centuries, grow men ”. - Chinese Proverb Strategic planning, is an essential first step in the development of a results-based educational system.
Generically, it is defined here as the process of addressing the following questions: (1)
Who and where are we ? Where do we want to be ? And What do we have to focus on? How do we get there?
‫كلية الهندسة والتكنولوجيا‬
“ If you are planning for one year, grow rice. If you are planning for 20 years grow trees. If you are planning for
rational, it is often iterative and evolves substantially over time. Further, it is subject to several external influences and
will be modified accordingly.
The first phase in the strategic planning process is to address the college history, data and figures which allows the
determination of the current status. This will lead to determine the vision, mission and stakeholders. Answering the
question of what we have to work with involves considerations of strengths and weaknesses and the determination of
how to capitalize on strengths. This is achieved through the application of a SWOT analysis.
The next phase in the planning process is the determination of priorities and basic issues. These issues indicate the
focuses of the college in the planning horizon.
The third phase is the articulation of goals and objectives that indicate the desired long term conditions of the college
and its intended future direction.
After determining the objectives, the plan must address means of reaching the objectives. This phase involves
generating policies for achieving results. Policies should reflect the strengths and weaknesses and are then incorporated
In an action plan(s) which includes metrics , recourses needed and a time frame .

science and the graduate studies in engineering disciplines.
Similar to other academic entities of the AASTMT, we strictly apply the quality policy and
assurance system of ISO 9001-2008 which effectively and efficiently guarantees the highest
attainable eminence of world class engineering education.
Further, the programs offered by the College are acknowledged by the Supreme Council of
Egyptian Universities (SCU) on 1996 and renewed on 2002 and 2007, respectively.
On the other hand, the year 2005 marks a significant milestone for the College, as the full
accreditation from the British Professional Engineering institutions were obtained, namely ;
(IMechE), (IMarEST), (IET), (ICE), (IStructE), and (IHT) for all the engineering programs, beside
the accreditation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) parts 1 and 2 for our
architectural engineering program.
It is a main concern to keep our programs in pace with developing technologies and to seek
innovative methods to recruit, hire, develop, and retain faculty with excellent teaching and
research capabilities.

Committee's meetings on 11th of March, 1970.
This notion came after the Arab League's Council issued, in its fifty third session, decree no.
2631/1970 stipulating the endorsement of founding a regional center for maritime transport
training. The decree commissioned the Arab Republic of Egypt, on behalf of all the Arab
countries, to ask for a technical aid from the United Nations' organizations specialized in the
field of maritime transport.
By the end of 1971, the United Nations delegated a joint committee of its concerned
organizations to study the region's need for this project.
The committee highlighted the necessity of founding a regional institute for maritime
training in addition to providing adequate aid for that purpose.
Consequently, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) approved funding 3.2 million
dollars on the condition that the participant Arab countries contribute a sum of 8.25 million
Egyptian pounds during a period of five years.
Moreover, after visiting many of the region's countries, the committee selected the city of
Alexandria, known for its great cultural legacy, as a location for the new academy because
of its important geographical location, which is in the middle of the whole Arab region, as
well as the abundance of the qualified personnel available.

Establishing the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT), as
10
establishment in 1972; where, students were offered the opportunity of engineering
education through enrolment and registration at the Department of Trade and Commerce,
College of Maritime Transport and Technology. In a further attempt to develop its
educational system, AASTMT took the initiative of granting Bachelor's degrees in Engineering
to its students upon successfully taking a four-and-half-year academic program, instead of
the six-year program that was originally offered in accordance with a ministerial decree 215
of 1974, after which they are granted a Certificate of Second Marine Engineer. In 1975,
AASTMT adopted the Credit-Hour System. The efforts of specialized committees resulted in
designing new curricula for the students who were admitted in October 1977 .
Programs offering Bachelor’s degree were soon put into effect after the implementation of
the Credit Hour System. The Supreme Council of Universities issued two decrees (numbered
4 of 1984 and 11 of 1985) stating that the Bachelor's degrees granted by AASTMT are
equivalent to those granted by other Egyptian State Universities in similar specialties.
AASTMT started granting the following Bachelor's degrees in Engineering:
1) Bachelor of Marine Engineering Technology
2) Bachelor of Marine Electronic Engineering Technology
3) Bachelor of Maritime Transport (Commercial)

‫كلية الهندسة والتكنولوجيا‬
In order to meet the challenges of its growing institutional needs, AASTMT established the
force of the educational process and its source of creativity and innovation. Second, that
the educational activities should challenge students intellectual abilities and stimulate
discussion and new ideas, whether these educational activities are carried out in university
lecture rooms, laboratories or workshops.
Undergraduate Studies
Since its inauguration in 1991, COET comprised four different departments :
1) Marine Engineering
2) Electronics and Computer Engineering
3) Electrical and Control Engineering
4) Basic and Applied Science
In 1993, the department of Mechanical Engineering was established followed by the
establishment of other two departments in 1994; namely, the department of Construction
and Building Engineering and the department of Industrial and Management Engineering.
In 1997, the Architectural Engineering and Environmental Design program was initiated
followed by the Computer Engineering program in October 1999.

