of fered by the college departments so as to get acquainted with the nature of the different engineering disciplines.

After successfully passing 28 out of the 34 credit hours of the first year at the college, a student must submit, electronically, a request to the Deanship of Admission & Registration, prioritizing his preference of the different disciplines. Each department is given a number of students in accordance to its capacity and arrangement with the department and college. The priority of acceptance for admission in a department is given to those applicants with the highest GPA. Students Transfer from other Departments of the College Students from another department of the college must have a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) higher than the lowest GPA admitted to the department. A prescribed form must be filled-in by the student for final approval by the college students affairs unit The priority of acceptance is given to the students with the higher grades, on the basis of available seats in each department. Credit TransferIt is permissible for the students to transfer credits of courses studied in a reputable engineering college if the courses are equivalent to those offered by the college departments. Approval of the department is perquisite for the transfer acceptance. The transferred credits should not be more than 40% of the total credits of a degree plan of the College of Engineering at King Saud University. Transferred credits are not included in the GPA but a grade of at least C should be scored to pass courses.

C) Practical Training

A student is allowed to register for the practical training after successfully completes 110 hours, through the student portal (e- educate). No other courses are allowed for him during the practical training period. Local companies are contacted by Vice Dean for academic affairs to enquire about the possibilities of training the department students and the number of students that can be accepted. Replies from companies are kept in the electronic system of the college. All available training opportunities are sent to the department, and announced by the department for students. Student fill-in a form for the practical training and submit it to the department practical-training committee showing his choice of companies. Vice Dean officially contacts the companies and secures the placement of students. Student must get the training for the period is 10 weeks and submit weekly reports to the convener of the department com mittee for practical training. Company reports a confidential assessment of the student performance to the department. Department allocates the grade of the training as pass or fail based on the company evaluation and weekly reports.
