In addition to the competences for Graduates from Ain Shams University and all Engineering Programs, the Water Engineering and Hydraulic Structures Program graduate must be able to:

• Select appropriate and sustainable technologies for construction of buildings, infrastructures and water structures; using either numerical techniques or physical measurements and/or testing by applying a full range of civil engineering concepts and techniques of: Structural Analysis and Mechanics, Properties and Strength of Materials, Surveying, Soil Mechanics and Fluid Mechanics.
• Achieve an optimum design of Reinforced Concrete and Steel Structures, Foundations and Earth Retaining Structures; and at least three of the following civil engineering topics: Transportation and Traffic, Roadways and Airports, Railways, Sanitary Works, Irrigation, Water Resources and Harbours; or any other emerging field relevant to the discipline.
• Plan and manage construction processes; address construction defects, instability and quality issues; and maintain safety measures in construction and materials.
• Deal with biddings, contracts and financial issues including project insurance and guarantees; and assess environmental impacts of civil engineering projects.
• Identify principles in the fields of fluid mechanics, hydraulics, irrigation and drainage, hydrology, water resources, and apply principles of GIS in water engineering.
• Design and analyse crossing structures, control structures, navigation structures, harbour structures, storage work and produce civil drawings.
• Consider environmental issues in hydraulics, coastal engineering, ground water and surface water hydrology, river engineering, water quality, climate change, conduct field and laboratory measurements, and assess environmental impact of water engineering projects.
• Plan and design irrigation and drainage systems, hydraulic networks, sustainable drainage systems and pump stations.
• Demonstrate knowledge in the fields of water concrete structures, foundation of water structures, sanitary works, roadways and transportation systems and their codes of practice and standards.
• Use some computer programs and information technology in the field of water engineering and hydraulic structures.
