Overview •

The College of Engineering was established in 2018. It was founded to be the first female college of its type in a public university in Riyadh. The college commenced its academic activities by accepting 75 students across three academic programs: Bachelor of Industrial and System Engineering, Bachelor of Electrical Engineering – Electronics Engineering, and Bachelor of Electrical Engineering- Communications Engineering. Today, following five years since its establishment, the student enrollment has increased to 1007, and the academic offerings have broadened to encompass a Biomedical Engineering program and a Renewable Energy Engineering program. As a result, the college has become the largest engineering college for female education in the Kingdom and the first to offer the program of Renewable Energy Engineering. Moreover, the college is equipped with 21 well-appointed laboratories featuring the latest engineering education technologies. These facilities stand out with devices rarely seen elsewhere in the Kingdom. This infrastructure supports students in hands-on practical applications, offering them an ideal setting for research, innovation, and project accomplishment.

Dean’s Message •

Since its establishment in 1439 AH (2017/2018 AD), the College of Engineering has been committed to developing the Kingdom's human capital by preparing an elite group of ambitious Saudi female engineers to participate in building this precious nation, within the framework of a promising strategic plan that integrates with the Kingdom's comprehensive vision for modernization and development.

The College of Engineering consists of three departments overseeing five bachelor's degree programs:

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering.
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Renewable Energy Engineering.
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Communications Engineering.
Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering.
Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering.

Two graduate programs will be launched soon: Master's in Supply Chain Management and Master's in Robotics Science.

In addition to educational programs, the College of Engineering is keen on connecting its students to the job market through its distinguished partnerships and field training programs, as well as qualifying students to obtain international professional certificates, supporting the empowerment of Saudi women in engineering sectors.

Engineering also plays an active role in raising the efficiency and quality of learning by developing academic programs in line with current and future job market requirements, and through the quality of research published in prestigious international journals. This has contributed to many of our members receiving local and international awards and qualifying them to provide engineering consultations to various sectors.

In conclusion, I am honored to be part of this distinguished system at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University. I wish success to all college members, including students and faculty and administrative staff, in achieving the desired goals and building an ambitious generation of skilled female engineers.
