Industrial Advisory Boards

The Industrial Advisory Boards (IAB) are industry-based committees intended to help FER to
ensure that the graduates comply with the needs of the employer stakeholders. The board members
are leading non-academic professionals selected from a variety of backgrounds and industries that
traditionally seek graduates of engineering programs.
Boards' members generally advise FER on the needs of the job market, and the qualities that they
seek when they hire. One of the most important roles of the IAB is to help FER to review and
develop valuable educational objectives for its programs.
Capstone Experience
Students in their last year of study are exposed to a significant 2-semester personal or group
accomplishment capstone experience through the senior project course(s). This experience provides
students with the opportunity to bring together knowledge and skills acquired during their studies. It
also allows departments to assess the extent of achievement of their program outcomes. Students
will go through requirements development, design, implementation, testing, and documentation
activities. Students are required to submit a final report and give a presentation at the end.
Student Activity
FER offers a range of extra-curricular activities through its own student competitions, clubs and
activity committees. Students can participate in their choice of activities related to engineering,
Islamic awareness, culture, arts, sports, and social activity. FER encourages its students to
participate in various student events and competitions inside and outside the university.
Alumni
FER, through its Faculty Training and Graduates Unit (FTGU), works to keep in touch with its
former students in order to leverage their experiences and achievements to benefit the current
students. Alumni can help the college to review and assess educational objectives for its programs
offering valuable insights from their own experiences.
Faculty Development
KAU provides a wide range of opportunities for professional development to all its faculty
members. The Center for Teaching and Learning Development (CTLD) at KAU hosts a series of
skills development workshops and training courses offered by renowned speakers from inside and
outside the university. In addition, faculty members are encouraged to attend conferences, seminars,
workshops, and training courses for professional development.

ACADEMIC REGULATIONSAND POLICIES

Academics are largely governed by the regulations of undergraduate studies and exams in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued by the Ministry of Education, and rules of King Abdulaziz
University published by its Deanship of Admission and Registration. Both students and faculty are
encouraged to check relevant academic rules and procedures on the Deanship of Admission and
Registration webpage (http://admission.kau.edu.sa/Default.aspx?Site_ID=210&Lng=AR).
Academic Integrity
Scholastic Honesty Policy
FER is serious about creating an honest and ethical learning environment. FER will not tolerate
dishonest actions such as cheating and plagiarism, or disruptive behavior that violates its rules
and conduct expectations. Offenders will be subject to punishment in accordance with student
disciplinary regulations as issued by the University Council. FER reserves the right to use various
means to detect and document dishonest conduct.
Code of Student Conduct

FER expects all of its students to conduct themselves in a respectful, ethical, and professional
manner. In addition to guidelines outlined in KAU document of Student Rights and Obligations,
students are expected to adhere to the following:
 Respect and be courteous to faculty members, staff, and fellow students.
 Respect faculty property both physical and electronic.
 Respect faculty rules and regulations.
 Attend classes regularly and punctually.
 Complete all assignments on time and honestly.
 Actively participate in faculty activities.
 Lead by example and be a good representative of KAU students.
Student Appeals
Students can appeal any decisions according to standard university process published in Arabic
within the KAUrelated manuals, available on KAU website under Deanship of Admissions and
Registration.
Academic Advising
Academic advising is a key to success at any higher education institution. FER considers academic
advisers a valuable resource to students as they help plan their undergraduate career and, ultimately,
prepare them for graduation. Academic advising means guiding the students/advisee on different
issues related to their academic progress and help them find solutions to different academic
problems. Academic advising is related to assisting students with educational choices, degree
requirements, academic policies/procedures, as well as broader concerns such as career and
graduate school options in the future.
The process of advising FER students starts with an engineering day program specifically designed
to inform the new students of the various programs at the faculty while shedding light on their
future career opportunities. Lectures are presented by faculty members from each program. A
system for advising is in place for the students of each program. Each student is assigned to an
academic advisor, who assists him in getting familiar with the available services, understanding the
University and Program policies, explaining the curriculum, and resolving problems or issues they
might face. The academic advisor is also responsible for monitoring and guiding the student
7
11
progress throughout his academic education. The weekly schedule of faculty members includes
time slots dedicated for student advising. The students can also communicate with faculty members
through various other means such as KAU email, faculty KAU websites, and ODUS system. The
level of interaction between faculty and students is also spiritually enhanced during the two daily
prayers held during the working hours.
Roles and Responsibilities

