PREFCE
The curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a roadmap or plan of teaching-
learning process that students of an academic program are required to undergo. It
includes objectives and learning outcomes, course contents, scheme of studies, teaching
approaches, and assessment methodologies. Since knowledge in all fields and sectors is
expanding at a faster pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that
curricula should be dynamic having regular review and updation.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) was the designated authority to develop,
review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vides Section 3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), Act
of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula and Textbooks and
Maintenance of Standard of Education”. With the repeal of UGC Act, the same function
was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance of 2002,
Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v). In compliance with the above provisions, the HEC has
been undertaking the development of curricula for new/ emerging fields and revision of
curricula after regular intervals through respective National Curriculum Revision
Committees (NCRCs) until 2018.
As a policy change and expanding higher education base under HEC, the curriculum
review and development task has been shifted to the respective regulators and HEIs.
PEC also having mandate under its Act of Parliament and especially after attaining
Washington Accord full signatory status and IPEA licensing authority, took up the
challenge to review and develop the curricula for engineering programs based on
Outcome-Based Education (OBE) System. PEC has therefore constituted an
Engineering Curriculum Review and Development (ECRDC) and also subject ECRDCs
comprising of eminent engineers and professionals from academia and industry to take
up the task of curricula review and updation. Nevertheless, the basic templates
developed by HEC NCRCs have been followed as guidelines.
Under OBE based curriculum review and development framework, PEC held national
and regional levels stakeholders and industrial consultation workshops engaging HEIs,
industry, technical and consulting organizations. The experts’ feedback and suggestions
were translated into the curriculum review process taking into consideration of the
dynamics of technological advancement, industrial needs and management-cum-soft
skills for engineering graduates.

iii
Curriculum of Avionics Engineering / Electrical Engineering (Avionics)

This curriculum document would serve as a guideline whereas allowing HEIs to tame/
change within the framework by introducing courses in support of local/ required
industrial demand as well as satisfying 12 GAs (Graduate Attributes) covering core and
elective courses, considered as beauty of OBE system in the international environment.
At the same time, this curriculum framework would fulfill our national, social and
economic needs leading towards attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs-
2030). It would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan Qualification
Framework to make it compatible with international educational standards.

1. Engineering Curriculum Review & Development Committee


(ECRDC)
PEC in its efforts towards quality engineering education, took up the challenge of
curriculum review and development for engineering programs after due consent of
HEC. A high level Engineering Curriculum Review and Development Committee
(ECRDC), led by Prof Engr Dr Fazal Ahmad Khalid, Chairman Punjab HEC/ Vice
Chairman PEC, was constituted whereas other eminent members are from industry and
academia to take up the task of curricula review and updation, besides developing
curriculum for new/ emerging fields. The main responsibility of ECRDC is to oversee
the entire curriculum review and development process while setting policies and
guidelines for the subject ECRDCs working in their respective domains. The 1st
meeting of main ECRDC was held on 29th June, 2018 at PEC HQ, Islamabad, wherein

3. OBE-Based Curriculum Development Framework


Outcome Based Education (OBE) is an approach of teaching and learning that focuses
on what students should be able to attain at the end of the educational program. OBE is
a student’s centered system which concerns what the students will know and be able to
do as learning outcomes. The curriculum development under OBE is therefore an
integration of graduate attributes and stakeholders’ feedback in cognizance with
institution’s Vision and Mission.

4. PDCA Approach to Curriculum Design and Development


The process of curriculum design and development constitutes various interconnected
elements with the objective of achieving the intended purpose of the program. The Plan-
Do-Check-Act approach (PDCA) as explained below has been followed in the
curriculum development and review process.

Plan. This stage begins with an analysis of the stakeholders' needs of faculty, current
and past students, employers and society in general. The stakeholders' needs are
translated into human resource terminology i.e. graduate competencies which in turn
translated into educational taxonomy and learning outcomes. Based on the learning
outcomes, curriculum is designed backward to meet PLOs.

4
Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

Do. The plan stage is implemented where curriculum is delivered and learning outcomes
are assessed to gauge the achievement of PLOs.
Check. This stage involves the analysis of assessment results and feedback from
students and faculty. Areas for improvement are identified.
Act. When the learning outcomes are achieved, the curriculum, learning and teaching
strategies and assessment methods are standardized. Best practices are shared and
improvement is made for the next cycle of PDCA.

Curriculum of Avionics Engineering / Electrical Engineering (Avionics)

8. Program Salient Features


The undergraduate engineering program has been based on the following salient
features:

 Duration: 4 years
 Number of Semesters: 8
 Total number of credit hours: 130 - 136
o Engineering Domain: minimum 85 credit hours
o Non-Engineering Domain: minimum 30 Credit Hours
(HEIs have flexibility of 15-21 Credit Hours to add courses either in
Engineering, Non-Engineering or both Domains to fulfill the program
objectives in line with the overall Vision/ Mission of the Institute
concerned).

