PREFACE
The curriculum, with varying definitions, is a plan of the teaching-learning

process that students of an academic programme are required to
undergo. It includes objectives and learning outcomes, course contents,
scheme of studies, teaching methodologies and methods of assessment
of learning. Knowledge in all academic disciplines is expanding and even
new disciplines are also emerging, it is imperative that curriculum are
developed and revised regularly.
University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent

authority to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide
Section 3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled
“Supervision of Curricula and Textbooks and Maintenance of
Standard of Education”. With the repeal of UGC Act, the same function
was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under its
Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v).
In compliance with the provisions, the Curriculum Division of HEC

undertakes the revision of curricula after every three years through
respective National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which
consist of eminent professors and researchers of relevant fields from
public and private sector universities, R&D organizations, councils,
industry and civil society nominated by their organizations.
In order to impart education at par with quality international standards,

HEC NCRCs have developed unified templates as guidelines for the
development and revision of curricula in the disciplines of Basic
Sciences, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture and
Engineering in 2007 and 2009.
It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective

NCRC’s, would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and
economic needs, and it would also provide the level of competency
specified in Pakistan Qualification Framework to make it compatible with
international educational standards. The curriculum is also placed on the
website of HEC (www.hec.gov.pk).

Minutes of NCRC- Computer (Systems) Engineering
The Meeting 1 held on November 10-12, 2014, at HEC
Regional Headquarters Lahore.
The NCRC meeting started with the recitation from Holy Qur’an.
Mr. Nazeer Hussain Pathan, Regional Director, HEC Lahore welcomed
all experts on behalf of the Chairperson, Higher Education Commission
(HEC).
The experts were appraised about the role of HEC for development of
curricula. They were briefed about regular revision of curricula for
improving the quality of education in all disciplines taught by different
universities and institutions to meet the educational needs of the country.
Professor Dr. Mohammad Riaz Moghal and Professor Dr. Shakeel Khoja
were elected convener and secretary of the committee respectively. The
convener and secretary thanked the committee members for showing
their confidence.
The Committee unanimously decided on the following points:
1. Course outlines, and course learning objectives for each course,
at institutional level, must be clearly identified and teachers
should be encouraged to assess their students based on these
learning objectives.
2. Problem Solving Techniques should be added in foundation level
courses. Problem Based Learning (PBL) pedagogy should be
introduced so that students get an opportunity to work on real
world problems, rather than learning through traditional repetition
and rote learning.
3. Computer (Systems) Engineering should be considered as a
separate discipline and may not be treated as a specialty of
Electrical Engineering. The main reason of isolating Computer
(Systems) Engineering is to retain its uniqueness of having its
niche not only in engineering domain, but also in the computing
world. Due to its immensity of curriculum, a Computer
(Systems) Engineering graduate will pretense such unique
aspects.
4. The duration of program is 4 years (8 semesters) and each
semester is of 18 weeks (16 for teaching and 2 for
examinations). The program consists of 65 to 70 percent of
engineering courses and 30 to 35 percent of non-engineering
courses.
7
5. During the first four semesters, foundation level and general
breadth-level core courses should be taught. Passing of these
courses should be mandatory for all students. The breadth
courses lead students to different areas of specializations.
6. In the last four semesters, depth-level elective courses should be
offered. These depth courses offer specialization within each
engineering discipline. All depth courses must integrate a
substantial design component. The students may select electives
from any of the areas of specialization with some guidelines from
their respective advisors. The students have to meet all the pre-
requisites before taking breadth/depth courses.
7. Computer Fundamentals course (Introduction to Computers /
Introduction to Computer Applications / or any other title/name
through which this course is taught) should be considered as a
University core and should be taught to all disciplines across the
University.
8. Computer Programming course should be shifted to first
semester, so that students should get a taste of high level
language programming since the start of Engineering Program.
9. Applied Physics course and Basic Electrical Engineering Course
should be merged.
10. Electric Network Analysis course should be revised / removed
from the existing list of core courses.
11. Object Oriented Programming (OOP) course should be made as
a core course for Computer (Systems) Engineering Program.
12. Workshop Practice course of 1 credit hour should be introduced.
It is recommended that Electric and Electronics workshops
should be used for this program.
13. Basic Electrical Engineering course should come before Digital
Logic Design course.
14. For Computer Architecture course, lab component should be
introduced, and Assembly Language should be taught in these
lab sessions.
15. At least two electives from Management Sciences should be
introduced, so that students should learn basics of accounting,
economics, management, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
16. Course of Professional Practice should be made mandatory.
17. After thorough discussions on current curriculum, the following
sub-committees were formulated for different categories of
subjects in Computer (Systems) Engineering -C(S)E for updating
of course contents:
