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 Construction Engineering Office.
A total of 162 credits is required for the bachelor of science degree in construction engineering:
Core Curriculum (40 credits) as stated on pages 76-81
The science requirement of the core curriculum electives is met within the Engineering core requirements.
Students should take ORGN 307 for the social science requirement. |
