Vice Dean of Graduate Studies and Research
There is no doubt that the fundamental
objective of the concept of graduate studies
in faculties of engineering is the scientific
and technical qualification of engineers
working in the various sectors of national
engineering as well as human resources
coming to Egypt from various countries of
Prof. Dr. Mousa A. Abd-Allahthe arab nation and some of the countries of the world. The graduate
studies in the faculty of engineering at Shoubra have contributed
effectively in qualifying successive members of the staff at the university
and private universities as well as by staff that contributed to the
establishment of many of the private universities in Egypt and some of
them work at universities around the world. The system of Graduate
Studies in the Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra produced generations
specialized in various fields of engineering.
Graduate Studies in Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra aims to consolidate
scientific research and deepen its relation with the labor market on the basis
of the concept of comprehensive development and its role in achieving
sustainable development for Egypt and the Middle East. They also seeks to
contribute effectively and efficiently in the rehabilitation and development
of capabilities and skills of engineers to meet the needs of the labor market,
research centers and public and private universities from qualified staff and
specialized. On the basis of faith in this message and this vision and
awareness of the role assigned to them, they are striving to recruit staff
potential and students and motivate them for creativity and the pursuit of
excellence and the application of local and international standards of
quality and academic accreditation

1. Introduction
The role of the engineers is growing in scientific research and
development, which amounted to a wide range of contemporary society in
various fields of engineering, leading to a quantum leap in factories,
corporations and companies, depending on the experience of engineering
graduates.
In the interest of faculty to pursue the steps of progress and strengthen
scientific and research expertise which supported this development
witnessed by the world, the faculty is developing its curricula periodically
to raise the level of Graduate Studies and Research by/and providing
academic programs to pursue areas of development and strengthening of
scientific expertise and research that will support the successive
development.
Study in graduate credit hours system allows enrollment of engineering
graduates at Egyptian universities, as well as obtaining degrees in
engineering disciplines, which are neutralized by the Supreme Council of
Universities
First: Goals of faculty
Engineering profession is a profession at which engineering science is
applied, as well as the knowledge gained through study, experience and
practice in order to develop and innovate methods and techniques,
machinery and equipment for optimal use of materials and natural
resources for the benefit of human society.
So the faculty operates through its departments that cover most of the
scientific disciplines needed by the labor market to achieve the following
objectives:
• prepare graduates able to apply engineering knowledge and methods in
practical life.
• Prepare a graduate capable of decision-making and dealing with crises.
• Develop a graduate familiar with modern technology and information
technology and how to deal with it.
• prepare graduates capable of competing in the labor market under the new
circumstances and changing.
• Contribute to the preparation of cadres in the field of scientific disciplines
existing faculty.
• Contribute to the development of society and the environment through
participation in the development of scientific solutions to the existing
problems by studies and research.

Second: Faculty Development and its Scientific Departments
• 1961 founded the engineering division at the Higher Institute of
Technology in Cairo, Ministry of Higher Education. It grants bachelor's
degree after a five-year study.
• 1975 Engineering Division of the Higher Technical Institute is
incorporated in the Faculty of Technology at Matareya (one of the
faculties of the University of Helwan) where Helwan University is created
in the same year.
• 1976 issuance of Presidential decree No. 367 of 1976 in 07/04/1976
annexation Higher Institute at Shoubra to Ain Shams University under the
name of the Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra.
• 1976 issuance of presidential decree No. 1069 of 1976 in 10/30/1976
annexation of the Faculty of Engineering in Shoubra to Zagazig
University / Benha branch.
• 2005 issuance of Presidential decree No. 84 creates Banha University and
the Faculty of Engineering in Shoubra is one of its Faculties.
Third: Scientific Departments
1 - Department of Architecture
2 - Department of Civil Engineering
3 - Department of Surveying Engineering
4 - Department of Electrical Engineering
5 - Department of Mechanical Engineering
6 - Department of Engineering Mathematics and Physics
Subdivisions scientific departments are shown in Table (1)

2 - The Overall Objectives of Credit Hours Study System
1 - Application of credit hours system in graduate studies aims generally to
provide an opportunity for students to choose whether the program or
course which increases the correlation of graduate by the university with
increasing cooperation between the university and industrial and service
institutes. This system allows the study of supplementary courses in the
disciplines of the original student is allocated to help him in his
application, also provides diversity course for students even within the
same specialty.
2-
Meet the growing professional demands of the industrial and service
institutes in the applied fields, open more job opportunities to graduates
in the areas unique by creating new interface diplomas disciplines
3 - Development and construction of the student's personal responsibility
and self-reliance, research and continuous learning.
4 - The diversity of students enrolled for the new diplomas allow natural
interaction between students of different levels and disciplines.
5 - Select the appropriate academic load for each student where the student
chooses a number of courses commensurate with his efficiency and
choose to study a course before another unless there is a correlation
between the two courses.
6 - Overall system allows the possibility of proposing new courses and
create another disciplines without the need for significant change in the
study plans.
7 - Develop scientific content for each graduate courses in all the
departments on the latest world-class and, according to many of the
current technical standards in universities in the world with the
possibility of his continued development.
8 - Encourage academic departments to develop research plans approved
by the Board of faculty and University and be linked to the country
development plan and integrated with the surrounding environment.
9 - To urge support for scientific research by the country and the industrial
and service institutions to activate the relationship between the university
and industry, whether physically or scientifically applied research and
marketing domestically and internationally and elevating the level of
dissemination of scientific thesis across different media publishing.
10 - The application of electronic management system in the graduate study
in the faculty, allowing extension full development of the career
structure and the overall performance of the whole faculty.
