Sitara-e-Imtiaz<br />

I consider engineering as combination of science, art and craft.<br />

Science part is covered in classrooms by a competent faculty.<br />

To develop the art of engineering, we frequently invite industry<br />

experts to deliver lectures to our students. These practitioners<br />

are called as industry professors and industry aces.<br />

We are also making linkages with industry and trying to fully<br />

capitalize the industrial hubs of Taxila and Hattar. To learn the<br />

craft part of engineering, we encourage and facilitate our<br />

students to get internships in industry. We have established a<br />

dedicated Placement and Alumni Office for helping students in<br />

finding jobs and internships. Our faculty is involved in joint<br />

projects with industry and making contributions in solving<br />

problems of the local industry.<br />

In sum, we can claim that the education we are imparting is<br />

relevant to the needs of our industry, country and society. <strong>CASE</strong>,<br />

an affiliate institute of UET, Taxila, has taken the lead in imparting<br />

engineering education to our youth on these lines while taking<br />

care of the needs of our industry, country and society.

Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering


history<br />

Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering (<strong>CASE</strong>), is a project of Engineering Education Trust<br />

(EET) with joint collaboration with Sir Syed Memorial Society. It was in the January of 2001<br />

when we formally talked about establishing an institution of higher technical learning in<br />

Pakistan. We debated on its feasibility and gauged our commitment to this national cause and<br />

identified the dissemination of advanced knowledge in engineering and management to our<br />

professional engineers and scientists as the need of the hour.<br />

In 1998, when a research and development organization named Communications Enabling<br />

Technologies (CET) Pakistan was established in Rawalpindi. Soon, CET headed by Dr. Shoab<br />

Ahmed Khan (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz) attracted some of the best professionals in Pakistan. Dr.<br />

Farrukh Kamran (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz), Dr. Saeed Ur Rahman, and Dr. Sohail Naqvi (Former<br />

Executive Director, HEC) joined CET in its early days and played a key role in establishing <strong>CASE</strong>.<br />

Later, this group was joined by more outstanding professionals like Dr. Syed Ismail Shah<br />

(Chairman Pakistan Telecom Authority), Dr. Aamer Iqbal Bhatti, Dr. Amir Qayyum, Dr. Imtiaz A.<br />

Taj, Dr. Sheikh Muhammad Farhan, Saleem Ahmed Khan, Dr. Mohsin Rahmatullah, Hammad<br />

Ahmed Khan, Dr. Zaheer Ahmed and Durdana Habib. Engineering Education Trust (EET) was<br />

established in May 2001. We take pride in starting <strong>CASE</strong> with a graduate education with new<br />

research culture to bring Pakistan on the road to prosperity through a knowledge economy by<br />

developing human resource in higher technical education.<br />

UET, Taxila, granted affiliation of its graduate program in Computer Engineering with 60<br />

students. This led to the establishment of <strong>CASE</strong> on September 11, 2001 at Software Technology<br />

Park Islamabad. <strong>CASE</strong> was inaugurated by then the Minister of Science and Technology Prof.<br />

Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman. The institute had the support of an excellent teaching faculty of 10 PhDs<br />

and 8 MScs at that time. Later the new programs were established in following order:<br />

• Due to overwhelming demand, <strong>CASE</strong> took the initiative of establishing the department<br />

of Engineering Management in Fall 2002 headed by Dr. Ali Sajid. In that year, 192 students<br />

registered in Computer Engineering and 41 students in Engineering Management.<br />

• <strong>CASE</strong> programs attracted high quality graduate students and had to shift in present<br />

building in 2003 due to increased student enrollment.<br />

• In 2004 the <strong>CASE</strong> decided to start its undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering<br />

with financial support from CARE Pvt. Ltd. This program was started in collaboration with<br />

Sir Syed Memorial Society (SSMS) and got accredited from Pakistan Engineering Council<br />

(PEC) before the graduation of its first batch in 2008. <strong>CASE</strong> then became a project of<br />

Engineering Education Trust (EET) with joint collaboration with Sir Syed Memorial<br />

Society.<br />

• To align engineering education with business development, BBA program was started in<br />

fall 2008.<br />

• After the successful establishment of the these programs, <strong>CASE</strong> gradually introduced<br />

various new programs in last 6 years including Bachelor of Computer Science and<br />

Masters in Software Engineering.<br />

<strong>CASE</strong> has not only excelled in education but also on the forefront of research activities. We<br />

developed product focused research needs of our society with our partner CARE Pvt. Ltd. providing<br />

industrial insights. <strong>CASE</strong> acquired research funding from CISCO Systems, PTCL and National ICT<br />

R&D Fund in last 10 years’ worth of Rs.100 million. <strong>CASE</strong> continues to grow and currently more than<br />

