BRIEF
The Higher Institute of Engineering in 6th of
October City was established by Ministerial Decree No. (1404) on 18 October
1994. The Institute operates under the Heliopolis Nozha Cultural Association
and the Culture and Science City (csi.edu.eg).
The Institute offers two specialized programs leading to the Bachelor of Engineering degree in:
- Construction
and Building Engineering
(CBE)
- Mechatronics
Engineering (MTE)
The Institute’s academic regulations were approved by the Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research under Ministerial Decree No. (1255) dated 10 October 2020. An earlier version of the regulations was approved under Ministerial Decree No. (163) dated 19 March 2018.
- Construction
and Building Engineering Department: Ministerial Decree No. (159), dated 29 May 2023.
- Mechatronics
Engineering Department:
Ministerial Decree No. (160), dated 29 May 2023.
The Institute follows the credit‑hour system,
structured over five academic levels (five years). Students begin with a
general first-year curriculum and then specialize in one of the two engineering
disciplines starting from the second level.
All academic programs comply with the reference framework issued by the Engineering Studies Sector Committee of the Supreme Council of Universities (scu.eg) and adhere to the academic standards set by the National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education (NAQAAE) (naqaae.eg).
To earn the Bachelor’s degree, students must successfully complete no more than 180 credit hours. The curriculum is offered in English language to ensure global academic and professional compatibility.
The Institute previously offered the Bachelor
of Science (B.Sc.) degree in four engineering disciplines:
- Construction
and Building Engineering (CBE) — Active Program
- Information and
Computer Engineering (ICE)
- Administrative
Industrial Engineering (AIE)
- Mechatronics
Engineering (MTE) — Active Program
Recently, the Institute streamlined its
engineering offerings and now focuses on two core engineering disciplines:
- Construction
and Building Engineering (CBE)
- Mechatronics
Engineering (MTE)
ACCREDITATION
The Institute’s five-year undergraduate
engineering programs are accredited by the Supreme Council of Universities
(scu.eg) in Egypt. The curriculum is supervised and periodically reviewed
by the Egyptian Ministry of Higher Education.
