The Bachelor of Engineering Technology Programme offered at Bahrain Polytechnic is composed of three Qualifications; the Mechanical Major, the Electronics Major and the Electrical Major, all placed at NQF level 8. Each of these qualifications, also have their own exit qualification which is an Associate Degree in Engineering Technology at NQF level 7.

The BEngTech Qualifications are designed and delivered in such a way, after extensive interaction with the Bahrain Engineering environment and society, in order to provide work-ready engineering technology 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.

All BEngTech Qualifications are 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. In those 480 credits, there exist 45 credits of Elective courses, 15 credits of National Requirements courses, 60 credits of English courses and the remaining 360 credits are taken from Core and Specialized Engineering Courses. Additionally, the students are required to complete a total of 80 work placement days. All Qualifications share a common 1st Year 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 BEngTech 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.

The Mechanical qualification is a technically strong qualification that aims to provide for the needs industry nationally, regionally and internationally.  The qualification has a wide base of Mechanical Engineering knowledge and skills upon which graduates can build to reflect the wide range of fields and industries that are present locally and regionally.  There is emphasis on solid mechanics, thermodynamics, sustainability and control to suit the petrochemical, aluminium and manufacturing industries.

Students gain advanced theoretical knowledge and specialist practical skills in the areas of Mechanics (static and Dynamic), workshop practice, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, material science, manufacturing process, heat transfer, vibration and noise, energy and sustainability, Computer Aided Design and control engineering.  Students are introduced to software packages Matlab and LabView and 3Dimensional modelling software, SolidWorks, is integrated and used extensively throughout the programme. Students are given an option to explore specialisations in their final year from a selection including Applied Control Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Power Plant Engineering, CAD/CAM, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, Process Engineering Principles, Energy and Environment.
