories and computer facilities as well as highly qualified faculty and technicians to achieve
its educational aims and objectives. The teaching staff consists of Professor, Associate Professors, Assistant
Professors, Lecturers and Laboratory Technician. The first group enrolled with this Program, was graduated
in spring 2013. Graduates received the Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE). The
Program provides traditional lecture/laboratory sessions in only one location at the main campus in the
College of Engineering buildings. All classes are provided during the day. There are no weekend classes,
distance learning or web based education. Classes run from Sunday to Thursday.

2.1 Vision The vision of the EEP is to be the leader in Electrical Engineering education through a superior Electric
Power sub-track that will provide opportunity for scientific research and community service that meet
international standards.
2.2 Mission The mission of the EEP is to provide high-level studies allowing students to be highly skilled in engineering
and scientific research to serve society with ethics and integrity through the practice of Engineering. EEP
provides the tools, skills and competencies necessary to understand and apply advanced technologies and
become leaders in developing and organizing future technologies.
2.3 Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) The educational objectives of the EEP are:
PEO#1 Apply engineering principals and professional skills to reach career goals as well as employers’
expectations.
PEO#2 Engage in life-long professional development and continuously improve their skills to track the fast advances
in technology.
PEO#3 Practice their jobs adhering to national and international standards regarding issues including health,
safety, prosperity of the society, and the preservation of the environment.
2.4 Student Outcomes (SOs) The EEP has adopted the ABET outcomes (a) to (k). Consequently, students who successfully complete the
EEP should be able to demonstrate the following student outcomes:
a. an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering

b. an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
c. an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
sustainability
d. an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams
e. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
f. an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
g. an ability to communicate effectively
h. the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic,
environmental, and societal context
i. a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
j. knowledge of contemporary issues
k. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering
practice.
3. Academic and Career Advising 3.1 Academic Advising For every student, a faculty member approved by the EE Department Council is assigned as an Academic
Advisor to provide curricular guidance and ensure that the student meets all the requirements of the
University, College, and EEP and graduate on time.
The Academic Advisor continuously monitors the student's academic performance and progress and
provides adequate counseling on all academic matters including:

3.2 Career Opportunities The EEP aims to produce high-caliber engineers in different electrical engineering fields and qualify them
for work in governmental, military, and industrial institutions in Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arabian
Gulf area. The curriculum offered by the program is quite efficient as to be considered comparable to
international engineering education standards. It is very difficult to make an exhaustive survey of the career
opportunities available to the program graduates. A few representative examples of these opportunities are
outlined below. Currently, graduates of the EEP work in
Electric power generation stations.
Transmission lines and substations for high and medium voltage.
Load dispatch centers.
Industrial complexes those are heavily dependent on electric power utilization.
Safe and effective distribution and consumption of electric power in residential areas and in factories.
Energy resource management and programs for energy conservation.
Computer-aided design and manufacturing systems
3.3 Research Opportunities For students seeking to pursue graduate studies, the Academic Advisor may recommend a program, a
graduate school for his student to enroll in Saudi or in foreign universities in a respective field. As a matter
of fact, many EEP graduates have enrolled a graduate program. Within few years, they are expected to
come back and join the academic team of the program.
