The undergraduate program "Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (ME) Program", in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Jubail University College, Saudi Arabia is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) is an USA-based organization that accredits college and university programs worldwide in the disciplines of applied science, computing, engineering, and engineering technology.


Program Educational Objectives

Graduates of the ME program will be expected to:

  1. Apply knowledge and develop skills to work effectively as productive mechanical     engineers;
  2. Work and communicate proficiently in order to develop practical, technically-sound, cost-effective solutions to mechanical engineering problems;
  3. Enhance self-confidence, ability to make proper decisions, and adherence to professional ethic; and
  4. Pursue advanced knowledge, research and development, and new technologies in mechanical engineering fields
