Nuclear Education in Egypt
Prof. Dr. Mohamed ElSayed Soliman Nagy
Department of Nuclear and Radiation
Engineering
Alexandria University
The Department of Nuclear and
Radiation Engineering
• The Department of Nuclear Engineering
was established in 1963 to support the
nuclear program in Egypt.
• The courses in the department were
tailored towards creating an engineer with
comprehensive understanding of the
nuclear power plants.
• In 2003, the department's name was
changed to the Department of Nuclear and
Radiation Engineering in order to
accommodate the need for engineers who
can handle radiation sources and
applications in
commercial/industrial/medical fields.
