ABET Review

• KFUPM engineering programs are of high quality,
  are offered by highly enthusiastic faculty, and
  are supported with outstanding facilities. All
  of the programs were judged to satisfy the ABET
  Engineering Criteria and appropriate criteria,
  and they are judged to be substantially
  equivalent to accredited programs of similar
  titles in the United States.

CURRICULUM REVISION

• The newly-revised engineering curricula
• Involve more computer-oriented applications
• Emphasize basic sciences and engineering
  fundamentals
• Develop design skills through capstone courses
• Focus on industrial needs of Saudi Arabia
• Stress the social and ethical aspects of the
  engineering profession
