Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering

Description:

Established in 2004, the Mechanical Engineering program at Qassim University offers a comprehensive bachelor's degree aimed at preparing students for professional careers in a wide range of engineering fields. The program has received international accreditation from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for three consecutive cycles 2022-2028, and national accreditation from the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA), confirming its compliance with quality standards in higher education in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The program requires the completion of 139 credit hours specific to the Mechanical Engineering program, spread over eight semesters. In addition, the student must complete a preparatory year program consisting of 34 credits, 21 of which count towards the student's GPA. After completing the preparatory year, students begin taking general engineering courses in the first semester, and then move on to specialized courses in mechanical engineering over the remaining seven semesters. The program's curriculum focuses on providing students with theoretical and practical knowledge in the core areas of mechanical engineering, which include: - Materials Science and Manufacturing - Mechanical Design - Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Fluids - Dynamics, Control Systems, and Measurements This integrated approach ensures that graduates are prepared to work efficiently in various industrial, research, and development sectors.
