  Department in Focus:

Civil Engineering department offers Undergraduate and Graduate studies programs. A general B. Sc. degree in civil engineering for Undergraduate and Higher Diploma study, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for post graduates. Civil Engineering has 43 Staff member in all Civil Engineering branches; also it has 8 laboratories which are well equipped to cover all scientific activities in Civil Engineering. The laboratories carry the task of experiments for consultation activities to be sure that the results match with the general specification & Standards. There are three main divisions in Civil Engineering.

The remote sensing center, which was established in the faculty of engineering in 1993 as a result of a cooperation program between Assuit University and MED COMPUS, can be considered as a specialized center in geomatics. This remote sensing center is equipped with computer workstation, PCs, GPS equipment and some GIS and image processing software. This center offers short courses and holds workshops, with cooperation between foreign and other Egyptian universities and institutes, in the following subjects:

1. Principals of remote sensing and applications related to mapping, geological, agricultural and environmental application.
2. Image processing techniques for different applications.
3. GIS (principals and application)
4. GPS with practical training and application

 Conditions:

The applicant must be graduate from secondary school with a certain minimum score varies from one year to another. There are graduate and undergraduate programs in the University.

Undergraduate program is a five-year program. There is a preparatory year for all students of the faculty. The courses given under this department are:

Key Subjects:

Coverage of the Subjects in short:

1- Surveying (1): includes the traditional surveying for planemetric and leveling measurements, duration one-semester 8            hours per week. 

2- Surveying (2): Includes planemetric and topographic mapping by digital techniques, electronic distance measurments and          total stations, duration one semester 4 hours per week.

3- Surveying (3): Includes applications of photogrammetry and remote sensing for mapping applications, duration one-                semester 4 hours per week.

4- Geodecy: Includes design and setting out triangulation networks, GPS applications, astronomy and error propagation.

Elective course chosen form list of courses in the third and fourth year level, which is counted in the case of failing. In the list there is a courses related with the focus.

C311 - Application of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing

C425 - Application GIS

C426 - Application of GPS in geodetical Surveying Works

There are three types of postgraduate studies in the civil engineering department. These are diploma, Master, and Ph.D. Programs.

There are six types of civil engineering diplomas among which surveying Engineering is very much related with spatial referenced information.
