The construction industry is the largest industry in Egypt and much of the world. Construction engineering is a relatively new field that is designed to foster technological advances in the industry, to utilize modern design techniques, and to develop means to improve production, products, components and subsystems, and distribution and utilization of equipment. Construction engineering covers the basic civil engineering components such as structures, geotechnical, water resources, transportation, and environmental engineering. In addition, it covers, in detail, methods for the modeling of construction projects, numerical simulations, the evaluation of various construction strategies, and construction quality control. It deals with organizational planning, financial and human resources management, productivity measurement, accounting, information systems, strategy and policy formation, contracting, and construction law.
The specific objectives of the Construction Engineering Program are that students within a few years of graduation will be able to: Effectively apply in a holistic manner the fundamentals of science and engineering to pursue successful careers in the construction engineering profession; Fully integrate the broad spectrum of construction engineering topics including its areas of concentration with other engineering disciplines; Cope with and improve upon the ever-evolving technologies of the construction industry; Communicate effectively, work independently and as a part of a team, and fit within multidisciplinary projects and multi-cultural environments; Recognize and consider the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context with the ability to understand and respond to other cultures; Engage in lifelong learning and develop their ability to pursue further studies; Develop creative solutions to engineering problems, provide effective leadership and demonstrate commitment to professional and ethical conduct.
Students have the choice of one of three concentration areas within construction engineering. These are: 1) Construction Materials and Structures; 2) Construction Management and Technology; and 3) Infrastructure. The Construction Materials and Structures concentration provides students with the ability to integrate advances in construction materials with advanced knowledge in structural design and mechanics. The Construction Management and Technology concentration provides students with the tools that would enable them to become effective construction managers, through gaining a deeper appreciation of the technology and management aspects involved, and a greater exposure to the various facets of the industry. The Infrastructure concentration better equips students for involvement in civil infrastructure projects, and enables them to contribute to consulting practice in highway engineering, environmental and water resources engineering. The concentration shall be indicated in the students’ Diploma.
The Construction Engineering (B.S.) program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET under the commission’s General Criteria and the Program Criteria for the Construction and Similarly Named Engineering Programs.
The Construction Engineering (B.S.) program has an equivalence from the Supreme Council of Universities in Egypt.