1200 students are enrolled in <strong>CASE</strong> programs, 40% of whom are postgraduate students. <strong>CASE</strong><br />

faculty members and students have produced 2 startups and 8 engineering commercial products<br />

available in the local market thus generating jobs for young professionals.<br />

postgraduate programs, the academic year at <strong>CASE</strong><br />

consists of two regular length teaching sessions, i.e.<br />

Fall and Spring semesters.<br />

Following are typical semester times:<br />

• Fall: September to December (17 weeks)<br />

• Spring: January to May (17 Weeks)<br />

Credit Hour Systems<br />

The duration/frequency of classes for every course<br />

offered at <strong>CASE</strong> is referred to in terms of credit hours.<br />

The credit hours assigned to the theory courses or<br />

laboratory courses are determined by the class hours<br />

allocated to it per week throughout the semester. For a<br />

theory course, one credit hour is equivalent to one<br />

hour of classroom lecture per week; and for a<br />

laboratory course, one credit hour is equal to three<br />

hours of practical work. No credits are assigned to the<br />

tutorial classes meant to help students understand the<br />

subject covered during the class.<br />

Course Load<br />

Undergraduate<br />

For undergraduate students the minimum course load<br />

required to maintain registration status in a regular<br />

semester is equivalent to three courses, i.e. at any time<br />

during the semester, each student must have at least<br />

three courses registered against his/her name on<br />

letter-grade basis. Students are expected, as a rule, to<br />

register for the full semester load of their batch (i.e. 15-<br />

19 credit hours depending upon the semester) in a<br />

regular semester, i.e. Fall and Spring. No exception to<br />

this is allowed in the first semester.<br />

Postgraduate<br />

The minimum course load for postgraduate students is<br />

one course for the programs affiliated with UET Taxila<br />

and three courses for the programs affiliated with<br />

Quaid-i-Azam University in a semester.<br />

Course Registrations<br />

Students register themselves for courses offered in a<br />

semester according to the dates given in Academic<br />

Calendar which is notified in each semester and<br />

available on <strong>CASE</strong> website / Student Affairs<br />

department and notice boards. The course registration<br />

in each semester is mandatory. If a student does not<br />

register himself / herself in a semester or apply for a<br />

semester leave till end of 2nd week of commencement<br />

of classes his /her admission will be cancelled.<br />

Late Registration<br />

The registration should not be late by more than one<br />

week of the normal registration deadline, inclusive of<br />

holidays, if any. The approvals of late registration must<br />

be granted by concerned department chair and<br />

forwarded to the President <strong>CASE</strong>. If approval is granted<br />

the student must deposit a sum of Rs. 500/- as late fee<br />

for undergraduate and Rs. 2000/- for postgraduate.<br />

Registration later than the expiry of late registration<br />

deadline is not accepted under any circumstances.<br />

Adding a Course<br />

Students can add course(s) before the end of the first<br />

week of the semester. They must submit printed and<br />

signed copy of online Course Add Form along with the<br />

proof of payment of the new course(s) fee. In case of<br />

undergraduate students, the Add Form must be signed<br />

by the respective academic advisor.<br />

Course Drop Policy<br />

After the initial registration students may drop courses in<br />

the period specified in the academic calendar by<br />

submitting signed copy of online course Drop Form.<br />

After a certain deadline, students cannot withdraw or<br />

change a course. It is the students' responsibility to check<br />

their latest course enrollment. The <strong>CASE</strong> management<br />

will not be responsible for any confusion due to incorrect<br />

course codes and/or section enrollment. In case of the<br />

undergraduate students the Drop Form must be signed<br />

by the respective academic advisor. The advisor<br />

determines whether the withdrawal is crucial for the<br />

advisee's academic performance and whether the<br />

course is not a pre-requisite for next semester courses for<br />

the advisee. Withdrawal from a course will not be<br />

allowed if it leads to a failure in meeting the minimum<br />

course load requirement for maintaining student's<br />

semester registration status, i.e. registration in a<br />

minimum of three courses in any semester. (Withdrawal<br />