internal factors. Opportunities and threats are external factors. From that perspective, It
has been considered as a standardized stage of planning that helps the college to focus on
key issues.
A SWOT analysis team has been formed as a sub-committee within the strategic planning
team of the college.
The college strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT Analysis) were
identified by members of the SWOT analysis team. This team has been formed to pursue
the study format and questionnaires.
On the other hand, faculty, students and administration with other stakeholders provided
inputs.
A standard SWOT analysis template is then used to compile the results of the study.
The SWOT analysis results are then used to develop the strategic priorities which are the
college principal issues. These priorities helped to define strategic directions important to
the college in the next five year.
The SWOT analysis considered the central and founding role of the College of Engineering
and Technology among other colleges and institutes which form the Academy’s higher
education perspective. Thus some of the issues addressed here after are by default
related to AASTMT as a unique and specialized organization of its kind.

different colleges, institutions and universities all over the world. Such agreements offer the
opportunity to improving and strengthening the undergraduate and the graduate program.
Student and faculty exchange programs together with joint research projects and theses
supervision are the main themes of those agreements.
1- Need for Refined Rules for Students Admission
The quality of students applying to the college must be taken into consideration to meet the
perspectives aimed by the college policy. A more selective system for admission is thought
having the high rate of demand on the college. Although the current facilities and resources
are sufficient , however the maturity of the college, its faculty, and stage of development
necessitate further effort in this connection.
2- Lack of Scientific Research Mechanism
The college lacks financial support and funding devoted to competitive world class
research. Research strategies , mechanisms and operational plans, and themes are vital.
Faculty travel, conference participation, training on technologies should be provided.

15- Diverse Agreements with International Universities
45
including staff and students as well as increasing fund for developing different laboratories
and workshops considering the rapid increase in technology steps.
4- The proportion of faculty members to the part time and staff
The number of faculty in some college programs are currently insufficient. This means that
students are overexposed to the same faculty. The college lack immediate opportunity for
local interaction with a variety of colleagues in the same field. This situation will be
improved when expanding the base of the faculty. Also, the ratio of instructional-toadministrative support should remain at certain level.
5- Link with Alumni Association and post-graduate plans
It is necessary for the Alumni association to represent an important like to the marketopportunities for the college graduates. Also, it can help through continuous guiding the
undergraduates with the market needs and potentials.
6- The development of skills and capabilities of employees
Skill development for technical and administrative staff are needed. Short and long term
plans to improve staff capabilities in areas related to soft skills, communications, and e-
business support are required

consideration. it may lead to a more stable behavior for all staff and would increasing
loyalty and job satisfaction to the college and the Academy.
8- Financial support for practical training for students and projects
The college should ensure different and diverse ways of financial support for undergraduate
students for completing their training with other giant entities. This can be done through
short and long term plans.
9- The Call for massive Parking lots
Limited area for car parking may influence the teaching process in a way that the faculty
member may not be in class on time leading to incomplete teaching process finally. Also, the
rate of accidents-making process may be evolved due to such situation reflecting bad
behavior between students. This situation must be taken with high priority to be solved.
10- Access to campus
Off-campus instructional outreach and all ways to the campus necessitate considerable
investment in travel expense. Distance can also hinder collaboration with other system
institutions and full participation in performance of system- wide responsibilities.

cultural benefits to the regional community surrounding it. The regional outreach that is
provided for community, economic and professional development should be considered as an
important part of the college mission.
12- Relatively low wage levels Salaries Compared to other organizations
The staff classification system and faculty salary plan should be regularly reviewed and
revised and consistently implemented. Systematically determined salary adjustments for
faculty and staff address issues of internal equity and external competition.
13- Increasing the number of students admissions
The increasing number of applying students as it is taken as a strength point yet it may
represent a weak point in the future since the size of buildings and labs as well as workshops
will be affected by the large number of students. A volume-number ratio should be planned
and taken into consideration so as to avoid intensive number of students in the campus.
14- The College Budget
The College budget is mainly dependent on tuition fees. The budgetary items related to
recruitment, facility upgrading, training and research are restricted by such a fact.
Sustaining top-quality programs together with retaining and recruiting distinct faculty are

