3 Program Admission Requirements

1. The students are admitted to the College of Engineering on the

basis of their general secondary school certificate record (or

equivalent).

2. Transfer applicants from accredited universities and academies.

4 Regulations for Progression and Program Completion

The program of Construction Engineering is completed in ten terms in

average, where students desiring to apply in the program enroll the first

term. In the first and second terms, all the courses are submitted by basics

science department.

The Enrollment Conditions

Enrollment is allowable for students carrying the Mathematics-major

General Secondary Certificate, or something equivalent to it. It is also

allowable for the students transferred from other faculties according to the

rules set by the Supreme Private Universities Council. The faculty sets

general rules for admission while giving the priority to the student’s desire

and providing equal chances for everybody.

The Study System

The study scheme is according to the credit hour system, while the

teaching hours can be estimated as follow: One credit hour is equivalent to:

1 hr. lecture – 2 hrs, tutorial and 3 hrs,Laboratory. The study is carried out

in English languages.

The Study Duration and Enrollment

The academic year is divided into three semesters as follow:

First (fall) Semester:

Starts at the third week of September and lasts for 15 weeks.

Second (spring) Semester:

Starts at the second week of February and lasts for 15 weeks.

81

Summer Semester:

Starts at the third week of June and lasts for 8 weeks.

Any student can be enrolled into any of these phases during the three

weeks that precede the beginning of any semester after fulfilling the

enrollment conditions and payment of the determined fees.

The Study Duration

On the average, study lasts for 10 semesters. Students attending summer

courses can complete his transcript one semester earlier at most. The

maximum allowed periods for study is 16 semesters. During this extended

period, the student should register for the minimum limit of credit hours for

each semester and student must pass his final exams as well.

The Requirements of Study According to The Credit Hour

System

The study requirements are divided into three parts, each includes a set of

compulsory credit hours and optional ones as follow:

The University Requirements: The student should pass the

university requirements presented in the form of humanities, social

science, general culture, information technology, and English

language courses. Those courses last for 20 hours including 10

obligatory hours and 10 elective ones.

The Faculty Requirements: The student should pass the faculty

requirements presented in a form of basic science and general

engineering science. It is essential for every student to study those

courses, which represent for 39 credit hours.

Specialization Requirements: The student should pass the

requirements of specialization presented in a form of specialist

courses of engineering science, applications, and design beside

other requirements essential for the main specialization. Those

requirements represent for 114 credit hours; 96 compulsory and 18

elective.

82

Credit Hour System Requirements for Achieving B. Sc.

Degree

To achieve the B. Sc. Degree in Engineering with credit hour system,

the student should pass 173 credit hours according to the

requirements and with grade points average not less than 2.

The student must present a graduation project, as it is clear in this

program specification that can be divided into 2 semesters. Student

cannot graduate without fulfilling the passing conditions of this project.

The student must attend summer training for at least 8 weeks (through

one or two separate intervals) in any servicing or manufacturing

institutes related to his specialization, either inside or outside his

country. This must be carried out under the supervision of the faculty.

In addition, the student has to present a detailed faculty-certificated

report concerning the training.

The Academic Guide

The head of department appoints an academic advisor for each student

upon his admission. This academic advisor is to be one of the staff

members and continues with the student until his graduation. The

academic advisor follows up the student’s performance and helps him

choose the appropriate courses for each semester.

The Registration Conditions

Each student applies for registering courses every semester after

fulfilling the conditions of registration for each course. This registration

will not be considered as final until paying the fees of educational

service (after consulting the academic advisor). The fees and the

payment times are announced each semester according to the

specified time of registration and the rules decided upon by the faculty

annually and published in the student’s guidance book.

It is allowed for the student to register for the first and the second

semesters for 21 credit hours as a maximum. In case student

achieves a grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 or more, student will be

83

able to register for 18 credit hours or more without exceeding the limit

of 21 credit hours in the following semester.

The student can register for not more than 9 credit hours in the

summer semester.

When the student’s GPA is less than 1.00, the academic advisor puts

him/her under supervision along the next semester, during which the

registered hours are lowered to the allowed minimum of 12 credit

hours. The student might remain under supervision for two successive

semesters, or even for a third one after approval of the academic

advisor. The student moves out of observation situation upon getting a

GPA over 1.00 (while considering the maximum limit of semesters).

The student, who is late for registration dates, cannot register for any

courses unless there is an available place. The faculty may impose a

charge fees for this delay besides the academic service fees.

The student cannot register for any new course until passing the

prerequisite ones.

The student can register as an audience in some courses, if there is a

place for them, after paying the appropriate fees decided by the

faculty, and after the registration of the regular students. Audient

students cannot attend the exams or obtain certificates of the courses

they have attended.

The Conditions of add end drop, and Withdrawal

The student can change courses which had already registered for, by

others within two weeks from the beginning of the fall or spring

semester. This does not apply to the summer semester.

The student may withdraw from any course with no fees back, within

eight weeks right from the onset of the first and the second semesters,

and four weeks from the onset of the summer semester.

The student, who wants to withdraw from any semester because of

illness or any other excuse accepted by the faculty, to fill in an

application form and submit it to the Students’ Affairs Department.

Then student can get the faculty’s approval of his withdrawal and has

to repeat the registered courses in a later semester after paying for the

determined educational fees.

The student can register again for any failed-to-pass course. In this

case, student has to re-study this course and re-attend its exams, and

to pay for the determined fees of educational service.

84

The student can get back his fees, if student withdraws within two

weeks from the onset of study of the fall and/or spring semesters, and

only one week for the summer semester

5 Evaluation of Program Intended Learning Outcomes:

Marks of each course are distributed among the following: attendance,

oral and written exams, mid-term and final exam.

Each semester ends with a final written exam with a weight not less

than 40% of the total marks, except courses determined by Curricula

such as the Graduation Project, Seminars, and Researches.

Each course will include a mid-term written exam with a weight not

less than 20% of the total course marks, except courses defined by

Curricula such as researches and summer training.

Student attendance must be at least 75%, so as to be allowed to enter

the exam.

The student is going to fail his exam, if student gets less than 50% out

of the total course marks, does not attend the final written exam due to

prohibition or does not attend and the faculty does not accept his

excuse.

The academic advisor might encourage the student to repeat some

courses, which the student has already passed, so as to improve his

CGPA in order to fulfill the graduation requirements. In case of

repeating the course, the student should repeat study and

examinations of the course with grade not more than B+.
