Program Definition


It is a new program offered by the Faculty of Engineering, Kafrelsheikh University. It was developed in view of the labor market needs for an engineer working on developing smart tools, machines and systems to improve the standard of living of society.

 

It can be defined as one of the branches of computer science that specializes in building systems with highly intelligent specifications to adapt to external conditions to learn new things and concepts. The goal of creating this AI is to emulate human intelligence in solving different issues and problems.

Artificial intelligence helps enhance business capabilities in all areas, and gives companies the ability to demonstrate all their capabilities and raise them to the highest levels. It increases the efficiency of business and the speed of its implementation, increases its value, contributes to the development of business continuously, and increases the number of interacting with this business, due to the continuous development of tools and software related to it. The use of artificial intelligence applications has caused a major revolution in the automotive industry.

For example, Google's self-driving programs use artificial intelligence techniques, as well as logistics companies to reduce accidents, reduce traffic congestion, and artificial intelligence applications are used in e-commerce sites, to obtain a clear picture of customer behavior in purchases across sites, provide recommendations, and in another context, social networks use artificial intelligence applications to detect the presence of penetration of user images, and artificial intelligence applications have also been used to reduce challenges in the field of health care, such as forecasting ICU transfers, medical examination, improving clinical workflow and predicting hospital-acquired diseases.

This program was established to keep pace with the era of digital transformation, within the framework of the 2030 sustainable development plan, and since the impact of artificial intelligence has extended to almost all areas of life, the artificial intelligence engineering program offers an advanced specialization for those who want to combine the disciplines of advanced electronics, computers, software and advanced control systems, where the program aims to give the student appropriate basic information in the various engineering disciplines mentioned, and the program also provides the student with the ability to self-learning, to complete what he may need information in any discipline in order to deal with a specific applied problem or to follow up on its development, where the graduates of the program have the ability to keep pace with technological development, in order to improve all areas, starting with government performance, passing through the electronic systems used in daily life, and even smart cities, which represent a lofty goal.

This program also trains students to develop artificial intelligence techniques and tools, capable of analyzing and producing solutions to the problems required for data collection and interpretation. It also aims to train students in selecting, using and evaluating the stages of analysis and development of software systems, using current technologies in the information sector, and providing students with skills in software analysis and development. In addition to raising the students’ abilities to the level of developing smart programs that depend on machine learning and deep learning that depends on artificial neural networks and how to apply this program in engineering systems.

The objectives of the Intelligent Systems Engineering program focus on providing students with technical skills and design expertise. The objectives can be summarized as follows:-

  • Enable students to analyze data, be able to discover relevant problems, find appropriate solutions, and implement these solutions using the capabilities offered by artificial intelligence techniques.

  • Prepare students to acquire advanced knowledge of a specialized or interdisciplinary nature, often geared towards professional disciplines.

  • Preparing students for innovation in the field of artificial intelligence, in two ways: first, creating innovative techniques and methods in the field of artificial intelligence education, and secondly: applying these techniques and methods related to social and commercial reality, as well as creating innovative computer processes and solutions.

  • Providing advanced training of a specialized nature directed towards enhancing field work in artificial intelligence.

  • Enable students to be creative in addressing and solving scientific and technological problems through research in artificial intelligence.

  • Developing student capabilities in artificial intelligence and related disciplines related to national development and Vision 2030.

  • Meeting the needs of industry, academia, and government in terms of expected employment for the industrial, academic and government sectors.

  • Promote knowledge (Artificial Intelligence) that will contribute significantly to the sustainable development of societies and industries in the region.
