Abstract

COVID-19 is highly contagious. It caused a global health crisis that in turn affected many aspects of life, especially in architectural education, which faced challenges due to these crises. This makes us tend to change learning methods in a way that turns students from passive listeners to active learners, and from consumers of knowledge to producers of it, in a way that enables them to be able to face problems in architectural and urban design. This research aims to enable students to obtain the necessary knowledge to enter the profession and support its sustainability and preservation, by obtaining accreditation from one of the international accreditation programs for architecture education NAAB, RIBA or UIA[1], which qualify its graduates to deal with various challenges. Therefore, the sustainability of architectural education must be sought in the programs of architecture in Egyptian universities and raise the level of their quality through environmental behavior studies, sustainability and environmental awareness, and digital and virtual practices. Hence, this research evaluates some architectural programs (Mansoura University - Tanta University) using the international verification standards NAAB, RIBA and UIA to determine the extent to which these programs are compatible with them, and the considerations to be considered when seeking international accreditation and achieving sustainability. The research concluded that the architecture program at the Faculty of Engineering at Mansoura University can be accredited through NAAB, while the architecture program at the Faculty of Engineering at Tanta University can be accredited through RIBA.
