Prospectus 2015

The Founder
The GIK Institute is as dear to me as a child to his parents.

It gives me pleasure to see that the sapling we planted in
1993 is now a flowering tree providing its cool shade to
seekers of knowledge.
Ghulam Ishaq Khan
From the Rector

The past few years, like before, have been quite productive for the GIK Institute. A number of
new disciplines (undergraduate and postgraduate) have been introduced. Curriculum and
laboratories are being updated all the time and new equipment added. Student and faculty
numbers have increased substantially, without compromising quality. Student-teacher ratio has
improved. Collaboration has been established with several more reputable foreign universities
and faculty and students continue to shine at the national and international levels. All this has
been possible because of the hard work and dedication of our world class faculty, and the
support of our many friends, particularly the alumni. As a result, GIK continues to maintain its
high academic standards, and its position as one of the leading institutions of higher learning in
Pakistan.
A unique feature of GIK is that all students and faculty members have to live on its attractive, selfcontained and secure campus, which facilitates close interaction between teachers and
students, as well as among the students themselves. While the emphasis is on academics,
including research, students have an opportunity to participate in a range of activities outside
the classroom, which is essential to an all round education and personality development. Apart
from the excellent sports facilities, there are some two dozen students' societies: from art to
aero-modelling; from mathematics to media.
The GIK admissions process is based entirely on merit. Although we are a not-for-profit
institution, we try to ensure that the brightest students do not miss the opportunity of coming
here because of their limited financial resources. About one-fourth of the new intake will receive
scholarships or financial assistance, both from our own resources and with the help of our many
partners, which include alumni, philanthropists, companies and Federal and Provincial
governments, to whom we are grateful. The Institute disbursed more than Rupees thirty five
million from its own resources in the 2014-15 academic session in the form of scholarships and
interest free loans.
I look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to the GIK Institute.

UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2015
Chancellor
I note with satisfaction the progress
made by the Ghulam Ishaq Khan
Institute as a highly reputed centre of
excellence in engineering sciences
and technology. It is also gratifying to
learn that the Institute continues to
maintain its high standards of
teaching and research and is
producing graduates of great caliber
and potential who are contributing
significantly towards socioeconomic and industrial
development of the country.
Being a developing country, Pakistan needs a workforce which is
not only competent but is also imbued with a spirit to take the
challenges of nation building. Fortunately we have no dearth of
talent. Our youth is our asset. We need to exploit this huge
potential. By imparting quality education, we can transform our
youth and prepare them to acquire and assimilate the latest in
science and technology, to innovate, and to add to the body of
world knowledge, including the development of indigenous
technologies. A great responsibility, thus, lies on the universities,
like the GIK Institute, and other seats of higher learning. The
nation expects these institutions to produce the kind of
manpower that has the capacity and will to bring about
qualitative change in the society.
It is indeed heartening to note that GIK Institute is playing its role
and is contributing significantly towards the cause of nation
building. I therefore wish to commend the Board of Governors
and Executive Committee of the Institute, the faculty and the
entire staff of GIKI for their dedication and commitment. I trust
that they will continue discharging their responsibilities with
same vigor and enthusiasm.
I also welcome GIKI's initiative to increase number of students by
addition of modern engineering disciplines. I pray for even
greater success of this institute in its mission.
Mamnoon Hussain

President, SOPREST
Established more than a decade ago
the GIK Institute has, by the grace of
Almighty God, risen like a shining star
on the academic horizon of Pakistan
and won national and international
recognition for its high standard of

Former Chief Minister KPK
From the Pro-Rector (Academic)

The GIK Institute comprises of six engineering faculties as well as a Management Sciences
and Humanities department. Each of these faculties is research led and undertakes diverse
eld of study from investigation of human behaviour to range of complex engineering
problems. Students enrolled for BS, Master and PhD Degree programmes benet from
working alongside with highly qualied faculty members and supported by state-of-the-art
laboratories. The Institute has also embarked on an ambitious journey to adopt Outcome
Based Education (OBE) as part of its commitment to continuous improvement through
innovative teaching methods. OBE is an initiative of top ranked institutes in the USA to
improve the quality of graduates based on pre-dened Programme Learning Outcomes
(PLOs). On fully assimilating OBE system GIKI graduates would be at par with those of many
North American Universities, as a consequence our graduates would nd it easy to assimilate
in OBE based educational institutions across the globe with ease.
As you may be aware that a university is only as good as its faculty; we therefore set a high standard in attracting
faculty of repute. These are individuals with demonstrated ability, who are deeply committed to their vocation and
have outstanding track records in teaching and research. However we do not rest on our laurels and earnestly strive
to excel in teaching and research through academic collaborations and attracting research grants. Providing solution
to real world problem is paramount hence we forge industrial partnership that is of signicance to Institution, Region
and the Nation. At GIKI you will nd an informal yet disciplined academic environment. We rmly believe the
stimulating environment we provide helps the students in the realization of their not only intellectual potential but
also shape their moral and ethical attitude. It is therefore no wonder why our graduates are sought after by top notch
multi-national companies, research organisations or get accepted for higher education degree programmes in
reputed universities across the globe.
We adhere to our core values of intellectual freedom, moral uprightness, upholding the merit in decision we make
and a rm commitment to academic excellence. I invite you to visit GIKI Mission and Vision page to get further insight
to what we stand for and in which direction we are heading. GIK Institute stands on a solid foundation ably supported
by a team of committed professionals and enthusiastic students. I invite the brightest of brains to joins us in this
wonderful journey of academic pursuit where we address the challenges and enjoy the success together. Although
we have achieved many milestones, but for us best is yet to come. Welcome aboard!
Prof. Dr. Javed Ahmad Chattha
From the Pro-Rector (Admin. and Finance)

