The Modern Academy for Engineering & Technology is a private university in Cairo, Egypt.
There are five education departments in Modern Academy for Engineering & Technology:
In the academic year 2000/2001, only 80 students were enrolled. In the following year, 2001/2002, this number jumped to 1,080 students.
The school years fall in two semesters; fall and spring. Each semester lasts for 15 weeks excluding official holidays and planned vacations. Tutorial sessions are organized periodically to upgrade the student’s scientific level in the theoretical and practical directions. These sessions, in addition to allocated office hours, help effectively, in improving the results of the examinations.
Generally, students are promoted to the next year if passing all courses examined in or maximum failing in two courses from the previous year(s).
Students do not register for their courses but study a predetermined plan of courses set by the administration. The maximum load per semester is seven courses excluding the humanities ( e.g. English language).
Courses are classified into theoretical and practical courses, practical courses include laboratory (workshop) teaching hours. In contrast, there exist predetermined and selective courses.
Selective courses allow the students to select one course among several ones. Students have the chance to realize annual projects which are accompanied by practical realization. Those projects are essential to increase the students creative capabilities.
Students are expected to attend classes regularly. A full-time students should attend at least 75% of classes to be allowed to sit for the final exam. If a student fails to meet this percentage, he/she will not be allowed to sit for the final exam for this course.
Courses fall into two main categories: theoretical and practical. The grading system for all courses is predetermined by the administration and is obligatory for all teaching staff.
Grading system for theoretical courses: 20% Year work Includes mid-term, quizzes, research paper, assignments, and attendance; 80% Final Exam
Grading system for practical courses: 20% Year work: includes mid-term, quizzes, research paper, assignments, and attendance; 20% Practical exam: includes laboratory and oral exams; 60% Final exam.
The following grades will be used to designate levels of achievement and will appear on official transcripts:
A passing grade is at least Sufficient in all courses.
All students declare their major initially on admission. All students must confirm their major before the second year start.
Change of major is allowed only in the following case: Students joining the electrical spec. can change the major from computer Engineering & Inf. Tech. To Electronic Engineering & Communications Tech. and vice versa before the third year start.
Change of major is allowed during the first two weeks of the beginning of the second academic year for all specializations except the electrical specialization (computer and communications) where it is postponed to the third year.
The administration provides students with an opportunity to attend free tutorial sessions parallel to regular classes in order to improve their academic standard.
Intensive tutorial programs are offered for free, during the actual study specially in the free days to improve the student’s scientific and educational standard before the mid-term and the final exams.
Tutorial sessions on lab. experiments are also allowed for students who feel that they are in need to upgrade their practical level.
The Training Office at the Academy organizes off–campus training programs for excellent and very good students. Students are placed in a descending order according to available training opportunities. The training office officials conduct periodic assessment to ensure maximum benefit gained from the summer training programs offered. Students passing first year carry out on-campus training where they have concentrated training courses in:
Students passing the second year and the following ones have their training off-campus in factories, research centers, and industrial associations.
A student who is admitted to be graduated from the Academy is expected to fulfill the following minimum academic requirements:
One of the original services provided by the Academy is the Academic Follow-up Unit service. The unit staff is responsible for:
The library contains over 10,000 references in scientific and engineering branches. More than 300 international periodicals are available.

The Office of Youth Affairs carries out all sportive, social, scouting, etc. activities in cooperation with the academy management staff:
There exists several sport teams like football, basketball, and handball. Distinguished students are allowed to do the training in different national clubs in their spare time and are supported by the academy. A monthly sports festival is carried out by the academy in the vacation days (Saturday and Thursday) where the majority of students share in different teams and finally winning teams are gaining prizes. The teaching staff, dean, and vise dean share students in these sportive days such that students and their professors get the feeling of a cooperative family. Modern Academy is now in the initiative stage for preparation of all playgrounds required for building up its own sportive stadium.
A cooperative scientific agreement between Modern Academy in Maadi and the University of the District of Columbia (UDC) in Washington, D.C. in the United States was established several years ago.
The Modern Academy for Engineering & Technology shared this agreement after several months of its establishment. This rapid approval from the USA's side was due to trust in the Engineering Academy's scientific altitude.
According to this agreement students of the Modern Academy for Engineering & Technology have the right to join the cooperative program after payment of an additional small registration fee.
A similar agreement is in its final stages for execution with the University of North London (UNL) in England. This will hand over advantages similar to those handed over by the UDC agreement.
The General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) is an academic qualification in a range of subjects taken in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, having been introduced in September 1986 and its first exams taken in 1988.

Physics education or physics teaching refers to the education methods currently used to teach physics. The occupation is called physics educator or physics teacher. Physics education research refers to an area of pedagogical research that seeks to improve those methods. Historically, physics has been taught at the high school and college level primarily by the lecture method together with laboratory exercises aimed at verifying concepts taught in the lectures. These concepts are better understood when lectures are accompanied with demonstration, hand-on experiments, and questions that require students to ponder what will happen in an experiment and why. Students who participate in active learning for example with hands-on experiments learn through self-discovery. By trial and error they learn to change their preconceptions about phenomena in physics and discover the underlying concepts. Physics education is part of the broader area of science education.
The classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles (CPGE), commonly called classes prépas or prépas, are part of the French post-secondary education system. They consist of two years of study which act as an intensive preparatory course with the main goal of training students for enrolment in one of the grandes écoles. The workload is one of the highest in Europe.
