In the Fall, 2011 and Fall 2013, the College started the Chemical Engineering Program for male students and the Biomedical Engineering program for female students, respectively. The Materials Engineering program is expected to start in 2016.

In the meantime, the college is working on establishing postgraduate programs in Chemical and Electrical Engineering.

Since establishment, the College has adopted a scientific approach based on the principles of strategic planning and quality in higher education in order to achieve excellence and distinction.  In one hand, the curriculum development emerged from an exhaustive search including market surveys, research in labor market needs, and benchmarking against other renowned universities.  On the other hand, Standards from internationally recognized sources such as ABET-EAC and the KSA National Commission for Academic Accreditation and Assessment (NCAAA) have been utilized.

Currently, four engineering programs: Civil and Environmental Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are accredited to September 30, 2021​.  Meanwhile, KFU is seeking NCAAA Accreditation and the college is taking leading role in the accreditation efforts in collaboration with other colleges within the university.​
