Welcome to the Faculty of Engineering and Technology of the British American University where a fantastically excellent Engineering and Technology education awaits you! The BAU Faculty of Engineering and Technology is one of the two Faculties in the College of Science, Engineering, and Technology. The Faculty focuses on the concepts, techniques, and innovation in the development of Engineering and Technology. In this Faculty, students choose from a rich set of electives that includes data science, computer graphics, artificial intelligence, database systems, computer architecture, computer networks, Civil and Mechanical Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, and Petrochemical Engineering among other Technology-based disciplines. Our advanced courses in Engineering and Technology stress “hands-on” learning by doing which is a significant aspect of Technology-based education. A generous allotment of free electives allows students to combine study in their specialized program with study in other fields either by taking a well-defined specialized minor in another discipline or by working with an advisor to formulate a program that combines experiences across disciplines
WELCOME TO FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY
Mission Statement
The BAU Faculty of Engineering and Technology will be an exciting place to perform high-impact research and to learn about the latest developments in the constantly developing field of Engineering and Technology. The programs from the Faculty ensure that students graduate knowing the fundamentals and practical aspects of their chosen fields of study. The BAU Engineering and Technology is excellent as measured by the quality, breadth, and impact of our research, quality of our teaching, excellent preparation of our graduates for leadership in the profession and in higher education, dedication of our award-winning department staff to outstanding service and our commitment to recognize everyone’s contributions to the corporate success of the Faculty and the University.
Faculty Objectives
We usually achieve the above goals by housing laboratories, such as our next generation search lab, that are unique in the United States in their singular focus on a specific, high-impact research area, constantly updating our curriculum to incorporate innovations in the ever-changing Engineering and Technology arena. In the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, hiring, nurturing, and retaining outstanding and energetic faculty who strengthen our existing expertise, while positioning us to lead in the important emerging research areas of the various disciplines in the ongoing new millennium, maintaining high selectivity in our graduate programs by choosing students with the potential to be leaders in the fields as determined by their evidence both of academic achievement and diversity of life experiences, and attracting the best undergraduate students on the BAU campus, while continuously reinvigorating both our undergraduate and postgraduate programs with the latest developments in the field. Our faculty members share the results of their scholarship with the practical Engineering and Technology community, keep current in the field and in areas related to normal teaching assignments, in particular, continue to improve ineffective teaching, serve as mentors and advisors to students throughout their time at BAU, take an active role in curricula and programs development, and participate in professional organizations relevant to their respective fields of interests within the Engineering and Technology.
Mission Statement
The BAU Faculty of Engineering and Technology programs have been offered since 2018. Our goal has been and continues to be high-quality degree programs that ensure that students will be able to integrate theory and practice, recognize the importance of abstraction and appreciate the value of efficient design created to meet clearly developed requirements. The programs are intended to prepare students for lifelong learning as they undertake professional careers in various disciplines. The objective of the oue programs are to prepare students for successful careers, and particularly for the Bachelor’s students, and for advanced graduate studies, by giving them the following qualities:
- Breadth: Knowledge of a broad range of Science and Technology skills, tools, and mathematical techniques, and the capability of applying them to analyze and design complex systems,
- Depth: Deep understanding of fundamental theoretical and practical Scientific problems, and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing technological landscape,
- Reasoning: Capability of solving a wide variety of problems by applying principles of computational thinking,
- Teamwork: Habits of working effectively and professionally on diverse project teams,
- Clarity: Ability to communicate technical information clearly and effectively, both orally and in writing,
- Integrity: Understanding how to approach societal effects of Science, E and Technology ethically and responsibly, and being committed to doing so,
- Learning: Interest in life-long learning, to adapt and shape an evolving world, and
- Openness: Ability to participate in interdisciplinary collaborations and apply computational methods in new and unfamiliar domains.