from a repeating course, i.e. a course which the student is<br />

repeating for improving his previous grade earned in the<br />

same course in a previous semester, will not be allowed).<br />

If the course is withdrawn till the ninth week of the<br />

semester, the course will not appear on the transcript. If<br />

the course is withdrawn from the tenth week of the<br />

semester till the end of the twelfth week, inclusive of<br />

holidays, a W-grade appears on the transcript. W-grade<br />

does not count in the GPA calculations. No course<br />

withdrawal will be allowed after the twelfth week of the<br />

semester. Irrespective of the date of course withdrawal,<br />

no refund of any fee will be made.<br />

Auditing Courses<br />

A student can audit course(s) subject to the following<br />

terms and conditions:<br />

The course is not needed by him/her to graduate<br />

The audit status of a course cannot be changed to credit<br />

and course taken on credit cannot be changed to audit<br />

An audited course appears on the transcript with a<br />

V-grade. The V-grade does not count in the GPA<br />

calculations.<br />

Course Cancellation<br />

<strong>CASE</strong> reserves the right to cancel a course for any reason<br />

(e.g. low enrollment, etc).<br />

Interruption of Studies: Semester Leave<br />

(Programs affiliated with UET)<br />

Students can benefit from semester leaves. An<br />

undergraduate student is allowed a maximum of two<br />

semester leaves during his/her entire degree program.<br />

But Student cannot exercise this privilege during first<br />

two semester of his degree program, otherwise his/her<br />

admission will be cancelled. In case a student<br />

interrupts his/her study program at <strong>CASE</strong> for a period<br />

longer than one semester, his/her courses are<br />

evaluated by the concerned Chairman of the<br />

Department to determine their relevance to the<br />

changes made in the curriculum, if any, upon his/her<br />

return. In such a case, the student may be required to<br />

modify the degree plan in order to ensure conformity<br />

to the recent curriculum. A graduate student of the<br />

program is allowed semester leave of maximum three<br />

71<br />

semesters. A student cannot avail more than two<br />

consecutive semester leaves. Semester leave is<br />

granted by the competent authority through a<br />

prescribed semester leave forms. A student of Masters<br />

program is required to complete his/her degree within<br />

three and half years which can be extended up to four<br />

years with internal extension approval by <strong>CASE</strong><br />

authority. The maximum time for completion of PhD<br />

studies is six years for part time and four years for full<br />

time scholars. This period shall be counted from date<br />

of registration.<br />

Interruption of Studies: Semester Leave<br />

(Programs affiliated with QAU)<br />

The semester leave privilege is not available to the<br />

students. The students are required to register<br />

minimum three courses in each semester. The duration<br />

of completing Masters Degree is two years and for PhD<br />

is three years.<br />

Expulsion<br />

An expulsion may occur if a student is found using<br />

unfair means to complete course work such as:<br />

• Plagiarism (copying assignments, copying<br />

material of the internet or some other source<br />

without mentioning reference of the source etc.)<br />

• Cheating in an exam<br />

• Misconduct towards <strong>CASE</strong> staff, faculty or fellow<br />

colleagues<br />

• Misuse of facilities provided to the students<br />

• Spamming; sending unsolicited emails to <strong>CASE</strong><br />

students, staff or faculty<br />

Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering


The performance of every student is monitored and assessed throughout the semester. The marks of quizzes,<br />

assignments, laboratory reports, project presentations, sessional examinations and their relative weightage is at<br />

the discretion of the course instructor subject to certain guidelines. Midterm/Sessional and End term<br />

examinations are mandatory and are also conducted during a semester.<br />

Grading Policy<br />

Grade is usually awarded on basis of relative grading and on a normal distribution curve; nonetheless the<br />

instructor's decision in this regard is considered final. Grades are indicated by letters and the grade points are<br />

assigned to each letter as shown below:<br />

The grade points for all the courses taken in that particular semester are calculated and added together. The sum<br />

is then divided by the total number of units taken in that semester. This quotient is the GPA for that semester. The<br />

