The University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, enjoys a respectable position as a leading institution amongst the reputed engineering universities of
the world. Being a pioneering institution of engineering and technology in Pakistan, it cherishes a rich tradition of imparting quality engineering and technical
education to the best brains of the country.

It is indeed a matter of great satisfaction for me to note that significant improvement has been achieved in the sphere of engineering and technical education at the
University in accordance with national and international standards. With its emphasis on research and applied disciplines relevant to the need of time, the University
is certainly alive to the increasing demand of professional and progressive engineering for national development.

It is equally commendable that the University has created a modern infrastructure and has established its sub-campuses at Kala Shah Kaku, Faisalabad
Narowal and a constituent college at Gujranwala to further engineering studies in the country. This has certainly made it possible for students form
diverse areas in Punjab to update their knowledge in various technical disciplines since modern technology has become essential for rapid progress.
I am confident that efforts to excel in the field of higher education and the inculcation of technical expertise in the students of the University will continue
in future with a greater zeal.

Vice Chancellor' s Message

I am pleased to state that UET as a premier institution, established in 1921, has now become an icon of quality in engineering
education and it is a great honor for me to serve my alma mater. As you know that the vision and mission are realigned recently
to promote education, research and innovation which are important for technological development in the country . This has been
demonstrated by the alumni who are serving in important national projects (i.e., engineering, design, IT , energy , architecture,
planning, R&D and infrastructure), organizations and multinational companies.

The new initiatives are taken for implementation of Outcome Based Education (OBE) to enhance student learning outcomes in
their degree programs with emphasis on research, knowledge, skills and values. This will certainly help to produce graduates
having advanced knowledge in their fields and humanistic rectitude to be fit to serve for technological progress and to confront
social challenges in society.

The faculty has set the quality benchmarks to achieve the milestones and key performance indicators (KPIs) for research,
commercialization entrepreneurship and better learning outcomes in all programs. The administration is aware of the challenges
and difficulties to overcome and to provide best service to students and faculty and bring harmonization in activities of all
departments, centers and hostels. These efforts will lead to improvement in quality of education, services as well as national and
international ranking. We are also strengthening our linkages with alumni, industry, Government departments and international
partners for academic cooperation. I would like to congratulate the students selected on merit and for their choice to join UET.

They have accepted the challenge to work harder and smarter, to excel in science, technology, research and management programs
as well as participation in sports, professional chapter competitions, and co-curricular activities. I should also take this opportunity to
welcome the students especially the new intake at all campuses of UET at the start of academic session and hope that their stay
will be pleasant with good learning experience.

 INTRODUCTION
Though this institution received its charter as a University in 1961, it has a much longer history as a distinguished seat of learning in engineering
sciences. It started in 1921 as the Mughalpura Technical College, deriving its name from the famous suburb of the old city of Lahore, richly dotted
with architectural heritage of the great Mughals including the magnificent Shalimar Gardens. Its more familiar name of the pre-University era, the
Maclagan Engineering College, was given to it in 1923 when Sir Edwards Maclagan, the then Governor of the Punjab, laid the foundation stone of
the building, now called the Main Block, which still retains its majesty in spite of the wear and tear of over eight decades. At that stage, the institution
offered courses of study in two disciplines, namely Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. The year 1932 is a major milestone in the evolution of this
institution when it was affiliated with the University of the Punjab for award of a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. At the dawn of Independence in
1947, it had well-established B.Sc. Degree courses in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering, and the quality of its scholastic standards won it a
place of prestige throughout the British India.

In 1954, a Bachelor's Degree course in Mining Engineering, the first-ever of its kind in the country, was started. But its massive expansion and
development commenced in 1961 on its transformation into a University. It set for itself a variety of goals, but the first priority was to start teaching of
those disciplines which were crucial for national development but were not catered for by any institution in the country. Accordingly, in the sixties,
Bachelor's degree courses were started in Chemical Engineering, Petroleum & Gas Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Architecture, and City
& Regional Planning.

