Competences
In addition to the competences for Graduates from Ain Shams University and all Engineering Programs, the Utilities and Infrastructure Program graduate must be able to:
- Select appropriate and sustainable technologies for construction of buildings, infrastructures and water structures; using either numerical techniques or physical measurements and/or testing by applying a full range of civil engineering concepts and techniques of: Structural Analysis and Mechanics, Properties and Strength of Materials, Surveying, Soil Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics.
- Achieve an optimum design of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Structures, Foundations and Earth Retaining Structures; and at least three of the following civil engineering topics: Transportation and Traffic, Roadways and Airports, Railways, Sanitary Works, Irrigation, Water Resources and Harbours; or any other emerging field relevant to the discipline.
- Plan and manage construction processes; address construction defects, instability and quality issues; and maintain safety measures in construction and materials.
- Deal with biddings, contracts and financial issues including project insurance and guarantees; and assess environmental impacts of civil engineering projects.
- Identify principles in the fields of surveying, geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, roads and airport systems, traffic engineering, transportation planning, railway engineering, water and wastewater systems and their codes of practice and standards.
- Plan and design of roads and highways, railways, transport systems, traffic management systems, water and wastewater networks and treatment facilities and produce civil drawings.
- Consider environmental issues in transportation planning and traffic engineering, water and wastewater systems, solid waste management, conduct field and laboratory measurements, and assess environmental impact of public works engineering projects.
- Use wide-range of analytical tools, techniques, equipment, and software packages in the field of surveying, remote sensing, transportation engineering and water and sanitation facilities.
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding and carry out maintenance of all elements for different types of roads, airports, pavements and traffic systems.
- Demonstrate knowledge, understanding and application of transportation planning and traffic engineering models and systems at various planning scales.
- Demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and utilization of plane and topographic surveying techniques, processes and equipment, photogrammetry and the Global Positioning system (GPS) in engineering projects.
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of railway engineering and train operations systems.
- Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of water and wastewater networks and treatment facilities and demonstrate knowledge of environment pollution and solid waste management.
