Minufiya University
Faculty of Electronic EngineeringMinufiya University (Arabic: جامعة المنوفية) is a public university in Egypt. The Latin spelling of its name, however, is everything but fixed. Thus the transcription from the Arabic produces officially used versions like Menofia University, Menoufiya University, or even Menoufeya University occasionally.
The University was founded in 1976. It started with four faculties with nearly 9500 students, 214 staff members and 372 assisting members. It has steadily grown to become one of the large universities in Egypt. Today the university includes 22 faculties and institutes with about 71,000 students, 1,463 staff members and 1370 assisting members.
The university has two campuses. The main campus is located at the city of Shibin El Kom, the capital of Monufia Governorate, which is 75 km. from Cairo. The university's other campus is located at Sadat City, 60 km. from Shebin EL Kom and 94 km. from Cairo.
Since its establishment, Minufiya University has been committed to providing teaching, research and public service programs of the highest quality.
