In this regard, proposals have been submitted to sponsoring agencies, including HEC, MoST, National ICT (R&D) Fund, Pak-US Coop in S&T, UNESCO, European Commission, etc. The Directorate also encourages and facilitates the faculty and students to actively participate in and present their research findings at various national and international conferences, seminars workshops. They are also encouraged to make their research known by publishing their research findings in journals.

Directorate of Innovation & Commercialisation The Directorate consists of the University’s Intellectual Property and Technology Transfer Offices. In order to achieve NUST’s vision of becoming an entrepreneurial University of international repute, a significant state-of-the-art Knowledge Management System is being developed. This system aims to nurture the complete research, innovation and commercialisation cycle at the University.

NUSTIntellectualPropertyOffice(IPO)In the increasingly knowledge-driven economy, Intellectual Property (IP) is a key consideration in day-to-day business decisions. Keeping in view its importance, the University established NUST Intellectual Property Office in year 2006 with the following objectives.

» Offering Intellectual Property protection to innovators/ researchers by filing of Patents, Copyright, Trademarks, and Design Rights, etc.

» Facilitating the commercial interests of and due rewards to innovators/researchers

» Establishing a national network of Intellectual Property Rights related services.

» Collaborating with International Organisation such as WIPO to facilitate the filing of Patents at international level

It is responsible for moving research results and discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace. It does so by being fully aware of the university R&D activities, invention disclosures and market needs. It assesses commercial potential and successfully transfers technology for commercial applications. It also creates and manages synergies and collaborations with other research entities and organisations to facilitate commercialisation.

Technology Incubation Centre (TIC)

The Centre has been established to facilitate and support the innovation engine of the University. It is the first model technology business incubator of Pakistan established under the academia, to provide an environment that attracts and nurtures technology based start-up companies, and transforms them into commercially viable enterprises. TIC provides a platform for NUST faculty/students, having commercially viable R&D output, to establish their own start-up companies in order to commercialise their R&D work as entrepreneurs.

The objectives of TIC include fostering an entrepreneurial culture, by providing the students and faculty of NUST, an opportunity to transform their technology-based business ideas to reality. These facilities are also open to the general public, provided they contribute to NUST knowledge base. It further aims to facilitate the availability of NUST resources to the incubatees in a mutually beneficial way by liaising with private/public sector funding sources, government agencies, industrial associations, chambers of commerce and industries to provide facilitation and networking for Incubatee companies.

Fact file

Technology Incubation Centre (TIC) is the first incubator established in an academic institution in Pakistan. It was established to promote technology commercialisation and entrepreneurship amongst budding entrepreneurs and NUST students. It provides office space, business centre services as well as expert advice to incubatee companies.

Professional Development Centre (PDC)The Centre was established in July 2007 under an initiative of Higher Education Commission (HEC). It aims at transferring knowledge and technologies developed at NUST to the industry. In addition, it also plays the role of a catalyst to align coursework and R&D activities at NUST with industry requirements. It engages highly experienced trainers to conduct hands-on industry-problems-specific trainings. PDC has conducted hundreds of industry-focused workshops and trained more than 2,000 professionals from 500 organisations. PDC is a management training partner with IFC-World Bank as well as Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) for carrying out continued professional development of PEC registered engineers.

Science and Technology Ventures (STV)Science and Technology Ventures is the first holding company established in academia in Pakistan. Conceptually, it is an important instrument in the creation of new technology-based enterprises and research careers by accelerating commercialisation of R&D outputs. It capitalises on technical expertise and innovative products acquired from educational institutions and R&D organisations. ST Ventures Ltd is currently pursuing significant projects, specifically in the field of alternate energy, in an effort to resolve a pressing national challenge.

University Development OfficeUniversity Development Office has been created with a mission to augment the efforts directed towards the realisation of the University’s vision and strategic objectives. Its activities encompass resource generation and joint ventures by mobilising collective efforts and resources. The Office ultimately seeks to contribute towards self-sustenance of NUST.

National Science & Technology Park NUST aims to become a hub for public and private technological, financial and human capital through the establishment of a Technology Park at the new campus in Islamabad. The project will encourage knowledge creation at the cutting-edge and develop organisational, human and social capital to compete in the global economy. It looks forward to building networks stretching far beyond major institutions to include entrepreneurs, investors, professionals and underprivileged communities for mentoring and learning.

The Park will promote interaction between institutional elements, i.e., universities, research parks, large companies, venture funds, etc. and non-institutional elements, i.e., talent, bodies of knowledge and virtual communities to create job opportunities for the youth and link local assets to global markets in order to generate value. It aims to stimulate economic activity in the country by developing a unique knowledge-based multi-industry cluster around the capital.

Based on the conviction that new research clusters in developing countries will capture an increasing share of global R&D investment and increase the volume added to technology innovations, NUST R&D initiatives will encompass an innovation centre, an R&D centre, a science centre, a technology incubation centre, a manufacturing resource centre and a learning academy that will provide technical and vocational expertise, and entrepreneurship and leadership training. The expansive park will also host a research commercialisation centre, university-industry liaison nucleus and event management and recreational facilities. The Park will have a distinctive knowledge brokering facility by means of which it will act as an information intermediary to provide advice on selection of goods or services, business intelligence or research data to interested parties.

