Physics Department

The Partnerships and Community Service Committee at the Department of Physics – Physics and Renewable Energy Program was established as part of the department’s efforts to fulfill the vision and mission of the university and the college. Its primary goal is to prepare a distinguished generation of physics and renewable energy graduates who can contribute effectively to sustainable national development and community service.

The Committee’s mission is to promote the concept of social responsibility within the department and to employ physical science knowledge and modern technologies in advancing the community and enhancing scientific and environmental awareness among its members.

Through the work of the Committee, the department aspires to be a leader in community engagement and sustainable partnerships in the fields of physics and renewable energy. It seeks to achieve this through innovative initiatives that contribute to the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly those related to clean energy, environmental sustainability, and the promotion of innovation in science and technology.

The department has made the promotion of sustainable energy culture and the enhancement of environmental and scientific awareness within the community a central focus of its strategic plans. This is accomplished through a series of exhibitions, challenges, workshops, research projects, and field initiatives designed to enable students to apply their scientific knowledge in serving the community and improving quality of life.

Areas of Community Service

The activities of the Partnerships and Community Service Committee are organized through two complementary tracks that aim to integrate academic learning with practical community engagement:

• Curricular Community Services:

 These include service-learning initiatives embedded within academic courses, where students design and implement applied scientific projects that address real-world challenges faced by the community in the fields of physics and renewable energy. At the end of each semester, an exhibition is held to showcase these projects and disseminate their outcomes to the wider community.Among the most notable achievements in this area is the department’s receipt of the TAJ Award for Excellence in University Education (2nd version) in the Entities category, in recognition of its distinguished practices in community-based learning. This achievement highlights the department’s commitment to linking education with societal needs and to developing students’ research, teamwork, and critical thinking skills.

• Extracurricular Community Services:

These involve voluntary and awareness initiatives led by students under academic supervision, aimed at raising public awareness on topics related to physics and clean energy.In this context, the Green Power Volunteer Team was established in 2024 as a student-led platform dedicated to promoting renewable energy culture, fostering environmentally friendly behaviors, and implementing practical initiatives that serve the community in areas of energy conservation and sustainability.
