In September 11, 1916, the Sultan\u2019s Decree No. 23\/1916 was issued to modify the Sultan\u2019s Engineering School regulations to allow for five scholastic departments, the first of which was the \u201cDepartment of Irrigation and Civil Engineering.\u201d\u00a0 In May 10, 1926, another decree was issued to divide the course of study at the \u201cRoyal Engineering School, Almohandiskhana\u201d into four departments, of which the first was the \u201cCivil Engineering Department.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 The fourth year students in Civil Engineering had to choose, at that time, one of the following major technical fields:<\/p>\n
. Topography<\/p>\n
. Railway Engineering<\/p>\n
. Irrigation Engineering<\/p>\n
. Marine Works<\/p>\n
. Water Supply and Sanitary Works for Urban Regions<\/p>\n
In September 10, 1938, Law No. 80 was issued stating the Faculty of Engineering Regulations. Under this law, four departments were established. The first of these four was the Civil Engineering\u00a0Department which contained all the scientific fields of the Civil Engineering.<\/p>\n
Since 1956, the Civil Engineering Department was divided into three separate departments as follows:<\/p>\n
. Structural Engineering Department<\/p>\n
. Irrigation and Hydraulics Department<\/p>\n
. Public Works Department<\/p>\n
However, this decision was only regarding Management and Administration. In the mean time, the undergraduate students joining the Civil Engineering Department graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.<\/p>\n
The Structural Engineering Department provides top-quality education through various courses to undergraduate and graduate students of the Civil Engineering Department to make them competitive academically, professionally and ethically.\u00a0\u00a0 The Department fulfills, as well, the needs of other Faculty departments which require knowledge of some structural engineering aspects for their graduates.\u00a0 The Department faculty members also supervise and teach courses of the Credit-Hour Programs of Construction Engineering and Management, and Structural Engineering.<\/p>\n
The Structural Engineering Department comprises the following five scientific divisions:<\/p>\n
. Structural Analysis and Mechanics<\/p>\n
. Properties and Strength of Materials<\/p>\n
. Reinforced Concrete<\/p>\n
. Metallic Structures and Bridges<\/p>\n
. Construction Engineering and Management<\/p>\n
The Department has two laboratories that have special nature, namely:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Each laboratory is headed and directed by the senior professor in the corresponding division.\u00a0 The two laboratories serve the academic activities of demonstrating the experimental tests associated with the undergraduate and graduate courses, together with conducting the research programs of the faculty members and their graduate students.\u00a0 Quality control, quality assurance and various technical consultations are also performed and provided by the two laboratories for governmental agencies and both public and private sector construction companies.<\/p>\n
The Department library contains two or three copies of each M.Sc. and Ph.D. thesis granted by the department since the late eighties.\u00a0\u00a0 Those copies are made available for interested researchers and department faculty members.<\/p>\n
Lately, the library of late Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Adham El-Demerdash and the library of late Prof. Dr. Mohamed Shafik Aggour, both containing valuable books in various fields of structural engineering were added.<\/p>\n
