RECTORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S NOTE By the grace of Almighty Allah, NUST has continued its journey of growth and diversification in the year 2011 as well. While we focused on consolidation in most of our disciplines, we introduced one BS, four MS and five new PhD programmes in the engineering, medicine and computer science. This year, our student population almost peaked as all undergraduate programmes started in 2008 in our Islamabad campus got their fourth induction and thus became fully loaded. For the first time, the student population in Islamabad Campus touched five and a half thousand mark and thus nearly equaled the population of students on the six old colleges. NUST is no more a purely engineering university. It is rapidly acquiring the status of a comprehensive university with expansion on life sciences, natural sciences, social sciences and arts, while retaining its lead in engineering and IT. It is absolutely in line with its vision, mission and growth strategy. It is heartening to note that NUST has become a choice of every aspiring student. Consequently, in 2011 we had more than 52000 applicants for less than 2000 seats in our undergraduate programmes. An even more encouraging trend is the aspiration of our younger generation to acquire a postgraduate degree. Hence, in 2011 we enrolled more than 1200 students in our MS/M Phil programmes. The population of our PhD students likewise touched the all time high mark of 350. This is likely to continue as NUST provides quality education and very conducive research environment. Despite the environment of fiscal austerity, NUST continues to invest in value addition to its academic programs by upgrading its labs and libraries as well as promoting research and development. Its manifestation is the continuous growth not only in the number of research publications, but also in their

impact factor. In 2011, the number of our publications reached 386 and their impact factor touched the record level of 336; which is almost four times the impact factor four years back (i.e. 2007). NUST continues to be an international star as it retains its ranking in the Top 500 universities of the world and it is ranked 84th in Asia with its rank in engineering and IT being 58th in Asia and 250th in the world. NUST continues to align it strategic thrusts with those of HEC that has asked universities to focus on contributing to the economic and social development of Pakistan and produce the future leaders for the nation. NUST prides in serving the middle and lower classes of the society and values merit and fairness in all its endeavours starting from the selection and recruitment of its faculty members and staff to the admission of students purely on merit, thus ensuring their quality. I commend my faculty, staff and students for transforming NUST into a true centre of excellence. I acknowledge the wholehearted support of Ministry of Science and Technology and HEC. I also thank the chairman BOG and all other members of the Board for posing trust in me and my entire team to transform NUST into a true world class university. We bow our heads before God Almighty for giving his infinite blessings and bounties in all the spheres of our life, thus enabling us to deliver on our commitments to the Nation. Engr Muhammad Asghar

Foreword Against the backdrop of rapid technological advancements, universities have assumed the role of drivers of development and economic stability. Now a visible urge can be seen among top-notch universities of the world to foster a research culture compatible with growing human needs. The traces of such an environment are conspicuous at NUST, a centre of excellence having won international acclaim in a very short time span. The University targets getting education internationalized and in so doing its erudite faculty not only transfer latest knowledge among students but also serve as mentors to transform them into thorough professionals. NUST alumni’s enviable employability ratio in itself is an instance highlighting meritorious academic values maintained at the University. Being cognizant of unprecedented economic challenges facing Pakistan and to address the grave issue of unemployment, NUST also works to evoke the spirit of enterprise among its students. In 2011, Nustians’ accomplishments at some global entrepreneurial challenges including second Global Entrepreneurship Challenge in Istanbul (Turkey), the conduct of DISCOVER and other such initiatives, locally promoting interest in innovation, are the milestone achievements underlining the University’s resolve and ability to banish financial imbalance from the country. NUST progressively incorporates the best practices to its academic and research endeavours. Being a front-runner in pursuing HEC’s vision of transforming varsities into engines of economic revival, NUST has been aggressively adding value towards the fast-paced development of a knowledge-based economy. After having received guidelines from HEC regarding the establishment of Offices of Research Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC), NUST had no difficulty in the implementation of the same given the presence of essential ingredients of ORIC in the existing setup. The University has also developed NUSTinnopedia that aims at addressing information flow and information processing needs of R&D, its financial support and commercialization. The software has been designed to store comprehensive information about latest research. In the year 2011 only, five NUST patents were approved, which indeed is a remarkable achievement. NUST always remains focused on strengthening bilateral ties with the industry. Industry Liaison Office (ILO) extensively networks with the corporate sector in terms of students’ job placement and internships, and most importantly bridging the gulf between academia and industry towards addressing contemporary needs. During 2011, several activities such as recruitment drives, employer sessions and branding events, etc helped students get themselves well-acquainted with the current market trends. Owing to exponential infrastructural expansion, NUST has been able to introduce more programmes of studies in a wide range of disciplines. In the year 2011, NUST introduced a fresh undergraduate course in Computer Science while the University also offered new postgraduate programmes in Economics, Molecular Medicine, Community Medicine Mechanical Engineering and Robotics and Intelligent Machine Engineering. Compassion is intrinsic to human beings. What one needs is to identify areas for its true embodiment. Whenever there has been a national/social calling, NUST has shown its dutiful presence. The active participation of a major chunk of the University’s faculty, staff and students in various community service initiatives has yielded many a fruitful result. In 2011, NUST Community Service Club remained effervescent in extending support to the downtrodden through several measures viz. distribution of relief goods among flood affectees, blood donation drive, sports gala for nearly 3000 orphans, etc. NUST’s coveted ascension among the conglomerate of world’s elite academic institutions indeed is an inestimable gift of Allah, the Almighty. Needless to mention, the concerted efforts of all the University stakeholders that helped materialize the dream of having such a centre of excellence in Pakistan. NUST experienced phenomenal growth in the year 2011 and is fully poised for an even brighter future.