It is a matter of great pleasure and privilege for me to welcome you to the prestigious
seat of learning and centre of excellence. Administering the vast GIKI campus, which
includes the Faculties, Hostels, Civic Amenities, Faculty residence and many other
structures and services, poses a challenge within itself. This challenge is met by the
Administration, Finance, Procurement, Security and Protocol, Maintenance and Works
Departments, each headed by Director (Administration) and Director (Finance), Director
Procurement, Director (Works and Maintenance) and Director Security and Protocol
working under my supervision. These are based in the H. U. Beg Admin Block.
The Departments endeavors to work in close coordination with other faculties and
related departments, providing proactive administrative, financial and logistic support for all the activities of the
Institute. Managing the human and economic resources of the Institute within the overall ambit of financial
discipline, procurement of supplies, improving and maintaining horticultural beauty of the campus, meeting the
transport needs fall within the scope of Administration & Finance. It is thus one place to which you, as a student,
will stay connected to during your stay at the Institute, especially as office bearers of the 25 professional and
non-professional societies functioning in the Institute.
I take pride in the role which Administration and Finance play in GIK Institute, striving for academic excellence,
meeting both the needs of the academic faculties and the students.
All the best for the entrance test and looking forward to seeing you becoming a part of the unique Campus
having a life style of its own kind and carrying the title of Gikian for the rest of your life.

CAMPUS LIFE
Genesis
The Genesis of the Institute goes back to the early 50's when
Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan, during his close association with the
Water and Power Development Authority and the Pakistan
Industrial Development Corporation, became acutely aware of
Pakistan's dependence on foreign expertise and imported
technology. His frequent interaction with foreign and local
experts led to the idea of a center of excellence in engineering
sciences and production technology whose standards of
education would be comparable to those of its counterparts in
the advanced countries. The transformation of this idea into a
practical proposition took place in December 1985 when the
Benevolent Community Care and Infaq Foundation donated
Rs. 50 million for setting up an institute, and the Khyber
Pakhtun Khwa Government donated 218 acres of land for its
campus.
A milestone in the evolution of the Institute was the
registration, in June 1988, of its parent body, namely the
Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and
Technology in Pakistan (SOPREST). Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan, the
then President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, was elected
President of the Society for life and Mr. H. U. Beg appointed its
honorary Executive Director
The task of conceiving and formulating the basic form and
features of the Institute was entrusted to a group of eminent
scientists and engineers. Civil works at the campus site were
started in early 1990. An interim office of the Institute was set
up in August 1992 where experienced professionals worked

on the educational aims and philosophy of the Institute, its
curricula and details of equipment for its laboratories and
workshops. The ordinance for the establishment of the
Institute was promulgated by the Frontier Government in
March 1993 and the first batch of students entered its portals in
October 1993. It is the first not-for-profit, non-governmental
institute of its kind in the country and is dedicated to bring our
engineering education at par with that of advanced countries.
CAMPUS LIFE
Aims and Objectives

The aim of the Institute is to pursue excellence in education
and research by developing appropriate curricula and
teaching practices, acquiring talented faculty and providing
an environment conducive to teaching and learning. Its
graduates are expected to possess high professional
competence combined with the humanistic and moral values
envisaged in its Profile of the Graduates. The educational
philosophy of the Institute lays emphasis on training of the
mind rather than stuffing it with an inert body of facts; on
expanding the scientific imagination of the students rather
than making them tread well-worn and outmoded grooves of
thought. Guided by such convictions, the Institute educates
its students by confronting them with real-life problems, and
inculcating in them a problem-solving approach. They are
encouraged to explore and solve problems, to break new
grounds and to cultivate leadership qualities. Pakistan is on
the threshold of a major breakthrough in the technoindustrial fields and needs professionals with ability and
vision to lead the way. The Institute aims at producing such
professionals with a strong base of engineering education
and research. It strives to produce graduates who can
upgrade existing technological activities in the country and in
whom professional excellence is inseparable from a
commitment to the national ideals.
CAMPUS LIFE
Board of Governors
The Board of Governors sits at the apex of the statutory
pyramid of the Institute and its composition is the same as
that of the General Council of the Society for the Promotion
of Engineering Sciences and Technology. It has overall
control of the Institute, the powers to create new
components of the Institute such as a school, faculty or any
other teaching or research unit, and to change the
constitution of its Executive Committee and Governing
Council.