following example illustrates the calculation of GPA with assumed data:<br />

Courses Taken Letter Grade Numerical Value Units Taken Grade Points<br />

Course 1 A 4.00 3 12.00<br />

Course 2 A 4.00 3 12.00<br />

Course 5 C+ 2.33 3 6.99<br />

Total 15 39.99<br />

Grade Points Average= 39.99/15 = 2.66 (taken to 2<br />

decimal places)<br />

Total Units Attempted:<br />

15 Credit will be granted for 12 units only (excluding<br />

the 3 units of the F grade)<br />

W Grade<br />

A student may withdraw from a course before the<br />

specified deadline, in which case the course will<br />

appear on the transcript with a “W” grade which will<br />

not count towards GPA calculations. However, “W”<br />

grade will not replace any earned grade, including “F”<br />

grade<br />

Incomplete (I) Grade<br />

A student may request for the award of an ‘I’<br />

(Incomplete) grade, if for some genuine reasons<br />

(beyond his control), he fails to appear in the end<br />

semester examination or final project. ‘I’ grade will not<br />

be awarded for any other deficiency in a course. For<br />

example a student who has missed course<br />

components other than the final exam/final project or<br />

obtained poor grades in tests, assignments, quizzes<br />

sessionals, and shortage in attendance, etc. will not be<br />

able to make these up by virtue of having been given<br />

an “I” grade. For the award of an ‘I’ grade, the student<br />

will apply on a prescribed form to the Chairman of the<br />

Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering 72


concerned department with the consent of the course<br />

instructor. The instructor may accept or reject the<br />

student’s request for ‘I’ grade at the initial stage. After<br />

the recommendation of the course instructor, the<br />

chairman will refer the case to the Departmental<br />

Semester Committee for the consideration. The<br />

Departmental Semester Committee will make its<br />

recommendation based on the genuineness of the<br />

case and on the bases of his performance in mid<br />

semester examinations, lab work, assignments,<br />

quizzes, class participation, attendance, etc. In case the<br />

student is allowed an ‘I’ grade, it must be completed<br />

before the commencement of the forthcoming End<br />

Semester Examination, failing which the ‘I’ grade will<br />

automatically be converted to ‘F’ Grade.<br />

F Grade<br />

The undergraduate student must pass all the courses<br />

according to his/her program of studies including the<br />

course in which he/she gets “F” grade.<br />

The graduate students who get an “F” grade in a course<br />

may retake the same course. If he/she does not repeat<br />

the course the “F” grade will affect his/her CGPA. Only<br />

the new grade will be used in the calculation of his/her<br />

CGPA. In this case his/her accumulated credits will also<br />

show an addition of 3 credit hours. However, the<br />

transcript of record will still show both grades for that<br />

course (previous “F” and new grade)<br />

It is acceptable to consider that a student is eligible to<br />

graduate, even if the student has a pending “F” grade in<br />

any subject, provided that the student fulfills all the<br />

following conditions:<br />

1. The student has otherwise completed all the<br />

degree requirements.<br />

2. The student fulfills the minimum credit<br />

requirement with courses other than the course(s)<br />

in which the “F” grade(s) is obtained; i.e. the<br />

student has completed the required number of<br />

courses for the degree with passing grades, apart<br />

from the course(s) with the “F” grade(s).<br />

3. The course in which “F” grade is obtained does not<br />

fall in the category of the students' chosen<br />

Area of Specialization (for Electrical & Computer<br />

Engineering Department) or Core Courses (for<br />

Engineering Management Department). If it does<br />

fall in either of the above two categories, then the<br />

course must be passed to graduate.<br />

Re-Checking of Papers<br />

There shall be no re-evaluation of answer scripts of the<br />

end semester examination. However, a candidate shall<br />

be allowed to have his Final Examination answer book<br />

rechecked on submitting requests along with the<br />

payment of the prescribed fee. This request must be<br />

submitted within 15 Days after the Announcement of<br />

Provisional Result. The case will be forwarded to the<br />

concerned committee.<br />

73<br />

Grade Improvement by Repeating a<br />

Course<br />

The undergraduate Students can improve “F & D”<br />

grades only by repeating the course in which they did<br />

not get satisfactory grades. In such cases, all grades<br />

earned by students will appear on the transcripts;<br />

however, only the latest grade is counted in calculating<br />

the CGPA, even if it is lower than the earlier one.<br />

The graduate students can improve the course already<br />

passed with grade ‘C’ or less. He can also appear in new<br />

courses for improvement of his CGPA.<br />

Academic Standings<br />

Graduate Programs<br />

For graduate students there are three academic<br />

standings at <strong>CASE</strong>:<br />

Good:<br />

If GPA >= 2.70 and CGPA >= 2.70<br />

Unsatisfactory scholarship for one semester or an<br />

unsatisfactory overall average. A notice that further<br />

unsatisfactory scholarship will lead to more sever<br />

action.<br />

Probation:<br />

Continued unsatisfactory semester scholarship when on<br />

Warning prior semester, i.e. a student earning a semester<br />

GPA less than 2.70 when already on Warning. Further<br />

unsatisfactory scholarship will lead to Drop action. Can<br />

not register for full load in the next semester.<br />

Review:<br />

Temporary standing when the appropriate action<br />

appears to be dismissal; a review of the semester<br />

record shows that the student did not complete the<br />

semester or an explanation is required before standing<br />

is finalized. Student is not eligible to continue<br />

enrollment unless Review is changed to a standing<br />

other than Dropped. If an acceptable explanation is<br />

efforts and innovative capabilities of Pakistani professionals<br />

so that they can have a unique platform to discuss,<br />

formulate and apply various concepts and industry driven<br />

solutions for the betterment of this country. It is a place<br />

where we put knowledge into action and thrive on the<br />

outcomes.<br />

The society itself welcomes everybody from working<br />

professionals to young engineers to present their research,<br />

case studies or to use this as a platform to go into the<br />

industry and contribute.<br />

Thinker’s Forum<br />

It aims to harness the creative as well as the thinking<br />

prowess of the students. With the vision of “Today’s<br />

Thinkers, Tomorrow’s Leaders”, we recognize the<br />

importance of intellectual exercise within and beyond the<br />

scope of engineering. We hope to provide a platform where<br />

students are free to speak their minds, discuss the moral<br />

taboos which have plagued our society for decades and put<br />

up solutions to the problems in feasible ways, to help<br />

themselves, the people around them and Pakistan.<br />
