With these goals and objectives, the Bachelor of Science in Energy Engineering program aims to graduate highly qualified professionals who can innovate, develop, and contribute to a sustainable energy future both locally and globally.
The program at Taibah University’s College of Engineering stands out with its integrated approach, combining theoretical knowledge with practical application across four key areas:
Technical Aspect: The program focuses on equipping students with the necessary knowledge in the production of both conventional and non-conventional energy sources.
Economic Aspect: The program provides students with the economic knowledge needed to evaluate energy project costs, analyze return on investment, and understand energy markets both locally and globally.
Legislative Aspect: The program includes the study of laws and policies related to energy, such as environmental regulations, alternative energy markets, and energy efficiency standards.
Environmental Impact: The program emphasizes sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of energy systems through the study of carbon emission reduction technologies, environmental impact assessment of energy projects, and promoting solutions that contribute to sustainable development.
Yes, graduates can pursue higher education in fields related to engineering, energy, management, and modern technologies at both local and international universities.
The program lasts for five years, and there is no preparatory year. The courses are offered on a credit-hour system, totaling 164 credit hours.
Students gain a solid foundation in various engineering fields related to energy systems through a comprehensive mix of theoretical and practical courses in mathematics, science, and engineering. Key courses include:
Conventional and non-conventional energy systems
Design of solar and wind energy systems
Energy efficiency
Energy market laws and policies
Thermodynamics and heat transfer
Electrical machines and power system analysis
Energy storage technologies
Yes, the program includes laboratory experiments, applied simulation projects, and a mandatory cooperative training period in energy-related companies or research centers. This helps students apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings and gain skills in designing, operating, and analyzing energy systems efficiently.
Graduates of the Energy Engineering program can work in a wide range of sectors, including:
Power generation, transmission, and distribution companies (e.g., Saudi Electricity Company).
Renewable energy companies (solar, wind, and other renewable energy projects).
Oil, gas, and petrochemical companies.
Consulting firms in energy efficiency and energy audits.
Research and development centers specializing in clean energy technologies.
Government entities involved in energy planning and sustainability.
Energy Engineering is one of the promising fields that aligns with Saudi Arabia's transition to modern technologies and sustainable energy solutions.
The program plays a crucial role in supporting Vision 2030 by preparing engineers capable of leading the transformation in the energy sector and developing sustainable engineering solutions. Graduates contribute to enhancing energy security, efficiency, and sustainability, helping position the Kingdom as a global leader in renewable energy and innovation.
Currently, applications are processed through the national unified admissions platform, which is managed by the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia. You can also contact the Deanship of Admission and Registration at Taibah University for detailed procedures on admissions and updates.
The required GPA for transfer is determined based on the program's capacity, in coordination with the department, college, and the Deanship of Admission and Registration.
