Program Aims:

The aim of the BSc degree in Architectural Engineering is to provide a coherent multi-disciplinary programme of study which offers a thorough grounding in Architectural Engineering. The programme develops the student’s ability to reconcile divergent factors and integrate domains of knowledge in the articulation of an architectural proposition. It equips the student with the tools necessary to design projects of substantial complexity, and to integrate to a professional level advanced technical and environmental knowledge in the resolution of such projects. Because of its’ inter disciplinary nature, the degree will allow the student the flexibility to take up a range of different careers across the architectural profession and the construction job market whether in an architectural firm or a construction/contracting company. The careers range from an architectural designer, to a working drawings/construction document producer or CAD operator, to a site supervisor/engineer. Graduates could as well undertake further training or study to develop their expertise in related fields such as construction management, landscape architecture, urban planning or design, and interior design.

Welcome from the Head of Architectural Department:

Welcome to the MSA Architectural Engineering Department. Our department offers an outstanding educational experience while maintaining a strong sense of family. Compared to other disciplines, architectural education is distinctive as it addresses a range of technical, cultural, social, and economic concerns that have an impact on society as well as natural and built environments. Knowledge is all around us, but within our department, you'll learn how to acquire, analyze, and evaluate it. In this journey, you will identify your competencies, develop your creativity, and increase your awareness.
Our goal is to prepare our students to become the successful architects of the future who will be able to use their gained knowledge, skills, and qualifications to influence the design of the built environment locally as well as internationally. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Shady Shawky Saifelnasr.
