Rationale Kohat University of Science and Technology is a Public Sector University endeavoring to be at the forefront of science and technology such that to provide the entrepreneurship, research, education and other client agencies with innovative ideas through highly motivated, ambitious, and forward-looking graduates. To develop and sustain high quality education, KUST is providing strong academic, guidance, and welfare systems designed to support students from every walk of life and every community. Capacity building, degree programs, and an ever-growing national dimension, are our distinctive characteristics, all planned to contribute to the outstanding employment prospects of our graduates. The establishment of KUST is in line with the objectives of the Higher Education aiming to ensure the availability of quality education and uplifting of research capabilities of the universities. The capital of the province Peshawar - has well-established universities (both in the public and private sectors) while the southern part lacked such facilities till the recent past. Establishment of KUST is a first single step towards this great journey. It covers the southern and western flank of the province and thus completes the network of the universities in all parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Location Kohat University of Sciences & Technology is situated at a distance of 9km from Kohat City on Indus Highway. Briefly to mention, the historic city of Kohat, lying at the confluence of Orakzai and Kurram Agencies on one side and Dara Adam Khel on the other side is famous for being the centre of Inter Services Selection Board, Home of Signals, Cadet College Kohat, and Tanda Dam. It has one of the most beautiful cantonments of the Province and a famous Kohat Fort made by Mughal Emperor Akbar. Kohat lies at the periphery of Southern areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is at a distance of 66 km from the provincial capital, Peshawar. The newly constructed Kohat Tunnel has further enhanced its strategic importance. It is the hometown of many brave sons who have served and are serving in the armed forces of Pakistan and other government institutions and have rendered great sacrifices for the country on many occasions

Objectives of KUST

FACULTY OF SCIENCE
Faculty of Science is one of the pioneering Faculties of the Kohat University of Science and Technology (KUST). In our Faculty, we place emphasis on high quality teaching complimented by originality in research work. Our strength is our highly skilled faculty members who publish regularly in international journals of repute; and our students that are enrolled through a rigorous process of selection from across the province on the basis of merit established through a test administered by an independent body. We are making every effort to create an atmosphere that is conducive for learning and innovation. Our syllabi are set to provide our students with the training and impart skills that would enable them to play an effective role in the modern competitive world. KUST is still going through its infancy and is open to new ideas. We have set very high goals for ourselves in the Faculty, nonetheless. We aim at generating innovative ideas in sciences and technologies with a very vast scope: ranging from medicinal and plants chemistry to polymer science; from surface chemistry to structural chemistry; from reaction dynamics to molecular dynamics; from lasers to viable energy resources; from smart materials to nanotechnology; from ferromagnetic to superconducting and spintronic devices; from artificial intelligence to cognitive modeling; and from pure algebra to applied computational fluid dynamics. Our Chemistry Department can be easily grouped among the very best in the region with highly trained academic and support staff. This department enjoys the reputation of the most productive department in KUST in terms of research publications and grants. This department acquired state of the art equipment used for high end research and chemical analysis. It has a strong graduate program with dozens of students pursuing their PhD degrees. The Department of Physics also follows the course and has been able to attract very energetic faculty members involved in teaching in diverse areas and pursuing research at the frontiers of sciences. The Institute of Information Technology, alongside the largest body of students enrolled for the undergraduate and graduate programs, is also catering for the computational needs of the entire campus. This Institute has recently launched its own research journal with international editorial board that has already brought international recognition to KUST. Our Mathematics Department is not only looking after a large number of support courses for the students of other departments, but has its own undergraduate degree program. The faculty is also involved in research projects and would soon become a research productive department. We have recently started with the undergraduate program in Electrical and Computer Engineering with young and energetic academics offering courses designed according to the modern trends in engineering. Currently, we are in the process of accreditation of this program with the Pakistan Engineering Council. We have every reason to believe in the potentials of our faculty members as well as our students. The Faculty of Science at KUST would soon make its mark at the

10

national and international level, not only by continuing to produce highly skilled graduates but also by publishing the amount of new knowledge it creates and get it published in international journals of repute.

FACULTY OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

The Faculty of Biological Sciences comprises of four departments, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Plant Sciences, and Zoology. The Biotechnology and Microbiology departments are presently housed in the City Campus while Plant Sciences and Zoology are on the Main Campus. All of these departments offer undergraduate and graduate programmes leading to BS, MSc, MS/MPhil, and PhD degrees. The faculty is fairly rich and well resourced in terms of students, academic staff, and research facilities. The slogan of KUST research based teaching could be seen implemented in true letter and spirit in our Faculty. Teaching is complimented with the high quality research, making full use of the recently installed high-tech equipment worth millions of rupees. These include: HPLC, DNA Sequencer, RT-PCR, 2-D Gel Electrophoresis and SDS- PAGE Protein Analysis, Gel Documentation, Double Beam Spectrophotometers, Fermentor, Flame Photometer, Photosynthesis Meter, Leaf Area Meter, Water Potential Meter, Autoclave (various capacities), Growth Chambers and Incubators of various sizes, ultra low temperature Freezers, Centrifuge, and Optical Microscopes of various magnifications. Furthermore, research projects worth tens of millions are either in progress or near to completion, indicating active involvement of its faculty and graduate students in research. The Faculty of Biological Sciences, with the hard work of its faculty and students, has been producing competent and well qualified graduates. In a short span of time, it has grown and developed into an educational centre with emphasis on excellence, innovation, and high quality education with no compromise on discipline. The Faculty of Biological Sciences would surely continue its progress with the same zeal. It would not only continue to produce highly trained human resource to meet the socio-economic and developmental needs of our society but would also produce research work of international standards.

