I’m one of the Faculty of computer and informatics Suez Canal University 2011 Alumni. I thought maybe what the faculty offers can be documented digitally for self-studying. or even for reviewing what we studied after years of graduation. The list is based off of the official website curriculum list I believe this list is different slightly from what I studied back in my time.

The faculty offers a 4 year program for a bachelor degree.

• The list is a direct translation from FCI SCU website - Screenshot from 26 June 2022
• First year curriculum PDF form FCI SCU website - A copy from 26 June 2022
• Prof. Ahmed Sallam website lists his courses and most of them on youtube + textbook names for each and assignments. really impressive effort.
• FCI Hilwan University has an Open CourseWare (OCW) youtube channel and their courses is pretty similar to FCI SCU - recommendation
• FCI SCU website on google sites that include links to most material and google classrooms with lectures, exams and other material from 2020 I believe
• Some youtube channels are from MIT OCW channel. That’s because it’s mentioned in the course specification PDF file

Retired courses ¶

The faculty used to have some courses that were removed in favor of others apparently. the following are courses that I studied but I can’t find them on the list of this years curriculum

1. Partial Differential Equations (PDE)

TODO ¶

• Clarify items with (?) in front of them as the Arabic name doesn’t reflect the content
• Add links to Wikipedia pages
• Add textbook reference for all subjects
• Add YouTube courses for all subjects
