The chairman of the Computer Engineering Department exercises the leadership responsibilities for the program. All matters and requests regarding the Computer Engineering Program are directed to the chairman. The COE chairman manages the program with the help of the department standing committees listed in Table 0.4-1 which provides a description of duties and responsibility of each committee. Other ad hoc committees are formed by the chairman as necessary to deal with matters of temporary nature. The chairman directs various issues related to the program to the relevant standing committee. The committee meets and takes necessary action or makes recommendations. Where required, such recommendations are discussed in the COE Department Council and are then reported to the Dean and the council of the CCSE college for approval.
The COE faculty are committed to the program development and course coverage in addition to maintaining continuity and improvement of academic standards. The interest and qualifications of department faculty members are sufficient to plan, teach, modify and update all offered COE courses, and curriculum. The COE faculty collectively present an impressive level of competence in their respective areas of specialty through their academic, research and industrial experiences. There are four major curricular groups covering the major areas in the undergraduate program at the COE department. These are:
Each COE faculty member is a member in one or group according to his specialization. The faculty member who initiates a new course or course modification has to present it first to the group. The group meets and discusses such a new course or modification to an existing course and comes up with recommendations on the matter. The group recommendations go to the department council for approval and then to the collage council afterwards. They finally have to be approved by the university scientific council. To ensure course quality, every instructor has to submit a course file by the end of the semester. This course file includes: quizzes, homework assignments, major and final exams, handouts, best and worst examples of student work, as well as any other materials related to the course. The course file also includes all student surveys, course outcome assessments, and rubric assessments related to the course.
The COE department has currently 28 full time faculty members. For all COE faculty, Table 6.3 -36 lists the courses taught in the two terms of the academic year 2008/2009 and the percentage distribution of the faculty activities in teaching, research, and other assignments.
1 Indicate Term and Year for which data apply (the academic year preceding the visit). 2 Activity distribution should be in percent of effort. Members' activities should total 100%. 3 Indicate sabbatical leave, etc., under "Other." 4 FT = Full Time Faculty PT = Part Time Faculty Table 6-2 lists the rank, type of academic appointment, highest academic degree with the awarding institution and year, number of years of the various types of experience, and information on levels of professional activities. The table indicates that 21 out of the 27 COE faculty have doctorate degrees (78%). 67% of the 21 PhD holders obtained their degree from universities in the USA and Canada. 29% obtained their degrees from university in the UK, Europe and Australia. The distribution of the full-time faculty ranks is as follows: three professors, four associate professors, twelve assistant professors and seven lecturers, in addition to one assistant professors who is currently on deputation to other government institutions in the kingdom. Out of the 20 COE faculty in professorial ranks, 7 faculty have industrial experience averaging around 4.6 years per faculty. COE faculty have an average teaching experience of around 13.5 years per faculty. Over the term 082 of the academic year 2008/2009, overall average teaching load per faculty was around 5.1 credit hours.
