During the Faculty Council session held in April 2026, chaired by Prof. Dr. Amr Abdel Salam Shaat, Dean of the Faculty, and attended by the council members, the accreditation team of the Computer Engineering and Artificial Intelligence Program (within the international programs) was honored for obtaining international accreditation from BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, UK, in recognition of their outstanding efforts.

The accreditation team includes: Dr. Dalia Selim, Dr. Betty Naguib, Dr. Ahmed Othman Badr, Dr. Amr Khaled, Dr. Ibrahim Diaa El-Din, Dr. Ahmed El-Sherbiny, and Dr. Islam El-Maddah.

The accreditation period extends from September 2024 until August 2028, with retroactive effect starting from 2021. Accordingly, this accreditation applies to graduates of the program starting from the Class of 2025 onwards.

The program has obtained:

• Full accreditation for the Full CITP (Chartered IT Professional) pathway
• Partial accreditation for the Partial CEng (Chartered Engineer) pathway

This accreditation was achieved after the program successfully passed a comprehensive evaluation process based on international academic and professional quality standards. The evaluation covered several key aspects, including: the academic content and curriculum and their alignment with the latest global standards in computing and artificial intelligence, the efficiency and expertise of faculty members in both research and practical fields, infrastructure and laboratory facilities, quality assurance systems and continuous assessment, as well as the program’s alignment with local and international labor market needs.

This accreditation represents international recognition of the program’s quality outcomes, positively impacting graduates’ employment opportunities regionally and globally, enabling them to obtain international professional memberships, and enhancing their chances of pursuing postgraduate studies at prestigious universities.

This achievement reflects the faculty’s commitment to implementing best international practices in engineering education and its dedication to linking education with industry needs, particularly in digital transformation and artificial intelligence, thereby supporting the preparation of qualified graduates capable of competing at both regional and global levels.