Later, the University concentrated its energies and resources on developing its postgraduate programs. By 1970's it had established over a score of
graduate programs in diverse specializations of engineering, architecture, planning and allied disciplines. Ph.D. program was also instituted in a
number of disciplines. The process of consolidating and strengthening continued to be a major concern of the University, with phenomenal increase
in enrollment of students in seventies. Consequently, the University College of Engineering, Taxila was established in 1975. For three years it
functioned at Sahiwal and was shifted to its campus at Taxila in 1978. This college has now been upgraded to University of Engineering and
Technology, Taxila.

Establishing traditions of research in the engineering and allied disciplines has been a major goal of the University. With this end in view, the University
established a Directorate of Research, Extension and Advisory Services which strives for the promotion and organization of research activities.

In the recent past, there has been a substantial rise in students' enrollment and the figure has now gone up to over 11500. Currently, 2484 students
are pursuing postgraduate studies. The number of female students enrolling for different disciplines is ever on the increase, and is 2293 at present.
The number of foreign students coming from countries, like Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Kenya, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka is over
332 which gives the University Campus a cosmopolitan character.

The university has 818 teachers of which 270 have a Ph.D. while 250 are pursuing Ph.D. abroad
The teaching departments of the University are grouped into the following seven faculties:
· Faculty of Electrical Engineering
· Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
· Faculty of Civil Engineering
· Faculty of Architecture & Planning
· Faculty of Chemical, Metallurgical and Polymer Engineering
· Faculty of Natural Sciences, Humanities and Islamic Studies
· Faculty of Earth Sciences and Engineering
The university set up a campus at Faisalabad in 2006 and also established a campus at Kala Shah Kaku in 2007, which is known as University City
Campus. Rachna College of Engineering & Technology, Gujranwala is a constituent college and follows the same academic curriculum and policies
as the ones followed at the main campus in Lahore. In 2012, the university established a new campus in Narowal with an aim to produce quality
technical manpower for the District of Narowal and its surroundings. In addition to managing its own campus, the University controls the academic
programs and examinations of numerous institutions which are affiliated to it for award of degrees.

The Masters Degree courses are aimed at bringing the students abreast with the most recent developments in their fields of specialization. For graduation,
there are two options for the students –either he needs to do a thesis in his area of specialization (one of the above four) along with at least six courses from
his major specialization area (Group -A courses) and a maximum of two courses from any of other three specialization areas (Group-B courses) or at least
eight courses from his major specialization area (Group-A courses) and a maximum of two courses from any of other three specialization areas
(Group-B courses) plus a design project. Faculty advisement is mandatory for all enrolled students.
The courses are offered for full-time students. Most of these students are working with major engineering organizations in the country.The Ph.D. program
however, is offered as full-time studies to external students and part-time studies to the faculty members.
It is mandatory for all Ph.D. students to pass the GRE Subject type PhD admission test administered by the National Testing Service (NTS), six graduate
courses, a comprehensive exam based on these courses and publish at least one article based on his original research in an impact factor journal before
the award of that degree.
The Department, in main campus, has a faculty of 29 teachers out of whom 20 are Ph.D. and 7 have the Masters degree. Faculty members with higher qualifications
are engaged in M.Sc./Ph.D. teaching and research supervision.
Research work being carried out at the Department has direct bearing on the needs of national industry. The Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization
of the University, in particular, funds this research. A number of research papers are produced every year by faculty members and graduate students, which are
normally published (presented) in major national and international journals (conferences).
The Department has a well-stocked and up-to-date library for the use of faculty and students. This also houses a large number of numerous books donated by
late Dr Masood Ahmad. Department also offers consultancy services and testing facilities to local manufacturers of electrical and electronics equipment. It also
arranges frequent seminars and workshops in various areas of electrical power, electronics, communications, computer and control systems engineering. Faculty

and Materials Engineering. It also offers testing facilities and consultancy services to local industry.

The department has a pleasant and intimate working environment which is derived from the small number of admissions every year and a high
teachers/student ratio. The department also offers a pleasant working environment for female students. The tradition of a co-education in the department
spans over one decade.
It is expected that engineers who wish to join higher studies programs have had some professional experience and they have developed an interest in some
particular area which they wish to explore further. It is hoped that these programs will help to produce significant developments in the metal and materials
industry of Pakistan.
