The Department of Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering offers degrees at undergraduate and post-graduate level equally. It offers Bachelor of Engineering in Electronic Engineering and a Bachelor of Telecommunication Engineering. It will fulfill the more acute need of the development of the country by producing qualified Engineers at both levels. The program offered will also provide technical man power for the development and production of the Electronic & Telecommunication fields in the country. Themes of few important schemes/work to be undertaken, are recapitulated as under:

i) To provide research expertise to both public and private Sectors such as PTCL, PTV, SUPRACO, Philips, Siemens, Alcatel,       CATI and other organizations.

ii) To provide qualified engineers and technologists up to postgraduate level and to develop indigenous capability of planning, designing and executing various development projects so as to decrease the reliance on foreign expertise.

iii) To further improve academic standard at the department by redesigning of curriculum in consonance with needs and requirements for future engineers of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering.

The field of Electronic Engineering encompasses the knowledge of electronic components/devices and circuits used in the appliances such as radio, television, recorders/players, microwave ovens, etc. The courses taught are regularly updated to keep abreast of the new knowledge and development. The students also undertake a project during their final year, which helps them to enhance their capabilities as young design engineers. The theory classes are well supported by laboratory work. We have seven big Laboratories:

· Advance Computer Lab.

· Digital Electronics Lab.

· PC-based Instrumentation Lab.

· Microprocessor Application Lab.

· Control and Automation Lab.

· Telecommunication Lab.

· Data Communication & Networking Lab.

· Optoelectronics and Biomedical Lab.

· Telematics and Advanced Telecommunication Lab.

· Interactive Cyber Lab.

These laboratories are equipped with latest equipment ranging from basic electronic device simulators and trainers to more advanced telecommunications trainers. Excellent course work and due practical experience, provide ample job opportunities to our graduates in both public and private sector industries and organizations such as PTCL.,PTV, PIA, SUPARCO, Philips, Siemens, Alcatel , CATI, CAA and other multinational companies.

The rapid advancement of Telecommunication has shrunk the whole world into a village. Every day, new improved and enhanced services are being offered by telecommunication companies. Telecommunication links and channels are depleting fast due to ever increasing demand. A fiber optic link has already been laid down through out Pakistan on the right side of River Indus to cater demand of telecommunication users. Every day, a new telecommunication company comes on the surface and the industry is expanding very fast. Seeing this rapid advancement, the department has started new programs both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The bachelor’s degree in Telecommunication Engineering will provide qualified engineers to multinational telecommunication companies like PTCL, Paktel, Instaphone and Mobilink etc.

The enhanced facilities of telecommunication laboratories of the department such as Fiber Optic Trainers, Color TV trainers, Microwave Trainers, Transmission Line Trainers, High Frequency Spectrum Analyzers, Weather Satellite Receivers, Logic Analyzers, and PLC Trainers, will help in producing quality manpower for the economic development of Telecommunication in the country. The expansion and modernization of industry demands need of qualified telecommunication engineers who must be equipped with latest telecommunication techniques. Ministry of science and technology has also approved a project to strethening laboratories and library of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering Department. An amount of Rs. 39.678 million was allocated for the project, which is in completion stage. The project will enable the faculty members to use sophisticated and precision equipment for teaching & research projects. It will help provide students access to latest laboratory equipment, library books and journals for course and research work. Under the project Rs. 2.5 million have also been earmarked for the development of faculty staff. .

Frequent visits to industries are also organized for the department to acquaint students with the field experiences and practical environment. An internship program is launched in collaboration with local industry during summer vacation for third year and final year students, which has given fruitful results. The students are also encouraged to participate in Seminars and software competitions, such as IEEEP student seminar. A.Q. Khan software competition held on and around campus at National level.

The department also rewards their good students by giving them gold medals. It offers two medals to the first position holders in the final year and to the best graduate of the department. A new air-conditioned seminar library was established in the Department and has been named after the late Professor M.D. Makhdoom.
