The vision and mission of the institution is being achieved through Interrelated long
term and short-term outcomes including Program Educational Objectives, Program
Learning Objectives, and Course Learning Objectives

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) for Civil Engineering

MCE is one of the oldest institutions imparting civil engineering education in the
country and has well formulated mission, program objectives and program outcomes.
However, the process of establishing the PEOs as per new manual of accreditation
put forward by Engineering Accreditation Board of Pakistan Engineering Council
(PEC), based on OBE, started in May 2014. MCE has defined and established its
PEOs keeping in view the desirable/ expected attributes of our graduates and crafting
the PLOs for the program. The process of selecting PEOs involved reviewing and
harmonizing these with the university’s vision and mission statement, with rigorous
involvement of senior echelons of the College. Based on the mission spelled for MCE,
following are the four educational objectives set for civil engineering program: -

 PEO # 1: Graduates will be highly knowledgeable and employable,

demonstrating technical skills of providing innovative and comprehensive
solutions.
 PEO # 2: Graduates will possess effective interpersonal and managerial
skills imbibed with teamwork abilities.
 PEO # 3: Graduates will discharge their professional and societal
obligations displaying high moral and ethical standards.

6

Military College of Engineering – Civil Engineering Wing

 PEO # 4: Graduates will demonstrate engagement in enhancing

professional skills and exhibit quest for professional growth.
Comparison of the above PEOs with College’s mission and NUST’s vision show that
these four PEOs effectively cover all the major attributes mentioned in vision and
mission statements. Key examples are understanding of fundamental knowledge, pre-
requisite for practice or advanced study, broad education for employment or higher
education; preparation for the complex modern work environment and for lifelong
learning; and innovative program that is rigorous and challenging, open and
supportive. Similarly, these PEOs also reflect the attributes of an engineer according
to the requirements of Washington Accord (WA).

The PEOs accompanying the institute’s vision and mission statements are well
publicized and available in the prospectus, institute notice boards, posters in the
corridors at MCE as well as on the website.

Consistency of PEOs with Vision & Mission of College

After numerous brainstorming sessions, PEOs were defined and reviewed. These
PEOs were then finalized after discussions with stakeholders (parents and
representatives from industry) incorporating their input and requirements. Alignment
of the PEOs with University Vision & Mission and MCE Vision & Mission is shown in
following Table 1. The superscript in the table indicates the direct link of the PEO with
respective highlighted keyword.

Mapping of Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) to Program

Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
To ensure that the entire PLOs are covered adequately through the courses in the
curriculum, the courses are systematically designed and tailored to be mapped to the
relevant PLOs as discussed in subsequent Criteria 3. The course plans are worked
out by the faculty in consultation with HoDs and Dean, and reviewed/ finalized for each
entry before the start of semester.

Teaching and Assessment Methods

The broad range of teaching and assessment methods are provided in the course
outlines. The program is designed to ensure various course delivery and assessment
methods such as instructional lectures, practical/ laboratory demonstration,
tutorials/exercises, briefing, industrial talks, project case studies, and site/ field visits.

The course delivery is designed according to teaching and learning methods that
enable the students to meet the outcomes as outlined in the PEOs. Students are also
given opportunities to develop and practice the skills during seminars or presentations
where the ideas, views, findings can be presented in report and/ or oral presentations
form. Student group cooperative learning, complex topics encompassing problem
based learning and other creative teaching methods are being implemented at various

11
 National University of Science and Technology

levels by MCE academic staff. Laboratory sessions are incorporated in most courses
of the program, where the students can integrate concepts developed in the classroom
to the practical lab work and are able to reinforce their knowledge and understanding
further with hands on training.

Measuring assessments are methods used to evaluate students’ performance with the
course outcomes. Mostly direct assessments are done through various quantitative
and qualitative measurement methods. These methods include assessment of
knowledge gained by students through class work and assimilation to the courses
through assignments, quizzes, problem-based learning (PBL) activities, one hour test
(OHT), open book examination end semester exam (ESE). Assessment of practical
learning skills developed through practical/ lab work through practical work, laboratory
work, and computer simulations. Oral examinations through viva voce and
presentations are conducted to assess the understanding and intellectual
concepts built during the course work. Field investigation reports, research/ project
reports, and case studies are presented to assess the learning levels of real-world
problems and communication skills.

