Program Offered:

• Chemical Engineering:
  

  The goal of the Chemical Engineering program is to develop well-qualified Chemical Engineers who can work in industries and other related fields as Chemical Engineer, Process Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Oil Engineer, and Chemical Engineering Researcher.

• Civil Engineering:
  

  Each course is structured to help you become a future leader in the field of Civil Engineering by equipping you with the knowledge and experience you need to analyse issues, create solutions, and execute the project.

• Electrical and Computer Engineering:
  

  Earning a Bachelor degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering is a great place to start if you're prepared to build a solid foundation in math and engineering and utilise your skills to create new and exciting things.

• Mechanical Engineering:
  

  Graduates will be prepared to enter professions in mechanical component and system design, installation, manufacture, testing, technical sales, maintenance, and other related fields. Mechanical and Mechatronic engineering is a diverse field integrating Mechanical engineering with Control, Automation, and Robotics. The program has two exit points, which are Diploma and Bachelor's degree. The Mechanical and Mechatronic engineering program enables the students to develop expertise in core areas such as Applied Mechanics & Design, Thermal Engineering, Production & Manufacturing, Mechatronics, Automation, and Robotics. The program is practice-oriented and aimed to develop well-qualified Mechanical and Mechatronic (MME) engineers who could work in industries and other related environments. The curriculum contains significant practical components, industrial visits, and training opportunities aimed at integrating theory with practical applications. A Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering Bachelor's degree graduate can be recruited in many sectors such as industries, ministry, consultancies, and the education sector. The graduate engineers can work as Mechanical engineers, Systems engineers, Mechatronic engineers, Maintenance engineers, Manufacturing Engineers and Automation Engineers. The Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering program offered by Sohar University is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia (EA).

• Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering Program:
  

  Environmental engineering focuses on creating and improving infrastructure that stops the deterioration and contamination of natural resources such as air, water, and land. A degree in Environmental Engineering is perfect for people who understand and value our connection to nature.

• PhD Engineering:
  

  Engineering PhD program are challenging and demand that students make major contributions to the area through research and practice. Engineering PhD program prepare students for careers in academia, research, government, and industry.