organization with unique functions . The college must take the opportunity and make an
advantage for both students and staff for improving their capabilities and developing their
skills through offering wide range of agreements with different entities using the
organization’s name.
2- The presence of industrial Zones in Alexandria
Deals must be made with different industrial entities located within Alexandria and benefits
must be made through obtaining training opportunities possible to improve the under
graduates quality.
3- Members of the faculty abroad
Faculty members located abroad can play an important role in developing the college in both
scientific and technological points of view. Also, they can offer different opportunities other
colleagues to join them at their place as a chance for improvement.
4- Periodic Global and local conferences
The Academy and all its entities are continuously organizing periodic international and local
events and conferences . This would offer opportunities for the college to have a well
established name in scientific research and maximize the chance for different funds offered

should be used and employed for the sake of developing the potential of the college.
6- The Weak Proliferation of Competitors
Opportunity must be taken into consideration where all private college in Alexandria still in
their first steps to maximize the potential of the college and move forward flying away from
our competitors.
7- Shorter Administrative Links and Fast Decision Making
The College as one of the core educational affiliates and like other entities of the academy
enjoys direct and shorter links with the presidency . No routine or bureaucratic delays or
other administrative sit backs that would hinder fast and effective decision making. Flexible,
however transparent , management systems affects to a great extent the competitiveness of
the college.
8- Agreements at the regional and international level
Different agreements at the international and Arab market level should be committed,
developed and offered at the undergraduate and post graduate levels as well as the faculty
members to achieve high quality of teaching and practicing opportunities which is reflected
on the academic structure as well as infrastructure bases.

staff headed to the campus since it affects the uniformity and regularity of the educational
process. The time loss due to overcrowd and traffic jam in the way to the campus leads to
obstacles to achieving the college mission.
2- The proliferation of private universities
The expected growing number of private universities could represent a threat to the college
competitiveness. As many choices would be available to new entrants.
3- Rapid Progress in Technology and Innovation
For a college that seeks international recognition and ranking, the rapid expanding and
acceleration of progress in all fields of technology and education signifies a challenge for the
college to keep up with such progress and development.
4- Weakness of Pre-University Education
High standard of the educational system adopted by the college is hindered by the low level
of the pre-university educational system nation wide. The overall lack of preparedness in
math and science enforces the college and its departments to put exceptional effort and
resources to improve the level of students in order to match the college requirements.

6- Image and Perception
As the college is striving for international cooperation with world class institutions, the
unjustified image, and perception of our region represents a setback.
7- The distinct programs in public (State) universities
The new (distinct) programs within the existing state universities, since they are financially
supported by tuition fees, would solve some of the problems related to overcrowded, lack of
resources and less competent facilities of those universities.

streams of the college’s focus during the next period of time. Those issues are the
recommendations which have been reported by the SWOT analysis, in addition to opinions
of members of the strategic planning committee, and the college Council.
The order of those priorities is by no means a reflection of the importance of a given

confidence behavior, we are open to international cooperation with reputed , and top tanked
academic institutions all over the globe, as long as its beneficial to our students, faculty, the
college and AASTMT. The college of Engineering will develop exceptional effort to establish
strong international ties. A number of MOU’s have been already developed with high-profile
foreign institutions, which could grant a strong base for long lasting cooperative endeavors.
Areas of collaboration are in three main directions; students exchange, faculty exchange, and
joint research projects whether in degree-based or no degrees projects.
The college will
continue these efforts during the next period, since it is a landmark for our competitiveness.

undergraduate students, staff, labs, and other facilities to be dedicated to sustain progress
in specific research areas.
Meanwhile, Inter, cross and multidisciplinary type of collaborations between departments
and faculty are essential via an active college structure and knowledge.
Despite the growth which has been achieved so far in total college research through out the
last two years, more focused efforts are needed to establish research trends, schools and
colours.
One way to do this is by determining the major axes of the college research directions. Such
axes are primarily aligned with the nation’s major research themes, in addition to local and
regional demand.
Further, those axes coincide with the college capabilities, competitive advantage and
capacity building initiatives. The research areas are by no means related to specific
departments or entity within the college organization structure, but it should be considered
as a collective effort for the entire college.

funding is expected to come from multi facets international projects like Tempus and Arab
funding bodies (e.g. Qatar research Foundation). The engineering center for consultation,
research and community services (ECCRCS) will play a role in supporting renovation of some
lab facilities specially those for Construction Engineering and Materials. Two of the most
exciting growth areas in the College are the emerging, highly visible and highly crossdisciplinary research strengths in Electrical Engineering, and in Energy and Environmental
Sustainability. And Architectural engineering
The strategy will require investments from the College of Engineering, from the central
administration, from new revenue streams , and from fund-raising from alumni and business
community. The plan anticipates resources for recruiting and retaining faculty, creation and
maintenance of high-quality research and educational resources, establishing stable funding
for our graduate students seeking PH.D. from local and international universities, funding for
major building projects related to student-faculty space.