CAMPUS LIFE
Environment
Spread over an area of more than 400 acres, the Ghulam Ishaq
Khan Institute is located in the midst of the unspoilt and naturerich countryside of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of
Pakistan. Lying at the foot of the beautiful lake of Tarbela Dam,
one of the largest earth-filled dams of the world, it is set against
the picturesque backdrop of rolling hills, vast grassy fields with
the mighty Indus meandering across a lush green belt.
Bordering on its campus is the traditional village of Topi, the
birth place of Sahibzada Abdul Qayyum Khan, who was the
pioneer of modern education in the Province. Close by is the
ancient village of Hund where Alexander the Great crossed the
Indus. The surrounding area, once known as the land of
Ghandara, is dotted profusely with archaeological sites of great
cultural significance. These include the well-known sites of the

ancient seats of learning, the Taxila University of the Ghandara
period and the Buddhist monastery at Takht Bhai. To these seats
of learning flocked students and scholars from all over South
Asia, Central Asia and China. It is in this region that we find the
sayings of Ashoka carved on rocks at Shabaz Garhi; the Naighe
Gatte megaliths (stone columns) on the Swabi-Mardan road;
and numerous stupas and chambers which fire the imagination
of the visitors to the area with the mysteries and glories of its
past. The excavated sites around Taxila, at Takht Bhai, Dir and in
Swat Valley transport them back to the civilization that
flourished here almost 2500 years back. Exquisite relics of that
era are the treasured possessions of the museums at Lahore,
Peshawar, Karachi, Dir, Swat and Taxila.
In addition to its great historical character, the location of the
Institute offers many advantages. The northern areas of
Pakistan which attract expeditions from all over the world are
easily accessible from here. Perhaps the most important
advantage is the invaluable opportunities it offers for
establishing interaction between industry and the university.
Some of the most important national industries are located
quite close to the Institute. These include the Telephone
Industries of Pakistan, Heavy Mechanical Complex, Heavy
Foundry and Forge Engineering, Kamra Aeronautical Complex,
Heavy Rebuild Factory and Locomotive Complex. Their
proximity offers invaluable opportunities for practical training
of the students.
Location of the Institute

Though away from the congestion, noise and pollution of big
cities, the Institute has easy access to Islamabad and Peshawar.
Both cities are connected with the rest of the country through
frequent air, train and bus services. Islamabad, the capital of
Pakistan, has an international airport which provides ready
access to the outside world. The Institute is located just by the
river Indus, adjacent to Tarbela Dam, and near the border with
Punjab. Driving time from Islamabad is just over an hour mostly
along the Islamabad - Peshawar motorway.

International Advisory Board

The founding fathers of the Institute were conscious of the
fact that in spite of all the idealism one may have, new
institutions tend to regress towards the existing models,
and fail thereby to live up to the ideals which inspired their
creation. They therefore took care to build monitoring
devices to maintain the Institute's standards of education
and research. One such device is the International
Advisory Board consisting of leading scientists, engineers,
and academicians of international standing. The Board
sets up international standards for the Institute in terms of
the quality of education and research, the caliber of
faculty, revision and review of the curricula, and the
adequacy of the laboratory and library facilities. It also
reviews the development programs of the Institute and
provides guidelines for its growth in the future.

ACADEMICS
Attendance Rule
Although the students are expected to attend all the Lectures and
Laboratories work pertaining to their courses of study but are
required to attend at least 80% of the total Lectures/Lab work for
each course to qualify for appearance in the final examination.
Change in Courses
Once registered for a semester, students may add or drop courses
only with the approval of their Deans and in conformity with the
prescribed procedures and time-limits. Courses dropped during
this period are not shown on the semester result report or
transcript.
Registration Schedule
Students have to register for their courses during the period
specified for the purpose before the commencement of a
semester. The office of the Examinations, before the start of every
semester, will notify the registration deadline. Requests for late
registration for valid reasons can be entertained by the ProRector (Academic) till the end of the third week of a semester.
However, such students are required to pay Rs. 850 per day late
registration fee.
Registration in the Summer
Withdrawal from Courses

