2 College of Engineering 2 COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Officers of the College Professor Hamid Al Naimiy Professor Mohamed Maalej Professor Fikri Dweiri Dr. Amr Elnady Chancellor Acting Dean College of Engineering Vice-Dean Assistant- Dean for Graduate Studies History The College of Engineering at the University of Sharjah was established in Since then, the College has grown significantly and presently offers eight undergraduate engineering programs in Architectural, Civil, Computer, Electrical and Electronics, Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, Mechanical, Nuclear, and Sustainable and Renewable Energy Engineering. Four of these programs (Civil, Computer, Electrical and Electronics and Industrial Engineering and Management) are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The College also offers graduate programs at the Masters level in Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering and Engineering Management. In addition the College offers a PhD program in Engineering Management in collaboration with ETS University from Montreal, Canada. Overview The College of Engineering is led by the College Dean who is responsible for and represents the College to higher administration as well to other colleges. The effective management and decision-making in the college is carried out through a hierarchy that extends from Department Committees to the College Council chaired by the Dean and includes the Vice-Dean, Department chairs and Department representatives. The College Council serves as the ultimate forum at the College level in which issues are discussed and decisions are made. Furthermore, and in addition to the Vice-Dean, a number of College committees chaired by senior faculty members assist the Dean in matters related to curriculum and accreditation, research and graduate studies, faculty selection and promotions, and student s affairs.

Teams are also required to submit and present technical progress reports. Prerequisites: Transportation Engineering; Geotechnical Engineering; Introduction to Environmental Engineering; Technical Writing; Engineering Economics; Pre/Co: Reinforced Concrete Design 1; Pre/Co: Hydraulic Engineering & Design; 4th Year Standing Senior Design Project II (0-6:3) In continuation of Senior Design Project I, each team work towards completing analysis and design of their project. Each student in the team is expected to handle a specific task of the project and coordinate his/her work with the rest of the group. The team is required to submit their preliminary design supplemented with all necessary documents and drawings. A presentation of the project results will be part of the student evaluation. Prerequisite: Senior Design Project 1.
