Hi fellows,

I am planning for a faculty position in Saudi Arabia and would be interested to know the education culture here.

Can you pls mention the universities in Saudi Arabia where female students can enroll into engineering disciplines? Also how these classes are conducted? i) by female professors? or ii) by male professors via video conferencing?

Thanks in advance..

I am particularly interested to know the condition in King Saud, KFUPM and King Abdul Aziz university

The major Universities that teach engineering in Saudi are King Faisal University in Hofuf-Al Hassa, King Saud University in Riyadh, King Abdul Aziz university in Jeddah and Dammam University in Dammam.

There are other universities BUT they usually use contractors to get their instructors. For example, Prince Mohamad University in Khobar(Dammam) is a private good school.

Those

Yeah... in these universities they offer females engineering programs BUT most of the times don't go for it.

The universities that has high number of female engineering students are Prince Mohammad University, King Abdul Aziz University And King Saud.

Other universities vary with their yearly numbers

How these female students are taught or instructed in the class? by male professors in the same classroom or by female professors?

It depends on availability. They prefer female professors for female students BUT if they don't have female instructors, they teach through video conferencing
