Department Head, Dr. Badr bin Saad Al-Otaibi


It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Department of Architectural Engineering at Najran University

This department was established in the College of Engineering after the Civil and Electrical Engineering departments in 1433 AH (1993). The department pays great attention to the fields and systems required by buildings, such as structural, electrical, and mechanical systems, in addition to construction techniques and management, and integrates these into a precise integration with architectural design

The Architectural Engineering program seeks to promote the concept of sustainable buildings as the ultimate goal of design. It therefore works to detail all aspects related to design procedures and processes to achieve the desired integration of structural, mechanical, and electrical building systems, in addition to construction management and environmental systems. Many reasons have combined to enhance the need for this specialization, including the exponential growth in the construction industry, the technological boom in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the enormous complexity of modern buildings. The program includes 135 credit hours after the preparatory year

Finally, we hope you find all the necessary information about our department on this website. We also look forward to your visit to our new campus, and your comments and feedback will be welcomed by the department's faculty and students, who will provide you with any additional information you require
