College History:

On 17/1/1423 A.H.; the council of King Saudi University (KSU) recommended the transformation of the Department of Agriculture Engineering in the College of Agriculture and Veterinary at its Qassim campus (branch) into an engineering college. The college is to start with three main departments:  the electrical, the mechanical and the civil engineering.
The recommendation was then discussed in the meeting of the Saudi Council for Higher Education on 2/11/1423 A.H. The council approved the recommendation on 23/11/1423-A.H.
Consequently, a committee of specialists from KSU was selected and assigned the task of developing the curriculums for the three programs. The committee approved the general requirements of the B. Sc degree in engineering. This includes the fulfillment of the university, the college, and the department requirements. Therefore,  the schooling process, according to the programs previously set by KSU, started and continued for two full academic years. In 1425-A.H., Qassim University decided to adopt the Preparatory (foundation) Year Program (PYP) for all its scientific colleges. It was a good chance for the Engineering College to enhance and improve its programs with the objectives of satisfying the new university system "PYP" in addition to the job market and accreditation requirements.
