In the modern era, electronics and their applications have permeated every aspect of life, becoming an indispensable part of our daily interactions with the world around us. Recognizing this, the College of Applied Sciences introduced the Electronics program in the academic year 2002/2003. Its aim was to cultivate a new generation of professionals, well-versed in both theory and practice, who could navigate the ever-evolving landscape of modern electronic technology. This landscape has been significantly shaped by the communications and computer revolution, which now stands as one of its most important aspects.

Graduates of this program earn a bachelor's degree in Applied Electronics after completing a rigorous curriculum consisting of 129 credit hours spread over four years of study. With their qualifications, these graduates are well-prepared to embark on careers in various sectors, including community institutions, technical workshops, assembly, maintenance, communications, and computers. They also have the option to pursue academic roles, teaching and delivering courses to both public and private sectors interested in the field of electronics.

Program areas:

1. Electrical Networks and Their Analysis: Electrical circuits operate based on fundamental principles, and this program focuses on courses that lay a strong foundation for students in both electrical and electronic circuits.
