The department of network engineering was established in 2009 where it admitted its first batch of students by the Central Admission Plan of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research for the academic year 2009/2010. The specialization of this department was considered as one of the new directions, where the information revolution and data transmission and the urgent need to provide networks communications able to keep up with cutting-edge applications day after day. The network engineering department is the first department open in this specialization at the level of the country.
The academic programs of the department were formed to be in accordance with international contexts used in prestigious universities in the world to cover all the theoretical and practical aspects of the field of specialization. The graduates of this department will be awarded Bachelor of Science degree in Networks Engineering. The B.Sc. program is a 4-year semester based system with a total of 144 credit hours.
The department established a Master of Science (M.Sc.) program named “Networks Engineering and Internet Technologies” to encourage researches and students for developing academic and research skills as well as provide specialists in networks engineering.
