Career Opportunities VISION

The EE-Program prepares students to operate

in a wide selection of job areas. Some of the
areas of career opportunities are:
Electric power generation sector.
- Transmission systems and substations for
high and medium voltage.
- Load dispatch centers.
- Electrical complexes that are heavily
dependent on electric power utilization.
- Safe and effective distribution and
consumption of electric power in residential
areas and in factories.
- Energy resource management, and
programs for energy conservation.
To be the leader in Electrical Engineering
education through a superior Electric Power
sub-track that will provide opportunity for College of Engineering
scientific research and community service to
meet international standards.
Electrical Engineering
Program
Mission
N
To provide high-level studies allowing to
students to be highly skilled in engineering
and scientific research domains, and to
serve the society within ethical and integrity
through the practice of Engineering.

Department
Northern Border University (NBU) was established
in 2007. NBU was overseen by the much more
established King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) in
Jeddah which ran the new university's day to day
operations, including supplying the faculty,
administration, institutional know-how and
curriculum. Consequently, all Departments of the
College of Engineering, including Electrical
Engineering Department, applied the KAU system
until 2011 when NBU had gained enough
experience and expertise to assume complete
control of administration.
EE Graduates can hold positions in many
different types of sectors, such as:
Industry: Petroleum industry Chemical
industry, Mining industry, automotive
Department Head of Electrical Engineering,
industry, Paper industry, etc.
Services: All ministries, Hospitals,
Consulting, Maintenance and operating
institutions, Training, etc.
Defense: Army, Aviation, Marine, etc.

 Facilities of Electrical
engineering Dept.
The Department of Electrical Engineering has
already established 11-labs that support its
educational and research activities. In addition to
specialized equipment, all the labs are equipped
with basic utilities such as DC and AC power
mains, voltage regulators, function generators,
oscilloscopes, analog and digital multi meters for
measuring the basic quantities (voltage, current,
and resistance). Labs also have a number of
integrated personal computer systems to run
educational software. Every student has a good
chance to have a hands-on experience and practice
experimental work as the number of students per
experimental station ranges from two to four only.
These labs are:
1. Power System Laboratory
2. Electrical Machine Laboratory
3. Power Electronics Laboratory
4. Electrical and Electronics Measurements
Laboratory
5. Basic Electrical Engineering Laboratory
6. Electronics Laboratory
7. Computers Sciences Laboratory
8. Communications Laboratory
9. Digital Systems Laboratory
10. Microprocessors and Microcontrollers
Laboratory
11. Automatic Control Laboratory
