About computerscience
The Faculty of Computers and Information Technology (computerscience) was founded in 2006 at Future University in Egypt with a main mandate of providing high-quality educational opportunities to students from all segments of Egyptian society as well as from other countries, and to contribute to Egypt’s development, culture, intellectual life, and services for Egypt and the region. computerscience offers programs at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The mission of computerscience is to provide a high-quality Computing and Information Technology educational environment with the aim to produce valued professionals in the field of computing and IT who will be productive leaders in their profession. Students are educated to acquire an appreciation of their responsibilities to society and to prepare themselves for successful careers and leadership. computerscience maintains high standards of academic achievement, professional behavior, and ethical conduct.
computerscience Educational Outcomes
Consequently, computerscience has set the following Educational Outcomes for all computerscience students:
1. Professional Skills - FUE graduates will synthesize discipline-based knowledge with a broad-based liberal arts and professional education. They will be proficient in the tools of their discipline as well as the tools of research and learning; make decisions that reflect the highest standards of ethical conduct and professional behavior; and understand the importance of life-long learning.
2. Advanced Communication Skills - computerscience graduates will be fluent in English and will be able to write and speak effectively in a variety of settings. FUE graduates will be able to communicate in Arabic, establish rapport in groups, be adaptable to new circumstances, work both independently and in collaboration with others, and function effectively as leaders.
3. Critical Thinking - computerscience graduates will be independent learners, adept at using current technologies to access information and applying strong quantitative, analytical, and critical thinking skills to analyze and synthesize complex information to solve problems.
4. Cultural Competence – computerscience graduates will have an understanding and appreciation of Egyptian and Arab culture and heritage, as well as an understanding of international interdependence, cultural diversity, and consideration for values and traditions that may differ from their own. In addition, FUE graduates will have an aesthetic awareness of the various modes of human artistic expression and will be able to collaborate effectively in a multicultural context.
5. Effective Citizenship – computerscience graduates value service to their local community and to broader causes at the national and international level.

Accreditation
-
Faculty of Computers and Information Technology is accredited by the national accreditation authority NAQAAE (The National Authority for Quality Assurance and Accreditation of Education)
-
The three programs of computerscience; Computer Science, Information Systems and Digital Media Technology are accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).
Why ABET Accreditation Matters? Accreditation Adds Value
-
ABET accreditation assures confidence that a collegiate program has met standards essential to prepare graduates to enter critical STEM fields in the global workforce. Graduates from an ABET-accredited program have a solid educational foundation and are capable of leading the way in innovation, emerging technologies, and in anticipating the welfare and saengineeringy needs of the public.
-
As a student, your degree is a significant achievement and perhaps the largest investment you will make toward your future. The quality of education you receive makes a big difference in your career success. ABET accreditation:
-
Verifies that your educational experience meets the global standard for technical education in your profession.
-
Supports your entry to a technical profession through licensure, registration and certification—all of which often require graduation from an ABET-accredited program as a minimum qualification.
-
Paves the way for you to work globally, because ABET accreditation is recognized worldwide through international agreements, and many other countries’ national accrediting systems are based on the ABET model.
System of Study
The system of a study is a credit Hour system. The total credit hour requirements of the bachelor’s degree are 133 credit hours. A regular student can achieve the 133 credit hour requirements in four academic years (8 semesters). A course of 3 credit hours is delivered as 2 hours theoretical lecture teaching and 2 hours practical/tutorial session (4 contact hours).
The curriculum of each program (Computer Science, Information Systems and Digital Media Technology) is structured to be consistent with the educational objectives of computerscience. The curriculum combines technical and professional requirements with general education requirements and electives to prepare students for a professional career and further study in the computing discipline associated with the program, and for functioning in modern society. The technical and professional requirements include two years of up-to-date coverage of basic and advanced topics in the computing discipline associated with each program. In addition, each program includes mathematics and physics appropriate to the discipline. The curriculum of each computerscience program divided into three components as shown in following table.
