EL undergraduate core courses are offered in every spring and fall semester; elective courses are frequently offered depending on two main factors: (a) Local industrial needs and higher educational goals, and (b) Students’ demand. To teach these courses, qualified faculty staff is assigned the courses relevant to their field of specialization or research. The Department of Electronic Engineering has taken one step forward in offering technical courses by keeping in view the current demands of the industry. Trained faculty staff is motivated to offer Page 16 of 41 Self Assessment Report Electronic Engineering Department special training courses that are helpful for student in getting jobs. This practice has also increased the lab utilization and effective use of equipment in the respective labs. Standard 4-2 Courses in the major must be structured to ensure effective interaction between students, faculty and teaching assistants. Every faculty member provides already defined counselling hours weekly. Each teacher emphasizes a discussion on the objectives of the course and grading distribution in initial sessions. Every faculty member submits a course plan and sessional criteria to the respective class advisor at the beginning of the session. The attendance sheet of every class contains a field “Topic of the class”, which helps the advisor to track the progress of every course. Standard 4-3 Guidance on how to complete the Programme must be available to all students and access to qualified advising must be available to make course decisions and career choice. 4-3.1 Guidance to Students Students are encouraged to be responsible for knowing their own academic standing and requirements in reference to University standards, regulations, and degree completion. The University publishes the Undergraduate Prospectus every year describing all University Programme requirements. The mission, objectives, course requirements and course options for all the courses offered by the department are provided in the Prospectus. Department also provides important information on its website and notice boards, which provide the students with necessary curriculum information including the admission requirements, required courses and pre-requisites(if any) for each programme and list of elective courses. 4-3.2 Student Advising System In specific circumstances, students have to consult their respective advisors and obtain approval for special requests such as selection of courses. However, in all circumstances students are strongly encouraged to consult their respective advisors during course registration for seeking expert advice. The faculty members in the Department provide extra hours during these activities. Furthermore, the Student Affairs Department organizes lectures and social meetings in each academic year, where students and faculty exchange concerns and have informal discussions. The First Year students have session with library administration to get familiarity with the library and book lending system. The information related to library is also available on the library website and the library staffs help the student to use the library database system. The Department of Electronic Engineering also have its own library which contains the most referenced books in the Department. Moreover, the Final Year Project reports of all the passed out batches are present in this library. The students also have one session with the staff of computer centre, located in the Department of Electronic Engineering. The staff distributes the ID and PW of the student portal and also guides about the use of this portal. The portal contains the information related to courses offered, examination results and student attendance. 4-3.3 Student Counselling System Page 17 of 41 Self Assessment Report Electronic Engineering Department Counselling is a collaborative process, which involves the development of a unique, confidential help-oriented relationship. EL department treats all of its contacts with students in high confidentiality. Individual counselling: A student meets with a counsellor/teacher on a one-to-one basis to work through personal concerns. Group counselling: Counselling in groups offers a broad range of insight and support from peers and faculty. 4-3.4 Student Interaction The following summarize the opportunities available for students to interact: Orientation Day: The Orientation day is an annual event organized by the department on the first day of every year,i.e. spring semester of every year in which the department introduces all faculty members and officers of the University to the students. It also provides opportunity to seek more information for those students who have second thoughts about the field/discipline they have chosen. They can ask questions about the discipline and the future prospects with the faculty and the department’s administration. Special arrangements are made for this day including video demonstrations about Electronics Department (history, development, interviews of alumnietc). There are scheduled sessions in which the senior faculty of the department elaborate the facilities and the future scope of Electronics Department. Carrier Expo: Departmentorganises an annual event where industries are invited to observe students’ final year project and achievements. Companies conduct interviews and provide carrier advice to the students. In this way the student gets update about what is currently going on in the industry and how they can manage their studies to cope up with industry challenges. SPEC: Department organises another annual event called Student Project Exhibition and Competition (SPEC). The event was first organized in 2006 as an inter-departmental event, but within two years the event was organized at all Karachi level. Teams from all over the Karachi participate in different competitions of SPEC including Speed Programing, Hardware Design, Project Exhibition, Poster design competition etc. Judges (mostly alumni) are invited from industries so that they can judge and advice the students about their project according to the needs of the industry. SUMMER & WINTER SCHOOL: Department of OMAN IT (under the administration of Department of Electronic Engineering) organizes another technical session during winter and summer vacations. Students and faculty members are encouraged to attend the session in which training on two industry leading software is given. SPARK: Started in 2007, SPARK magazine is the voice of all the students of the department. The magazine not only contains engineering articles but also includes interviews of the faculty members and industry professionals, which is an effective way of reducing the gap between teacher and the student. The students also present their views about the university Page 18 of 41 Self Assessment Report Electronic Engineering Department administration, faculty and the environment which is another way of getting feedback from the students. The SPARK magazine has also encouraged students to improve their technical writing skills. The magazine also suffices the academic profile of all the students of Final Year, which is helpful for industries to sort most competent student according to their own criteria. The magazine is distributed free of cost to all the students of the department, while their official copies are sent to almost all the relevant companies.