About the University National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) is a premier national institution that has won global acclaim within a short span of time. Various constituent schools and colleges functioning under the umbrella of NUST are imparting high quality education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the disciplines of Engineering, Management and Social Sciences, Information Technology, Medicine and Basic Sciences. In order to address higher education needs of the country, NUST has made monumental strides thus drawing appreciation from across the world. Needless to say, it is because of the high teaching and research standards maintained at NUST that numerous reputed foreign universities are working in collaboration with the University on various projects of mutual benefit. Moreover, the expansion of facilities at NUST new campus, located in the tranquil setting of the federal capital, helps ensure conducive environment to cater for the educational needs of a large number of talented students.

CHAPTER 03

Quality Assurance

Quality Enhancement Cell It has been a common realization that the quality of education in most of the institutions of higher education in Pakistan requires immense improvement. In order to cater for this very important issue, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan embarked upon a much needed programme of Quality Assurance / Enhancement of Higher Education in the country with a view to bringing the same at par with the international standards. HEC set up Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) for Higher Education in 2002 and during FY 2006 facilitated establishment of Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) at 10 public sector universities, including NUST. Up till now a total of 69 and 15 such cells have been established at public and private sector universities, respectively. A complete roadmap for stage-wise implementation of Quality Assurance Mechanism, formulated by QAA is described below: a. Each department will prepare Self Assessment Report (SAR) for each of its programmes b. This Self-assessment will be followed by the University’s Internal Audit to assess the effectiveness of the Department’s Self-assessment Process c. The Internal Audit will be followed by the External Review of the University, which will be conducted by the HEC QAA Since NUST was already following a system of academic and R&D audits, it had no difficulty in quickly aligning its evaluation system as per HEC guidelines. Directorate of Quality Assurance established at NUST in year 2005, QEC being its part, has undertaken various activities for Quality Assurance / Enhancement of academic and research activities. As NUST is a multi-campus university, it was deemed appropriate to establish QEC detachments at its constituent institutions. Hence Local Quality Enhancement Cells (LQECs) have been established at all the NUST constituent institutions as field setups. The LQECs undertake the QA activities at their respective institutions in liaison with QA Dte.

NUST QEC Rating In 2011, Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) of HEC announced the rating of Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs) established at eighty four Pakistani Universities. NUST QEC attained score of 96% and was included in category ‘W’ of the Quality Enhancement Cells (QECs).

CHAPTER 05

Access

Basic Enrolment With its galaxy of 18 constituent institutions, NUST provides quality education to a large number of students from all strata of society. The number of fresh applicants every year exceeds the one registering in the preceding year. That is why the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s student strength has progressively increased during the past few years. The popularity of our programmes is evident from the fact that more than 52,000 students applied for the undergraduate programmes in the year 2011 against the allocated seats of about 2,100.

