Course Name: Advanced Design of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures (CENG 4154)
Instructor: Ezzeldin Yazeed
Course Description: In this course, we won’t just solve equations; we’ll tackle real-world challenges:
- Can you imagine leading a team or making a decision on a critical structure using the latest design software and code of practice?
- How do engineers design huge prestressed concrete beams that span airports, bridges, or long roofs without cracking under heavy loads?
- What does it take to ensure a concrete tank or water-retaining structure stays watertight under harsh conditions?
- How do you choose the right structural system when cost, code of practice, safety, aesthetics, and other disciplines all compete for influence?

Course Name: Digital Representation Tools for Architects (ARCH 273/1521)
Instructor: Tamer El Khouly
Course Description: This course introduces students to the foundations of digital representation as a core skill in architectural education. It emphasises the integration of conventional projection methods with contemporary digital tools—such as Rhinoceros, Revit, and Photoshop—to foster both technical proficiency and creative exploration. Students learn to think digitally, develop three-dimensional models, and communicate their ideas through professional drawings, renderings, and presentation boards. Beyond technical training, the course highlights Building Information Modelling (BIM) as a collaborative and innovative approach to design. By the end of the course, students gain the precision, creativity, and confidence needed to pursue advanced design studios, supporting their readiness to declare the architecture major or to advance in the Architecture or Interior Design minors.
