Mechanical Engineering Alfaisal University

Overview

Experimental work is carried out in laboratories and through small projects work at all levels of the program. The Mechanical Engineering program of Alfaisal University also includes industry and University-based summer research projects at different levels. This is not to say that your mechanical engineering education is over, the main aim of the ME program being to provide graduates with the ability and confidence to continue lifelong education within their chosen profession.

Mechanical engineers have always been in good demand worldwide. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the world over, there is a great demand for mechanical engineers. National public and private sector companies like Saudi Aramco, SABIC, Saudi Railways Organisation, KACST, universities in addition to multinational companies such as BAE Systems, Boeing, General Electric, IBM, Microsoft, Google, Schneider, Schlumberger, Siemens, Thales International, and United Technologies, etc., all have constant interest in Mechanical Engineers across all specializations.

A degree in mechanical engineering at Alfaisal University will give you the knowledge and advanced interdisciplinary skills to work in the design, development and manufacture of products in Saudi Arabia and worldwide.
