Automotive Engineering Technology

INTRODUCTION

The automotive industry is one of the fast growing industries in Pakistan. Industry runs in short of experts in vehicle designing, manufacturing, repairing and maintaining. Seeing such a vast potential for employment, the Department of Automobile Engineering was started to train the students and make them industry ready in areas of automotive and manufacturing.

The Department of Automobile Engineering provides the students with opportunities to advance themselves in their career and become graduated engineers in the speciality of Automobile Engineering. The theoretical components of Automobile Technology are amply supported with exposure to practical situations, in our well-equipped laboratories.

MISSION

The mission of the Automotive Engineering Technology program is to provide an undergraduate educational program emphasizing sound application of scientific and engineering knowledge combined with technical skills to produce graduates who will become responsible, ethical, and contributing leaders in industry and government with lifelong learning skills necessary to cope the challenges of modern era.

Accreditation History of Automotive Engineering Technology Department

Batches Spring-2018 and Fall-2018 of Automotive Engineering Technology Department were granted accreditation in April, 2023
Batch Fall-2019 of Automotive Engineering Technology Department was granted accreditation in October 2023

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Following are the three PEOs of B.E. Tech (Automotive) Program desired to highlight the attributes

amongst our alumni five years after their graduation.

PEO 1: Empower students as adept technologists, addressing diverse technology challenges, enhancing professional competence through acquiring latest techniques and skills for effective solutions.

PEO 2: Pursue lifelong learning, continual professional development, and sustainable growth of the society.

PEO 3: Develop ethical leadership, cultural respect, and individual responsibility while fostering teamwork to ensure the sustainability, safety, and well-being of society and the environment.
