PREFACE

The curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a plan of the teaching-learning process that students of an academic program me are required to undergo to achieve some specific objectives. It includes scheme of studies, objectives & learning outcomes, course contents, teaching methodologies and assessment/ evaluation. Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fast pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula be developed and revised accordingly. University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent authorities to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section 3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), and 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 Curriculum Division of HEC undertakes the revision of curricula regularly through respective National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminent professors and researchers of relevant fields from public and private sector universities, R&D organizations, councils, industry and civil society by seeking nominations from their organizations. In order to impart quality education which is at par with indigenous needs and international standards, HEC NCRCs have developed unified framework/ templates as guidelines for the development and revision of curricula in the disciplines of Basic Sciences, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture and Engineering. It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective NCRC’s, would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and economic needs, and it would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan Qualification Framework to make it compatible with international educational standards. The curriculum is also placed on the website of HEC http://hec.gov.pk/english/services/universities/RevisedCurricula/Pages/default.aspx

SCHEME OF STUDIES FOR MS DEGREE

Masters (MS) degree in electronics is a two years’ full time degree. Minimum requirement for MS degree award is of 30 credit hours. MS program shall have course work of 24 credit hours and research work of 6 credit hours (spread over minimum of two semesters, excluding summer semester). If the research work is extended to more than two semesters the credit hours shall still be counted as 6 credit hours. Maximum duration of full time MS degree is 3 years. Course work of 24 credits hours (8 courses of 3 credit hours each) shall be divided into two (6 credit hours) core course, and 18 credit hours of elective courses (6 courses, 4 to 6 courses from their area of specialization and may be 1 to 2 courses from any other area of specialization or one additional core course). The students may also register additional courses in addition to the above requirements as non-credit/audit courses.

Credit hours distribution:

S. No Course Area Number of Courses to be studied

Credits hours

1 Core Courses 2 to 4 6 to 12

2 Area of Specialization 4 to 6 12 to 18

3 From Other Specializations 0 to 2 0 to 6

Total 8 (courses) 24 (credit hours)

The core courses are designed with the view that the student should acquire a solid foundation in advance mathematical skills and physical principles. However, elective courses are designed to give an in-depth knowledge and skill in a particular research area to the student. It is advised that students should learn courses from related fields also to have a broader academic base. The universities can design more elective courses, according to the strength of their faculty, keeping in view the above guideline. If there is some laboratory work required in any core or elective course, it may be treated as part of the course and no separate credits hours shall be assigned to it. The laboratory work can be graded as part of the course. The graduate students should be allowed to register the research thesis only after they have cleared a minimum of 15 credit hours (including the two core courses).
