Welcome Address by the Chairman
I have great pleasure in
writing this welcome address as the
first Chairman of the newly established
Department of Urban and Infrastructure
Engineering. With its futuristic vision
and in its zeal to maintain the renowned
position it enjoys in institutions of higher
learning, NED University has dwelled
upon addressing the emerging issues
of Infrastructure engineering emanating
as the effect of large scale urbanization.
BE(Urban Engineering), a four years
Bachelors degree programme, was initiated
at the turn of the millennium (year
2001), initially administered by Department
of Civil Engineering. While the programme
got maturity and received Pakistan Engineering
Council accreditation, the Department of
Urban and Infrastructure Engineering was
formed to take it further on.
The prospects of BE Urban
engineering programme are bright. We may
speak of good placements of graduates from
the pass-out batches. These placements are
in organizations both within the local consulting
and construction industry as well as in
the international markets. The areas of
engross of our graduates include Transportation
Engineering, Structural Engineering Geotechnical
Engineering, Traffic Modeling, Construction
and Project Management, Water Resource Engineering
and Management.
Continuing with efforts
to maintain the quality of education and
research, the Department places high emphasis
on active coordination with various stake-holders
who play vital role in development and sustainability
of infrastructure. The linkage partners
include local government, international
universities and centres of excellence.
Alongside, the Department vigorously pursues
the task of value addition to both the faculty
and the students in order to provide leadership
in the field of Urban and Infrastructure
Engineering.
