Mechanical Engineering King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals

Overview

During these years, the Mechanical Engineering curriculum aims at developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills using the principles of science and mathematics. In the second semester of the junior year each AME student is required to go on a 15-week program of internship industry experience. After completion of his internship training each student is required to submit a formal internship report and make an oral presentation of his internship experience. 

In the senior year the students have sufficient flexibility to select ME Electives from a broad spectrum of courses in the areas of thermo fluids, design and dynamics, or materials and manufacturing. A senior Capstone Design project spread over two semesters provides each student with the opportunity to integrate his knowledge of the previous three years, exercise his creativity, enhance his individuality, and develop entrepreneurship skills.
