Vice Chancellor's Message
Another year has passed, and the overall environment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has been bleak throughout. Militancy is
continuing unabated, and universities funding is still erratic. One of our sister universities' vice chancellor has been a
hostage with militants for over a year, and security concerns continue to impact many activities of the university. In these
testing times, UET strives to perform well, and has not done too poorly in our affairs.
Our regular work of education is continuing apace, and programs are on schedule. We are striving for deeper linkages with
industry, government and sister academic institutions. We are building on our academic partnership with Cambridge
University and are working with Bradford University to start a dual-degree program in Industrial Engineering.
A university role is not limited to the class or distribution of testimonials. We also have the onerous responsibility to convert
the academic intellect into relevant adaptive research that can result in marketable prototypes. While all departments are
focused on this, of particular mention is the Earthquake Engineering Center, Center for Intelligent Systems and Network Research and National Institute
of Urban Infrastructure Planning. Our faculty and students have published more than 85 research papers, presented more than 50 papers in conferences,
and are working on more than 110 research projects.
The HR assets are improving day by day. We now have a faculty of more than 70 with Ph.D degrees, and more than 100 are pursuing their Ph.D program
overseas. We are selecting another batch of more than 100 Ph.D scholarships available that need to be filled. Jalozai Campus is a 6.65 billion project, and
is coming along smoothly. We are anticipating start of classes in Fall-2012.
A recent addition to our academic pursuits is establishment of a campus at Kohat. This Campus has been started by “adopting” the Electrical Engineering
– Communications program of Kohat University of Science and Technology, and is currently housed in rented premises. The Governor, Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, and the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are facilitating provision of land on which a permanent campus will be constructed. We intend
to add Electrical-Power and Gas and Petroleum Engineering Programs.
We are planning to upgrade Mardan Campus by adding two new departments there. The faculty and infrastructure is already available. The Continuing
Engineering Center is now active throughout the year with training programs. Technology Incubation Center now has four incubatee start-ups. And we
have established an office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC) to take research from class rooms to laboratories to prototype
development and commercialization.
Extra-curricular activities have become an integral and robust part of our activities. Workshops, seminars, quest talks, exhibitions, debates, open houses
and sports are routine affairs throughout the year.

All in all, it has been a good year. While UET has come a long way, it needs to continue on this upward trajectory for the road to excellence is arduous and
long. With the help of our excellent student body, capable administration and highly qualified and dedicated faculty, I am confident we can continue taking
UET to new heights. For this I am grateful to the entire “family” at UET.
I am also grateful to the support that we have received from the Governor, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, especially
the Chief Minister, the Minister for Higher Education and the Department of Higher Education.
And finally, I am grateful to the HEC, the Planning Commission of Pakistan and the Finance Division that have kept education as a central plank of national
development agenda. I hope that this centrality is reflected in our budgetary allocation for education, and 4% of our GDP goes expressly and unequivocally
into this head.

The University
University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Peshawar, is a premier institution of higher
learning in the field of engineering sciences. Starting as a College in 1952, with an initial enrollment
of only twenty students, today it boasts sixteen departments, covering an entire spectrum of
engineering disciplines, from the traditional, such as electrical and mechanical, to the cutting-edge
technologies such as electronics, Mechatronics, and industrial engineering. To-date, more than
eight thousand students that graduated are serving the needs of Pakistan, and many have
achieved high positions of responsibility and excellence in their chosen fields.
Besides bachelors degree courses, there is a robust post-graduate programme, where scholars
are engaged in rigorous training and research leading to Master's and Ph.D degrees. UET also has
a strong out-reach programme, under which academic linkages with the world class universities of
UK, Canada, USA, Malaysia and Thailand offering invaluable training to faculty and students,
through split programmes, joint research and faculty exchanges.
Over the last few years, with Higher Education Commission's support, UET has initiated a number
of research and infrastructure development projects, with a portfolio of Rs. 9 billion. Major projects
include “Earthquake Engineering Center”, serving as a hub of applied research in South Asia, “Institute of Mechatronics Engineering”, “National Institute of Urban
Infrastructure Planning” and “Gems and Jewelery Center of Excellence”.
In order to increase access to engineering education, particularly for the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, UET has been awarded a “mega” project of Rs. 6 billion to
develop a new campus called, “Establishment of Jalozai Campus.” The Jalozai Campus promises to push boundaries for engineering education and will double its
student intake from 4000 to 8000 in five years time.
Peshawar Campus
With a modest beginning in 1952 as a “constituent” college of Peshawar University, UET, Peshawar, was established in 1980. Since then, three satellite campuses in
Abbottabad, Bannu and Mardan have been added. Recently we have expanded to Hayatabad also, having established centers of excellence and institutions. However,
Peshawar Campus remains the central nucleus of the University, keeping everything moving along the correct path.
Located in the historic city of Peshawar, UET is a reflection of the surrounding environment. While the ambiance on campus is predominantly academic, there is a strong
cultural flavor, easily discernable in every facet of its activities. Our unique cultural diversity is readily recognizable. There are many disciplines at Peshawar for students
to choose from. These are supported by well-equipped laboratories, departmental research, and a central library, sports facilities and enough dormitory accommodation
to house most students that need campus housing.
A new “live-in” campus in Jalozai is planned for over three thousand students. Other projects in the pipeline include starting new technologies, national level centers for
research, ambitious programmes to expand built-up area, strengthening of departments, particularly laboratories, and a major face-lift and improvement of the existing
infrastructure.

