Faculty of Engineering and Technology
Overview
Throughout history, the development of new technology has been absolutely vital for
both human survival and human progress. We as a species constantly come across
situations where our alternatives are either adaptation or survival and one of the main
tools with which we adapt to changing conditions is with the discovery, engineering
and implementation of new technologies. Engineering & Technology is the primary
vehicle through which humanity progresses and in the future, technology could serve
to eliminate much of the biggest problems facing us as a species such as world
hunger, poverty, lack of access to education and other issues.
Modern societies need people with scientific, engineering and technological
qualifications at the highest level. As the youngest faculty of LCWU, we take pride in
our accomplishments and quality of our programs. The department of Electrical
Engineering offers PEC accredited program of Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
with Electronics and Communication as areas of specializations. Currently no other
female institution in Pakistan is facilitating the theoretical and practical
instrumentation like LCWU.
The department of Computer Science is another well established ISO-9001:2000
certified department which offers 4 years bachelors, 2 years MS and PhD programs.
The faculty of Engineering & Technology is starting 5 years Bachelor of Architecture
and 4 years Bachelor of City & Regional planning programs from current academic
session. I would like the perspective students to browse through the relevant pages of
the prospectus to get more insight about these programs.
Faculty is our real strength. We are committed to further enhancing their research
interests and engaging in outreach activities to provide best response to our national
needs. Under the umbrella of various HEC funded development projects, every year
we send a number of our faculty members for higher education and short-term
scientific and research training in well reputed International universities. Our faculty
endeavors to produce scientists and engineers who can play role in both practical and
research areas of respective disciplines. The faculty strongly supports the idea of
using modern technologies to enhance teaching and learning capabilities of the
students.
We continuously strive to update our curricula and lab facilities and thus enhance the
learning environment at our faculty. No wonder, therefore, that our students achieve
excellent overall results and majority of our students get selected in organizations of
repute. The establishment of Top Quality Centralized Research Laboratory having
sophisticated equipment like DLTS, XRD, HPLC, GCMS, Atomic Absorptions
Spectrophotometer, Hardness tester, UTM etc has helped the graduate students of
faculty of natural sciences and faculty of Engineering & Technology to carry out
quality research.