Category-wise Student Strength The student strength for the year 2011 is given below: Category

The figures given in the table show that NUST’s annual student intake has increased substantially during the past few years. This increase is largely attributed to establishment of NUST central campus H-12 in the federal capital. Similarly, faculty strength is anticipated to grow at a much faster pace commensurate with the rapid increase in the student ratio. In line with NUST Vision 2020, we aim to induct about 18,000 students, including a major number of those pursuing MS/MPhil and PhD programmes.

Equity NUST admissions are purely based on merit without any discrimination of gender, race or creed. Thus, the University inducts students from across Pakistan and from all strata of society. Afterwards, NUST ensures that no one is constrained to quit studies for want of resources due to financial hardships. At present, it provides financial support to 33% of its student population.

Financial Assistance NUST students can receive financial assistance through different sources, the details of which are given below:

Undergraduate Students Need-based Scholarship/Fee Waiver NUST has launched a need-based scholarship scheme to enable under-privileged but talented students financially to acquire higher education. Salient features of the scheme are: »» Scholarships will be awarded to needy students of the new batch every year. »» The scholarship will be for full duration of the programme in which the student is enrolled.

CHAPTER 06

Universities-Industry Linkages

Industrial Liaison Office The main aim of the Industrial Liaison Office (ILO) is to network with industry so as to introduce industry to NUST institutions aiming at solving industrial problems and adding value to industrial products. The Office also endeavours to make NUST graduates the most desirable choice for all employers and to increase employability rate significantly.

Objectives To fulfil its goals, the ILO has the following objectives: • Develop and maintain industry linkages and identify specific industry partners for the ongoing research at NUST. • Gauge industry needs and process matchmaking with NUST Schools/Colleges/Institutes/Centres to solve industrial problems. • Acquisition of job opportunities/placement from industry and handling all activities to facilitate identification and coordination for placement of NUST graduates. • Facilitation of internships including acquisition of internship slots and coordinating with industry as well as NUST institutions on the subject. • Conduct of employer sessions. • Take feedback of student capabilities from industry and apprise/advise NUST management accordingly. • Coordinate and promote alumni activities by acting as NUST Alumni Secretariat. • Industrial Exhibitions in coordination with Marketing and Commercialization Office. In order to achieve its objectives ILO is divided into two main areas. These are:

• Industrial Relations (IR) The role of IR is to build and maintain strong academia-industry linkage with the focus on promoting and making NUST graduates the premium choice for the employers. IR is already fostering professional networks; therefore it also supports Technology Transfer Office to leverage these contacts in finding the potential industrial partners for the research/ technologies being developed at NUST for commercialization purposes.

Objectives To fulfil its goals, the ILO has the following objectives: • Build strong industry academia ties • Increase internship and job placement rate • Monitor industry trends • Build a “Career portal” which will benefit students and employers alike • Facilitate, plan and organize Recruitment drives • Plan and develop Student development workshops/seminars/forums

• Alumni Affairs The role of this department is to build and maintain lifelong relations with the NUST alumni through a common platform in order to stimulate interest, build loyalty, increase involvement and generate support for the University.

www.nust.edu.pk

Progress in 2011 In times of high unemployment and intense competition, the Industry Liaison Office (ILO) along with constituent colleges/schools has been working very hard in order to develop and maintain NUST job market. The ILO has worked extensively with the corporate sector and Schools seeking internships, jobs and cementing the long-term mutually beneficial industrial linkages. At the start of the year, the ILO devised a policy the aim of which was to assist in successfully accomplishing the goals of the departments. Since then the ILO has reached out to over 100 companies, significantly increasing its lists of active contacts. This extensive reach out has resulted in an increased number of jobs and internships, employer sessions, networking nights, industrial tours etc. The following activities were undertaken during 2011:-

to such institutions to conduct extensive R&D on joint venture basis enabling the company to acquire the benefit of R & D on mutually agreed elements.

