King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) is applying modern technology in all its field of studies, preparing students to tackle real-world issues.
It applies modeling and simulation in physical, chemical, biological and environmental processes, materials science, exploration and management of oil reservoirs, in the mathematical analyses carried out by the Department of Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering Division (CEMSE), and in the field of computer science and large data processing, including biological information, statistics, and visual and supercomputing, SPA reported.
CEMSE's research areas include electrical engineering, communication networks, Complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits, optoelectronic and optical devices, micro-electromechanical system (MEMS), various types of sensors, measurement and detection devices, and functional and nano-materials.
KAUST's Applied Mathematics and Computational Sciences program trains students to build mathematical and computational models to solve real-world issues. This program gives the opportunity to obtain two degrees: a master's degree (with or without a research thesis) and a PhD degree. The Computer Science program trains to create computer models and apply various computational methods in different fields.
Electrical and Computer Engineering plays an important role in the field of engineering, applied physics, and computational science.
The Electrical Engineering program prepares students for a variety of career paths, advanced global research, and research-based education through interdisciplinary engineering and science. The Statistics program teaches and trains students to analyze and model real-world situations.
