Academic Advisors
Academic advising is an essential element of the educational process. At American University of Sharjah you are required to participate in advisor-student conferences at least once per semester/term.
As an AUS student, you have been assigned an academic advisor who will help you in selecting your courses of study and in planning your schedules. Your advisor also approves your schedules each semester/term. However, you are responsible for selecting your courses, meeting course prerequisites and adhering to the most recent university policies and procedures. The advisor assists you in obtaining a well-balanced education and in interpreting university policies and procedures.
Throughout your academic journey, you may also consult faculty members, department heads, program coordinators and associate deans or deans. Students on academic probation are provided additional advising and guidance by the Academic Support Center.
You can find your academic advisor's contact details below:

Engineering Learning Center
The Engineering Learning Center (ELC) is a hub where the CEN community helps each other both academically and professionally. ELC offers help for engineering students in multiple engineering courses. The center would be run by student tutors that show academic capability in their assigned courses. The idea behind the Engineering Learning Center is to have the students help their peers and improve their academic abilities in their engineering courses, supervised by engineering faculty.

Makerspaces
Makerspaces is a new initiative by the College of Engineering to provide students with open workspaces to research, learn, explore, build, test, and share ideas. An expert Lab instructor will be in attendance during the allocated times to answer questions and provide any possible assistance.
The students were encouraged to visit these makerspaces to:
- Learn about the various engineering disciplines and examples of their corresponding labs
- Interact with our expert lab instructors and benefit from their expertise on a project they are working on
- Meet other students with similar interests
- Start an innovative project in the lab which might translate to a senior design or even be incubated by entities such as Sheraa
- Or just work on any assignment or project they have in mind
Industry Sponsored Senior Design Projects
Students in the College of Engineering (CEN) are required to complete a 1-year capstone graduation project during their senior year of full-time studies at AUS. Projects are conducted by teams consisting of 3 to 4 students under the supervision of a CEN faculty. In many cases, the students elect to extend the internship work to be their graduation project and that typically includes a mentor from industry.
Hence, the industry is welcomed to sponsor these senior design projects in the form of mentoring or provision of resources.
Product Design Program
Starting Fall 2023, engineering students at AUS will have the opportunity to turn their innovative ideas into marketable solutions for businesses and communities through the CEN Technology and Engineering Product Design Program (PDP).
Serving as an incubator for student ideas, the program helps students conceptualize, develop prototypes, receive financial planning training, including budgeting and sourcing, establish start-up trademarks and pitch their ideas to potential UAE and international investors. It also involves a series of workshops, seminars and consultations with business experts ensuring a comprehensive entrepreneurial learning experience.
The PDP kicks off with three projects:
- ShipX: Industrial engineer Alya AlMatrooshi is working on ShipX, an app that addresses the logistics needs of small and medium-sized businesses, offering advanced solutions that empower entrepreneurs.
- E-Corp: Computer science and engineering team Mohammed Fawaz, Abdulrahman Shoaib and Hafsah Tahir are working on revolutionizing the waste management sector through a self-sustaining robotic solution.
- Academica: Mahmoud Darwish, Qusai Al Tah and Jawwad Sheikh, envisions creating a centralized platform for students to access learning and experience enrichment opportunities that go beyond the traditional classroom.
For more information or to join the PDP program please contact Dr. Lutfi Albasha via [email protected] or [email protected].
NextGen Innovators Hub
NextGen Innovators Hub is a student-centric program for interdisciplinary innovation. The program aims to actively involve students from various majors in addressing real-life problems and challenges faced by the local community. This is a voluntary extracurricular activity open to Junior students. It doesn't count towards academic credit but by participating in developing this program students will have the opportunity to:
- Engage in hands-on, real-world problem-solving.
- Collaborate with peers from different academic disciplines.
- Take on leadership roles within their projects.
- Think innovatively and come up with creative solutions to complex problems.
- Directly engage with their local community to address real issues.
- Gain practical experience that can be included in their resumes and portfolios.
- Work closely with faculty, community partners, and peers from various disciplines
- Expand their professional network.
- Extend their project into an interdisciplinary senior design project.