An academic advisor is a selected faculty member of the department for the process of guiding the
students/advisee on different issues related to their academic progress and problems. Following are
the responsibilities defined for the academic advisor:
 Advise undergraduate students and address their academic concerns.
 Follow and report student progress via advising checklist sheet.
 Participate in orientation and advising services.
 Assist students in selecting suitable senior projects and supervisors.
 Check fulfillment of graduation requirements.
The advisee/student has the responsibility to:
 Recognize that advising is a shared responsibility and accept responsibility for all decisions.
 Share personal values, abilities and goals.
 Prepare for advising sessions and bring relevant materials.
 Meet with the advisor when asked for or when in need of assistance.
 Learneducational policies, procedures and requirements available on KAU the Deanship of
Admission and Registration webpage.
Academic Calendar
The FER programs, similar to all other programs at KAU, follow the semester system. Two
semesters are offered in each academic year. The duration of each semester in KSA is nominally 15
weeks excluding final examinations period. In addition, there is an optional eight-week summer
semester. Each FER program is a five-year program which consists of a two-semester preparatory
year, two semesters of university and faculty required courses, six semesters in the department
program and one summer training session after completion of no less than 110 credit hours.
Teaching during summer is in fact administrated whenever faculty is available; at least 5 students
are enrolled in the course or with at least one graduating student regardless of the number of
students enrolled.
Registration Procedure
At the beginning of each semester, the students register a number of credit hours according to their
academic standing. The cumulative GPA of the student defines his maximum loads of registration.
Maximum Load (Credit Units)

GPA With Vice-Dean If Graduating Senior in Last
Default Value
Approval Semester Before Graduation
GPA≥2.75 18 19 24
GPA<2.75+ 12 12 12

Students register their courses online through the ODUS Plus system. All restrictions are
programmed. However, if the student needs to override any of these restrictions he needs the
approval of his advisor and the department head's approval prior seeking the Vice-Dean’s approval.
Among the latest additions to the rolled features of ODUS Plus modules is the “Academic Advisor
Module” which provides the Academic Advisors the privilege of auditing student performance
against his corresponding study plan in addition to having the options of registering, adding and
dropping courses for their advisees during specific time of each semester. The following
summarizes prerequisite handling during the different registration periods:
 During the Preregistration Period (three weeks during the preceding semester): students
are required to meet with their advisors to discuss about the courses for the upcoming
semester. The students then register in ODUS Plus which enforces the prerequisites
automatically.
 During the Department Add-Drop Period (the first two weeks of the semester): The
students may, through the department, register for a course for which the prerequisite
handling has not yet been automated. Permission of the Academic Advisor and the
Department Head are required and the registration requires privileges assigned only to the
Faculty Vice-Dean.
 During the Vice-Dean Office Add-Drop Period (weeks 3 and 4 of the semester): The
Students may, through the Vide-Dean Office, add and drop courses in exceptional
circumstances. During this period, academic advisors review the class schedule of their
advisees and will request changes if any discrepancies, errors, or prerequisites violations are
found.
Examination and Grading System

The examination and grading system of all FER offered programs abide by the following
regulations:
 Success in a course is usually based on the combination of a grade awarded for the course
work, plus a grade for the final examination.
 Each course will have a total of 100 points, and these are distributed as follows: 60% for the
course work (quizzes, assignments, exercises, homework, midterm exams, projects, case
studies, practical, and 40% for the final examination.
 The passing grade in each course is 60% out of the total. If a student, for valid reason, is
unable to complete the requirements of a registered course, he/she can ask for the grade of
“Incomplete” (IC). The case should be presented to the Department Council for approval.
Any student who is approved for receiving an IC must complete the requirements of the
course during the following semester; otherwise, his/her grade automatically changes to
“Fail” (F).
 Other grade types a student might get include:
o IP Grade (In Progress): this grade is given to the student when registering a course that
requires more than one semester. The student is given up to two extra semesters
(excluding summer semester) to complete the course work. Failure to do so will
automatically change the IP grade to F grade.
o NP Grade (No Grade Pass): This grade is reserved for the students who pass the Summer
Training. The credit hours are counted but have no contribution to the cumulative GPA.
o NF Grade (No Grade Fail): This grade is reserved for the students who do not pass the
Summer Training. The credit hours are not counted and have no contribution to the
cumulative GPA. The student has to repeat the Summer Training.
9
13
o DN Grade (Denial): This grade is given to students who are absent more than 25% of the
contact hours for a certain course. Students will be denied the right to take the final
exam in that course and the DN grade will be accounted as 1.0 GPA point in the
calculation of the cumulative GPA.
o W (Withdrawn): The students are given this grade for the courses that are withdrawn
within the withdrawal period of each semester. The grade does not earn the students any
credit units of the designated courses and does not contribute to the GPA calculation.
The program grading system follows the requirements at KAU which is based on a maximum of 5
as shown below.
Letter Grade Numerical Point
A+ 95-100 5.0
A+ 90-less than 95 4.75
B+ 85-less than 90 4.5
B+ 80-less than 85 4.0
C+ 75-less than 80 3.5
C+ 70-less than 75 3.0
D+ 65-less than 70 2.5
D+ 60-less than 65 2.0
F+ Below 60 1.0
A student grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the cumulative point value of all
courses attempted by the number of credit hours in the student’s semester schedule. Although a
student is allowed to repeat any course in which he earned an “F”, the new grade does not cancel
out the old one. Old grades are kept in the student’s transcript and count towards his GPA. The
Cumulative Grade Point Average value is translated into performance standing as shown below.
Grade Range Standing

