Competences
In addition to the competences for Graduates from Ain Shams University and all Engineering Programs, the Environmental Architecture and Urbanism Program graduate must be able to:
- Create aesthetically pleasing and technically sound architectural and urban designs by using the architectural and urban planning principles, history and theories, technologies, economics, human sciences and local culture and heritage.
- Produce designs that meet building users’ requirements through studying the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and their environment.
- Prepare design project briefs and documents and analyse the context of the architecture in the construction industry, including the architect’s role in the processes of bidding, procurement of architectural services, and building production.
- Solve problems and creatively design sustainable building schemes or urban contexts that demonstrate awareness and integration of information and processes in project work by using building environmental systems and management together with the underlying concepts and theories.
- Realize the process of sustainable building and urban design and their various components through the integration of structural design, construction, technology and engineering problems associated with building designs.
- Coordinate and monitor the production of information and data from a variety of sources, including drawings, specifications, codes of practice, related to principals of environmental architecture and urbanism.
- Apply appropriate mathematical and computer-based methods for Modeling and analysing environmental design problems.
- Judge engineering decisions considering balanced costs, benefits, risks, safety, quality, reliability, and environmental impact, while having adequate knowledge of industries, organizations, regulations and procedures involved.
- Produce professional technical and workshop drawings to transform the concepts into buildings using traditional drawing tools and computer-aided drawings’ techniques, as well as building information Modeling techniques.
- Exchange knowledge and skills with engineering sectors and industrial sectors working in the field of environmental control.
