Introduction and Programme Aims
The aim of this programme is to provide students with a comprehensive set of theoretical knowledge and practical skills for employment as engineering technologists. Both qualifications are fit-for-purpose in terms of addressing the Industrial needs nationally, regionally and internationally. Through the application of the Problem Based learning methodology, the required theoretical, practical and employability skills are transferred to our graduates in order for them to transform into work – ready and enterprising graduates that will enhance the value of the Society and the Bahraini economy. The students are motivated to learn through the application of engineering analysis, design and the evaluation of real life problems and the inclusion of various courses in English Language, Mathematics, Project Management, Ethics and Social responsibility.

Teaching and Assessment
The programme is delivered through a mixture of classroom teaching, tutorials, guest speakers, online (web-based), laboratory work, workshops, problem-based learning, supervised brief and extended projects, field trips and workplace experience. Assessment of courses is both formative and summative, and typically includes a mix of tests, assignments, laboratory reports, project reports and examinations.
Work Placement
Starting from Year 2, students are required to complete 80 days of approved work placement. It is expected that this will normally occur in 4 week periods in each year of the programme.

Summary of Programme Structure
Each Major is delivered over a 4-year period. In the first year all engineering students study the basic principles of Mechanical, Electrical, and Electronics Engineering as well as Mathematics and English courses with an engineering focus. In the second year, students select their specific major and follow the relating courses according to the stream. They also select other Elective courses required in all Polytechnic degrees while the English courses tailored for engineering, continue through to the end of the second year. The students continue their studies at the third and fourth year gaining applied knowledge and problem solving skills based mostly on projects development. Each semester, students gain work experience through industry placements organized by the Polytechnic. Project based learning is common in both the Engineering degrees. Students learn through small integrated projects in the early years while the final year consists mostly of large industry linked projects.
Specific courses being delivered in this programme can be found at the Polytechnic’s website under “Bachelor of Engineering Technology”.
