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 details, 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 resource management, productivity measurement, accounting, information systems, strategy and policy formation, contracting, and construction law.
Bachelor of Science
The objective of the construction engineering program is to prepare students to have a good command of the technical, economic and management aspects associated with the construction industry. Those individuals are equipped with a solid foundation in fundamentals, analysis, synthesis, design, construction management, and construction technology that allows them to undertake and/or to manage the various construction engineering tasks.
A student who intends to major in Construction Engineering must submit a Major declaration form upon completion of 60 credit hours.
Students should consult the course listings and their faculty advisor on a regular basis to ensure that prerequisites for engineering core, concentration and elective courses are met. A model course plan for the Major is provided in the Department of Engineering Office.
A total of 162 credits is required for the bachelor of science degree in construction engineering:

Mechanical Engineering involves the application of scientific knowledge for the design and manufacturing of devices and systems that use or transfer mechanical and thermal energy. The mechanical engineer should strive both to serve the needs of society without unduly damaging the environment and to produce devices and systems that use energy and material resources efficiently.
Bachelor of Science
The objective of mechanical engineering program is to equip students to solve open
ended problems-including problem definition, generating alternative solutions and evaluating possible solutions using mathematical and computer models or physical prototypes- and to effectively present their results both orally and in writing.
Students have three study options within the major: materials and manufacturing engineering, industrial engineering, and design. The materials and manufacturing engineering option focuses on optimum material selection for a given application and quality control of production processes and products. The industrial engineering option combines basic mechanical engineering knowledge with quantified management techniques, enabling the engineer to plan, control, design, and manage industrial operations. The design option integrates elements of the mechanical engineering program and utilizes modern computer methods to enable the engineer to execute the complete product design cycle from concept to hardware.
The program is designed to prepare students to be accredited as mechanical engineers by both ABET and the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities. AUC engineering graduates are highly in demand by both private as well as public sector firms. The areas of expertise that students are prepared for cover design of products, tools and installations; design and operation of manufacturing processes; facilities design; quality assurance and process control. A number of graduates go on to pursue graduate degrees at AUC, Egyptian and overseas universities.
A student who intends to major in Mechanical Engineering must submit a Major declaration form upon completion of 60 credit hours.
Students should consult the course listings and their faculty advisor on a regular basis to ensure that prerequisites for engineering core, concentration and elective courses are met. A model course plan for the Major is provided by the Department of Engineering Office.

Engineering electives (21 credit hours)
Courses must be selected from at least two of the three available specializations of courses. A minimum of twelve credits must be taken from of one specialization as follows:
Design specialization: a minimum of nine credits from courses in group A of the Design specialization and the remaining three credits from courses in either group of the specialization.
Industrial specialization: a minimum of six credits from group A courses of the Industrial specialization and six credits from its group B courses.
Materials and Manufacturing specialization: a minimum of six credits from group A courses of the Material and Manufacturing specialization and six from its group B courses.
In addition, a minimum of six credits must be taken from another area of specialization and should be selected from group A of the 3 specializations or the common group B of Materials and Manufacturing and Industrial specializations.
Students opting for double specializations will take a minimum of twenty four credits, equally divided between the two areas such that the minimum requirements of each area of specialization are satisfied.
