Prep Science and Engineering Program

The Preparatory Science and Engineering Program consists of two major courses and seven modular courses. Students are required to take two major courses plus four modular courses. The two major courses are PYP 001 (Preparatory Physical Science) and PYP 002 (Introduction to Digital Technologies). PYP001 and PYP002 are laboratory courses of 1 credit hour.
The modular courses are PYP011 (General Safety), PYP012 (Automotive), PYP021 (Graphics), PYP022 (Self-Management), PYP032 (Arduino), PYP031 (MS Office), and PYP042 (Critical Thinking). Each modular course consists of eight contact hours and half credit hour.
Every semester, students must choose two modular courses that are combined in one set. By the end of the second semester, students are expected to complete four modular courses (two sets). However, students would be given an option to add two more elective courses of their interest.

SCIENCE FAIR 2025
 

The Prep Science and Engineering Program hosted Science Fair 2025, where students created and conducted experiments to showcase fundamental principles of physical science. Participants included high school students as well as those in the prep year program at KFUPM. The event was judged by Dr. Ali Alshehri from the Mechanical Engineering Department and Dr. Md Ahsan Halimi from IRC-CSS.

Students were evaluated on their projects based on the following criteria: Understanding of Concept, Procedure & Execution, Results & Accuracy, and Presentation & Organization.

The first-place winner is Mazen Saeed Aljazaeri for his project titled "ASTRO-K." The second-place winners are AbdulKareem AlMashouq and Abdullah AlHarbi for their project, "IONIC THRUSTERS." Third place was awarded to Fatimah AlShubbar, Arwa Ali AlHdeathai, and Bashayr Bassam AlAbbad for their project, "MAGENTA."

Congratulations to all the winners! A heartfelt thank you to all participants for their outstanding projects, as well as to everyone who contributed to organizing and supporting this event.
