INTRODUCTION

The field of Civil Engineering Technology and its allied infrastructure industry has been the trademark of Pakistan’s finance from last many years. It is the largest employment sector and earns the highest amount of foreign reserve. Being the largest industrial sector, it needs a huge workforce with prominent level of skills. The Department of Civil Engineering Technology is established to engage the brightest students of the country and equip them with all skills necessary to manage the civil and urban infrastructure industry.

The Department of Civil Engineering Technology is distinguished from other institutes in several ways. It has state of the art labs related to designing, manufacturing and testing of all kinds of building materials as well as road materials and other infrastructural entities. It is offering a degree in Civil Engineering Technology which is more focused on hands-on experience. Civil Engineering Technology program has a staunch emphasis on more practical contents than theory. Continuous industrial visits, internships and projects will make the graduates more suitable for modern Civil Engineering Technology requirements.

Mission of Civil Engineering Technology Department

  • To produce technologists having advanced technical skills and ethical values to serve the society.
  • To provide an excellent platform to the Civil Engineering Technologist to improve technical skills.
  • To provide knowledge based technical services to the community in areas of Civil Engineering Technology.
  • To train the technologists in practical implementation of advanced techniques.

Accreditation History of Civil Engineering Technology Department

  • Batches Spring-2018 and Fall-2018 of Civil Engineering Technology Department were granted accreditation in April, 2023 (ref. No. NTC/12/05/Accreditation dated April 13, 2023).

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

After 3-5 years of graduation, graduate of BSc Civil Engineering Technology will be able to:

  • PEO-1: Apply knowledge and skills to provide sustainable solutions to challenging engineering field problems.
  • PEO-2: Pursue lifelong learning, continual professional development and sustainable growth of the society.
  • PEO-3: Manage engineering, technology and social problems effectively and innovatively while adhering to work ethics and social values.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

The twelve PLOs, as recommended by the NTC, for B.Sc. Civil Engineering Technology Program are:

  1. Engineering Technology Knowledge (SA1/PLO1): An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, natural science, Engineering Technology fundamentals and Engineering Technology specialization to defined and applied Engineering Technology procedures, processes, systems or methodologies.
  2. Problem Analysis (SA2/PLO2): An ability to identify, formulate, research literature and analyze broadly-defined Engineering Technology problems reaching substantiated conclusions using analytical tools appropriate to the discipline or area of specialization.
  3. Design/Development of Solutions (SA3/PLO3): An ability to design solutions for broadly-defined Engineering Technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components or processes to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
  4. Investigation (SA4/PLO4): An ability to conduct investigations of broadly-defined problems; locate, search and select relevant data from codes, data bases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusions.
  5. Modern Tool Usage (SA5/PLO5): An ability to Select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern technology and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to broadly-defined Engineering Technology problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
  6. The Engineering Technologist and Society (SA6/PLO6): An ability to demonstrate understanding of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to Engineering Technology practice and solutions to broadly defined Engineering Technology problems.
  7. Environment and Sustainability (SA7/PLO7): An ability to understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of Engineering Technology work in the solution of broadly defined Engineering Technology problems in societal and environmental contexts.
  8. Ethics (SA8/PLO8): Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of Engineering Technology practice.
  9. Individual and Teamwork (SA9/PLO9): An ability to Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams.
  10. Communication (SA10/PLO10): An ability to communicate effectively on broadly defined Engineering Technology activities with the Engineering Technologist community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
  11. Project Management (SA11/PLO11): An ability to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of Engineering Technology management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
  12. Lifelong Learning (SA12/PLO12): An ability to recognize the need for and have the ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in specialist Engineering Technologies.
