Engineering Solutions for Global Challenges

KAUST's Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program fosters a vibrant interdisciplinary research environment.

Here, faculty, researchers, and students from diverse backgrounds collaborate on tackling challenges that impact social progress, economic development, and everyday life.

Located at the heart of Saudi Arabia's giga-projects landscape, KAUST ECE leverages this strategic position. Our research directly addresses challenges aligned with the Kingdom's national priorities for research, development, and innovation (RDIs) in Health and Wellness, Sustainable Environment, Energy and Industrial Leadership and Economies of the Future.

Through this collaborative approach, our diverse research groups tackle a wide range of challenges across Communication Networks, Integrated Circuits, Photonics, MEMS, Sensors and more.

Together, we are shaping a smarter and more sustainable future.
