The school of engineering lays out the foundation of professional careers. Once decided to join the school of engineering you had made the right pronouncement that will equip you with sophisticated technical and communications skills that make you exceptional to the market place.

LIU engineering graduates work in a wide variety of industries located throughout the world; namely, in the Gulf States.  Many of our graduates go on the professional and graduate schools. They are well known for their exceptional ability to communicate clearly with others, their capability to work through difficult problems, and their ability to solve problems and design creatively.  Flexibility is a word often used by employers to describe our graduates.

Even though, the School of Engineering prepares students to serve the rapidly changing demands of a new century and our undergraduate degrees provide breadth and depth; the Bachelor degree graduates are encouraged to join the Master Programs at LIU which enhance the knowledge of our master graduates and prepare them to be equipped to deal with technical topics and with the challenges of practice in the future. 

The school of engineering promotes the master graduates to keep in touch with our professors who bring insight and wisdom from many different perspectives – practical experience, research, and the roles of teachers and parents. It is hoped that through cooperation with the school our master graduates are provided opportunities for practical work experience, international study and community.

       The Pharmacy profession has passed through many changes throughout history; from the traditional use of plants and other spiritual remedies to the highly advanced application of biotechnology and gene therapy. This great development in drug investigation and pharmaceutical exploration set new challenges for pharmacists to deal with and to make use of.

Over the past few years we worked very hard to establish a program which enables our graduates to become new asset in the healthcare system. The school is staffed with motivated and dedicated instructors who employ their knowledge and experience to facilitate the learning process and to stimulate students' interest and attention toward the program. Classrooms and laboratories are equipped with new and advanced equipments which support and serve the learning procedure.

And with the fact that our students come from different socioeconomic backgrounds and are highly motivated to pioneer and to serve their societies, this made our school acknowledged by public and private institutions and our graduates are highly recognized by national and international pharmaceutical companies. It is worth to mention as well that our graduates' performance in the national colloquium exam was outstanding with 100% passing rate and with highest scores attained.
