ABET Review
“KFUPM engineering programs are of high
quality, are offered by highly enthusiastic
faculty, and are supported with outstanding
facilities. All of the programs were judged to
satisfy the ABET Engineering Criteria and
appropriate criteria, and they are judged to be
substantially equivalent to accredited programs
of similar titles in the United States.”