4.5 upwards Excellent
3.75-4.50 Very Good
2.75-3.75 Good
Less than 2.75 Fail
Summer Training Performance Evaluation

Summer training is administered through the Training and Graduates Unit (FTGU) in coordination
with external organizations in the country. Each student is assigned a faculty member to be his
summer training supervisor and a representative from the training organization to supervise and
mentor him at work. Summer training supervisors are assigned at least 3 students from the program.
The student’s performance is evaluated through the following:
 A field evaluation by the representative of the training organization which is submitted to
FER at the end of the training period,
 Regular on-site visits by the summer training supervisor during the training period, and
10
14
 A written report and oral presentation conducted by the student before his summer training
supervisor at the first two-weeks of the semester following the training period.
Withdrawal
The student has the right to withdraw from one or more courses or from the whole academic
semester within the withdrawal period announced in the academic calendar for that semester. No
withdrawal is allowed during the last five weeks before the final examination. The college Vice
Dean must approve the withdrawal request after reviewing the authenticity of the student's reasons
for withdrawal.
Attendance
Considering that regular course attendance is necessary for academic success, KAU requires that
students should attend at least 75% of the lectures and practical. Students failing to meet this
requirement in any of the courses will be prohibited from attending the final examination of that
course and will have a DN (Denial) grade in that course. Furthermore, the student who is absent in
the final examination of a course(s) will not be given a substitute examination, except for a valid
reason accepted by the college council.
Scholastic Probation
All students at FER are required to maintain a GPA of at least 2.75 out of 5.0 which is the minimum
GPA for graduation. Those who fail to maintain this GPA are placed on scholastic probation and
are given three consecutive semesters in which they must attain it. If this condition is not met within
this period, the student may then be dismissed from his studies at the FER. One last opportunity of a
fourth semester to raise the average can be given, after review of the academic record by the
academic supervisor and approval of Faculty and University Councils. Students who are completely
absent for a semester will be disqualified from their program and will require the approval of the
Faculty Council to resume their studies. Students failing in all of their registered courses in one
semester are temporarily disqualified until they supply official proof from the instructors of these
courses that they attended at least partially. Access to the ODUS Plus is denied for disqualified
students. Student academic records and administrative aspects, including online registration, are
integral parts of ODUS Plus. Students are expected to graduate after completing 10 semesters and
will be disqualified from their programs if they do not fulfill the graduation requirements within a
maximum period of 15 semesters. In exceptional cases, the University Council can give an
exceptional opportunity to the students to fulfill the graduation requirements within maximum of 20
semesters.
Transfer Students and Transfer Courses

KAU has in place a process for the evaluation of transfer credits from other universities as well as
transfer of credits between different KAU faculties. The Deanship of Admission and Registration
arranges the transfer of course credits from other four- or five-year institutions. In many cases, this
process requires additional evaluation by the academic advisor or referral to a faculty member who
is more familiar with particular subject matter.
Transfer from Other Universities

