The Faculty of Artificial Intelligence was incorporated in collaboration with UAE’s Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU), in hopes of teaching and providing skilled labor for the new & emerging technology sectors. The new faculty joins the other 22 diverse faculties available in the Kafr El Sheikh University, which itself was founded in 2006.
