Dean's message
The Faculty of Engineering aims to develop and produce the next generation of accomplished engineers, scientists, researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs with strong technical and analytical skills. We offer two four-year undergraduate degree programs: B.E. in Biomedical Engineering and BS in Robotics and Intelligent Systems, along with ME and PhD programs in Biomedical Engineering. Our engineering program is recognized and accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
The B.E. Biomedical Engineering program is designed to produce engineers with a competitive edge in both knowledge and technical skills through inquiry, research, and experimentation. On the other hand, the B.S. in Robotics and Intelligent Systems program focuses on robotics and intelligent system analysis and application, preparing students to meet the growing global demand in these cutting-edge fields.
For both programs, the faculty of engineering has adopted a globally competitive curriculum that incorporates theoretical knowledge with hands-on training and learning using state-of-the-art equipment. This allows students to solve complex engineering problems and enables them to enhance their technical skills in various industries such as automation, artificial intelligence, and healthcare, both nationally and internationally.
Our well-qualified and experienced faculty ensures that the program’s learning outcomes are achieved. We emphasize student-teacher interaction to provide an optimal learning environment, where strong emphasis is laid on Industry-Academia collaboration. To support this, we have an Industrial Advisory Board that facilitates the development of insights on current trends in the healthcare industry and emerging technologies by arranging class lectures, seminars, webinars, field visits, and workshops for students.
For continuous quality improvement, the Board of Studies and Board of Faculty regularly review and discuss curricula and related matters, ensuring that our programs remain relevant and up-to-date. On behalf of the Faculty of Engineering, I welcome you to join an innovative world of Engineering and Science and wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