● Additional Course or Credit Hours Requirements: Any addition of course


or credit hour requirements as per direction or policy of the Government
(Provincial or Federal), HEIs have leverage to cater such needs over and above
the prescribed requirements in this document.

● Number of weeks per semester: 15 - 18

● Number of credit hours per semester: 15 - 18

● Curriculum: The engineering curriculum is the most important instrument for


grooming the students based on 12 Graduate Attributes (GAs) encompassed
under the Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). In order to inculcate different
dimensions of thinking – mathematical, computational, design and creative –
among students in Cognitive, Psychomotor and Affective domains, the
curriculum is based on the following knowledge profiles:
WK1 - Natural Sciences: A systematic theory-based understanding of
natural sciences applicable to the discipline.
WK2 - Mathematics and Computing: The concept-based mathematical
thinking, numerical analysis, statistics and formal aspects of
computer and information science to support analysis and modeling
applicable to the discipline.

14
Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

WK3 - Engineering Fundamentals: A systematic, theory-based


formulation of engineering fundamentals required in an engineering
discipline.
WK4 - Engineering Specialization: The knowledge of engineering
specialization that provides theoretical frameworks and bodies of
knowledge for the accepted practice areas that are at the forefront in
a discipline.
WK5 - Engineering Design: The Design Thinking Knowledge that supports
engineering design in a practice area of an engineering discipline.
WK6 - Engineering Practice: The Knowledge of engineering practices
(technology) in different practice areas of an engineering discipline.
WK7 - Engineering in Society: A systematic, comprehension-based
knowledge of the role of engineers in a society and the professional
issues related to practicing engineering profession in a discipline:
ethics and the professional responsibility of an engineer to public
safety including the impact of an engineering activity i.e. economic,
social, cultural, and environmental and sustainability.
WK8 - Research Literature: Engagement with selected knowledge in the
research literature of the discipline.
The curriculum matrix covering above knowledge profiles should therefore be
composed of non-engineering domain (humanities, math, management and
natural sciences), and engineering domain with computer science, foundation,
breadth, depth and multidisciplinary courses (including safety) so that different
streams could be encouraged within each discipline, enabling students to
undertake a range of Complex Problem Solving and Complex Engineering
Activities. The students may select electives from any of the streams with
guidelines from their respective advisors.

17
Curriculum of Avionics Engineering / Electrical Engineering (Avionics)

o A final year design project (FYDP) is the confluence of an engineering


program. Undertaking a final year design project is a compulsory
requirement. It should mainly comprise literature search, individual
analysis, modeling and simulation, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and
computational data analytics, design and putting together various
hardware, software, firmware and Algorithm Engineering / Informatics
related to the program to demonstrate a functional concept including rapid
prototyping, where applicable.
o The FYDP shall include complex engineering problems and design
systems, components or processes integrating core areas and meeting
specific needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety,
cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
o A project of this nature should invariably lead to an integration of the
knowledge and practical skills as mandated in the program outcomes. In
this context, projects of multidisciplinary nature should be encouraged.
o The FYDP should span over two consecutive semesters, i.e. semester 7 &
8, totaling 6-credit hours and should be fully supervised, assessed and
reflected in the transcripts under a prescribed mechanism so as to prepare
for joining industry after graduation.
 Faculty: The faculty must be trained for the Outcome-Based Education (OBE)
system. Their familiarity with the program objectives and outcomes,
understanding of the Outcome-Based Assessment (OBA) cycle, enthusiasm
for developing an effective program, and the ability to become an active player
in this regard are the keys to ensure the attainment of program objectives. The
faculty is expected to have the ability to ensure proper implementation of the
program, and to develop processes for evaluation, assessment and CQI. A
formal training program to groom the faculty should be instituted to become
effective instructors in applying pedagogical skills in all aspects of Teaching,
Learning and Assessment covering all domains of Knowledge, Skills and
Attitude.
 Personal Grooming: Personal Grooming of young faculty members and
students is very important in order to develop and support their professional
skills. Therefore, it is required that HEIs should conduct/arrange sessions or
counseling hours on regular basis to provide guidance for personal grooming.
Personal Grooming is important for positive self-image and increasing the
confidence level of the individuals. It would help in enhancing students’ self-

18
Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

esteem and would go a long way in developing an attractive personality by


adopting habits like personal hygiene, clothing, appearance, interaction and
expressive skills, etc. The students should be motivated and equipped to be
entrepreneurs in their relevant field.
 Presentation and Communication Skills: Special focus should be given to
inculcate communication and presentation skills amongst the graduates
through individual and group presentations, technical writing and discussions,
throughout the program as a regular feature.
This curriculum has been designed to guide and facilitate the universities and
departments to formulate their own programs according to the industrial needs,
emerging trends and recent developments in the field of Avionics Engineering. The
HEIs have flexibility to incorporate changes in the proposed curriculum within given
range of credit hours for engineering and non-engineering domain.