Course Learning Objectives and Learning Levels

To ensure that the entire PLOs are covered adequately through the courses in the
curriculum, the courses are systematically designed, to achieve particular PLO. Every
instructor set certain Course Learning Objectives (CLOs) and each CLO has set of
Learning Levels (LL). These CLOs are tailored to be mapped to the relevant PLOs.
The course outlines are worked by faculty in consultation with HoDs and Dean and
finalized for each entry. Sample mapping of Transportation II course CLO with PLO
along with LLs are shown in Table 3.2.

CONTACT HOURS 32 (Theory) + 0 (Practical) = 32
PREREQUISITE Nil
MODE OF TEACHING
Lectures, interactive discussion and problem solving: Two hours of lecture per week 100%

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course provides an in-depth understanding of Holy Quran and the important aspects of our Religion
to young generation. It prepares learners for the real world; it promotes the development of moral,
ethical and spiritual values. It further helps the learners develop a sense of tolerance and human
fellowship. It motivates learners to develop an enquiring and critical approach to the study of
fundamental questions of religious practices, beliefs, morality and interpretations, and to explore such
issues within the context of an Islamic tradition.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
The objective of this course is a radical departure from the conventional pattern of Islamic Studies in
our schools and colleges. The purpose here is not to fill students with information about Islam, but to
show how they may go about their enquiry and arrive at their own understanding of Islam. The focus,
then, is on Methodology: above all, on gaining direct access to the Quran; not relying on hearsay or

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)
This course focuses on the principles and practices of survey required for construction projects. Every
construction project of any magnitude is based to a greater or less degree upon measurement taken
during the process of a survey and is constructed about lines and points established by the surveyor.
Carrying out the survey is therefore imperative for assistance in the conception, design and execution
of engineering works. This course combines theoretical concepts, problem-solving, class activities and
field work to learn the practical applications of concepts learned in the course. Studying this subject
would equip the students to apply the knowledge they have attained to real- time civil engineering
assignments particularly roads and building layouts.

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)

 Fluids are already an integral part of our day-to-day life. Engineering allows us to explore the
potential of fluids for a number of new applications and various functions. Some of these
include:
 There are number of fluids that when burnt, produce lots of heat, which can be used for various
applications. Examples of these fluids include petrol and diesel for vehicles.
 There are some fluids like oil that have a tendency to exert very high pressure or force. These
fluids can be used for lifting various heavy loads. The fluids used in hydraulic machines and
hydraulic lifters are an example.
 Some fluids have excellent flow properties which can be used for the lubrication of various
machines
 Fluids like water posses kinetic and potential energy, which is used for generation of electricity
as in hydroelectric power plants.
 Fluid mechanics helps us understand the behavior of fluid under various forces and at different
atmospheric conditions, and to select the proper fluid for various applications.
 This field is studied in detail within Civil Engineering and also to great extent in Mechanical
Engineering and Chemical Engineering. It is in these branches of engineering where there is
maximum use of the fluids

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)

In planning and design phase of any pipe – reservoir or river reservoir system, net effect of energy and
head losses determine the efficiency of the system. Combinations of various fluid machines increase
the efficiency of the system by means of increasing energy and decreasing the head losses. Visualization
of flow behavior before commencement of construction of any system enables the engineers to design
the most feasible system. Numerical simulation makes it convenient to visualize flow behavior before
construction of the system. Course Learning Outcomes amply cover understanding and visualization of
flow behavior in open channels / closed conduits and efficient application of fluid machines to any pipe
– reservoir or river – reservoir system.

