are 13 members (Annex S4-0-1-2 Faculty Members Guide). The ratio of the total number of

students to the total number of full-time and full-time equivalent teaching staff in a program is an

important measure of the program's ability to provide students with quality instruction and
support. Figure (S4-0-1-1) shows the average student-to-teaching staff ratio in the Mechanical

engineering department in 2022 - 203 is 20:1; which is less than the desired target benchmark

13:1 (Annex S4-0-1-3 Report of KPIs 1444H, pp 27).

A balanced student-to-teaching staff ratio is crucial for fostering a conducive learning environment

and ensuring the academic success of students. Maintaining an optimal ratio plays a pivotal role in

various aspects of education. Therefore, the head of Mechanical engineering department
requested 8 faculty members need to be recruited (Annex S4-0-1-4 Mechanical engineering

department council No. 8, pp 15).

The distribution of teaching staff across different ranks, such as professors, associate professors

and assistant professors, plays a crucial role in shaping the academic environment and influencing
