\u00a0<\/strong>Granting Accreditation to Faculty of Engineering\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University was granted accreditation by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education (NAQAAE) according to the decision of the Authority Board dated March, 2016. \u00a0Early in 2015, the Faculty of Engineering applied to be accredited by (NAQAAE), and a committee from the authority visited the faculty later during the period from December 7 to December 10, 2015, and consequently made an evaluation report based on field visits recommending granting accreditation to the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University for a 5-year period.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University intends to seek international accreditation by the American Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), not only for the faculty as a whole but for its different departments separately, especially after the two programs of the Department of Architecture (The Two-Semester System & the Credit-Hour System) were accredited by the UNESCO and the International Union of Architects (UNESCO-UIA).\u00a0\u00a0 In fact, the Civil Engineering program is on top of the list of programs recommended to apply for accreditation.<\/p>\n