Bachelors in Software Engineering

Programme Description

Software is central to our lives. We interact daily with software systems; at home through computer games, at the office through online services and in the car through embedded control systems. Software Engineering applies both, computer science and engineering principles and best practices to the design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and evolution of software. Our Software Engineering programme covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues. This programme is an amalgamation of strong applied science knowledge, applications of engineering practice and an ability to understand the impact of technology. We endeavour to help students carry out both theoretical and experimental research in software engineering and to disseminate the results in the form of publications, patents and technology transfer to industry.

Associated Careers

The software industry has grown exponentially over the years; mechanical and electronic devices in automobiles, aeroplanes, entertainment and communication equipment and manufacturing are being replaced by software components because software is more adaptable, and can provide greater functionality. The ubiquity of software applications has created a multitude of career prospects for our graduates. Our graduates normally find employment with major service providers and large private industrial groups. There are a number of opportunities available within smaller service and technology providers, some of which are highly specialised and technologically advanced.

MS Leading to PhD in Information Security Systems

Programme Description

Cyber threats to federal information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures are evolving and growing. These threats can be unintentional and intentional, targeted or non-targeted, and can come from a variety of sources, such as foreign nations engaged in espionage and information warfare, criminals, hackers, virus writers, disgruntled employees and contractors working within an organisation. As government, private sector, and personal activities continue to move to networked operations; digital systems add ever more capabilities; wireless systems become more ubiquitous and as the design, manufacture, and service of information technology have moved overseas, the threat will continue to grow. In the absence of robust security programmes, agencies have experienced a wide range of incidents involving data loss or theft, computer intrusions and privacy breaches; underscoring the need for improved security practices.

Information Security Centre of Excellence

This setup is aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities faced by the national information infrastructure and cyber-space, by producing more qualified graduates and researchers in the various disciplines of Information Security, as well as indigenously designing and delivering technological solutions. The research and technical solutions designed at the proposed Information Security Centre of Excellence, will provide import substitute and enhanced level of trust.

Associated Careers

The programme is focused to produce professionals competent enough to offer solution for Information Security problems in the market. Graduates of this programme will be able to address information security related issues in present and future era of Information Technology. The need of Information Security has grown dramatically over the last few years. Like the Industrial Revolution, the Information Technology Boom, which started in the 1990’s and is still present today, has dramatically changed commerce around the world. This is mostly due to advancement of technology in computers, telecommunications equipment, and networking standards, leading to the development and widespread use of the Internet. This propagation of information security has led to an urgent and growing demand for information security professionals in Pakistan and all over the world. A hundred percent of our graduates go into employment or higher studies/professional trainings immediately after completion of their degrees. Our graduates normally pursue careers in major service providers such as PTCL, Warid, Mobilink, Zong, Ufone, Telenor and Special Communication Organisation (SCO); large private industrial groups such as Microsoft, NetSol, Ericsson, and Cisco; and a host of smaller service and technology providers.

Department of Engineering Management

MS Leading to PhD in Engineering Management (Evening)

The Engineering Management programme is designed to equip engineers for top management positions, like technical executives in manufacturing and service organisations both in public and private sectors. Latest courses and management tools provide the students with in-depth knowledge and skills in this field. The programme is structured in accordance with the international standards and comparable with similar programmes being offered at other reputed universities in the world.

Why join this programme?

Effective and efficient management is one of the important aspects in career progression for every engineer, irrespective of discipline, organisation, employment and position. Most of the engineering graduates, after completing their bachelors degree, enter the job market in their respective engineering discipline and are involved in technical work. Within 5-7 years of their employment, they are less involved in technical fields and more in management aspects of technical enterprises. This programme endeavours to transform students, who are already graduate engineers, with a diversified engineering discipline into visionary technical leaders, skilful communicators, and high achievers.

Associated Careers

The engineers so prepared, are the ultimate candidates for the positions of Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Technical Officers, and other technical management positions in technology-oriented industrial and service organisations.

Fact file

InternationalStudentExchangethrough IAeste Pakistan was admitted to IAESTE (International As-sociation for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience) in 1990. The primary focus has been to endorse exchange of students for internships and trainings by allowing them to experience new cultures in different countries. The local committee of Islam-abad is based in NUST and is headed by Principal SEECS in the year 2010, eight students from Germany, Austria, Japan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Iran and Turkey were hosted by NUST SEECS under this programme one student from SEECS has successfully completed internship in Germany (with outstanding feedback) and another is getting his visa ready for 1 year intern-ship program in Austria. Furthermore, a delegation comprising six students has been selected to partici-pate in 16th JUMP-2010 Conference in Norway.

