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 vide 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 Telecom Engineering / Electrical Engineering (Telecom)

This curriculum document would therefore 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 the Convener briefed the scope, objective and ToRs of the
Committee and also formulated the subject ECRDCs comprising of eminent
engineers and professionals from academia and industry.

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 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.

5. ECRDC for Electrical & Allied Engineering Disciplines

The PEC Engineering Curriculum Review and Development Committee (ECRDC)

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.

14
 Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

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.
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

15

17
Curriculum of Telecom Engineering / Electrical Engineering (Telecom)

 Final Year Design Project (FYDP)/ Capstone: FYDP aims to challenge

innovative, creative, technical, management and presentation skills of a
graduate to bring together the learning over the degree program.
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.

18
 Bachelor of Engineering Program (2020)

 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-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 Telecom Engineering. The
HEIs have flexibility to incorporate changes in the proposed curriculum within
given range of credit hours for engineering and non-engineering domain.
