Description
To align its activities with the latest industrial demands and trends, the ME department is offering a new course-based Master of Engineering (MEng) program in Mechanical Engineering with five concentrations: i) Thermal Sciences, ii) Solid Mechanics, iii) Dynamics and Vibration, iv) Materials and Manufacturing, and v) Renewable Energy. The program is tailored for individuals who require a more career-oriented advancement of knowledge rather than the more research-oriented MS program. The motivation for establishing these program options is primarily to enable engineers working in the industry or in governmental agencies to pursue graduate studies in areas of direct relevance to their profession for the purpose of improving their engineering background and technical skills and who are not interested to pursue doctoral degrees. The MEng program structure has been designed based on the requirements of the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies at KFUPM as well as benchmarking with top universities in the USA. The program was further improved based on the input received from ME faculty, alumni, and various departments at KFUPM.
Program Admission Requirements
This program is open only for non-scholarship students. Students on scholarship from KFUPM are not allowed to enroll in this program. Applicants to the MEng program in Mechanical Engineering must hold a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields from an accredited university, with a GPA not less than 2.5/4.0 or equivalent.
The applicant must satisfy the general requirements for MEng admission set by the College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. If the minimum requirement in one area is not achieved, consideration is given for a provisional admission when other credentials are satisfactory.
