Why CEN

CEN  >  About  >  Why CEN

The College of Engineering at American University of Sharjah aspires to be the recognized leader in engineering education in Sharjah, across the UAE and the GCC, and to become a top choice by students, parents, faculty and staff who choose to contribute to engineering higher education. ABET accreditation demonstrates the university’s continuing commitment to the quality of its programs so that CEN students are ready to practice once they graduate and employers can count on AUS graduates to meet their needs.

The college’s degree programs offer the highest level of professional and technical preparation, global preparedness and leadership development in an environment of English-language instruction and partnership between faculty and students. Its highly qualified faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and comprehensive undergraduate and graduate program offerings have made it the premier choice of the region's high school graduates keen to embark on a career in the dynamic field of engineering.

CEN graduates have been highly praised by employers for their technical competence, well-rounded preparation, and excellent leadership and communication skills. This puts CEN graduates at the top of the list of most employers in the region. Furthermore, many CEN graduates have advanced their education by completing master's and doctoral degrees at highly reputable universities around the world.

Our innovative programs embody the vision of the university's founder, Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, who pointed to the fast pace of change in the pattern of education all over the world. "This is, as all of us know, caused by the revolutionary changes in the field of science and technology and advancement in telecommunication systems and information technology. No country can live in a state of isolation, and it has to learn to adjust to the social, cultural and economic needs," he stated.

Responding to this significant observation, CEN was committed from its very inception to charting a course capable of competing with the very best globally. We have succeeded in blending the best of North American educational practices with the methods used by the finest institutions in Europe and the Middle East.