ELECTRONICS NETWORK SERVICES CENTER

ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING 2009-10 ENSC is committed to provide excellent voice and data services not only locally with in the University main Campus but also to remote sites like City Campus, KIMS etc. I am pleased to inform you that during the year 2009-10 ENSC has successfully accomplished the following activities. Setting up new Data Centre In order to construct a data center that can meet the challenges of the new market, there are three basic areas of data center definition and development: we have tried our level best to cover all these areas and set up a modern, scalable Data Centre. Facilities: including building, security, power, air conditioning and room for growth Internet connectivity: performance, availability and scalability Data center management: monitoring, support, and troubleshooting Users expect a physical and technical environment that offers the highest levels of reliability and flexibility. Accordingly, the Internet data center must provide the physical environment, network connectivity, technical skills and server hardware necessary to keep Internet servers up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Setting up repair/maintenance facility Like all machines, computers, printers, network switches, access points etc are subject to wear and tear and get outdated. The high demand for computers, coupled with the need for updates and repair, means that repair/maintenance facility is necessary. Such workshops must be set up properly in order to prevent injury to technicians. Though lacking in some of the diagnostic equipments, we

111

have established this facility at KUST and our technicians do 60-70 % of the repair work internally. Setting up Video Conferencing Hall Using live Video and Audio, videoconferencing allows you to hold or participate in meetings, conferences, lectures or seminars with out leaving university grounds. KUST is lucky enough to have this modern tool of communication. The students and staff equally utilizing this facility which provides free communication over the Internet. Establishment of KETV KUST is one of the few universities in Pakistan that has registered with PAMRA for its cable television services on the campus for Educational purposes. KUST Educational TV is currently showing 27 channels. Two of the channels are reserved to broadcast lectures and the rest are famous national and international news/sports and entertainment channels. The students and staff have cable TV access in their respective hostels. Intra-building connectivity through Optical Fiber All the buildings in the KUST main Campus are inter-connected through Fiber Optic that serves as the backbone of our Network/Internet services. This technology not only solved the issue of inter-connectivity among the buildings but also reasonably reduced the down time and congestion issues as well. CCTV Surveillance System at Main Campus, City Campus and KIMS Installation of CCTV security system in current dismal security situation particularly in KPK is indispensable. We have successfully installed CCTV system consisting of 9 CCTV cameras covering almost all the main areas of the main KUST campus. This system remains up 24*7. We do record videos that could be seen in case of any incident. Security Siren Installation

112

In order to inform the students and staff in case of any emergency situation like fire or presence of any explosive in any building KUST has its own alarm system in place. Internet/Network connectivity to Admin Block & Foreign Faculty suites As KUST is new and rapidly growing university, the permanent Admin Block is still under construction. The V.C. house and adjacent foreign faculty suites currently accommodating V.C secretariat, Establishment, Finance, Planning, QEC, Works and ILC etc. have been successfully connected to main Data Center for network/Internet services. Internet provision to KUST Hostels To fulfill the needs of staff and students regarding their lectures, theses, projects, and seminars or for any other information 24 hours internet facility is provided in each & every hostel of the KUST. Speed of surfing and downloading is up to 100KBPS. Fair to mention here that a few universities in Pakistan offer Internet facility in university houses, KUST staff/students living in hostels are lucky enough to have this facility. Up gradation of Internet Link Internet plays a significant role to access information nationally and internationally and get awareness of the research work being carried out around the world in various walks of life. KUST is rapidly growing educational institute. To produce quality graduates in this age of competition, any institute must be wellequipped with IT facilities. KUST initially had only 2MB link which was obviously insufficient to meet the requirements of a growing university. We have successfully upgraded our link from 2MB to 12MB which is now proficiently fulfilling the universitys ever growing needs. Setting up a High Performance Cluster KUST is one of the few fortunate universities in Pakistan that have got a very powerful High performance Cluster of their own. The Ex-Vice Chancellor Dr.

113

Lutfullah Kakakhel conceived the idea and was mainly instrumental to have this facility in KUST. The cluster consists of 48 nodes, each node having dual processor, thus providing a very powerful High performance Cluster for solving complex CPU intensive problems pertaining to Bioinformatics, Molecular and Cell Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and of course Computer Science.

Provision of Wireless Internet facility at Main Campus ENSC has provided wireless facility to the staff and students in and around the Main University Campus. Now all of our staff and students can access the network resources and Internet through wireless from anywhere indoor and outdoor in and around the University Main Campus. Student and Faculty can utilize this facility in the hostel as well round the clock. Provision of wireless Internet facility at KIMS Most recently we have successfully installed wireless technology in KIMS. Now staff and student of KIMS can utilize this facility in and around the KIMS premises. LAN Connectivity to Hill Academic block As some of the departments like Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Pharmacy, Journalism and English Language Lab etc have moved to new Hill Block, all these departments requested LAN connectivity and Internet facility. We have provided the connectivity, and now all of them fully utilize the network and Internet resources. KUST Web Development In this age of communication where Internet has been instrumental in turning the world into a global village, ignoring the significance of web is not affordable especially for an educational institute. The web site of any organization/ institute is supposed to present the true picture of the institute to the whole world.

114

In recent past our web development team has made tremendous efforts to make KUST web sit more dynamic and vibrant. In addition to web development the ENSC also provides web hosting facility to the students and faculty of KUST. This could help them to launch their web site with any problems like storage and domain issues. The combination of excellent educational technology and professional management makes the learning environment rich and dynamic. We at ENSC with limited human resources are fully committed to provide the best of our services to meet the ever increasing demands of very rapidly growing KUSTNET.
