Abstract


Egyptian schools of engineering (government faculties, private faculties and private higher engineering institutes) award degrees to 35000 graduates annually.  There have been concerns from the Egyptian Engineers Syndicate, experienced engineers, local & international employers, parents and other society stakeholders about the knowledge and skills gained by engineering graduates.   In this article, first the institutions were analyzed from a fresh business perspective.  The analysis highlighted several constraints that hinder radical reforms.
