In addition to the competences for Graduates from Ain Shams University and all Engineering Programs, the Housing Architecture and Urban Development Program graduate must be able to:

1. Create aesthetically pleasing and technically sound architectural designs ranging across different scale based on the most contemporary trends and smart systems and theories of architecture, urban and planning.
2. Produce designs that meet building users’ requirements through understanding the relationship between people and buildings; and the need to relate indoor and outdoor to human needs, scale and environment.
3. Prepare design project briefs and documents and analyse the context of the architecture in the construction industry, Infrastructure including the architect’s role in the processes of bidding, procurement of architectural services, and building production.
4. Solve problems and creatively design housing schemes or urban contexts that demonstrate awareness and integration of information and processes in project work by considering their contexts (social, economic, political, institutional, / environmental and physical) technical installations, infrastructure and engineering problems associated with building designs with the underlying concepts and theories.
5. Coordinate and monitor the production of information and data from a variety of sources, including drawings, specifications, codes of practice, related to principles of Architecture, Housing and urban development.
6. Apply appropriate mathematical and computer-based methods for modelling and analyse spatial and non-spatial data to produce integrated architecture documents and Land Mapping.
7. Judge engineering decisions considering balanced costs, benefits, risks, safety, quality, reliability, and housing market, while having adequate knowledge of industries, organizations, regulations, and procedures involved.
8. 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 modelling techniques, urban informatics.
9. Exchange knowledge and skills with engineering sectors and industrial sectors working in the field of Housing production.
10. Evaluate and formulate Strategies and models of policy for develop or regenerate resources towards sustainable housing provision, informal upgrading and urban development.