Objectives of STV

a. S T Ventures is formed to be the enabler in creating new enterprises and jobs by accelerating commercialization of R&D outputs. The core activity is to start businesses based on technology, research work, technical knowledge and innovative products acquired from universities, educational institutions and R&D organizations. b. Promote R&D and technological innovations through marketable products and systems. c. Form spin-off companies pertaining to development of Science & Technology into profitable business and to invest into technology-based projects.

STV Projects Jatropha Biodiesel

The beneficial aspects of Jatropha Curcas as non-edible crop, grown ability on marginal lands, resistance to drought, requires minimal rainfall and lifespan of almost 40 years accomplish it as suitable biodiesel feedstock for the climatic region like Pakistan. S T Ventures, in collaboration with Agribusiness Support Fund (ASF), worked on three R & D Jatropha projects to assess the status and analyze the socio-economic, technical and environmental benefits of Jatropha Curcas cultivation on the marginal lands of Pakistan and small scale biodiesel production in order to cope with energy crisis, promoting rural development and mitigating environmental pollution at both local and global levels. 1. Simple and Cost Effective Jatropha Cultivation Techniques 2. Lab-Scale Biodiesel Production from Jatropha Curcas 3. Fabricating 100L Prototype Biodiesel Pilot plant using both Indigenous NaOH Technology and Nanotechnology S T Ventures (STV) cultivated Jatropha Curcas to establish simple, cost effective and workable Jatropha cultivation techniques keeping in view the climatic conditions of the country. Draft of a booklet titled “Simple, Cost Effective and Workable Jatropha Plantation Techniques” covering the guidelines for the farmers and other individuals/ agencies interested in planting Jatropha in Pakistan has been completed and presently going through the process of vetting. In another R & D project, STV-NUST conducted a research on efficient and economic extraction of Jatropha Oil and also focused on optimizing operational parameters by studying the impacts of use of different catalysts at lab scale. Based on these established operational parameters, fabrication of 150L prototype biodiesel pilot plant, in collaboration with School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering (SMME), is underway as a third project. The prototype technology established by ST VenturesSMME under Jatropha biodiesel initiative will be available

www.nust.edu.pk

for small/ medium enterprises/investors to replicate it in joint ventures to support local individual producers, community-based activists and investors of the private sectors.

New Initiatives a. Establishment of Offices of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC)

Being a comprehensive research-led university with the focus on technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, NUST has devoted significant attention to R&D and its commercialization. The University established a Directorate of R&D with an aim to foster a research culture at NUST which caters to the national needs. Over the recent past, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) has been urging universities to play their imperative role towards the economic development of the country. In this context in January 2011, NUST received guidelines from HEC for forming Offices of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC). While some of the essential components for the establishment of ORIC were already functional at NUST, a need was felt to reorganize the existing setup exactly in line with HEC requirements. To start with, the R&D Directorate was renamed Research Directorate and subsequently another Directorate of Innovation and Commercialization (I&C) was created. By combining these two directorates, ORIC at NUST was established so that an ecosystem for innovation centric R&D and its commercialization could be nurtured at the University. The setup is housed under one roof in NUST Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE). In 2011, the Technology Transfer Office successfully drafted a comprehensive Research Innovation and Commercialization Policy in which the existing Research Policy was updated and seamlessly integrated with our Commercialization and Innovation Policy. The Policy includes work flow, forms, processes and procedures for RIC. It has been reviewed by experts and was approved in the 35th Academic Council Meeting held in March 2012. NUST organized an ORIC Training Course in collaboration with HEC and the British Council in December 2011. Representatives of 14 Pakistani Universities took part in the training course intended for the Directors and Managers of the participant universities. I&C Directorate NUST played the lead role in content development, delivery and event planning and management.

b. NUSTinnopedia

NUSTinnopedia is a comprehensive, state-of-the-art information flow and knowledge management system. This web enabled system is designed with a focus on information flow and information processing needs of all stakeholders associated with R&D, its financial support and

commercialization. A demonstration of NUSTinnopedia was given during the 12th Executive Committee Meeting (ECM) of NUST held on 29th November, 2011. The system will have up-to-date, comprehensive and consistent information regarding all R&D, innovation and commercialization related activities and resources at NUST. This includes resumes of all faculty members, published research, R&D projects, and physical infrastructure including laboratories for R&D etc. Information related to industrial problems and funding opportunities will also be made available to all stakeholders. Using state-of-the-art search engines, matching between industrial problems, researchers and developers and funding opportunities will be performed. Results of this search will be forwarded to relevant stakeholders automatically. The web portal is almost complete and has entered into final phase of data compilation.

