Program
Description
Due the evolution in the field of Computing and Information
Technology and the increasing reliance on it by individuals,
organizations, and businesses, this modern science has become
crucial and a cornerstone in all modern life aspects. Therefore,
AASTMT has established the College of Computing and Information
Technology (CCIT) in 2003, which specializes in Computer Science,
Information Systems, Software Engineering, Multimedia and
Computer Graphics ،and Cybersecurity. However, the roots of the
college extend back to 2001, when the Computer Science
Department started to offer its program through the Computer
Engineering Department as part of the College of Engineering and
Technology, AASTMT.
The CCIT aims to develop a generation of computing professionals
that could harness innovation with creativity through state-of-the-art
facilities, top notch faculty, internationally accredited educational
programs, training opportunities and capacity building programs. Our
students are inspired to formulate innovative diverse computing
solutions for real-world problems to become the next generation of
entrepreneurs or be well qualified to secure competitive local,
regional, and global computing career opportunities.
Since its establishment, the CCIT maintains sound relationships with
a number of universities inside and outside Egypt for cooperation in
both undergraduate studies and supervision of postgraduate studies
and research work. Moreover, CCIT has built a number of beneficial
relationships with several specialized governmental and private
companies in the Egyptian market, to tackle the emerging trends in
the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) industry.
CCIT offers opportunities for further career development through a
diverse range of postgraduate studies including diploma, Master of
Computing, Master of Science, and Ph.D. programs.
The CCIT is located in Abu Qir campus, AASTMT’s main campus in
Alexandria, Heliopolis campus in Cairo, Smart Village campus, and
South Valley campus.
Computer science is one of the programs offered by CCIT. Program
aims to develop a generation that could harness innovation with
creativity through hands on the most recent programming design
methodologies and facilities our students are inspired to discover
innovative solutions for any real problem. The program graduates are
capable of acquiring numerous career opportunities and competing in
several international competitions to become the next generation of
entrepreneurs.
