Welcome to the College of Engineering & Advanced Computing at Alfaisal University. The College of Engineering & Advanced Computing at Alfaisal University is committed to its mission of delivering world-class engineering education at undergraduate and graduate levels and enabling graduates to contribute to the welfare of Saudi Arabia and the world. In addition, the college provides community and research services that support sustainable development in Saudi Arabia and contribute to building a knowledge-based economy.

Our college offers a range of accredited degree programs aligned with Saudi Arabia’s evolving needs and Vision 2030. These include architectural, electrical, mechanical, industrial and software engineering, all accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. To address emerging fields, we provide specialized tracks and minors in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, renewable energy, construction management, sustainable development, and digital design and manufacturing.

New and Expanding Programs

Recently, we introduced a Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering program in collaboration with the College of Medicine at Alfaisal University and King Faisal Specialized Hospital and Research Center. This program integrates academia, clinical medicine, and the biomedical industry, offering specializations in medical imaging, medical devices, and AI in healthcare.

To meet industry demands and technological advancements, we are restructuring into the College of Engineering and Advanced Computing, introducing new bachelor’s programs in Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Data Science, along with a Bachelor of Architecture. These programs are strategically designed to prepare students for the digital age.

At the graduate level, we offer a Master’s in Engineering and System Management, developed in collaboration with the Centre for Complex Engineering Systems (CCES) at KACST and MIT, focusing on decision-making, analytics, and Industry 4.0. Additionally, we launched a Master’s in Applied Artificial Intelligence in Fall 2024 and will introduce a Master’s in Cybersecurity in Fall 2025.

Industry and Academic Collaborations

We take pride in our strong partnerships with both industry and academia. A key collaboration is with Boeing, a co-founder of Alfaisal University, which actively supports the annual Engineering Design Expo and Boeing Competition—a platform that showcases students' innovative projects. Additionally, several advisory board members from prestigious local and international companies serve on our college advisory board. Their insights and engagement are essential to the success and advancement of our programs.

Our partnership with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) through the Accelerated Bachelor’s and Master’s (ABM) Program allows eligible undergraduates to earn a Bachelor’s from Alfaisal University and a Master’s from KAUST within five years, providing an accelerated pathway to advanced education and career growth.

A Commitment to Excellence

Our success is driven by a dynamic learning environment, continuously updated curricula, and hands-on, practical education. With distinguished faculty and strong industry partnerships, the College of Engineering and Advanced Computing at Alfaisal University prepares future engineers with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle tomorrow’s challenges. All of this is possible through an environment that fosters innovation and creativity, and emphasis on relatable and practical engineering education. Thank you very much for your visit and I invite you to explore our website and learn more about different programs within the college and all the exciting opportunities that are being carried out by the engineering faculty and students.

Sincerely,

Dr. Muhammad Anan
