The Bachelors in Engineering (Industrial Instrumentation and Automatic Control.  program aims to equip prospective students with the necessary skills in design, development, installation, managing and maintaining equipment which is used to monitor and control engineering systems, machinery, and processes. The Bachelors qualification is designed and delivered in compliance with the recommendations from the Curriculum Advisory Group (CAG) and other stakeholders such as the Bahrain industry, to provide work-ready engineering technician graduates. The graduates will acquire advanced technical knowledge in their respective fields, specialized practical skills and valuable employability skills that will allow them to provide the drive for the transformation towards a knowledge-based economy in Bahrain.

The program is designed to be delivered over a 4-year period consisting of 8 semesters. Students are expected to take 60 credits on average per semester and thus at the completion of their studies they should have accumulated a total of 480 credits. Within the 480 credits there exist 15 credits of National Requirements courses, 15 credits of Applied Project and 30 credits of English courses and the remaining  credits are taken from Core and Specialized Engineering Courses. The diploma shares a common 1st Year with other programs in the Engineering School with courses that lay the foundations of Engineering Technology and provide the students with the required knowledge to succeed in their chosen specialization.

The uniqueness of the Bachelor qualifications at Bahrain Polytechnic is the strong commitment of the Institution to deliver these qualifications using student-centred learning and more specifically, the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Methodology. Using this learning methodology, allows us to provide the required theoretical knowledge, practical skills and employability skills to our graduates and thus achieve our mission of producing enterprising and work-ready graduates for the Bahrain Society and Economy. The PBL methodology is implemented through the design of appropriate assignments that motivate the students to provide a solution to an Engineering design and/or analysis problem. Students are required to complete lab experiments, software practical assignments, design projects, controlled assignments such as theory tests and to provide rational justification for their work through the preparation of technical reports, presentations, and posters. The theoretical knowledge given to the students is provided through a balanced combination of lectures, tutorials, experimental work, project work and one-to-one supervision with Faculty members.