Satellite Campuses
Mardan Campus
As a result of our growth in the last few years, students were offered an option to get admission in other regions of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa. Mardan Campus was inaugurated in 2002, with a spirit to bring engineering education to people at their door
steps. The campus is spread over an area of more than 22 acres, including a covered area of 190,000 sq.ft., consisting of an
administration block, academic blocks, recreation centre, a new hostel for boys, and residential facility for faculty.
At Mardan we offer two engineering undergraduate programmes that include Telecommunication Engineering and Computer
Software Engineering. All the laboratories have recently been strengthened with the latest cutting-edge equipment. The ever
increasing applications demonstrate that student find programmes offered credible and useful.
Abbottabad Campus
The Chancellor, UET, Peshawar inaugurated Abbottabad Campus in October, 2002, in the old premises of Ayub Medical
College. The city of Abbottabad gained fame as a city of schools and colleges. Due to a pleasant climate, people from all parts of
the country send their children to study in reputed educational institutions such as Army Burn Hall, Abbottabad Public School,
COMSATS Institute of Information Technology etc. In addition, five medical colleges in the city also attract students.
Establishment of a campus of UET, Peshawar in Abbottabad has not only addressed a longstanding public demand, but also
enhanced the city's image as a seat of learning. Known for its natural beauty, better climatic conditions and a vast network of
educational institutions, Abbottabad was ideally suited for such an institution of higher learning in applied sciences. A new girl's
hostel with a capacity to accommodate hundred students has been constructed at the campus.
Bannu Campus
Bannu Campus became operational in May 2002, in the premises of the Comprehensive High School in the city. This has brought
higher education in engineering sciences to this neglected middle-southern region. Prior to this, students would go to Dera Ismail
Khan, Kohat or Peshawar to pursue their higher studies.
Currently, two traditional disciplines in engineering sciences are offered, and efforts are afoot to consolidate these programmes.
Large investment in strengthening laboratories and upgrading infrastructure are being done to quickly bring this campus at par
with others. The guiding principle is that standards at all campuses of UET must be the same. The results show that Bannu
campus students have shown best results in some areas. The University under its project “strengthening of satellite campuses” is
renovating and building academic block and administration block at the campus. A new hostel has recently been commissioned.
Kohat Campus
The Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Barrister Masood Kausar handed over the administrative and Management Control of
Engineering Academic Programmes of Kohat University of Science and Technology (KUST) to UET Peshawar on April 3, 2012.
At present, UET Kohat Campus is offering B.Sc Electrical Engineering in leased premises.

R & D—An Overview of Projects

R & D—An Overview of Projects
Gems & Jewelery Center of Excellence
Pakistan is the fifth largest country in the world for occurrence of gemstones.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Federally administered tribal area (FATA) and Northern
areas (N.As) of Pakistan are endowed with abundant resources of gemstones
and rare minerals not being exploited due to remote locations & lack of practical &
technical know-how of the local people.
The industry, having enormous hidden potential has not been harnessed due to a
number of factors. These include lack of modern cutting/ polishing & faceting
facilities, lack of gemstones identification & certification facilities, inadequate
consulting services, inconsistent & non-sustainable production and export
arrangements, and more importantly, lack of training & skill development facilities
for people.
With the initial support of HEC, UET established its Gemstone Development Cell
with the objective to develop manpower, relevant expertise and development of
sophisticated /international standard level laboratories of gemology and lapidary
in 2007.
Offering its services to the local communities, GDC trained first batch from FATA
in gemology. This five-month diploma in gemology was funded by USAID in order
to empower the local people for the economic and social uplift in FATA.
Subsequently, UET and FDP-LD with the funding of US Government through
USAID upgraded to Center of Excellence to expand the scope of gemstones
business for FATA people on self employment basis.
So far, more than 200 people from FATA and Pakistan have been trained in
gemology and lapidary under the supervision of foreign qualified staff. GJDC has
set an exemplary trend by developing collaboration with international partners
while realizing its responsibility to help local communities innovate and thrive in
an increasingly competitive and globalized economy.
