President’s Word 3

The world is witnessing a new era that reflects all the massive
changes and developments caused by technological advancement
in all aspects of science. We believe that for the Arab World
to obtain power and glory, it has to resort to scientific and
technological development. The Academy plays a major national
role in raising generations of youths who can deal with the outside
world using modern tools of technology. Such role encourages
youths to comprehend and master sciences of the future which
in all will enhance their creativity.

Since its existence, the Academy was determined to assure


its Arab identity. In doing so, it always took the lead in taking
up new science and technology fields to achieve the goals set
in its grounds for Quality and Productivity studies, research
and services, Computer literacy, Multimodal Transportation
and Logistics, participation in training on Crisis and Disaster
management, in addition to implementing the latest techniques
in using Multimedia to serve educational, training and research
processes. The Academy also pioneered in connecting the Arab
world with Developed Countries in the field of Informatics,
establishing the rules for the International Olympiad in Informatics,
and Robotics.

As we are on the threshold of a new era, the Academy - being a house of expertise and a successful example of
mutual Arab co-operation - takes on a new distinguished role of development on he Arab countries and using the latest
techniques to implement those requirements , which will lead the Arab youths to a powerful position through discipline,
morals, technology, and harmless knowledge.

We thank God Almighty for the success and grace He granted us. We pray that the Almighty upholds the Arab nation and
guide its youths to always support the Arab World.

Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design

The increase of population in Egypt and most


Arab countries has considerably increased the
need for housing, public buildings, and urban
services. On the other hand several problems
appear, such as: upgrading, renewal, development
of deteriorated areas, creation of new towns and
settlements as well as problems of restoration,
preservation, conservation, and enhancement
of the built heritage. These problems led to a
tremendous increase in the national investment
in building and construction and consequently the
need for professionals in this field.The preparation
of engineers specialized in architecture and
environmental design is necessary for the
pursuit and success of the national building and
construction policy.
To cope with the needs of the Egyptian and Arab
societies as well as the regional and international
market demands, the College of Engineering and
Technology at the Arab Academy for Science &
Technology & Maritime Transport, decided in
2000 to establish a department of Architectural
Engineering and Environmental Design.

Basic and Applied Science

Students of science are probably sometimes


puzzled by the terms Basic and Applied science.
Are these two totally different activities, having
little or no interconnection, as is often implied?
Basic, or pure, Science is primarily connected
with the development of theories (or as they are
frequently called, models) establishing relationships
between phenomena and the universe. When
they are sufficiently validated, these theories
(hypotheses, models) became the working laws
or principles of science.
44

Applied science, on the other hand, is directly


connected with the application of the working laws
of pure science to the practical affairs of life. In order
to increase man’s control over his environment thus
leading to the development of new techniques,
processes and machines, such activities as investigating
the strength and uses of materials, extending the
findings of pure mathematics to improve the sampling
procedures used in agriculture or the potentialities
of atomic energy. All are examples of the work the
applied scientist or technologist achieve.

It is evident that many branches of purely theoretical


or experiment work. Thus the study of radio activity
began as a piece of basic research, but its results are
now applied in a great number ways, for instance the
study of metal fatigue. Conversely, working in applied
science and technology frequently acts as a direct
stimulus to the development of pure or basic science.

It seems, then two branches of science are mutually


dependent and interacting, and that the so-called
division between the basic and the applied scientist
is real.
Basic and Applied Science includes five major
disciplines: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics
and Humanities which are the base of all work done in
the engineering departments.
The objectives of the Basic and Applied Sciences
department include:
uForming a base for specialized studies in all educational

programs.
uOffering advanced and applied courses for B. Eng., B.

Industrial and Management Engineering is a broad


professional discipline concerned with the design,
control and management of integrated systems
and procedures for organizing the resources of
production – people, materials, equipment and
information – to achieve specific objectives.
The complexity of modern industrial and
service organizations with their emphasis on
competitiveness and quality increased their need
for effectiveness and higher productivity. The
extensive use of automation and computerization
has led to an increased demand for a new breed
of Industrial Engineering graduates. Although
the discipline is relatively a new professional
area developed during the past three decades,
it is already one of the largest rapidly growing
engineering professions.

Light Structures Laboratory
The objective of the experimental tests taking place in
the light structures laboratory is to provide students
with the necessary information to understand the
theory of structures basics using modern tools that
are available in the lab. The laboratory includes various
devices for applying the required experimental tests
such as bending of beams, torsion of circular rods,
buckling of columns, and deflection of beams. Students
are supplied with booklets showing the different
experiments steps and the procedure for obtaining
results. Students are required to submit a final report
showing in engineering curves the outputs of the
experiments and their comments. The light structures
laboratory can serve the courses of post-graduate
studies and researches in the scope of the structural
behaviour of light structures. Moreover, the laboratory
may help the building and construction industry
through performing the needed researches concerning
the light structures.

Libraries
Since its inception in 1972, the Arab Academy
for Science & Technology, and Maritime Transport
(AASTMT) saved no effort in supporting the
educational process. And because academic libraries
play a major role in supporting educational activities
and enriching the academic life of students and faculty
members, AASTMT established a specialized library
in order to make use of the information published in
different media.
Due to the change in the role libraries play in the
information field in general, and the academic field
in particular, the Library’s name changed to “Libraries
& Information Services Centre” A change that was
crucial due to the emergence of new information
resources - in addition to books - and the growing
reliance on diverse information sources that meet
users’’ information needs.
The Centre serves the academic community in all
branches of the Academy. It consists of: The Main
Library (Abu-Qir), Architecture Library (Abu-Qir),
Maritime Library (Abu-Qir), Management Library
(Miami), Graduate School of Business Library -
Alexandria (Miami), Sheraton Engineering Library,
Sheraton Management & Logistics Library, Dokki
Management & Logistics Library, Graduate School of
Business Library (Sheraton), Port Saeed Library, Smart
Village Library, Wabour Elmaya Library, and Ganoub
Elwadi Library.
The libraries are all connected through online
interactive terminals to ensure easy access to
the centre’s in-house database. In order to offer
a distinguished information service, the Centre
established an integrated information system that
facilitates direct search through a computerized
catalogue and electronic databases.
