Civil and Construction Engineering | Engineering and Applied Science School

About Program

Civil Engineering is the basis of development and economic growth in societies, as it affects almost all aspects of civilized life. The Civil and Construction Engineering (CCE) is a 144-credit hour program (formerly called Civil and Infrastructure Engineering and Management program) offers a unique and modern model that focuses on the growing needs in Egypt and MENA region through the provision of multiple specialties such as the use sustainable materials, design of smart cities, design of smart concrete and steel structures, and construction project management. The curriculum of the CCE program includes learning coding, integration of AI and data analytics tools, application of computer software such as Revit and BIM, which are needed nowadays in all design, construction, operation and maintenance aspects. The CCE program includes two Majors to select from: Construction Engineering & Management, and Smart Structural Engineering, this in addition to optional Minors in various fields such as Architecture, Machine Learning, Industry 4.0 and more.

Mission

The program’s mission is to prepare graduates for professional careers in civil and construction engineering, capable of utilizing smart design concepts and materials, and adopt sustainable planning, operation, and maintenance. The program provides undergraduates with high-quality education, using modern teaching, learning and research methodologies, to acquire competencies of innovation, entrepreneurship, long-life learning, communication, leadership, and teamwork. This enables our graduates to effectively engage in regional/international industrial communities, commit to work ethics and social responsibilities, and continue to postgraduate studies.