Students may withdraw from one or more courses with the
approval of their Dean between the 4th and 10th week of a
semester. In such cases, a W grade appears on their transcripts.
Any withdrawal after the 10th week entails award of an F grade in
the course.
Incomplete (I) Grade

An I grade is given to students in a course if:
An eight week summer session is organized each year for those

students who fail to qualify in a course or they have obtained a D
or a D+grade. The courses offered in the summer are decided by
the respective Deans office keeping in view the number of
students interested in taking a particular course. Students have to
pay separately for registering in a summer course. Students
cannot register in a higher level course during summer and the
maximum limit for registration is 8 Credit Hours.
The outstanding requirement, in such cases, is to be met during

the first two weeks of the next semester, and the students
themselves are responsible to make arrangement for the purpose
with their instructors. Failing this, the I grade is converted to F
grade. They cannot re-register for a course in which they have the
I grade. The grade point average of a student for a semester is
calculated excluding the I grade, and it is re-calculated when a
regular grade has been awarded in the course.
Double Degree Program
Repeating Courses
Graduates of the Institute desirous of obtaining a degree in a

discipline other than the previously earned degree can apply
afresh for a separate Double Degree Program. They would be
required to spend additional two to four semesters in the Institute
to complete the requirements of a double degree. The students
have to do a separate project for a Double Degree. The
acceptance in the Degree program and details of the
requirements are worked out by the respective Deans office and
communicated to the office of the Controller of Examinations.
Courses in which students secure F grade, and which are a

requirement for the degree have to be repeated in entirely. They
may opt for a substitute course only if there is an alternative in the
curriculum. Students can repeat courses for which they obtained
F, D+ or D grade, on the condition that they repeat the courses
within 3 semesters after the semesters in which they obtained
these grades. In case of repeated courses, all grades achieved by
students appear in their transcripts. However, only the latest
grade will be counted for the Cumulative Grade Point Average,
26
ACADEMICS

even if it is lower than the earlier one.
Interruption of Studies
If a student interrupts is study programs for a period longer than
one semester then, upon his return, all the credits previously
earned by him at the Institute are evaluated by the Dean to
determine their relevance to the changes made in the curriculum,
if any. He may be required to modify his degree plan to ensure
conformity to the latest version of the curriculum.
Institute-Industry Partnership Program

The recent advancement in science and technology has led to the
crumbling of the traditional geo-cultural barrier and the whole
world has been transformed into a single global market. This is a
challenging situation for the developing countries like Pakistan
who have to ensure for survival that their industries and
production systems are globally competitive. Pakistan is yet to
respond adequately to this challenge and has to gear up to cope

with the situation. One major input in this respect can be a close
liaison between industry and the pool of expertise in our
universities and research organizations. The Institute has taken
the initial steps in this direction by establishing the partnership
program.
Under the program the Institute invites industry to participate at
various membership levels. The membership provides flexible
and tailored access to students, faculty, research, publications,
seminars, workshops, and conferences, Corporate Liaison
Program is designated to serve as the firms personal
representative ensuring that the interactions between the
member firm and Institute are as productive as possible.
Recruiting assistance is provided to member firms in addition to
computerized database of undergraduate and graduate students
seeking permanent, summer, or co-operative job opportunities.
Graduate fellowships are also available for support. The liaison
provides compus-wide visibility and access to resources of the
GIK Institute.
Continuing Education Program

The last few decades have witnessed a vertiginous pace of
advancement in almost all fields of science and technology. The
galloping technological advancements have created a host of
socio-cultural dislocations and prominent amongst them is the
rapid obsolescence of the know-how of technologists and
engineers. What they had learnt at schools or universities
becomes antiquated within years of the commencement of their
practical careers. It poses new challenges for technical universities
and creates new role for them.
The Institute has responded to this need and established a
Continuing Education Programme for the purpose. Under this
programme a faculty committee is assigned the task of surveying
national industries for identification of their need for updating of
technical personnel, and to apprise them of the expertise
available at the Institute. The programme was inaugurated in
summer 1995 with intensive short courses for engineers and
managers from industries. The Institute is now offering intensive
courses on a number of subjects to managers, supervisors and
engineers from public and private sector industries and
organizations.

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think,

than what to think. Among all the decisions taken by me in my life
coming to GIKI was the most prodigious one. An educational system
isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a
living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. GIKI develops
critical thinking, confidence, and social interaction by providing
fierce competition and a rich set of co- curricular activities. GIKI
builds knowledge and amalgamates problem solving with
intelligence to make a person to be able to face real technical
challenges of the world. The institute has helped me to enhance
and practically apply my skills while studying in a dynamic and a
visionary environment, and also to strive and attain as much possible
perfection in the field of Computer Science.

