Description
The Department of Chemical Engineering at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM) is a leading department and it was ranked by QS Ranking in the top 51-100 in 2020. The department offers graduate programs leading to Master of Science, Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy degrees. The programs are designed to broaden and strengthen scientific and engineering knowledge of the graduates. The department is committed to prepare the students perusing a successful professional career in different areas such as academia, research and development, process design and management. The graduate programs are focused on the key areas of Chemical Engineering such as Energy, Petrochemicals and Environment studies.
The University is attracting a considerable amount of students for the Master Program with thesis. However, many students, especially part-time students, may be interested in obtaining a master's degree without necessarily conducting research with a thesis option. These two types of masters are present in many western universities where the two master's degrees are differentiated either as Master (thesis) or as Master (non-thesis) programs. The non-thesis program is frequently referred to as Master of Engineering.
To compensate the thesis credits, the course-work load is generally higher than the load required in thesis-based programs. Additionally, the non-thesis master program may include some approved research activity in lieu of a thesis.
We propose to offer such program to non-scholarship students. Students on scholarship are expected to contribute to the research activities at the department. Non-scholarship students at KFUPM are mainly part timers.
