Why Artificial Intelligence Major in the BUE, Informatics & Computer Science Faculty.

In an attempt to help students, explore various opportunities, the Faculty of Informatics and Computer Science at the British University in Egypt has recently launched officially the Artificial Intelligence Major on this academic year 2020.

After the ICS students finish two years in the Faculty of Informatics and Computer Science, they are going to be able to join the Artificial Intelligence major (on semester six), where they will become professional programmers, by working on their skills to become artificial intelligent specialists.

The major is offering the following subjects for students to learn, such as:
- Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
- Introduction to Data Science
- Machine learning.

In addition to studying very specialized modules in Machine learning, Artificial Intelligence for Robotics System and Natural Language processing.

BUE Artificial Intelligence graduates will be able to understand and effectively apply main artificial intelligence and robotics knowledge to solve different real-life problems intelligently and effectively.

The world is heading toward Intelligent application in all fields, these applications will assist graduates to solve real-life problems in their working fields in such areas as:
- Medicine
- Agriculture
- Traffic control
-Air traffic and all kinds of control systems and energy from manufacturing.

The Faculty of Informatics and computer science has already hosted Egypt Robotics Competition “City shaper – Egypt Championship” for two consecutive years, and also organised the Annual Artificial Intelligence Competition as well as, Game Design competition & organising the International Scientific Conference on Artificial Intelligence and robotics control.

This Faculty was established since the inauguration of the British University in Egypt, and still continuing with the success of such a programme by providing students with a dual degree, validated from the Higher Supreme Council of Private Universities and London South Bank University, UK partner.

We are honoured to announce that Professor Khaled Nagaty was awarded the BUE Best Publication Award in June 2020.
The winning research paper was published in the prestigious journal IET Image Processing in November 2019. The paper is titled: “Incorporating Iris, Fingerprint and Face Biometric for Fraud Prevention in e-Passports Using Fuzzy Vault“. It is the result of cooperation with Dr. Katarzyna Bobkowska and Dr. Marek Przyborski from Gdansk University of Technology in Poland. Professor Nagaty is Professor of Computer Science and the Vice Dean for Community Service of our Faculty of Informatics and Computer Science – ICS.
Congratulations Professor Khaled.