Electrical Engineering-An Ever-Expanding Field
Electrical Engineering is one of the oldest disciplines of
engineering. Initially it was confined to few areas such as power
generation, transmission and distribution; radio communication
and wireless telephony. However, in fifty years, it has seen
tremendous growth and expansion in some areas of Electrical
Engineering. The diversification and expansion in some areas of
Electrical Engineering has been of such a large magnitude that
they seem to be independent disciplines in their own. These
include Electronic Engineering, Power Engineering,
Telecommunication, Computer Engineering, Information
Technology, and Control Systems. However, in a large part of the
world, Electrical Engineering is still considered to be the parent
discipline.
Electrical Power Engineering is an important and vital discipline
in Pakistan due to present crisis in power generation. The main
aim of this discipline is not only to study existing methods of
power generation, transmission and distribution but also to study
the new ways of power generation i.e., renewable and
sustainable technologies. The Electrical Power Engineering
Program covers a broad range of activities and evolving issues
that are of great importance in the field of sustainable and smart
power systems.
With the turn of the century, we have entered a new era in which
micro and nano-fabrication technologies. With the new chip
design methods at these scales, System-On-Chip has enabled
to bring millions of devices in small sized chips, thus enhancing
exponential capabilities offered by the electronic devices. Other
micro-fabrication technologies related to the fields such as
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems), are now reaching a
point of being able to contribute in the same way.
The immense development in the field of microelectronics has
generated an ever-increasing demand for electronic and
electrical engineers to cope not only with the development in
traditional fields like communications, robotics, digital signal
processing, power and control systems but should also have a
good knowledge base and theoretical understanding of the
emerging areas like biomedical instrumentation (where
biological samples can be tested and analyzed on a single chip
(lab-on-a-chip)), security & surveillance and biometrics.
Keeping in mind the latest requirements of the national and
international job market and research trends, Faculty of
Electrical Engineering has designed an updated curriculum and
offers high-quality courses aimed at individuals who can
amicably meet these challenges. The program of study enables

them to lead the teams of future young engineers and to realize
their innovative ideas. The faculty also provides student with the
opportunity to learn how research carried out by the faculty
members is transformed into education.
Undergraduate Program
The Faculty offers a four-year degree program through courses
that are modular in nature and are evenly spread across eight
regular semesters. The theoretical education obtained in the
classroom is reinforced with laboratory work. These laboratories,
which accompany more than 70% of the courses, are equipped
with the latest pedagogical tools to illustrate important concepts,
and provide a practical demonstration of them. In the final two
years, students can opt for one of the following streams:
Specialization in Electronic Engineering

Students are asigned projects and suitable advanced elective courses
to develop expertise in the specialized areas. Maximum efforts are
made to induct equal number of students into the various streams.
The vigorous growth of the electro-optic industries, lasers,
semiconductor technology, instrumentation and simulation of
systems has created a demand for engineers who can completely cope
with the present and future demands of the modern industry. The
graduates of engineering sciences will be suitable for industry that is
involved not only in production but also in research and development
both within the country and abroad. Already, within the country a
number of organizations are pursuing R & D work and production in
engineering field of technologies. At present the main power for such
organizations in these fields is either trained or the assistance of
foreign consultants is sought. The graduates of this faculty will be wellequipped to fill this gap in national expertise, and can look forward to
highly rewarding careers as also discussed below.
Undergraduate Programs: Faculty of Engineering Sciences offers
program in three contemporary fields of engineering. These include
lasers and optoelectronics, semiconductor and superconducting
technologies and modeling and simulation. The Institute is the trendsetter in establishing these programs within the country which is duly
accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council. Students are required
to opt for the specialization during third year (5th Semester) of their
studies. In order to complete the degree requirement students must
complete 13 credit hours in one of the specialization fields mentioned
below.
Laser and Optoelectronics Located at the crossroads of natural
sciences and engineering, Lasers and Optoelectronics encompasses
the use of lasers from probing atomic media to laser treatment of
living tissues and from laser cutting to design of laser guided missiles
and much more. The Nobel Prize 1964 in Physics to Basov, Prokhorov
and Townes highlighted the importance of Lasers and the subsequent
rapid progress in the field of Lasers highlighted the everlasting impact
which Lasers continue to have on our society. The Faculty of
Engineering Sciences under the stream of Lasers and Optoelectronics
provides state of art working facilities ranging from simple diode
lasers to high power cutting lasers, optical communication systems to
high precision spectrometers. The course content has been designed
to enable the students to gain an insight into the basic working and
design principles of lasers and Optical communications.
Laser and optoelectronics based technologies are the central to the

