THE UNIVERSITY
Though this institution received its charter as a University in the year 1961, it has a much
longer history as a distinguished seat of learning in the engineering sciences. It started its
career 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 it started a Bachelor's Degree course in Mining Engineering, the first-ever of its
kind in the country. 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 programmes. By 1970's it had established over a score of Master's Degree
Courses in diverse specializations of engineering, architecture, planning and allied
disciplines. Ph.D. Degree Programme 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 students enrollment 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.
6
In the recent past there has been a substantial rise in students enrollment and the figure
has now gone up to about 6000. Over 1600 students are pursuing postgraduate studies.
The number of female students enrolling for different disciplines is ever on the increase,
and is 810 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 250
which gives the University Campus a cosmopolitan character.
The teaching departments of the University are grouped into the following six faculties:-
• Faculty of Electrical Engineering
• Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
• Faculty of Civil Engineering
• Faculty of Architecture & Planning
• Faculty of Chemical, Mineral & Metallurgical Engineering
• Faculty of Natural Sciences, Humanities and Islamic Studies
The University has about 640 teachers of which 107 are Ph.D. degree holders, 110 are
doing Ph.D. abroad and 37 are going through indigenous Ph.D. programme.
The university has recently set up a Campus at Faisalabad in a rented premises while
requisite infrastructure at the actual Campus site is coming up. The first batch has
graduated from Faisalabad Campus.
UET has establishment a campus at Kala Shah Kaku known as University City Campus
where admission started in 2007.
Rachna College of Engineering & Technology, Gujranwala is a constituted college. In
addition to managing its own campus, the University controls the academic programmes
and examinations of the following institutions which are affiliated to it for award of
degrees.

Mclagan Engineering College. Presently, it has an enrollment of about 1200
undergraduate students.
The Department started a postgraduate program in 1966 and offers two degrees:
Around 900 students are enrolled in these two programs. The first Master’s Degree was
awarded in 1969 and the first Doctoral Degree was awarded in 1979.
The student can choose amongst one of the following specializations while pursuing his
Master’s in Electrical Engineering:
1. Computer
2. Control
3. Electronics and Communications
4. Power
The Master’s degree courses are aimed at bringing the students abreast with the most
recent developments in their fields of specialization. These courses are offered for both
part-time and full-time students. At present more than 80 percent students are enrolled in
the part-time M.Sc. program. Most of these students are working with major engineering
organizations in the country. The Ph.D. program is, however, offered as full-time studies
to external students and as part-time studies to the members of the faculty.
The Department has a faculty of 80 teachers out of whom 13 are Ph.D. and 31 have the
Master's 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. This research, in particular, is funded by the Directorate of Research
Extension and Advisory Services of the University. A number of research papers are
produced every year by faculty members and graduate students which are normally
published in major national and international journals.
The Department established a Postgraduate Research laboratory in 1993 which houses
a large collection of powerful computers that are connected to the Internet.
The Department has a well-stocked and up-to-date library for the use of the faculty and
postgraduate students. The 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, electronics, computer
and control system engineering. These seminars are delivered by faculty members,
postgraduate students and prominent researchers from home and abroad. The
Department is also home to the ZTE-UET Telecom Center which imparts certified
technical training in 3G/4G technologies to professionals and students.

