Since the Higher Institute of Engineering and the Department of Communications and Computer Engineering (Electronics and Communications Engineering Program - Computer and Control Engineering Program) were founded in 1995 by Ministerial Resolution No. 1712, issued by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research on November 22, 1995, the department possesses a unique historical connection. At the time, the institute included five departments, including the Department of Communications and Computer Engineering, and its headquarters were located at the 10th of Ramadan City. Then, at the start of the second semester of the academic year 1999/2000, the Higher Institute of Engineering relocated to its new headquarters in the Nakhil suburb of Shorouk City, following the Ministry of Higher Education's approval of the transfer through Ministerial Resolution No. (712) dated 5/31/2000.

Since its establishment in 1995, the Department of Communications and Computer Engineering has remained committed to providing high-quality engineering education, advancing scientific research and innovation, and preparing qualified engineers to keep pace with rapid technological advancements. The Department offers two academic programs: Electronics and Communications Engineering, and Computer and Control Engineering. The Department provides an integrated academic environment that combines education, practical application, research, and innovation, supported by well-developed infrastructure and specialized laboratories. We strive to enhance our students’ knowledge and skills, embrace emerging technologies, foster creativity and lifelong learning, and align education and scientific research with the needs of industry and the labor market. The Department also draws strength from its academic community and collaboration with academic, professional, and industrial institutions, enhancing the quality of education and expanding opportunities for learning, development, and innovation. Building on the Department’s history and experience, we look forward to continuing our pursuit of excellence in education, scientific research, and community service, while leveraging knowledge and technology to address future challenges, support sustainable development, and prepare graduates equipped with the knowledge, skills, and professional values needed to excel, compete, and make a positive impact on their communities.
The Electronics and Communications Engineering Program is regarded as having the leadership among the contemporary sciences participating in the unprecedented technological development that the modern era is witnessing. We can assert that it has played an essential part in the evolution of the many communication tools that have reshaped modern life. Because of the growing need for the wide range of services, this specialization offers, graduates of the program are in high demand in the labor market. Thus, to keep up with this development in a way that is consistent with the demands of the labor market as well as enhance community services, the Electronics and Communications Engineering Program at El-Shorouk Academy aims to prepare engineers who are qualified by science, professionalism, and research. Additionally, the program is dedicated to supporting the sustainable development plans of the Egyptian Government by updating and developing educational materials, offering students ongoing training, and creating partnerships and agreements with relevant institutions like the Egyptian Space Agency and Huawei Company.
Computer and information sciences are the engine driving modern progress; as a result, every aspect of life has been impacted by the enormous advancements that have occurred and continue to occur. Therefore, El-Shorouk Academy's Computer Engineering and Control Program is among the most significant, graduating institutes each year that are professionally, scientifically and research-qualified to contribute to the various activities in our dear nation, which has seen amazing advancements in the use of information technology. As a result, the entire program is continuously being developed so that the graduate can compete with peers in the same field of work, become qualified for the local, regional, and global market, and further his professional development by learning about the latest advancements in computer engineering and control.