modern life. For example, they are needed to make and inspect the
integrated circuits in nearly every electronics device we use. They are
used in high-efficiency lighting, displays, and the harvesting of solar
power. Optical fibers have enabled the internet and laser is essential to
precision manufacturing and metrology, and a plethora of medical
applications including clinical diagnosis, surgery, and genome
mapping.
Career in Laser and Optoelectronics Laser, optoelectronics and
photonics is playing a huge role in the world economy and many jobs
are available in industrial, defense, research, telecommunication and
medical organizations.
BS. Degree in Engineering Sciences with major in Laser and
optoelectronics will enable students to analyze and design optical and
laser systems for a broad set of applications including manufacturing,
healthcare, telecommunication, defense, security, and entertainment.
The curriculum of lasers and optoelectronics also provides the
students a firm support to pursue their higher studies in the field of
lasers and Optics.
Modeling and Simulation: Modeling and simulation is a dynamic field
that is utilized in engineering, science, health science, business,
education and many other disciplines. This emerging field is based on
developments in diverse engineering areas and brings elements of art,
engineering, and science together in a complex and unique way that
requires domain experts to enable appropriate decisions when it
comes to application or development of modeling and simulation
technology. Generally, modeling and simulation is a discipline of
designing mathematical model of actual or theoretical physical
systems executing the model on a computer and analyzing the
execution output. Due to its dynamic nature, the modeling and
simulation field has tremendous potential for creating student interest
in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines.
Computer simulations are extensively being used in aerospace
industry, automobile systems, financial markets, environment systems
and medical sciences. Students graduated in this discipline get
attractive jobs opportunities in almost all industries including national
and multi-national sectors.
Modeling and simulation is playing a vital role to solve problems from
almost all domains. Most of the time an investment in Modeling and
Simulation saves more than it costs. Modeling and simulation is very
important because the description of the system behavior by
experimentation might not be feasible due to the following reasons.
Some experiments may be very harmful
Some experiments might take longer time than expected and
75
also may be very costly
There might be obstructions during experimentation
We might not have access to inputs and outputs.
Career in Modeling and Simulation
Oil and gas industry: (e.g. reservoir characterization)
Space/defense industry:(e.g. in national security mission,

simulation of universe, space vehicles and missile trajectories)
Software systems: (e.g. simulation software used by Google,

IBM)
Chemical interactions: (e.g. paper and pulp industry).
Semiconductor and Superconducting Technologies: Semiconductor

and superconducting technologies are the hardcore of electronics e.g.
modern electronics, communication systems, defence industry,
automobile, medical diagnostic equipment, biomedical electronic and
aerospace industry. Semiconductor is not only limited to the above
mentioned areas but it opens interdisciplinary opportunities in the
area of photonics, materials, chemicals and MEMS. Semiconductor is
also a core of nanotechnology. A developing technology which has
potential to improve our quality of life in diverse ways, such as faster
electronics huge memory/storage capacity for Pcs. Semiconductor
technology provide the state of art solutions to the photovoltaic
technology for the economical production and storage of electricity.
Organic semiconductor is another newly developed stream of
semiconductor for the production of OLEDs, flexible displays and a
variety of multifunctional sensors. Semiconductor students can
explore new horizons for the betterment of humanity and can upraise
the standard of living by providing economical and efficient solutions
to the problems.
Career in Semiconductor and superconductor BS degree in
Engineering Sciences with major in semiconductor and
superconductor technology will enable students to pursue their
carriers in all kind of electronic equipment manufacturing industry.
They can excel in R&D defense organizations (Space, Missiles,
Communicationetc). Semiconductor students can also pursue their
carriers in the renewable energy technologies (Solar, Wind, Tidal etc)
and power electronics.
This stream also provides the students with the option of pursuing
interdisciplinary careers in the field of nanotechnology, Micro
electromechanical systems (MEMS), organic semiconductors and
renewable energy resources.

Introduction
Enormous changes are taking place in the development of new
and exotic materials. These developments are due to several
reasons. Firstly, application of basic sciences by materials
engineers to understand and explain the synthesis, structure and
behavior of materials. Secondly, the availability of sophisticated
technology to materials engineers to manipulate materials on the
size of nano scale. Thirdly, due to the driving force from the
market where new and exotic materials are required for various
advanced applications such as in transportation, health care,
energy production, biomedical implants, and aerospace industry.
Thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical, mechanical and chemical
properties of materials are continuously being improved by
materials engineers all over the world which in turn leads to
improvements in our life style.
Undergraduate Program
Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering in Ghulam Ishaq
Khan Institute for Engineering Sciences and Technology is striving
to educate and train professionally competent and skilled
graduates in the field of materials science and engineering,
specifically in two specializations of Manufacturing and
Nanotechnology. For this purpose talented faculty with
international qualification have been hired; sophisticated
equipments such as atomic force microscope have been procured
and a new four years' BS program in Nanotechnology has been
launched since Fall 2012. The importance of nanotechnology can