Postgraduate studies in Architecture
The Department of Architecture is a major department of the School of Architecture and
Design. It was established in 1962. It has the distinction of being the first in the country
to offer a bachelor’s degree in Architecture. The Department, thus, has been the
fundamental contributor towards the founding and establishment of the profession of
Architecture in Pakistan and maintaining its leading role in further higher programmes of
Architectural education. These programmes include Master of Architecture (M. Arch)
Master of Philosophy (M. Phil) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph. D).
The Master’s degree programme in Architecture was instituted in 1990. The M. Arch is
primarily a taught course though the research content is also significant. Both options of
courses, one year full time and two years part time, are offered. Ever since it began,
students have shown keen interest to obtain admission. They include students from all
over the country, as well as, from outside the country. The M. Arch students have
carried out comprehensive research projects related to various aspects of our built
environment and architectural heritage. The projects help understand hitherto
unexposed aspects of our built environment and propose innovative solutions. The M.
Phil and Ph.D. courses are by research only.
The department has a highly qualified faculty. At present four of the eighteen faculty
members hold Ph.D. degrees. In addition three Ph. D. persons are always available to
the department. In fact they are also ex-teachers of the department. Another four
scholars are reading for the degree of Ph. D. It is expected that they will also join the
faculty after successful completion of their Ph.D. In addition to the regular faculty, the
department also invites a number of prominent architects and other professionals from
the field as visiting teachers, jurors and examiners. Most of the faculty is also involved in
research. The research interests of faculty include architectural heritage of Pakistan,
conservation of historic built environment, energy studies, planning and design for
disaster-prone areas, housing and urban studies.
In addition to above, a fully equipped departmental computer laboratory has also been
set up to meet the academic and research requirements. The department is also
working to establish a Centre for Architecture in Pakistan, which will focus on studying
the past, present and the future trends for the development of built environment in
Pakistan.
The working environment within the Department is pleasant and intimate. Contributing
factors towards which are the small number of admissions each year and a high teacher
student ratio. The department also offers a pleasant working environment for girl
students. The tradition of co-education in the department spans over three decades and
recently the proportion of girl students has been more than fifty percent.
The postgraduate programmes offered are meant for mature architects. It is generally
expected that architects who wish to join these programmes have had significant
professional experience and that they have developed an interest in some particular
aspects of the built environment which they wish to explore further. It is hoped that these
70
programmes will help develop the culture of research and enquiry beyond the realm of
academic world, and will thus contribute towards the maturity of the profession of
architecture in Pakistan

AL-KHAWARIZMI INSTITUTE OF COMPUTER SCIENCES
INTRODUCTION:
Khawarizmi Institute of Computer Science (KICS) is establihsed as an institute of applied
research covering the general area of Information Technology and Computer Science.
The name of the institute has been chosen to honor and commemorate one of the
greatest Muslim thinkers and mathematicians, namely Al-Khawarizmi Abu Musa, who
lived and worked in a small town of Azerbaijan from 780 AD to 850 AD. Al-Khawarizmi is
recognized in learned circles not only as the father of Algebra, but also the inventor of the
concept of 'Algorithm'. In fact the word algorithm is simply believed to be a corruption of
Al-Khawarizmi. Therefore, Al-Khawarizmi is rightfully acknowledged as the inventor of all
the mathematical concepts used by Alan Turing and John Von Nuemann to introduce
their respective models for digital computers.

which GPA is computed.
CGPA = ∑ (GPj * CH j ) / ∑ CH j
j = 1 to m, where m is the number of total subjects covered in all
semesters up to the semester for which CGPA is to be computed.
12). A student who fails to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 at the end of 1st
semester shall be put on probation for the 2nd semester. In case he fails to
116
improve his CGPA to 2.0 at the end of 2nd semester, his name shall be

improve his/her CGPA. In case of repetition of a subject, the new grade earned
would replace the previous grade, whether high or low.
14). Completion of required number of credit hours with a minimum CGPA of 3.0,
without any ‘F’ grade, shall be required for the award of degree. Name of the
student who fails to complete his degree requirements within the maximum
time allowed would be removed from the University rolls.

must be submitted not later than one week after the first grade was posted or
within the first week of the following semester, whichever is later. The request
will be routed to the concerned faculty member. Normally, the only person who
can change a grade is the faculty member who gave the grade; however, in
case that faculty member is no longer available or cannot be reached, the
department chairman has the authority to evaluate the situation and change a
grade, if required. When a grade is to be changed, the chairman shall forward
the case to the Dean with justification for change. The result will be modified
after approval of the Vice Chancellor.
17). Within first fifteen days of the beginning of each semester excluding the first
semester, Chairman of each department shall register students in subjects
being taught during that semester in his department. Registration roll in each
subject of the semester shall be dispatched to the Controller of Examinations.
