Welcome to KFUPM Open Courseware

The World Wide Web has become a common means to openly share instructional content on a worldwide level. The purpose of KFUPM open courseware is to showcase course material used in the courses of the university to demonstrate KFUPM educational culture and to be part of the global interactions in the open sharing of educational material.

The courses on this site are categorized in terms of the academic disciplines in which university offers its academic programs.