be judged from the fact that over 200 products in the market
today use nano particles for various purposes.
Every effort is being made to create conducive environment for
students to learn latest courses in theory and develop practical
skills in the labs. To ensure quality of teaching, outcome based
education was introduced from Fall 2014 and the curriculum for
both the Specializations was revised in April 2015 and the revised
curricula are not only geared to the demands of the world of work
but also they meet international standards.
Graduate Program
In addition to educating and training undergraduates, the faculty
also conducts post graduate teaching and research programs. For
this purpose, graduate engineers with BS degree are enrolled to
study at the MS and Ph.D levels in the areas of Super alloys,
Ceramics, Composites, Biomaterials, Corrosion Engineering,
Smart materials and Nanotechnology. Most of the students
enrolled for MS and Ph.D are financially supported by various
sources including GIKI during their post graduate studies. These
students are required to complete the prescribed course work as
well as demonstrate their research capability through
independently conducting research in the lab.
Careers in Materials Engineering

In terms of opportunities of jobs after graduation, majority of our
graduates are hired by national and multinational research and
academic institutions and industry within one year of graduation.
Lately, opportunities for post graduate research leading to MS
and Ph.D degree outside Pakistan are on the rise and it is
encouraging to note that our graduates are competing
successfully in international competition for grabbing
opportunities of jobs and research. ASM-TMS International
Student Chapter
The International Student Chapter of TMS at GIK Institute helps
students in professional development and training. Its activities
include organization of seminars, video shows, discussions and
industrial visits.
89
Program Outcome
The graduates should be able to have good understanding of
basic, social and engineering courses to demonstrate their
abilities to work and lead the national and multinational
organizations. They are also expected to carry out research in
new and advanced materials and nanotechnology.
Accreditation
The BS Degree in Materials Engineering is accredited by the
Pakistan Engineering Council.

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Rapid commercialization of conventional and modern, man-made
products gave birth to process industry. The dynamics of the
industry require group of highly trained professionals from almost
all engineering disciplines. However, a chemical engineer
organizes his/her coordination at the process plant and thus
deemed as process brain. Such responsibility demands basic
knowledge of all conventional trades of engineering in addition to
an in-depth knowledge of large-scale industrial dynamics.
Chemical engineering is all about changing raw materials into
useful products in safe, cost effective and eco-frinedly ways.
Sustainable development of process industry and thereby
contributing to the continual improvement of daily life is an
exclusive responsibility of this trade.
engineers not only supervising & ensuring their smooth operation

but also for troubleshooting, demanding interaction between the
engineers and scientists from various other fields. Resources at the
faculty are designed to inculcate the necessary knowledge,
practices and behavioural aspects in the graduates, and
prerequisites for the responsibilities of professional life. Chemical
engineers find their utility in various industries including chemical
& petrochemical, nuclear, energy, oil & gas, food, pharmaceutical,
cosmetics, and in various defense sectors, in addition to emerging
research fields. Furthermore, these engineers are equipped to
collaborate with different resources at the plant including
management, utility engineers and above all with the technicians
and plant operators as they will be their observing eyes in the field.
The faculty of chemical engineering at Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute

offers a 4-years degree program covering a thorough grounding in
basic science & engineering. In addition to that, it provides
specialized training in chemical engineering and application of the
various fields. Curriculum is designed so as to impart the
indispensable knowledge for a chemical engineer at an
undergraduate level, particularly the knowledge required to cope
with the problems of local industry.
Program Outcomes
The newly established laboratories are the prime feature, providing

state-of-the-art equipment. Most of the laboratories are designed
having conventional aspects imitated by the more sophisticated
and risk free digital equipment. Experiments are designed to
trigger the thinking of students and not just mere data logging.
Graduates should be sound in fundamentals of engineering in

addition to the advanced knowledge of this Particular field. They
are expected to act logically and ethically both in normal operating
conditions and under stress induced by any plant emergency. They
should behave like a captain of the ship having keen observation
on the plant activities and be able to communication with other
professionals at the facility.
Accreditation
The BS Degree in Chemical Engineering is accredited by Pakistan
Engineering Council (PEC).
Careers in Chemical Engineering

Quality of modern living standards has encouraged the mass
production of various utilities, necessities and amenities. Since the
birth of process & processing industry, after 18th century, there is a
dramatic increase in its volume. Population trends and a chain of
never ending new/modern products ensures the growth in this
sector. Furthermore struggling third world countries like Pakistan
are now focusing to process their raw materials in their own
facilities. When it comes to realization, chemical engineers become
an essential part of the team to chart the layout and erection of the
new production line. Existing plants also require chemical