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)

For routine civil engineering structures such as residential or office buildings, requires suitable and
effective foundations systems for transmitting their structural load to soil, while keeping these structures
within the desired serviceability bounds. Often the foundation system must be constructed adjacent a
sloping ground thus making it mandatory to perform the slope stability analysis. Therefore,
understanding of soil as foundation material requires in depth knowledge of soil strength and its
compressibility behavior for suitable foundation. The decision of selection of suitable type of
foundation, its design and analysis and slope stability techniques leaned in this course will be beneficial
for developing the effective foundation solution for routine projects as a foundation engineer.

COURSE CODE: CE 286
COURSE NAME: Surveying-II
CREDIT HOURS: 1 (Theory) + 2 (Practical) = 3
CONTACT HOURS: 16 (Theory) + 96 (practical) = 112
PREREQUISITES: Surveying-I
MODE OF TEACHING: Lectures and Practical Field Work
Instruction: One hour of lecture per week 33%
Practical: Twenty four hours of Lab work per week for four weeks 67%
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is the follow up of Surveying-I in which students were taught basic surveying skills by
doing most of the data acquisition with manual measurements. However in this course all the practical
work is done by using the modern hardware and software. Field data is acquired and stored in the Total
Stations. It is downloaded in the computers in the lab and further processed by using computer software
(LiSCAD, Auto CAD). The output, which is in the shape of maps, is plotted on colour plotters for field
users.
Students are also taught the basic concepts of advance topics like Geodesy, Map Projections and Grid
Systems. This enables them to understand our National Mapping/Grid System. Introductory lectures on
Photogrammetry educate them on the possibilities of using this technology for planning mega projects.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. The students will operate with confidence the modern survey instruments to monitor the progress
and quality of Civil Engineering projects in the field.
2. Students will also show dexterity in handling hard copy as well as soft copy maps and incorporate
necessary improvements and revisions in the maps as and when required.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

The estimation of cost and recourses is major consideration for all projects and its knowledge is of
prime importance for civil engineers/QS. Quantity surveying and cost estimation is applicable right
from the feasibility phase upto the completion phase of any project. Accurate forecasting of the quantum
of work not only gives confidence to the client to initiate the project but also gives fair grounds to the
contractors to bid competitively. Comprehensive estimates and exact measurement of work at site forms
the basis for genuine payments and results in minimizing sick projects.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is designed to prepare students to understand building construction activities, their
sequence and to handle the practical tasks of a Site Engineer which they will be exposed to in their real
professional life. During construction projects, civil engineers are responsible not only to manage and
direct the physical construction of a project from start to finish to convert the paper designs into
completely usable facilities but are expected to maintain the quality control of the project. The students
are introduced with traditional and modern building construction techniques with special focus on
construction methodologies, quality control and site supervision.
The syllabus is closely aligned to the needs of young engineers for their effective handling of the civil
engineering projects in the field. Topics in techniques of building construction and methods are taught
to students through insight to site selection, setting and layout, masonry construction, concrete
construction, steel frame construction, temporary construction and building finishes. In addition, topics
related to selection of construction equipment, applications on site management, material handling,
quality control and safety issues during various phases of a construction project are also covered. The
course will provide a comprehensive coverage of construction engineering to the under-graduate
students of civil engineering.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

1. To familiarize students about different construction methodologies and equipment to be used

in carrying out a construction project.

2. To develop ability of students to carry out the construction projects according to drawings,
specifications and standard engineering practices.

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS):

