التخصصات الدقيقة || Concentration Program CX

ما هو برنامج التخصصات الدقيقة؟

برنامج التخصصات الدقيقة هو برنامج اختياري متاح فقط لطلاب التخصصات العلمية (Science). يهدف إلى تطوير مهارات الطلاب في مجال محدد عن طريق أخذ أربع مواد اختيارية موجهة ضمن مجال معين، ويتم منح شهادة مستقلة للبرنامج بجانب وثيقة التخرج.
على سبيل المثال، يمكن للطالب التخرج بشهادة هندسة ميكانيكية مع شهادة تخصص دقيق في الأنظمة الحرارية.


آلية التقديم والدراسة:

  • التقديم: يتم التقديم على التخصصات الدقيقة في الفصل الدراسي الأول من السنة الرابعة (Junior Year).
  • الدراسة: يتم دراسة المواد في السنة الخامسة (Senior Year):
    • مادتان في الفصل الأول
    • مادتان في الفصل الثاني

ملحوظة: تخصص الهندسة النووية يتبع نظامًا مختلفًا في التقديم ودراسة المواد.

إذا كانت لديك أي استفسارات إضافية، يمكنك التواصل مع الجهة المسؤولة ( عمادة الدراسات العليا ):

  • رقم الهاتف: 0138608895
  • الموقع: مبنى 68، مكتب 221

المتطلبات العامة:

  • الحد الأدنى للمعدل التراكمي: 2.0 لجميع طلاب درجة البكالوريوس في جامعة الملك فهد للبترول والمعادن (KFUPM).
  • الطلاب ذوو التخصصات التطبيقية غير مؤهلين للتسجيل في التخصصات الدقيقة.
  • الطلاب الذين أكملوا من 79 إلى 115 ساعة معتمدة مؤهلون للتقديم.
  • بالنسبة لطلاب KBS، يسمح بالتقديم إذا كان عدد الساعات المكتسبة يتراوح بين 50 إلى 110 ساعة.
  • الطلاب الذين أنهوا جميع مواد المستوى Junior الخاصة بالتخصص مؤهلون للتسجيل في التخصص الدقيق بعد إكمال المواد الأساسية المطلوبة.

معلومات إضافية:

  • يمكن للطلاب الذين يكملون برنامج CX ثم يلتحقون ببرنامج MX في نفس المجال احتساب المقررات ذات الصلة من CX ضمن متطلبات MX.

    • على سبيل المثال، في تخصص الروبوتات:
      • CIE 480: مقدمة في الروبوتات والأنظمة المستقلة
      • CIE 481: التحكم التطبيقي في أنظمة الروبوتات
      • CIE 482: تخطيط المسار والملاحة للروبوتات المتنقلة
      • CIE 483: الذكاء الاصطناعي وتعلم الآلة للروبوتات
        يتم احتسابها بدلاً من المقررات المكافئة في MX:
      • AE 581: مقدمة في الروبوتات والأنظمة المستقلة
      • SCE 575: التحكم التطبيقي في أنظمة الروبوتات
      • SCE 576: تخطيط المسار والملاحة للروبوتات المتنقلة
      • ICS 520: الذكاء الاصطناعي وتعلم الآلة للروبوتات
  • تم إعداد قائمة تشغيل على YouTube توضح برنامج التخصصات الدقيقة (CX) وبرنامج الماجستير (MX) من قبل جامعة الملك فهد للبترول والمعادن:

الأسئلة الشائعة:

  • هل التخصص الدقيق يقلل من فرصي الوظيفية؟
    لا، يتم منح شهادة مستقلة للتخصص الدقيق، والطالب له الحرية في إرفاقها مع طلبات التوظيف أو عدمه.

  • هل الأفضل اختيار تخصص دقيق أم مواد اختيارية متنوعة؟
    هذا يعتمد على اهتمامات الطالب. إذا كنت ترغب في التخصص في مجال معين، فإن التخصص الدقيق هو الخيار الأنسب. أما إذا كنت تفضل التعرف على عدة مجالات، يمكنك اختيار مواد اختيارية منوعة.


Concentration Program CX

What is the Concentration Program?

The Concentration Program is an optional program available exclusively for science students. It aims to enhance students’ expertise in a specific field by taking four elective courses focused on a particular domain.
Upon completion, students receive an independent certificate for the program in addition to their graduation degree.
For example, a student could graduate with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and an additional certificate in Thermal Systems Concentration.


Application and Study Process:

  • When to Apply: Applications are submitted during the first semester of the Junior Year (4th year).
  • Course Schedule:
    • Two courses in the first semester of the Senior Year (5th year).
    • Two courses in the second semester.

Note: The Nuclear Engineering CX has a unique application process and course distribution.

For further inquiries, please contact the responsible deanship ( Graduate Studies):

  • Phone Number: 013-860-8895
  • Location: Building 68, Office 221

General Requirements:

  • Minimum GPA: 2.0 for all KFUPM BSc students.
  • Students with applied majors cannot enroll in concentrations.
  • Students who have completed 79 – 115 earned hours are eligible.
  • For KBS students, the eligible range is 50 to 110 earned hours.
  • Students who have completed all Junior-level courses specific to their major are eligible to enroll in the concentration after completing the pre-requisite courses.

Additional Information:

  • Students who complete a CX program and later pursue an MX in the same field can have relevant courses from the CX program counted toward the MX program.

    • For example, in the Robotics concentration:
      • CIE 480: Introduction to Robotics and Autonomous Systems
      • CIE 481: Applied Control for Robotic Systems
      • CIE 482: Path Planning and Navigation for Mobile Robots
      • CIE 483: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Robots
        will count in place of the equivalent MX courses:
      • AE 581: Introduction to Robotics and Autonomous Systems
      • SCE 575: Applied Control for Robotic Systems
      • SCE 576: Path Planning and Navigation for Mobile Robots
      • ICS 520: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Robotics
  • A YouTube playlist has been prepared by KFUPM to explain the CX and MX programs:

FAQs:

  • Does the concentration certificate affect my job opportunities?
    No, the concentration program provides an independent certificate, and you can choose whether to include it in your job applications.

  • Should I choose a concentration or diverse elective courses?
    It depends on your interests. If you want to specialize in a specific field, the concentration program is ideal.
    If you prefer exploring multiple areas, you can opt for diverse elective courses.
