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

• Select appropriate and sustainable technologies for construction of buildings; 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 Transportation and Traffic. 
• 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.
• Produce designs that meet building users’ requirements through understanding the relationship between people and buildings, and between buildings and their environment; and the need to relate buildings and the spaces between them to human needs and scale.
• Generate ecologically responsible, environmental conservation and rehabilitation designs; through understanding of: structural design, construction, technology and engineering problems associated with building designs.
• Apply computer applications to design and manage building construction projects.
