\u00a0The beginning was in 1886 when the engineering school was founded with two<\/p>\n
departments: Irrigation and Architectural Engineering. The study consisted of<\/p>\n
five years starting with a preparatory year to study mathematics, physics,<\/p>\n
mechanics and descriptive geometry. Although this system was canceled in 1892,<\/p>\n
its right idea reappeared thirty five years later.\u00a0 In 1927, the Royal<\/p>\n
Engineering School included four engineering departments. However, in 1930 a<\/p>\n
fifth department for basic sciences was added. Three laboratories for general<\/p>\n
physics, electronic physics and acoustics were built when the school joined the<\/p>\n
Egyptian University in 1935, and the school\u00a0 name changed to the Faculty of<\/p>\n
Engineering. The task of teaching basic sciences to engineering students was<\/p>\n
assigned to two departments\u00a0 Preparatory and Physics. During the early fifties,<\/p>\n
the two departments were united to form the Department of Mathematical and<\/p>\n
Physical Sciences. During the early sixties, the\u00a0 departmental staff members<\/p>\n
were asked to be doubly qualified with a bachelor degree of science (Mathematics<\/p>\n
or Physics) in addition to a Bachelor degree of engineering together with the<\/p>\n
Ph.D. degree. This double qualification of faculty members contributed to<\/p>\n
expanding the mission of the department to include graduate studies. The<\/p>\n
graduate program was developed steadily during the seventies and Master degrees<\/p>\n
were awarded. The name of the department was changed in 1978 to suit its<\/p>\n
aspiration to be a bridge between applied engineering and basic sciences. The<\/p>\n
new name is the \u201cDepartment of Engineering Mathematics and Physics.\u201d<\/p>\n
Growth continued during the eighties and nineties with the requirement of<\/p>\n
obtaining a B. Sc. in Mathematics or Physics which\u00a0 was replaced by the<\/p>\n
requirement of taking ten qualifying\u00a0 courses in engineering mathematics or<\/p>\n
engineering physics taught by the staff of the Department. Ph.D. degrees in<\/p>\n
engineering mathematics, engineering physics and engineering mechanics have been<\/p>\n
awarded since 1985.<\/p>\n
