Introduction
Engineering is fundamental to the economic and social prosperity of Pakistan and
the surrounding economies. It is the profession responsible for the creation of all
material objects and systems necessary for modern life from concept to customer to
decommissioning. Engineering is fundamental to the creation and sustainability of
the environment itself. Your studies at Namal College will be a foundation for life
aimed at developing a deep understanding of fundamental and advanced technical
principles, analytical tools, and competence in their application, together with a wide
range of management, personal and professional skills. The BEng programmes sets
out: (i) to give technical depth across the discipline and in relevant specialist
applications of technology; (ii) to provide breadth to encourage innovators. Upon
graduation you will have the capacity for meaningful interdisciplinary interaction, and
professional growth, which may include seeking Chartered Engineer (CEng) status
after doing further postgraduate studies. The ability of an engineer to think clearly
and logically is widely appreciated by many other professions and your studies may
well be a stepping-stone to an alternative career in accountancy, teaching, law, etc –
a real foundation for life. Our programmes combine the vital theoretical backbone
with the creative, practical and personal skills needed for a career as a professional
engineer.

The EEE programme is the practical application of electrical science and technology
to the solution of problems in industry, commerce and society. This exciting and
rapidly-developing field will continue to be the technological revolution of the 21st
century. From a heart monitor to a power station; from a satellite system to the
semiconductor chips in your computer, electrical and electronic engineers provide
the products, skills, services and above all, ingenuity, upon which modern life
depends.
This programme is fundamental to a successful career in the IT Industry, electronics
manufacturing, electronic product design, robotics and communications industries.
This is a challenging programme requiring creative and innovative skills. Some of the
programme content includes electronics, electronics materials, telecommunications
and computing. Our programmes emphasises practical skills in designing, making
and testing, computer technologies, with substantial group projects in year 2 and an
individual project in your third year of study.
Programme Aims
We aim to produce BEng graduates who are imaginative, innovative, versatile and
competitive, who will be able to progress rapidly to professional positions of
responsibility with minimal additional training, and who can provide technical,
managerial and entrepreneurial leadership in specialist/interdisciplinary projects.
This aim is achieved by:
 delivering a challenging and broad range of study, introducing core material in
the early years, before developing more advanced concepts, techniques and
discipline specialities in the last year.
 developing a broad, deep subject knowledge and understanding, developing
discipline skills, providing a good level of business and management
knowledge and developing personable transferable skills, all of which enable
graduates to pursue programmes of further study, or to move quickly into
leadership roles of responsible employment;
 providing a supportive, structured environment in which students are
encouraged to develop independent learning skills;
 promoting educational opportunities for ethnic minority, women, mature and
alternatively qualified students, as well as for school-leavers and traditionally
qualified students.
At the end of this programme, students will be able to understand and apply the
principles of electrical and electronic for components and systems design, with a
specialisation in power/ high current electronics. Students will also be able to
undertake a project from start to finish, including planning, specification, PCB design,
parts procurement, testing and commissioning, and also to professionally document
and present the associated material. These skills will be of immediate value to an
employer in the electronics field, and thus will be rewarded accordingly. Gaining a
lower second or above on this programme could facilitate your route to becoming a
Chartered Engineer, after completing an IET accredited Masters level programme of
further learning.

Programme Learning Outcomes
Engineering is an interactive process usually involving creation, planning, analysis,
design, economic evaluation, manufacture, operation and maintenance and
decommissioning with a view to minimising environmental impact.
In order to achieve the learning outcomes of the BEng award you will develop the
following:

Knowledge and Understanding of fundamental concepts, principles and
underpinning theories; appropriate numerical methods to solve technical
problems; fundamental and principles and practice of engineering design and
manufacture; business and management practices for engineering; roles and
responsibilities of professional engineers; concepts, principles and theories
required for successful and creative innovation.
 Discipline Specific Skills in the use of computers in creation, innovation,
design, and rapid prototyping; generic and specialised numerical methods for
modelling and analysing engineering problems relevant to your chosen
specialism; selection and application of principles of data collection and
manipulation methods to support problem solving.
 Personal and Transferable Skills in data management and presentation;
interpretation of information; IT and communication skills; creative and
systematic problem solving; scientific method; lifelong learning; teamwork and
leadership; and personal management.
Curriculum
At Namal, each Stage of a BEng programme comprises two terms of 15-weeks
duration with 60 credits being studied in each term. For 10 credit modules all of the
teaching and assessment is undertaken in the same term; some of the 20 credit
modules have teaching and assessment that occurs in each of the terms.
The BEng (Honours) programme structure that you will follow at Namal will take the
same form as that delivered at the University of Bradford, UK, although with no
optional subjects at present. This is shown in the following table.
At the end of Stage 1 there may be the possibility to transfer onto the Ordinary route,
to be discussed with the programme leader. An Ordinary route comprises of 100
credits at each Stage.

Whilst this Programme conforms to the general principles set out in the standard
University Assessment Regulations which are available at the following:
http://www.bradford.ac.uk/aqpo/ordinances-and-regulations/
Teaching and Assessment Strategies
You will experience a wide range of teaching and learning environments. Concepts,
principles and theories are generally explored in formal lectures, practised in
associated tutorials and demonstrated in laboratory classes. Practical skills are
developed in laboratory, drawing office, design studio or fieldwork sessions.
Cognitive and personal skills are developed in more open-ended problem solving
and design exercises, often tackled by working in small groups supported by
members of academic staff. Project work is used to bring together various aspects of
your programme, including interdisciplinary issues.

Typically, each module at Stage 1 and 2 will involve you in 36 hours of organised
teaching. However, this is reduced to 24 hours at Stage 3 as you are encouraged to
become more self-supporting and independent in your approach to learning by way
of individual, interdisciplinary, and research-based projects. Methods of Assessment
are varied and your progress will be assessed using a mix of formal examinations,
various technical reports, essays, oral presentations and dissertations, and will
followed identically at Namal.
Student support and guidance
This is provided at Namal and the University. All members of academic and support
staff at Namal and the University are accessible. All you need to do is ask and we
are willing to help.
Your time studying for your degree will result in personal and professional
associations that will sustain you throughout your career.
Namal college provides important facilities including extended access to Library and
Computing services. The Career and Counselling Centre provides free counselling
and related services, such as the Mentor Mentee Programme, study skills and career
seminars. The Student Affairs Office provides welfare services and support to the
