MessagefromtheRectorPIEAS

Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) has

been active in education of engineering and applied sciences for a period of
more than four decades. PIEAS has consistently focused on one single
objective, that is, to rigorously impart most modern knowledge to the
nations young engineers, scientists, and doctors in areas of interest for
national strategic organizations.
PIEAS offers PhD, MS, BS degree programs in the diverse areas of
engineering, physical and medical sciences. BS in Mechanical Engineering
is yet another enterprise of PIEAS to address the manpower requirements of
public and private sector organizations of the country. I am confident that
the faculty of the Department of Mechanical Engineering will maintain the
international standards of pedagogy and scholarship, and uphold its
traditions of excellence in imparting quality education.
The most stringent set of quality measures throughout the academic
process at all levels is a feature of which PIEAS always takes pride in.
PIEAS has been ranked No. 1 institution amongst the Engineering Universities of Pakistan by the Higher Education Commission, Islamabad.
The students at PIEAS are selected strictly on merit alone. So, at
PIEAS, there are talented students from every region of the country. This
makes the environment at PIEAS even more conducive for profound and
absorbing studies.
With the Grace of Allah, PIEAS graduates have done extremely well in
higher studies at the reputed universities of USA, Canada, UK, France,
Germany, Japan and China. The performance of PIEAS graduates in national
strategic organizations has also been excellent. With the continuous
improvements being made at PIEAS, we hope that quality of our graduates
in coming years would be even better!
Dr. Muhammad Aslam

MessagefromtheHeadofDepartment

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is dedicated to the progress of

its students. We strive to give our students new experience as well as a
breadth of knowledge, making the engineers attractive to the changing job
market with an indigenous design and development capabilities. The social
activities at our department will also enriches the student life outside the
professional sphere.
The department of Mechanical Engineering is actively participating in
different research fields especially in Turbo-machinery. A large number of
MS students have done their thesis in this field. Number of research papers
and conference proceedings have also been presented.
One of our ambitions is to become the leader in Mechanical Engineering
Education that provides the graduates who will bring revolution in
Pakistans industrial development. The department has launched its MS
Mechanical
Engineering program in 2006. This is a fivesemester (24
months) full time program. Emphasis is on the practical applications of
mechanical engineering towards national engineering needs. The MS
program comprises of three main streams namely, Mechanical Engineering
Design, Computational Solid Mechanics and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
In fall 2009, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is launching BS
Mechanical Engineering. This is an eightsemester (48 months) full time
program covering various aspects of Mechanical Engineering. There is an
increasing demand of Mechanical Engineering graduates in public and
private sectors of Pakistan. The Department has state of the art facilities to
provide hands on experience to its students. The accreditation of the
program from Pakistan Engineering Council is under process.