Unprecedented growth of population during last few decades in Pakistan has placed an ever-increasing
demand on construction of new buildings, both for housing of facilities and residences. The
optimization of time significantly impacts the execution and management of engineering projects. In
addition, the nature and characteristics of construction resources including materials and machinery
have a profound impact on the building environment. Keeping in view the strict timelines and broader
scope of engineering projects, effective utilization of resources is of utmost importance. To meet the
challenges of growing construction demand, a systemic approach to construction methods/machinery
is need of hour. The knowledge of best engineering practices, building and infrastructure construction
activities and construction methodologies and selection of heavy construction machinery for executing
any civil engineering project is of prime importance for civil engineers to perform as an effective site
engineer in a project team.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In general, Ethics is both an academic “subject” and a thoughtful way of doing things. Theoretical Ethics
is that branch of Philosophy concerned with determining what is right (with regard to principles and actions)
and what is good (what ends or ideals are worth pursuing and what values are worth holding). Practical
Ethics is the art of figuring out how to make things better rather than worse with regard to concrete or actual
situations. The course gives the concept of Profession, Ethics, Character, Personality, Moral Code of Islam,
Morality, Attitudes that Deliver, Role of Heredity and Environment in the Development of Personality and
Character, Motivation and Incentives, Sociology of Profession (Work),Inter-Personal Relations (Employer-
--Employee relationship), Morale, Grievances, Welfare, Problem-Solving and Decision-Making
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
An understanding of both ethical issues in civil engineering and the importance of civil engineering work
to society.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS):
Ethics is becoming an increasingly important topic for all organizations, the creation of codes of
ethical practice is an essential task for companies, to ensure consistent application of principles,
and to provide all stakeholders with confidence in this regard. Societies are continually developing
their views of acceptable and unacceptable practices and values, and corporate codes of practice
need to reflect (but not slavishly follow) these societal changes. After recognizing and achieving
these ethical codes the student after becoming professional will:
a. Become more sensitive.
b. Treat customs as legitimate and workable until proven otherwise.
c. Find legitimate ways to operate from the host country’s ethical business perspective.
d. Avoid rationalizing borderline actions.
e. Refuse to do business when laws or general principles are seriously compromised.
f. Be as above-board as possible.
g. Avoid purely legalistic but ethically questionable strategies.

CE-427 SOIL AND SITE IMPROVEMENT

COURSE CODE: CE 427

COURSE NAME: Soil and Site Improvement
CREDIT HOURS: Theory =3
Practical =-
Total =3
CONTACT HOURS: Theory = 48
Practical =-
Total = 48
PREREQUISITE: CE 324 Soil Mechanics –II
MODE OF TEACHING:
Lectures, interactive discussion and problem solving: Three hours of lecture per week 100%
COURSE INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of this course is to provide knowledge about principles, methods and applications of
ground modification and soil improvement in an easy to understand manner. Prior knowledge of Soil
Mechanics and/or Engineering Geology is recommended; however, any interested learner may attend
the course. The course starts with an introduction to site conditions requiring ground modification and
soil Improvement. Mechanical modification will cover shallow and deep compaction and properties of
compacted soils. Hydraulic modification shall present de-watering, guidelines for design of wells, and
preloading. The course includes solved examples and exercises for enhanced understanding.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The urbanization, industrialization and rising environmental concerns have forced the engineers to
develop those lands for construction purpose which were once considered as useless. To enable
construction on such lands, the soil properties are required to be improved. Therefore, it is important
for civil engineers to access different soil conditions, the degree up to which a particular soil can be
improved and suggest suitable improvement measures.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
5. The purpose of this course is to provide the students with an in-depth knowledge and
understanding of the contemporary soil/ ground modification and improvement techniques.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

RELEVANT PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOs):

The course is designed so that students will achieve the following PLOs:

1 Engineering Knowledge: ☐ 7 Environment and Sustainability: ☐

2 Problem Analysis:  8 Ethics: ☐
3 Design/Development of Solutions: ☐ 9 Individual and Team Work: 
4 Investigation: ☐ 10 Communication: ☐
5 Modern Tool Usage: ☐ 11 Project Management: ☐
6 The Engineer and Society: ☐ 12 Lifelong Learning: ☐
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
Proper selection and evaluation of a soil improvement technique for use at a particular site is
neither a simple nor a single-outcome proposition. Local conditions and specificity as well as
expertise and judgement, are integral parts in the decision-making process. Ground
Improvement techniques are often used to improve sub soil properties in terms of their bearing
capacity, shear strength, settlement characteristics, drainage, etc. These techniques have a wide
range of applicability from coarse grained soils to fine grained soils. Depending upon the
loading conditions and nature of soil, a suitable technique which is also economical needs to
be adopted.

