Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design

Program Overview

The Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design program at AASTMT equips students with the knowledge and skills to design and manage sustainable built environments.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design (AEED) program at the Arab Academy for Science & Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) aims to prepare engineers specialized in architecture and environmental design. The program was established in 1997 to address the growing need for housing, public buildings, and urban services in Egypt and the Arab world. The program's objectives include:

• Addressing the challenges of upgrading, renewal, and development of deteriorated areas.
• Creating new towns and settlements.
• Addressing problems of restoration, preservation, conservation, and enhancement of the built heritage.
• Meeting the demands of the Egyptian and Arab societies as well as the regional and international market.
