Mechanical Engineering (ME)

Established in 1387 H (1966 C.E.), the Mechanical Engineering Department is one of the oldest Departments at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals. The department started with two undergraduate students and currently accommodates approximately 900.

It has a long record of innovation and achievement in both undergraduate and graduate teaching and research. It prepares young men to become mechanical engineers whose role is to meet the growing technical requirements of various industries in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The undergraduate program, which is normally revised every five years, keeps track of the rapid development in science and technology and was recently accredited by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET). The department has two established graduate programs leading to the Master of Science (M.S.) and the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degrees in Mechanical Engineering. The faculty members conduct state-of-the-art research in order to enrich the literature in many areas such as thermo-fluid sciences, applied materials, and engineering mechanics.