Mode of Delivery
The courses will be delivered in the format normal to all GIK
undergraduate courses. That is, typically, courses will be taught
in small lecture sections permitting active involvement of
students. Many of the courses will require group assignments
and group work. In a number of courses the cases will be used to
complement normal teaching by topics. That is, students will be
presented with cases in advance of the classes, and these cases
will integrate what they have learned both in the course in
question and in other courses. Students will come to class
prepared to discuss the cases. Alumni and guest speakers will be
invited to lectures to add relevance and real life application to
our courses. Some courses will provide students with the
experience of actively engaging in situations that are simulated
to reflect a variety of different work cultures. The simulations will
require the students to incorporate theoretical knowledge
gained in their current course and from other courses in the

GIK Institute Alumni (http://www.giki.edu.pk/Alumni)

Ever since I was in school, I had my heart set on going to GIKI and becoming a sort of a mad scientist/engineer. You can
imagine my delight when I was admitted in Fall of 2000. GIKI was a place where there was so much opportunity to grow.
The quiet and serene environment made me focus on my passion of creating software programs to solve problems. Over
time I worked with lots of brilliant soon-to-be engineers on problems ranging from automation to artificial intelligence.
That clear-headedness and focus helps me to this day where we work in the cutting edge of the software industry under
immense pressure. Things move at a rapid pace and you need to have focus and the know-how to keep up with the
changes. GIKI has taught me to work under pressure and be creative at the same time. The lessons you learn here always
stay with you no matter how many years pass.
Muhammad Nasrullah (Batch 10, FCSE)
Vice President Engineering, Convo
I owe a lot to GIKI. After graduating from GIKI, I got interviewed by Schlumberger and started my career with them and
after 14 years, I am still with them. I met Uzma, my wife, in GIKI as well. She also works for Schlumberger. Together we
have lived and worked in Indonesia, Scotland, Norway, Dubai and now in Houston. I spent the first five years of my career
in the field, mostly at the drilling rig locations from the hot and humid swamp jungles of Indonesia to the ice cold
offshore platforms of the North Sea, running high tech logging and drilling tools in oil-wells. Then I moved to
management and have had various roles since. My current role is that of Recruiting and Training manager for
Schlumberger, Drilling & Measurements, based in Houston, Texas. During my stay at GIKI, I think I developed an
approach to problem solving and self-confidence in communicating, which have helped me a lot in my career. On the
academic side my fondest memories include getting on the Dean's list in my 7th Semester. Otherwise I have great
memories of all the times spent in sporting events or just hanging out with friends, some of whom are still my best
friends today.
Babar Zulquernain (Batch 1, FEE)
Recruiting, Training & Development Manager - Drilling and Measurements, Schlumberger USA
Every day that I spent at GIKI with my friends contributed to my fondest memories; the late nighters, the after-classes
hang outs, and the dhood patti sessions at the tea stall up the hillock. I experienced brilliant and extremely competitive
cohort of students and the faculty. We, being the first batch, were extremely lucky. There was no real competition GIKI
was the only private university offering engineering degree those days, the faculty was extremely devoted, all involved in
the Project GIKI were running high on adrenaline and their founder spirit was running in their blood. The first batch
benefited a lot from all these positives. I enjoyed being challenged in the class every single day. Everything that we did
was the first. The first inter-faculty cricket tournament, the first basant, the first club, the first basketball competition,
the first concert, the first dramatics, the first debates competition. It was that spirit of being the first and the knowledge
of the responsibility that comes with it, that I enjoyed the most. We came from the time when students in UETs were
taking 6-8 years to complete their engineering degree. So when GIKI was instituted that was the only option we had.
Although we joined GIKI mainly through lack of any other option but in retrospect even if we had other options most of
us would still have joined GIKI. I did well in academic; graduated third in my batch from GIKI and during my MS from
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign; I was awarded Siebel Fellowship for academic excellence. I have worked in
several prestigious companies (Schlumberger, Techlogix and Oracle) both in Pakistan and abroad. I have worked! in
several countries: Pakistan, Indonesia, Qatar, UAE, USA, China, UK, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, New
Zealand, Hong Kong. The Computer Systems Engineering degree was a well rounded degree. It had a broader focus
covering computer science, mechanical, electronics etc. the degree made me a true engineer i.e. someone who solves
problems. In my career I have worked in different capacities ranging from Oil exploration to software development to
sales and project delivery. Had it not been the diversified nature of the degree I may not have done as well as I did in
whatever job I undertook. The degree gave me the confidence and ability to solve problems and that is the whole gist
of what my career has been built upon. Thank you GIKI for the friends, the memories, the skills, the education, the
teachers and the confidence that you have given me. All of these shine over me and help me excel in my profession and
my personal life.
