Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest, and broadest engineering discipline, which is concerned with the utilization of principles of Energy, Mechanics, and Materials Sciences for the analysis, design, and manufacturing of a variety of mechanical systems including but not limited to Power Plants, Fluid Machinery, Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Systems, Mechanisms and Machinery, Pipelines, Transportation Systems of all kinds. Mechanical Engineering also encompasses the engineering management of engineering organizations, in addition to maintenance of engineering equipments. BSc Mechanical Engineering program, a four years degree program is a well established program of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The program, ranking is 301-350 worldwide in QS Ranking. The program is accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council(PEC) under Outcome Based Education(OBE) in accordance with the Washington Accord(WA). The program is well structured with an up-to-date curriculum, and exposure to engineering activities like Complex Engineering Problems, Problem Based Learning, Open Ended Labs, and Projects. Students are provided with the opportunity of Internships at various engineering organizations for practical exposure. Mechanical Engineering graduates are employed in diversified engineering organizations.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Program Educational Objectives(PEOs) are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to demonstrate a few years after graduation. Following are the Program Educational Objectives(PEOs) for B.Sc Mechanical Engineering program of the department:

  • PEO-1: Apply the knowledge to solve analytical and practical engineering problems. (Engineering Capabilities)
  • PEO-2: Work for continuous professional and sustainable socio-technical development. (Societal Development and Lifelong Learning)
  • PEO-3: Demonstrate professional ethics, effective communication, and managerial skills. (Ethics, Management, and Communication)

PEOs of the BSc Mechanical Engineering program are aligned with the Vision and Mission of the university, and with the Mission of Program of BSc Mechanical Engineering.

Program Learning Outcomes(PLOs):

Program Learning Outcomes(PLOs) or Graduate Attributes(GAs) are the narrower statements that describe what students are expected to know and able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to the knowledge, skills and attitude that the students acquire while progressing through the program. Following twelve Graduate Attributes(GAs) have been adopted as PLOs for B.Sc Mechanical Engineering:

GA1 Engineering Knowledge: An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

GA2 Problem Analysis: An ability to identify, formulate, research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.

GA3 Design/Development of Solutions: An ability to design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

GA4 Investigation: An ability to investigate complex engineering problems in a methodical way including literature survey, design and conduct of experiments, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and synthesis of information to derive valid conclusions.

GA5 Modern Tool Usage: An ability to create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modeling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.

GA6 The Engineer and Society: An ability to apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solution to complex engineering problems.

GA7 Environment and Sustainability: An ability to understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of, and need for, sustainable development.

GA8 Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.

GA9 Individual and Team Work: An ability to work effectively, as an individual or in a team, on multifaceted and /or multidisciplinary settings.

GA10 Communication: An ability to communicate effectively, orally as well as in writing, on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

GA11 Project Management: An ability to demonstrate management skills and apply engineering principles to one’s own work, as a member and/or leader in a team, to manage projects in a multidisciplinary environment.

GA12 Lifelong Learning: An ability to recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in, independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