I really found Islamabad a very nice green city and Lahore is a historical city that portrays Pakistan’s cul-tural heritage. Before I came here I didn’t think about Pakistan like this; so my idea about Pakistan has totally changed. NahidAsadi(Iran) I’ve been welcomed very kindly as I find this is gener-ally characteristic for Pakistan. I can rely on any support from my colleagues, the university administration and especially from the IAESTE local team, who are doing a fantastic job!MrAlexanderSchmid(Austria)

As I arrived in Pakistan I was totally surprised how friendly the people here are. They supported me by the first minute of my arrival. At NUST it is even better. I instantly found new friends and everyday is even better than the day before..MrFlorianGasteiger(Germany)

MS Leading to PhD in Materials and Surface Engineering

Programme Description

In the age of nano-technology and nano-materials, research and development in the materials technology has become primordial for a nation like ours. Nano-technology research has primarily focused on molecular manufacturing, creation of tools, materials, machines and devices that will eventually enable us to untie the fundamental building blocks of nature, easily, inexpensively and in particular with defect-free properties. The Masters programme in Materials and Surface Engineering produces scientists and researchers of the future who can develop and use these materials for the betterment of the society. The emphasis of the programme is on the application of nano-technology to produce thin films, nano-composites, electronic and bio-materials, ablatives, photonics materials, armour and blast protection linings.

Associated Careers

Virtually all industries demand people with backgrounds in Materials Engineering. These people may be monitoring impurities in steel destined for an assembly line (in the steel industry), shrinking the size of circuits to improve the reliability of a pager (in the ICT industry), or designing new materials for a missile casing (in the defence industry). Industries may employ materials engineers to reduce the overall weight of a vehicle (in the automobile industry), remove limitations in power plants (in the manufacturing industry), or research product failures for a liability suit (in the legal and corporate sectors). Graduates can also exercise the option of working as researchers and scientists in a number of R&D organisations. The demand for materials engineers working on nano-materials and bio-materials is increasing as we speak. As manufacturing firms look for materials engineering needs, employment growth is expected in professional, scientific, and technical services industries also.

Student Support ServicesA panel of faculty members is designated as advisors who are available to the students for career counselling. They also guide students and solve their problems related to university life.

Alliances and PartnershipsSMME is working closely with institutes and industries like HEC, ENERGEN, NED, National Instruments and other leading automotive and oil companies.

AKI ProjectSMME project with Anwar Khawaja Industries (AKI) Sialkot has proposed a solution to the problem in Quality Control Production line. In order to ensure accuracy in circumference and roundness of footballs, AKI required a reliable, fast and low-cost solution. The annual production of AKI currently stands at 2.5 million balls for world famous brands like SELECT ™, DERBYSTAR ™.

The solution satisfies FIFA inspected accuracy standards. FIFA requires the distance of any two measured points to be not more than 9.66 cm while our proposed solution takes measurements for points that are almost 4.3 cm apart.

Collaboration with National Instruments, USASMME has strong links with National Instruments (NI) USA and have conducted joint events/workshops. SMME is the only educational institute in Pakistan to have a certified National Instruments (USA) faculty, fulfilling one of the key requirements for creating National Instruments Academy in Pakistan. The school is in the process of purchasing state-of-the art hardware and hopefully by the end of first quarter, SMME will become the first Institute in Pakistan to be National Instruments certified. The NI Academy programme combines face-to-face teaching with hands-on lab exercises, preparing students for their future careers by developing their skills in using visual programming language and acquisition systems created by National Instruments (USA).

Other Collaborations

Lubrizol USALubrizol is an oil company mainly conducting research in the area of Engine Lubricants. SMME with its experienced faculty and state-of-the-art labs convinced Lubrizol for a joint project in the field of engine tribology. Lubrizol will provide the hardware for research on the OM646 engine, looking in detail at the effect of formulations on the tribological performance of engine valve train.

BP/Castrol UK Knowing the expertise of our faculty, strong links have been developed with BP/Castrol in the area of engine tribology. For research on cam/tappet interaction, BP/Castrol not only agreed to collaborate in this project but also agreed to donate a heavy-duty diesel engine valve-train test rig worth millions of rupees. Attracting an International oil giant for research collaboration is a great achievement for Pakistan.

Millat Tractors Along with international companies, SMME is also closely working with and supporting local industries. One of the examples is the technical link developed with Millat Tractors. Knowing our expertise in the field of engines, Millat Tractors and SMME are working on a number of joint projects.

The NUST Emblem

The Book of Knowledge lights up the darkness, through the Vine of Wisdom which bears the two moons and stars facing towards the East and the West, symbolising the diversity of disciplines and the fruit of knowledge.

The Rising Sun brings change, hope and enlightenment. It emanates inspiration and from the light of knowledge, four birds take wing from the nests of light, and spread out to the four corners of the world, symbolising the quest for spiritual gratification through knowledge and wisdom.

The NUST Blue is a colour that represents the future. It carries all the characteristics of the colour blue, like dignity, grace, freshness, professionalism, prudence and resolve.