PREREQUISITE: Nil

MODE OF TEACHING:
Lectures, interactive discussion and problem solving: Three hours of lecture per week

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course deals with the thought processes, concepts, methods, and knowledge bases used by the
engineers to measure the cost of engineering projects. In addition, it evaluates the merits of making a
particular investment, and to choose the best of a series of alternative investments to achieve the desired
objective. The course includes various methods of measuring the economic equivalences, using the
present and future costs, annuities, geometric and arithmetic gradients, benefit-cost ratios, incremental
analysis, rate-of-return, depreciation and inflation. It also examines the social implications of the
functioning of competitive markets, as well as the causes of market failure and the potential roles of
government in correcting them. Thus, it provides a framework for economic decision-making.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The course aims to:
1. Provide students with fundamental concepts of engineering economics.
2. Provide students with a number of methods to compare and evaluate the alternatives based on the
interest rates, present and future costs, rate-of-return, and benefit-cost analyses.
3. Emphasize on practical engineering-based applications and the use of real data examples.
4. Evaluation economic feasibility of mega projects.
5. Measure the overall desirability of the project in financial terms.
6. Understand how projects work in finance, economic, social and environment terms – select relevant
economic and managerial techniques.
7. Understand the principles of design economics and the factors that affect the cost of the buildings/
roads/ pavements, cost planning process, range of estimating techniques that could be used at various
stages of a building project.

5 Modern Tool Usage ☐ 11 Project Management 
6 The Engineer and Society ☐ 12 Lifelong Learning ☐

PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS:
The engineering projects are all about the best utilization of budget (i.e., to achieve the maximum
benefits with limited resources). Thus, learning and understanding the engineering economics is of
utmost importance for engineering students. It would help them in making the best decision using
various economic methods by comparing and evaluating the alternatives based on present, annual, rate-
of-return, and benefit over cost analyses. Utilizing the engineering economics knowledge, the students
would be able to complete the projects in most economical method. It would also help them to interpret
the available alternatives in a clear and standard manner.

COURSE CODE: CE 430
COURSE NAME: Applied Soil Mechanics
CREDIT HOURS: 3 (Theory) + 0 (Practical) = 3
CONTACT HOURS: 48 (Theory) + 0 (Practical) = 48
PREREQUISITE: CE 324 Soil Mechanics-II
MODE OF TEACHING:
Lectures, interactive discussion and problem solving: Three hours of lecture per week 100%
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
In the course, specifically, earth pressures and retaining walls, excavations, and braced cuts; and
stability of earth slopes will be discussed. In addition, geotechnical literature, case histories, and an
approach to geotechnical engineering problems that utilizes knowledge of geology, applied mechanics,
and precedent will also be discussed. An important aspect of this course is to help the students to begin
developing “engineering judgment.” The students will also be introduced to different slope stability
software which they will learn and practice during practical periods.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of the course are to give students’ the ability to apply limit equilibrium methods, as well
as other analytical and empirical methods, to the solution of geotechnical engineering problems, using
principles of soil mechanics and soil behavior that they have learned in previous courses.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

2. A design project will also be assigned and completed in the class. The project will focus on
the use of different slope stability software.
RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATION):
In civil engineering; soil is used either as construction material or foundation soil. Therefore
understanding of soil as construction/foundation material and prediction of soil quality for durable and
strong foundation; requires fundamental knowledge and its heterogeneous behavior. It provides basic
soil mechanics knowledge for subsequent geotechnical engineering courses; therefore this is one of the
most important subjects in the field of Civil Engineering.

RELEVANCE OF COURSE TO REAL LIFE (PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS)
River engineering is the process of planned human intervention in the course, characteristics, or flow
of a river with the intention of producing some defined benefit. People have intervened in the natural
course and behaviour of rivers since before recorded history—to manage the water resources, to
protect against flooding, or to make passage along or across rivers easier. It is one of the most
important subjects in the field of Water Resource Engineering.
