undergraduate courses | study plans |
The academic departments are considered as a gathering of members of
staff having common general specialization. The ever growing scientific
and technical progress developed a wide range of fine specialization
which in turn led to the subdivision of the departments to accommodate
members of close specialization and also to allow for the addition of
new staff members specialized in modern topics. Twelve academic
departments are now well established in the faculty with more than 780
staff members and their assistants.
The academic departments offer courses to undergraduate students to
cater for their aptitudes and specializations. Also, they offer courses
to graduate students according to the research plan declared by the
departments and approved by the faculty council.
The basic science courses are taught through the department of physics
and engineering mathematics.
All other departments lie within four groups:
The Civil Engineering Departments Group: Structural, Irrigation and Hydraulics, Public Works.
The Architectural Engineering Departments Group: Architecture, Urban Planning.
The Electrical Engineering Departments Group: Electrical Power and Machines, Electronic Engineering and Electrical Communications, Computer Engineering and Systems.
The Mechanical Engineering Departments Group: Design and Production, Mechanical Power, Automotive.
The academic departments comprise a large number of laboratories furnished with most recent equipment and scientific instruments. They are always expanded and updated to go in parallel with the curriculum and research plan of the faculty.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING PHYSICS AND MATHEMATICS |
Among the several departments that the Faculty
contained upon its foundation, is the department of
Mathematical and Physical Science. This department is
responsible of teaching science courses such as
Mathematics, Mechanics, Physics, Chemistry, and
Descriptive Geometry to students in their preparatory
year or higher.
In the beginning, science graduates were allowed to
join the department as teaching assistant and on
completion of their Ph.D. degree they joined in as
staff members. For engineering graduate students,
they had to first get a B.Sc. degree in the field of
Mathematics or Physics in order to continue as staff
members in the department.
In 1978, the department witnessed three major
modifications. The first, was the changing of the
department’s name to the following name: The
Department of Engineering physics and Mathematics.
The second modification limited the assuagement of
teaching assistants to engineering graduates only.
The third and final modification was the replacement
of the required B.Sc. degree obtained from one of the
faculties of Science by equivalent courses given in
one academic year.

DEPARTMENT OF STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING |
Structural Engineering is an essential tool for the mankind. Historians
use it to assess the development of the ancient and modern nations.
In Ain Shams University, the main objective of the Structural Engineering
Department is to serve and develop the surrounding community through
teaching the theories of several structural engineering subjects along
with their practical applications to the structural engineers.
The structural engineers are responsible for studying the soil strata,
designing the structural drawings, and supervising the construction of
new structures. Furthermore, maintenance, strengthening, and repair of
existing structures are among their responsibilities. The structural
engineer participates in the project management process.
The research topics include creating and developing structural materials
and methods for the optimum design of structures.
In the Structural Engineering Department, undergraduate students study the
properties and testing of materials, design of structures, prepare
construction documents drawings for all types of structures.
They are taught to analyze the structure to find the acting forces and to
compute the resulting stresses and strains. Then to choose the suitable
construction material and method, which requires complete knowledge of
the properties and behavior of materials including steel, reinforced
concrete, Pre stressed concrete, and composite materials. A structural
engineering student, thus, needs thorough studying courses like theory
of structures, properties and testing of materials, reinforced concrete
design, steel design, and soil mechanics.
The Structural Engineering Department serve the community by taking its
responsibility in solving technical problems, providing the necessary
consulting and advising, performing the quality control tests for both
public and private sectors. This is achieved through several special
units. | |

infrastructure projects. On top of these fields comes the surveying
engineering, which represents the base of any engineering project.
Surveying Engineering covers a wide range of surveying topics, including,
plane surveying, topographic surveying, geodetic surveying,
photogrammetry, maps projections, hydrographic surveying, engineering
astronomy, remote sensing and geographic information systems.
The second major branch of the department is the sanitary
environment branch . The branch concerns with teaching and research
works in the fields of potable water and sewage water treatment
plants and networks in addition to solid waste disposal and treatment,
industrial waste treatment and other environmental studies.
The third major branch of the department is the transportation
engineering. This branch concerns with teaching and conducting
research works in the fields of transportation and traffic planning,
highway and railway engineering. These fields deal with movements
of passengers and goods and future planing for transportation
facilities to cope with expected demands and to study and design
of different transportation networks; road, railway, water, air
and pipelines networks.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE |
The establishment of the department of architecture dates back
to 1950. In 1986, a new section of urban planning was
established. Students passing the second year exams in the
department of architecture have the choice to either enroll in
the department of urban planning or continue in the department
of architecture. The objective of the department is to graduate
architects who are capable in both theoretical and practical
aspects to play their creative role in shaping the built
environment taking into consideration the social context and
the modern technology.
To achieve this objective, courses are designed to include
humanities, engineering courses, and design in a progressive
manner. Horizontal integration as well as vertical integration
is maintained among interrelated topics. In first year, more
focus is put on skills. Elective courses are offered in the
third and fourth year in order to provide a wide range of
alternatives. |

DEPARTMENT OF URBAN PLANNING |
The establishment of the urban Planning department dates back
to the year 1986 when the department of Architectural was
divided into two departments: Architecture and Urban Planning
department .The aim was to emprehend the Architectural and
Urban fields in the Faculty .The students begin to specialize
in Urban Planning department after finalizing the preparatory
year & two successive years in the Architecture of department.
The student studies a group of specialized curriculums for
example: Urban design, Urban Planning and Housing &
Architectural Design. The student also has to study a number
of specialized curriculums for example: Environmental control,
landscape, Economic Geography, Urban Sociology, Computer & its
Applications in Planning, Building Legislation’s in addition
to Transportation, Road Traffic & Planning Legislation’s,
Urban Economy & Feasibility Studies for Urban Projects.
These studies are directed to serve a comprehensive project
for graduation.
The department aims at graduating the Urban Planner from two
aspects, theoretical & applicable to serve the community in at
the scale of urban design as well as the scale of urban
planning. To achieve this goal, comprehensive curriculums
have been offered in the department. Field studies are
running parallel to the academic studies. In addition,
the graduation project is related to the local environment
and its problems. |
