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 1997. 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.
