up committee to study the project. The committee suggested that the Higher Schools be upgraded to the university level and annexed to the existing colleges. School of Law and School of Medicine were thus annexed to the State University in February 12, 1923. It was agreed that the old University would merge into new one, with the Faculty of Arts as the core.

These are: The Faculty of Agriculture, Archaeology, Arts, Commerce, Computer and Information Sciences, Dar El-Ulum (Islamic Studies), Oral Dental Medicine, Economics and Political Sciences, Engineering, Law, Mass Communications, Medicine, Pharmacology, Physiotherapy, Regional and Urban Planning, Science, Veterinary Medicine, Nursing, Kindergarten Education and Specific Education. Besides, Cairo University has an open learning center and four institutes: The Institute of African Studies and Research, The Institute of Educational Studies and Research, The National Cancer Institute and The National Institute of Laser Enhanced Sciences. The suggestions and advice of Dr. Ahmed Zewail, the Egyptian Nobel Prize Winner, played an important role in establishing the Laser Institute. The Open Learning Center allows grown ups who wish to obtain a university degree such an opportunity. Each faculty allows student to choose from various specializations (departments).

example, the Faculty of Engineering of Cairo University has the following Engineering departments: Aeronautical and Aerospace, Architectural, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electric Power and Machines, Electronics and Electrical Communication, Mathematics and Physics, Irrigation and Hydraulics, Mechanical Design and Production, Mechanical Power Mining Petroleum and Metallurgical, Public Works and Structural Engineering. The Faculty of Engineering of Cairo University, again as an example, has the following research Centers and Laboratories: Architectural and Engineering Design Center, Center for Advancement of Post-Graduate Studies and research in Engineering Sciences (CAPSCU), Center for Advanced Software and Biomedical Engineering Consultations, Center of Studies and Design for Water Projects, Center of Studies and training, Civil Engineering Center, Concrete Research Laboratory, Engineering Center for Archeology and Environment, Energy research Center, High Tech Design and Consultation Center (ICT), Material Testing Lab, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Research Lab, Technical Center for Job Promotion, Center of Manufacturing Studies, Highway and Airport Engineering Research, Tribology and Spare Parts Center and The Unit for Production and Management. University staff members are usually experienced researchers, having obtained their PhD degrees from prominent international centers and having gone through the usual postdoctoral research experience. This was just one example of education and research scientific activities at on Egyptian university. Other comparable activities can be also found at other universities such as Ain Shams, Alexandria, Mansoura, Assiut, the American University in Cairo, The German University in Cairo, etc. 4.2.2. National Research Center (NRC) The National Research Centre is the largest multidisciplinary R&D Center devoted to basic applied research within the major fields of interest. It is the largest of all institutions affiliated with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific research and employs about 70% of all scientists working in research institutions. It was established as an independent public organization at 1956, with the aim “to foster basic and applied scientific research particularly in industry, agriculture, public health and other sectors of national economy”. Between the sixties and eighties 6 divisions of NRC developed into independent research institutes: • The National Institute of Standards • Petroleum Research Institute • Central Metallurgical Research and Development Institute • Theodore Bilharz Research Institute • Ophthalmology Research Institute • Electronics Research Institute. Since its establishment, the NRC has evolved through 3 distinct stages. The initial stage extending from 1956 to 1968, focused on man power development and building research 39 4. Science in Egypt
