Institute of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering
Since irrigation plays a crucial role in the agriculture sector through out Pakistan, and particularly in Sindh province, the above named Institute was established in 1987 to cater for specialized needs of the irrigation and drainage systems. The Institute of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering offers full-time (morning and evening) programs for studies leading to the degrees of M.E., M.Phil. and Ph.D. as well as part-time programs for M.Phil. and Ph.D. Further information in this regard may be obtained from:

Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management
The First Earth Summit was a major step towards the recognition of the environmental pollution at a global scale. It was realized by the governments that the industrial activities and increasing population have degraded the environment to a level, which requires sustainable development.

Now, most of the countries have Environmental Protection Agencies, which are made responsible for the protection and prevention of the environmental pollution under their respective boundaries. Though every country has its own nature of environmental problems and priorities but being the part of global village it is the responsibility of individual country to abide the international laws and guidelines.

Deteriorating water quality and no-availability of fresh water, poor sewerage systems, inadequate management of solid waste, air and noise pollution from traffic congestion, commercial and industrial activities are the major environmental issues of urban centers. Poor water improper sanitation, agricultural pollution, water logging and salinity, soil degradation, rangeland degradation and deforestation are the major environmental problems of rural areas and Pakistan is no exceptional case.

There is an urgent need of trained personnel to address these issues in a scientific and technical manner. Keeping this in view, an Environmental Studies Division was set up within the Department of Chemical engineering on December 5, 1989. This Division was converted into Institute of Environmental Engineering and Management (IEEM) in March, 1993. From 1995 to 2000 the institute was offering both full time and part time M.E programs in Environmental Engineering but from 2001 only full time programs (morning and evening) are offered. M.E program comprises of a prescribed course work of three semesters each of 06 months and thesis (06 months). At the end of course work, students who get 60% aggregate qualify for M.E. thesis project and others get only postgraduate diploma. Those who do not get 50% in each course they are given postgraduate certificate in subject(s). More details about the course and other activities of the Institute may be obtained from:
