CHAIRPERSON’S
MESSAGE

The Department of Civil Engineering Technology has

been established to graduate individuals who can provide
innovative solutions to both visible and unseen challenges
in the global construction industry. As the Head of the
department, my team and I are consistently striving to
uphold top-tier international standards in our efforts to
instill practical skills in students through our curriculum.
Our curriculum is primarily focused on hands-on training
Engr. Dr. M. Habib and is regularly updated to align with the current
Associate Professor demands of the construction sector. The Department
of Civil Engineering Technology is dedicated to training
PhD in Structural
Engineering, Huazhong and preparing students with high-level competency and

considering societal and industrial requirements. As the
head, I assure you that this program will foster a robust
comprehension of fundamental concepts encompassing
technical engineering drawings, construction management,
structural analysis, geotechnical investigations, building
design software, construction materials and methods.

“The department is
committed to enhancing
students’ capacity to

DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL ENGINEERING

TECHNOLOGY

The Department Vision is “To produce competent and highly skilled

professionals capable of utilizing their intellect and knowledge to address

current challenges in the construction industry.”

The Four-Years B.Sc. Civil Engineering Technology (CET) degree program offered at the

National Skills University Islamabad (NSU) is unique. In addition to theoretical engineering

concepts, equal emphasis is placed on developing job-ready skills. The construction

industry is the country’s second-largest sector after agriculture, responsible for providing

a direct boost to the nation's GDP. Despite the numerous construction and infrastructure

projects that require a significant workforce, graduate employability in the country

is declining significantly. The primary reason is that curricula are not designed with

workplace skills in mind.

The department offers a skill-based degree program to meet the demands of the current

era. This program provides students with the opportunity to learn and understand basic

and advanced scientific engineering concepts and develop the necessary technical skills for

the construction industry. Major attention is given to train the students to solve problems

in the construction industry, such as managing the construction process, executing

engineers' designs, estimating, scheduling, and coordinating projects. Additionally,

students receive training in planning, project management, and consultancy related to

construction projects.

DEPARTMENT OF CET
B.Sc. Civil Engineering Technology (4 Years)

The bachelor's degree (B.Sc.) in Civil Engineering Technology comprises 137 credit hours

spread across 8 semesters. The first three years emphasize key subjects like civil engi-

neering drawing, surveying, construction management, concrete technology, materials &

methods of construction, theory of structures, soil mechanics, computer-aided building,

modeling & design, technical communications, and quantity surveying & contract docu-

ments to establish a strong foundation. In the final year, students undergo comprehen-

sive supervised field training, a mandatory component of the curriculum aimed at providing
hands-on experience before embarking on their professional careers. This practical expo-

sure is a pivotal focus of both the institution and the CET department, aiming to develop

job-ready competencies and skills, ultimately enhancing our students' employability. The

curriculum for the Bachelor of Civil Engineering Technology adheres to the guidelines set

by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and the National Technology Council (NTC).

The Department Vision is “Our vision for the Department of Computer

Science at NSU is to be a leading hub of innovation, fostering excellence in

education, research, and practical application, while producing graduates

who drive technological advancement and positively impact society.”

Computer science is the study of the theory, experimentation, and engineering that

form the basis for the design and use of computers. It is the scientific and practical

approach to computation and its applications and the systematic study of the

feasibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of the methodical procedures

(or algorithms) that underlie the acquisition, representation, processing, storage,

communication of, and access to information [ref WordNet Princeton definition].

Computer Science is the application of a systematic, disciplined, and quantifiable

approach to the design, development, operation, and maintenance of software

systems. It is in fact the practice of designing and implementing large, reliable,

efficient, and economical software by applying the principles and practices of

engineering. The program aims to train students in all aspects of software life

cycle from specification through analysis and design to testing, maintenance and

evaluation of software product.

The Department of Computer Science offers a comprehensive exploration into the

multifaceted world of computer science. Computer science is the systematic study of

the theory, experimentation, and engineering that lay the foundation for computer

design and utilization. It encompasses both the scientific and practical aspects of com-

putation and its diverse applications, delving into the systematic examination of fea-

sibility, structure, expression, and mechanization of algorithms that underpin infor-

mation acquisition, representation, processing, storage, communication, and access.

At our department, we view computer science as the systematic, disciplined, and

quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of soft-

ware systems. We embrace the practice of crafting large, reliable, efficient, and

cost-effective software by applying engineering principles and best practices. Our

program is designed to equip students with expertise in all phases of the software

life cycle, spanning from specification, analysis, and design to testing, mainte-

nance, and evaluation of software products. Welcome to a world where innovation

and precision meet, where you’ll gain the skills to shape the future of technology.

The Department Vision is “to prepare students with the soft skills and

scientific curiosity essential for the 21st-century job market.”

With a changing job market, there has also been a shift in the required job skills. The dawn

of the 21st century has seen the demand for a new job skillset in the workforce that was

previously limited to being adept in literacy and numeracy skills with a focus on content and

knowledge only. The general studies courses are designed to provide students with the basic

knowledge necessary to engage in a higher level of critical thinking, discipline, basic scientific

principles, ethics and morality, communication skills, analysis of information, cultural diversity,

and patriotism. The world is complex and interconnected, and to understand the bigger reality,

one needs to get help from disciplines like physics, chemistry, literature, history, and ethics.

These courses cultivate students’ progressive ideas, tolerance, and social responsibility.

In the age of technology, these courses help to act and decide rationally and logically

according to the situation. They also emphasize experimental and activity-based learning.

The mission of the General Studies department is to enable the students to think creatively

and critically, to co-exist and operate ethically in a culturally diverse environment, and to keep

their curiosity for objective truths alive so that they become informed and active citizenry.
