Objective of the program:

The ITE: Information Technology Engineering program aims to prepare IT engineers in general, and specifically IT engineers specialized in software engineering, artificial intelligence, or computer systems and networks, and possessing the basic knowledge and skills in these engineering sciences. This is done by providing an appropriate environment for the application of modern teaching methods that motivate the student to collect, analyze, set up and generate solutions, and be able to innovate and modernize; and to provide students through this environment with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge needed by information engineers.

Learning Outcomes

Gaining knowledge and understanding:
Students are expected to possess a range of knowledge and values, including:

1. Understand the theoretical foundations of information technology.
2. Understand engineering principles and methods.
3. Learning mathematical principles related to mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, mathematical algebra, probability, and statistics.
4. Learning the basics of designing information systems and software and knowing how to implement and test them.
5. Learning the basics of designing artificial intelligence systems and knowing how to implement and test them.
6. Learning the basics of protecting information systems, data and networks.

Mental skills:
Students are expected to possess a range of knowledge and skills, including:

1. Describing the requirements of software systems and defining them using information tools.
  2. Designing computer systems (software, hardware, and networks) by applying knowledge and tools necessary for designing and modeling.
  3. comparing the technical solutions to a problem and choosing the most technically appropriate solution.
   4. Designing an action plan to implement a project, and testing it by applying theoretical knowledge and appropriate information tools.

Professional and practical skills:
Students are expected to possess a range of knowledge and skills, including:

1. To effectively monitor and analyze data resulting from the test.
2. Mastering the methods of project management and controlling the quality of information systems.
3.Becoming skilled at database design, implementation and testing methods.
4. Becoming professional in the design of computer networks and methods of implementation and testing.
5. Mastering the various information tools needed for analysis, design, implementation and testing.
6. Becoming skilled at the different software and network technologies, programming in different languages and using different development platforms.

General and transferable skills:
Students are expected to possess a set of knowledge, skills and values, including:

1. Working in a multidisciplinary team and communicating with non-specialists.
2. Demonstrating effective interpersonal skills in the work environment.
3. Being able to self-learn and embrace lifelong learning as a working scheme.
4. Working in a stressful work environment to achieve the required work on time.
5. Demonstrating personal commitment to professional standards and ethics.

Registration

To be admitted to ITE program, the applicant must have at least a high school diploma (recent or old) or its equivalent (after being checked by the Ministry of Education to get an equivalency), with a minimum average of 85% or any other controls determined by the University Council at the beginning of each academic year.

Or the applicant must have a high school diploma, specializing in informatics, computer technology, or computer networks with a minimum average of 95%, or any other controls determined by the University Council at the beginning of each academic year.

Foundations of Admission:

At the beginning of each academic year, the University Council shall determine the terms and bases of admission for each academic year.

Studying duration

Study duration should not exceed 10 years and the student shall be considered to have exhausted their chances in case of exceeding this period
The conditions of transition between years in the program of information engineering shall be adopted according to the following table

Minimum Number of Credit hours	The year which the student will pass to
40	Second year
100	Third
160	Fourth
220	Fifth

Costs and Fees

SVU studying fees and costs by term

Success and graduation conditions

A student is considered to have succeeded in the course if they obtain a final score greater or equal to 60% of the higher grade of the course.

The course score is calculated from 100 degrees and divided into two parts:

Activity grade: not more than 30%.
Written examination: not less than 70%.

The following is required for a student to obtain a computer engineering degree:
- Obtaining at least three hundred accredited units, within the following conditions:
     1. Succeeding in all general and core courses.
     2. Succeeding in all mandatory materials for the major chosen by the student.
     3. To succeed in the first projects (quarterly project) and the second (graduation project).
     4. The duration of the study should not be less than nine semesters.
     5. The duration of the study shall not exceed ten years.
     6. To have a success rate in the courses and in both projects of not less than sixty per cent.
     7. To have aid the financial fees and installments incurred according to the Financial Regulations.

The University awards the Information Engineering Certificate with the name of the specialization on it.
