Abstract EN

The current study aims to identify the reality of the reflection of the concept of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and its emerging technologies in the programs and specializations of government universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through a survey of a group of elements such as the names of colleges, programs, and their types that serve in teaching the sciences of emerging technologies and the outputs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In addition to analysis, criticism of the vision, and mission of these colleges.

The information available on the official websites of public universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was relied upon on the Internet, which amounted to 29 universities.

The study concluded that the 29 Saudi public universities have colleges for teaching computers and its sciences.

The faculties of computer science were keen to provide a vision and a message for their work, and to display it on their official website.

The distribution of program titles (artificial intelligence, cyber security, data science) is also focused, which are explicit specializations that serve the concept of emerging technologies under master's programs more than launching them on bachelor programs.

The programs of 6 out of 29 colleges obtained the National Accreditation for Assessment and the NCAAA Academic Accreditation issued by the Training and Education Evaluation Commission.

And 10 out of 29 colleges have ABET international academic program accreditation, which is specialized in measuring the performance improvement of academic programs in computer science and its branches.
