| The Continuous development in the architectural education system is inevitable, both in terms of the message and objectives, and in terms of the methodology, which is the access to achieve these objectives. The ethical aspect is an essential element in the university education system has been neglected and ignored, especially in the architectural education curriculum. Which has impacted negatively on the ability of the current study plans and curriculum of the architecture departments in the Egyptian universities and institutes to achieve their objectives, as a result of negligence choose the most appropriate method to achieve these objectives. In the past decades many studies revealed that the problems of the architectural education in Egypt are a reflection to the society problems of the collapse of the moral values, as a result of cons in the structure and content of the architectural education curriculum. this research aims to verify that the ethics - in general - and especially the professional ethics, have a role in exacerbating the problems of the architectural education product on one hand and the architectural and urban product on the other hand. This Research focuses on analyzing the study plans for a number of architecture departments at Egyptian universities, and compare it with the study plans of the architecture department at the University of Al-Azhar, and the Islamic architecture department at the University of Umm Al- Qura in Makkah. To highlight the role that can be done by the modifications in these study plans to solve those problems from an Islamic perspective. This study has concluded to emphasize importance of the legalization and standardization of the hour's number per course at all architectural engineering departments, especially when the scientific contents of the curriculum are similar. This study also recommended that adding the courses of the islamic ethics and its sources to the study plans of the architecture departments as a part of the basic courses, and also as elective courses are important, to give the students the ethics of science, beside acquiring the tools of science from the technical and professional curricula, also supplying the students with the ability to produce and develop an architecture which defend and express the arabic and islamic identity of Egypt. | ||||
