1. INTRODUCTION
Computers have become a fact of our daily life. Computer Illiteracy is now an issue as
is reading and writing illiteracy. Industrial development and population growth can not
be achieved without well prepared population as well as expertise in electronics,
communications and computer engineering. The digital gap between nations need to be
both bridged and when so, will allow to all innovative minds to come up with true
breakout inventions to man kind as was the wheel and electricity. Egypt with its
geographic location and size of population and available expertise allow it to play the
role of a focal point distributor to a communication and computer engineering program
to all of the Arab world as well as African countries. Therefore, the Faculty of
Engineering at Cairo University, the oldest and one of the most prestigious schools in
engineering in the Arab world is has established a Communications and Computer
Engineering (CCE) Program based on the credit hours system (CHS). This program will
prepare the engineers to take the lead for their countries into the digital society.
2. PROGRAM MISSION
The mission of the Communications and Computer Engineering Program at Cairo
University is to provide the highest standard of excellence in higher education while
pursuing continuous quality improvement. The goal of the program is to provide the
community with communications and computer innovative graduates capable of

5. MARKET NEEDS ASSESSMENT
The Egyptian government has a goal aiming at building of the information society. The
latest releases show the advancement of Egypt with respect to the world evaluation
index to place it within the top 100 countries. Therefore, it is expected that youth will
realize not only the importance of the communications and computer engineering
discipline but also the rising potential employment opportunities within a world of rising
unemployment in many other disciplines. Information Technology is a fast growing and
promising investment area and Egypt is witnessing more and more investors coming to
the newly established smart village as well as the rising interest in a silicon valley.
Multinational companies are seeking fresh graduates to cover the 24  7
competition
for new working models. The CCE, with its English education, can help educating and
graduating students from different countries. Some scholarships can be secured
through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Egyptian Fund for Technical
Cooperation with Africa for African students to join CCE. Other scholarships can be
offered from international donors and organizations such as UNDP, EU, and others
which are currently co-financing the Nile Basin Initiative and its communications and
information technology (CIT) programs. Those professional engineers are a goldmine
for national investment. Creative professionals, a supportive government, and a healthy
educational environment are the keystone to the success, and the fundamental to our
future achievements.

is given for the following five student levels according to the regulations of the credit
hours system of education at the Faculty of Engineering, Cairo University:
 Freshman: a student who completed less than 36 credits
 Sophomore: a student who completed more than 35 credits but less than 72 credits
 Junior: a student who completed more than 71 credits but less than 108 credits
 Senior-1: a student who completed more than 107 credits but less than 144 credits
 Senior-2: a student who completed more than 143 credits
The Communication Engineering track (CCE-E) consists of 66 courses: 60 compulsory
courses (154 credits) and 8 elective courses (21 credits). The Computer Engineering
track (CCE-C) consists of 68 courses: 63 compulsory courses (157 credits) and 7
elective courses (18 credits). The total 175 credits of two tracks of the CCE program
are distributed between lectures (LEC) and tutorials (TUT), where a tutorial is classified
as a problem solving session (PSS) and/or a practical work/laboratory session (PLS).
The one credit of a tutorial corresponds to 2-3 hours to provide sufficient practical
training for the students. Thus, the total contact hours of learning are about 278 - 280
hrs. This point is considered to be very positive from an educational point of view.

7. SAMPLE STUDY PLAN and COURSE SEQUENCE
A sample study plan for the CCE program is presented as one recommended
sequence to complete the graduation requirements over 10 main semesters, the Fall
and Spring semesters per academic year. Since the program is based on the credit
hours system of education, the student does not have to take the courses during the
semester indicated in the study plan as long as the course prerequisites are satisfied.
The CCE curriculum encourages students to interact with the industrial sector and
government agencies by offering two industrial training courses in at least two summer
sessions. Also, the curriculum gives the student the opportunity to select courses from
a number of electives. The students will be trained on teamwork and be exposed to
projects about Communication and Computer Engineering during their practical training
and graduation projects.