Technology Incubation Centre Located in Centre for innovation Entrepreneurship (CIE) building, Technology Incubation Centre (TIC) is an integral part of NUST R&D ecosystem. It ensures continuity of innovation in the University. The Centre provides a supportive and nurturing environment to start-up companies especially those established by NUST faculty and students and help them transform into commercially viable enterprises. These facilities are also open to the general public provided they can either leverage NUST knowledge base or contribute to it.

in line with Telecommunication Industry Association TIA-942 tier-2 international standards including raised flooring, redundant HVAC precision units, fire detection, alarm & suppression system, precision UPS & power system, CCTV and access control system for remote monitoring. MDC is acting as hub for dissemination of LAN, Internet, IP-telephony, IP-Fax and Web Services, Server Farm (including Domain Controllers, Backup, Proxy, Email, Web, Network Management, Electronic Bulletin Board, NUST ERP and many more), Video Conferencing and other related services to the entire H-12 Sector users. Compared to 2010, more hardware has been added in MDC in 2011 including additional racks housing additional hardware and servers for provisioning of Wireless LAN Controller, Fax Server, Multi-Conferencing Unit (MCU), and large LCD for network monitoring.

b. Campus Network Infrastructure: Network

Campus network in is based on n-tier architecture which includes security, core, distribution and access layers. The backbone comprises three upper layers i.e. security, core and distribution as well as primary & backup fiber optic links to server rooms of schools/ institutes. This is a hub-and-spoke architecture using routing and switching. Chassis-based core and distribution switches, firewalls and routers with high transmission rate ranging from 01 to 10 Gbps are commissioned. It is pertinent to mention here that device and link redundancy has been maintained at every level to ensure un-interrupted ICT services to users. Gigabit Access Network has also been commissioned to ensure high-speed computing at user level. Access switches of high switching capacity are installed to handle data and multimedia traffic, efficiently. Redundant fiber optic links from each access switch to primary & secondary distribution switches are available for reliable layer-3 connectivity to each LAN user. Switch to user connectivity is provided through top-of-the-line Gigabit Screen Shielded Twisted Pair (S/STP) copper cabling. In order to monitor and manage the whole network, proprietary Network Management Systems (NMS) are being used. Key features of these NMS include but not limited to configuration, fault, accounting, performance and security management of the whole network. During year 2011 up-time of network remained 99.99% as shown in snapshot taken from NMS. In 2011 substantial expansion in campus network was carried out in comparison to 2010 by extending Optical Fiber Connectivity to Main Data Centre and installation of Local Area Network for NUST Main Office, Faculty Cafeteria, Ayesha Hostel, Concordia-II, Attar Hostel B-1, Razi Hostel B-2, CAMP and NICE.

Learning Management Solution During the past decade, we have seen the world progressively shrinking into a global community. The planet is becoming smaller day by day as internet has become the medium for staying connected. It has turned out to be a huge source of information and education where technology is the chief driver that is creating a new educational platform and is reconfiguring the way a student learns. Education through the use of information & communication technology is paving the way for a new era of learning all over the world. Intrigued by these breathtaking developments, NUST has taken a step forward to promote learning through the use of information technology. Learning Management System is a software application engineered to enhance classroom learning environment. It optimally balances short-term needs versus long-term requirements within an educational institution by automating administration of planning, delivering, documenting, managing, tracking and reporting all learning events. This is an easy to use application, specifically customized keeping in view the exposure of our teachers and students to computerized educational means. Since the majority of teachers in Pakistan are long accustomed to conventional methods of imparting education, NUST LMS has made it convenient for teachers to create and manage training courses for students in a significantly user-friendly manner. NUST planned and implemented LMS initially at one of its schools i.e. SEECS (School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science). Soon after its first deployment, Students and teachers both felt that the system had actually made life easier as things began to improve with learner-centric, easily accessible and lightweight interface of LMS. Being impressed by the Â from the successful experience, NUST management decided to expand the scope of LMS project to more benefits achieved schools. Two years down the road, NUST LMS has reached the milestone of 5131 students and 466 faculty members as the active users of the system.

