The MTC was established to aid fulfilling one basic principle of the 23rd of July revolution, to build a strong Egyptian army. As a milestone in building this army, the role of recent technologies and modern trends in armament came to mind. Thus, the idea of establishing a technical military academy became  essential to supply the newborn army with engineers who constitute its technical mind.

So, in October 27^th 1957 the Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces issued an order to establish a scientific military college to supply the army with its need of the professional engineers.

In November 17th 1958, the organizational order was issued which divided the study in the school into two stages. The first stage, the medium stage, lasts for two years. Meanwhile, the second stage, the high stage, lasts for three years. In addition to the study stages, the organizational order included the requirements of admission, branches of the school, and the duties of the graduates, as well.

In 1958, the  Military College for Science was established and occupied Abd El-Rehiem Sabry Palace in Dokky, Cairo.

The educational foundation  and  the teaching plans were established   by   a   group   of   Czech  faculty members  and Egyptian university professors in analogy with the Czechoslovak   Military  Academy   of  Brno , Czechoslovakia.

The Military College for Science became the Military Technical College according to the re-organizational instructions , issued on September 7th, 1959.

The College started to qualify its own Egyptian teaching staff at 1960. The  early  groups  were  sent  to the Chezkoslovak Military Academy to get  their  Ph.D  degrees  in  different  specializations  of  the  college during  the  period  1964   -   1975. The  following  groups have been sent  to distinguished universities in France ,Great Britain, and USA, since 1977. The role of the Czech faculty members  ended  and  the college started to depend totally on its own staff, by 1978.
