Program Description
The Production Engineering Technology (PET) Bachelor of Science program is offered by the
Mechanical Technology departments in the TVTC' affiliated Colleges of Technology. It is an applied
engineering technology program which is positioned to meet the growing national market's need for
qualified production engineering technologists. The program encompasses the junior and senior years of
the four-year training period required to receive the B.S. degree in PET. It succeeds another two-year
program leading to an associate degree in Production Technology.
The training curriculum for the PET program focuses on strengthening and extending the knowledge
and skills acquired in the associate degree program. It is carefully designed to provide its graduates with
solid knowledge and readily marketable skills which enable them to adapt to a wide variety of technical
careers and to assume managerial and leadership positions. Its core coursework comprises a range of
courses, including: Basics of Electricity and Electronics, Statics and Strength of Materials, Plastic
Technology, Engineering Materials, Control Technology, Operations Research, Production Planning and
Control, CIM, Non-conventional Machining, Industrial Maintenance, Lean Manufacturing, Facilities
Planning, Industrial Robotics an Automation, Tool Design, Machine Design, and a graduation project.
These courses are complemented with general courses necessary to enhance and broaden the trainee's
knowledge and proficiency in English, math, physics and management. The latter is given a considerable
weight in the PET program by incorporating five management related courses, including: Introduction to
Management and Leadership, Communication Skills, Engineering Project Management, Quality Tools and
Applications, and Engineering Economy. In addition to the mentioned subjects. Upon completion of the
PET program, trainees will have the ability to:
 Identify, analyze, formulate and solve manufacturing related problems by using current knowledge
and adapting to emerging applications of mathematics, science, and engineering.
 Apply the technologies of materials, manufacturing processes, tooling, automation, production
operations, maintenance, quality, industrial organization and management, and computer software
to the solutions of manufacturing problems.
 Conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and apply experimental results to improve processes.
 Perform effectively on multi-disciplinary teams by exercising leadership and contributing as a
member.
 Communicate effectively in written and oral formats to a variety of audiences.
 Engage in lifelong learning and professional development.
 Understand professional and ethical responsibilities.

The Theoretical and Practical Tests and Graduation Projects Determine Learning Outcomes and Trainee
Levels for each program.

The training courses contain a theoretical part and a practical part. The practical part is tested as a practical
test and the theoretical part is a theoretical test with different evaluation methods

The Bachelor Degree Graduate gets the seventh level in the Saudi Arabian Qualifications Framework
(SAQF).

Admission Requirements: The applicant must have a diploma Mechanical Production

Course description:
Once the forecast of sales is done in a manufacturing company, production managers start
planning for materials. This task is no small one and has very high impacts on the company’s
responsiveness to market demands, optimizing the utilization of production lines as well as the
total cost of production. This course offers a clear understanding of the relation between forecast
and planning, the value of scheduling and planning for production, the different inventory
management techniques as well as the tools and performance indicators used in these activities.
Topics:
 Introduction to Production Planning and Control.
 Framework of Production Planning and Control.
 Master Production Scheduling.
 Capacity Requirement Planning.
 Materials Requirement Planning.
 Inventory Control.
 Production Scheduling.
 Just In Time and Lean Manufacturing.
