Electronics & Telecommunications Engineering

This department was established in 2016 to meet the demand for a four-year Bachelor of Science in Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering. Because of the rapid growth of the global electronic and telecommunications industries, the country has a need for which the ETE Department is the only provider in the region. Graduates of this department will be prepared for careers in any sector requiring knowledge of electronics or telecommunications, including but not limited to healthcare, corporations, the telecommunications industry, and more. In order to prepare for more advanced engineering design courses like microwave circuits, advanced telecommunications, and mobile and satellite communication, the students will begin their engineering education with introductory courses like electronic circuits and network essentials in their sophomore year.

Chair of Department Omar Abdulghafoor, Ph.D.

Following the students graduation by three to six years, they are expected to use their Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering and soft skills to fulfill the following objectives:

  • Graduates with technical and professional leadership roles with ability to embrace lifelong learning via advanced study, or professional membership to meet the present and future global needs.
  • Graduates with ability to solve complex engineering problems and demonstrate innovation and creativity in Electronic and Telecommunications for society development.
  • Graduate with humanistic values, moral values, self-reliance and communication skills to contribute for the well-being for their societies and to meet the requirement of a dynamic environment.

Department of ETE adopted student outcomes that support the PEO’s with a mindset that the attainment of these outcomes prepare graduated to enter the professional practice of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering. The student outcomes are in line with ABET Criterion 3 requirements to have the following student outcomes:

  • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  • An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
  • an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies
