The Faculty of Engineer

History

The Prime Minister's Decision No. 1142 was issued on 25/11/1976 to establish the Faculty of Engineering within the faculties of Tanta University.

In 1984, it was announced that faculty members and support staff were required to work in the college, and a number of them had already been appointed to the departments of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering.

The college did not open its doors for the following years until the beginning of the academic year 1990/1991, due to the lack of a suitable building and the lack of financial capabilities to equip the college’s workshops and laboratories.

In August 1990, Kafrelsheikh Governorate presented an offer to open the Faculty of Engineering on the governorate’s land.

The honorable people of Kafrelsheikh donated financial support from the outcome of self-efforts amounting to about 900,000 pounds to contribute to the operations of equipping the college’s workshops and laboratories.

Counselor Mahmoud Abu El-Leil, Governor of Kafrelsheikh, donated an acre of a cement brick factory to the college.

The building was inspected in September 1990 by a committee formed by the Prof. Dr. Minister of Education, which included:

      Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Fawzy, the current Chairman of the Investment Authority

      Prof. Dr. Farouk Ismail, former Vice President of Cairo University