CHAPTER 09

Serving the Community

National University of Sciences and Technology has always taken concrete initiatives in transfusing noblest virtues of compassion and philanthropy among its students. The multi-faceted scope of NUST community service gives a tinge of diversity to its globalized vision. The curricula is carefully designed on ethics and morality so that scholars transcend themselves as humans and think of collective moral good to help address national needs. NUSTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compassionate faculty leads from the front in rendering community services to the downtrodden, thus setting precedents for students to volunteer themselves for the common well being. The University urges its students to see philanthropy with a different perspective considering it as an act of mutual evolution. With a view to making consolidated and well-orchestrated efforts towards helping the needy, NUST has also established a community service club, which extends membership to students, faculty and staff. All the profit generated through events organized under NCSC is used for conducting welfare activities. NUST undertook a series of community service projects/activities in the year 2011; only some more significant ones are highlighted:

1. Conferences and Workshops: a. International Workshop on Technological Advances and Challenges in Water Reclamation & Reuse

In the wake of rapid urbanization and industrialization, pollution and scarcity of water resources are now becoming more serious concerns than ever. To increase sustainability, water must be used efficiently and at multiple times by cascading from higher to lower quality needs. This emerging paradigm requires establishing autonomous and decentralized water recycling systems in which diverse water resources are created, conserved and utilized effectively. This was the crux of a two-day International Workshop on Technological Advances & Challenges in Water Reclamation & Reuse concluded here at School of Civil and Environmental Engineering (SCEE NUST) on Dec 9, 2011. Eminent scholars from within and outside the country attended the event. Dr Samar Mubarakmand graced the occasion as the chief guest at the inaugural session of the workshop. The speakers stressed the need for reusing water multiple times to address water woes of the country.

b. Strategic Strengthening of Flood Warning and Management Capacity of Pakistan

As a key component of the UNESCO Project: Strategic Strengthening of Flood Warning and Management Capacity of Pakistan, the first international training workshop for Stakeholders Capacity Building in Flood Warning and Management was held at NUST on Dec 20. The University held the four-day event in collaboration with United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA); Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD); Pakistan Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and other partner organizations. The training workshop was a follow-up of the two previously held international workshops on flood management at NUST. One of the key objectives of the workshop was to compile all the available Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) of various organizations, in the form of workshop workbook, for dissemination of warnings as well as for the management of floods.

c. International Workshop on Safety Management and OSHA Standards

School of Civil and Environmental Engineering-NUST, under a joint Pak-US research programme, organized International Workshop on Safety Management and OSHA Standards in collaboration with Higher Education Commission (HEC). Eminent scholars participated in the workshop held on July 27 at the main campus of the University. Speaking at the occasion, Dr. Javaid Laghari said that due to lack of safety measures in place, workers at construction sites were often exposed to health hazards and injuries. He warned that the scenario was even worse when it came to safety management at work places in Pakistan. Every day, he maintained, hundreds of labourers fall prey to mismanagement in the implementation of safety laws. The workshop aimed at providing construction managers, professional engineers and practitioners understanding of theory pertaining to safety management and OSHA standards representing best practices to make construction sites safer.

d. Policy Dialogue: Pakistan-from Food Bowl to Dust Bowl

Against the backdrop of population explosion, deforestation and industrial mobilisation, Pakistan is experiencing an acute water stress. Consequent upon it, lest we fail to adopt requisite remedies, the delayed efforts may hit a snag in confronting an anticipated challenge in the form of unprecedented water scarcity. Rector NUST Engr Muhammad Asghar said so during the inaugural session of a policy dialogue on Pakistan from Food Bowl to Dust Bowl. He made a strong case for raising awareness among media and policy stakeholders regarding two silent tsunamis of water shortage and food shortage that can potentially harm the future of the country. Organised by NUST School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (SCEE) in collaboration with UNESCO on June 20, the policy briefing was a follow-up of the three-day international workshop on Education for Managing Hydrological Extremes and Related Geohazards held at NUST from January 24 to 26. The speakers termed the event a great success as it held promise in finding means to address looming water scarcity issue. The daylong policy dialogue was also attended by representatives from different government departments including Planning Commission and Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.