A student may transfer from another university to the Faculty of Engineering - Rabigh at KAU if
the following conditions are satisfied:
 The academic degree pursued by the student in the original university is substantially
equivalent to the Bachelor of Science degree granted by KAU.
 The student should have a minimum GPA or 3.0 out of 5.0 or equivalent.
11
15
 The student should not have been dismissed for disciplinary reasons from the university he
is transferring from.
 The student must complete at KAU at least 50% of the credit hours required by the KAU
degree.
 Transfer students may transfer the courses taken in their previous university provided that
they are deemed equivalent to the corresponding KAU courses. For such equivalence to be
granted, three criteria must be satisfied:
o The two courses are ascertained to be essentially of the same content by the
concerned KAU department or program.
o The number of credit units of the course at the previous university is at least the
same for the KAU course.
o The student must have passed the course with a grade C or better.
 Transferred courses are listed in the transcript but will not contribute to the student’s
cumulative GPA at KAU.
 The transfer is administered by the Deanship of Admission and Registration.
Transfer of Students within the FER

Students may apply, only once, to transfer to the program if they are studying in another program at
the FER and have not completed 50% of the credit hours required in their current program. Transfer
is competitive based on the available seats of the program and the students’ GPA. The transfer is
administered by the FER Vice-Dean Office. All courses previously taken by transferring students
(whether required for the program or not) do remain on the students’ records and are included in
their cumulative GPAs.
Discontinuity Status
The following rules apply to students who discontinue their education progress:
1. The student is considered to be on discontinuing status if he withdraws from a semester or
fails to register, with or without a valid reason.
2. It is permissible for a student to be on a discontinuing status for a maximum of two
consecutive semesters, or a maximum of three non-consecutive semesters during his
enrolment. The student‘s enrolment will be terminated if he exceeds these limits.
3. Any student who loses his status as a student at KAU due to the condition mentioned in
point 1 above is entitled to appeal to be readmitted to the university based on the following
conditions:
 The student should satisfy all the admission conditions announced at re-admission.
 The student should keep the same University Identification Number and the records he
had prior to discontinuing his study.
 The student's appeal should be approved by his Faculty Council, which has the right to
require the student to retake any course that he has passed.
If the student‘s discontinuity exceeds four semesters, he can apply for admission as a fresh student
without looking into his previous record, provided that his discontinuity was not because of
misconduct.
Programs Graduation Requirements

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
DEPARTMENT

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid changes in various sectors of economy. In
particular, manufacturing firms, engineering enterprises and organizations are becoming more
complex. To be competitive in the global environment, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia requires
sufficient number of industrial engineers who are well trained to design, install, maintain and
manage complex industrial operations and manufacturing systems. In line with this development,
the Department of Industrial Engineering was established in the Faculty of Engineering, King
Abdulaziz University, Rabigh Campus in 2009.
Currently, the department offers a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering program. Industrial
Engineering is a discipline known for its breadth of scope and applications. It is not only concerned
with technology, but also with people and operational issues. It combines scientific and technical
knowledge with human sciences to design, plan, and analyze systems that involve people, materials,
money, energy, equipment, information and other related resources. The most distinct aspect of
industrial engineering is the flexibility it offers. Because of its broad perspective, industrial
engineering is applicable in a wide variety of industries, including: manufacturing, health care,
banking, insurance, transportation, construction, utilities, and government agencies. However, to
maintain the depth and the focus, the curriculum is designed to meet the specific and unique needs
of employers in surrounding industrial areas. Hence, manufacturing systems and engineering related
operations are the application domain of the curriculum. As such the curriculum emphasizes on the
analysis and design of manufacturing systems. It prepares students to work in activities such as
manufacturing process planning and control, automation, production methods and standards,
computer-aided manufacturing, engineering economic analysis, facilities design and optimization of
industrial operations. For industrial engineering graduates to function effectively within
interdisciplinary environment, the curriculum gives more emphasize on broad engineering sciences
courses.
Vision
Our vision is to become a center of excellence in Saudi Arabia of prominent research, education,
and collaboration that produces, attracts and retains industry leaders, decision makers, and
researchers in the field of Industrial Engineering.
Mission
Our Mission is to prepare distinguished and creative engineers through high quality applied
education based on Islamic values and ethics to pioneer in research, consulting and knowledge
transfer; all for ultimately serving and developing the society by making systems productive and
efficient.

Within few years of graduation, graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering
(BSIE) program are expected to:
 Have positively impacted work environments at IE related challenging positions in the
industry or have successfully established start-ups.
 Have developed their careers in industry and/or academia by virtue of acquired knowledge
and adaptation to evolving professional environments.
 Be engaged in the service of local, regional, and/or professional communities through
knowledge development and innovation while being ethical leaders
