Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University

In 1839, a School of Technical Operations was founded which in due course developed and became School of Arts and Industries in 1932, then later School of Applied Engineering . It continued to exercise its task until 1946 when a ministerial decree was issued giving the school the name of the Higher Institute of Engineering. When law No. 93 in 1950 was passed to establish Ibrahim Pacha University, the High Institute of Engineering became the nucleus of the Faculty of Engineering. The Faculty of Engineering, having completed its infrastructure and facilities, became one of the incorporated faculties of the University. Upon the recommendation of the Faculty Council, the University awards the following degrees: Bachelor of Science, Higher Diplomas, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy, in engineering. The Faculty keeps offering well from the start the following main engineering fields: Civil, Architectural, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The academic departments have developed and expanded during the past years to cope with the continuous development of subjects and the ever-growing number of academic staff which at present totals 780 members including teaching assistants and instructors.