e. Workshop on Emerging Trends and the Role of Standards in Future Healthcare Systems

‘Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has the potential to improve quality and efficiency of healthcare in Pakistan. Health Level Seven International (HL7) is playing a key role in promoting the use of ICT as a global authority on standards of inter operability in health systems.’ This was observed in a one-day workshop on Emerging Trends and the Role of Standards in Future Healthcare Systems held at NUST on June 21. NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (SEECS) organised the event. The focus of the workshop was on practical needs of the healthcare industry and to create awareness on healthcare standards through open participation in global HL7 community.

f. International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology

“Pakistan is located on a seismically active zone and high earthquake risk is evident from the fact that a large proportion of its land is susceptible to moderate to high intensity tremors. Preventing earthquakes from occurrence surely is a false conception but impact of such natural calamities can be reduced to minimal in case certain preemptive measures are adopted following the international standards.” This was the crux of presentations given during the International Conference on Earthquake Engineering and Seismology organised by the NUST Institute of

68 NUST ANNUAL REPORT 2011

Civil Engineering (NICE), in collaboration with the Higher Education Commission (HEC) and Pakistan Science Foundation from April 25 to 26. The conference intended to bridge the gap between the developed and the developing countries towards addressing issues related to earthquakes. The earthquake of October 2005 had brought unprecedented destruction to Kashmir and neighbouring regions. In order to prevent any possible secondary hazards derived from earthquake as well as to propose structural retrofitting and rebuilding methods, NUST invited experts from across the world.

g. International Conference on Flood Management

The natural calamity of biblical proportions that hit the country in the shape of flood during the year 2010 broke all the previous records as a vast area across the country was inundated with a major loss both in terms of life and property. NUST, in collaboration with HEC, organised a two-day international conference titled “Floods 2010: A Dialogue to Transform Devastation to Opportunity”. By holding this conference, NUST took an initiative towards providing a platform whereby the government and other stakeholders utilise collective wisdom in devising strategies to minimise the damages in the wake of future recurrent floods. Rector NUST, in his address during the conference, said that the unprecedented flood of 2010 had afflicted major population of the country, adding that the large-scale devastation should serve as a stimulus for us and be treated as an opportunity by gearing up efforts to confront any such disaster in the future.

2. Construction Projects a. Construction of Girls School for Flood-affected Villages in Darya Khan (Bhakkar)

NUST has the tradition of utilising resources for the establishment of schools and colleges in the neglected areas. In this connection, a school for girls has been constructed in Darya Khan, Bhakkar. The lack of learning facilities for girls in Basti Awan was conspicuous by the absence of any educational institution for them in the area. A survey carried out in this connection revealed that most among the women folk did not know anything beyond 1st Kalma. The local population is very eager to educate the girls and deserve care and attention. With the provision of four kanal land by the locals, NUST constructed a school in Basti Awan. Initially, the school has two classrooms for girls and a room for ladies vocational centre and a staffroom with the capacity to expand subsequently. At this stage, three teachers and a caretaker are employed along with the provision of necessary books and stationery. One teacher is assigned to look after the vocational centre in the evening. An amount of Rs 2.15 million had been allocated for the project. A Board of Directors comprising notables from the area with Director Admin NUST as its chairman looks after the administrative affairs of the school.

b. Renovation of School in Rawalpindi

Development of schools in urban areas has become a gigantic task; let alone education-related issues in villages. It is a great pity that even in big cities the condition of schools is deplorable. Construction of new schools and rehabilitation of old ones remain at the core of NUST community service projects. In a recently completed project, Government Pehlvi High School, Rawalpindi was renovated and upgraded by NUST authorities. A survey had brought to light the school’s dilapidated condition speaking volumes of apathy on part of its management. When NUST team visited the school for the first time, it was giving a look of a dumping yard as every inch of the floor was littered with waste. The walls had many crevices in them while the broken windows made the building look like an archaeological site. Needless to say, the furniture was mostly broken; stationary and other basic facilities were insufficient. The need to rehabilitate the school was felt at NUST whereby it was decided to renovate the building. In the first phase, heaps of garbage were removed and then the necessary construction work was started. Subsequently, the furniture was repaired, water coolers were installed and the rooms were furnished with electric appliances like ceiling fans and

www.nust.edu.pk

tubelights. The residents of the locality are pleased with the work NUST has done and have expressed their gratitude for providing their children a more congenial school environment. They were hopeful that their children would enjoy learning in the renovated school and work hard to become useful citizens.

3. NUST Initiatives for Clean Water in Pakistan NUST has undertaken many initiatives for ensuring supply of clean water in Pakistan. These include site survey of 544 sub districts of Pakistan for installing water filtration plants throughout the country, low cost on-site treatment of wastewater of Nullah Leh in Rawalpindi, monitoring of microbial contaminants and residual chlorine in water distribution network of Rawalpindi and Islamabad for optimization of chlorination dosage, study for building Combined Effluent Treatment Plant for textile industry in Faisalabad to treat the wastewater laden with pathogenic micro-organisms and toxic chemicals, characterization and treatment of high turbidity surface water in Chakwal, developing Membrane Bioreactor Technology to resolve water scarcity problem through reclamation and reuse of wastewater from a Sewage Treatment Plant and developing an Arsenic Removal Two-Stage Filter using titanium oxide nano-particles. NUST Pakistan and Solar Energy International (SEI) USA have also jointly worked on providing solar pumping systems for drinking water supply in six villages of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) as a pilot project. Water pumping systems of different configurations were installed in these villages, either on spring water sources or on the dug wells and were operated using solar power systems. The pumped water is stored in a cemented storage tank in each village.

NUST Community Service Club (NCSC) Philanthropic consciousness among Nustians has been the guiding force in the creation of NUST Community Service Club. In fact, the initiation is a manifestation of humanitarian spirit much needed for addressing various core issues of national or social importance. The society extends membership to students, faculty, staff and other members of NUST community. The active participation of all segments within NUST has yielded good result in various community service initiatives. The Society enjoys full support of the administration that facilitates it in many ways.

CHAPTER 10

Universities Building Leadership

Student Leadership In his book ‘The Art of the Leader’, W Cohan defines leadership as “an art of influencing others to their maximum performance to accomplish any task, objective or project.” Leadership basically is an amalgam of certain traits which helps a person influence a group of individuals to achieve a common objective. These can be summed up as ambition, confidence, charisma, empathy, creativity, valour, good attitude, cooperation, vision, and self-discipline. Seeking self-improvement means continually strengthening one’s own attributes. For a student, this can be achieved through self-study, formal classes, interaction with others and participation in extra-/co-curricular activities. It is heartening to note that universities now have their primary focus on producing ethical leaders towards national development. A university graduate takes pains in acquiring knowledge of his respective discipline/area of study through hard labour and thus turns out to be a potential expert/consultant to promote the cause of the organization he works for. He can be an invaluable asset for his employer/enterprise provided his academic excellence is supplemented with other activities that complement education. At NUST, the conduct of extra-/co-curricular activities, observed in tandem with the Institute’s curriculum and have a yearly schedule, gives impetus to shaping a wholesome educational environment for students. Working under the auspices of Student Affairs Directorate, NUST’s various clubs and societies engage students in such endeavours that permeate leadership attributes among them. These activities create a profound impact on students’ personalities by invoking their primal instinct to take on challenges at will and allowing them opportunities to handle situations. Furthermore, accolades received by students encourage them to aspire for even better performances. Following are the lists of various competitions and events, held within or outside NUST, in which Nustians showed their active participation:

Office of Resource Generation/Development

Initiatives and Implementation Implementation during the FY 201011: During the Financial Year 2010-11 three projects were nearing completion. The first two projects i.e. Establishment of Information Technology & Management Sciences, & Telecommunication Institutes at Islamabad – Phase-I and Establishment of Headquarters NUST and Hi-Tech Postgraduate Science and Technology Institutes at Islamabad – Phase-I have been delayed due to non-release of funds. However, major work including Civil Works of both the projects which is almost 50% of total cost of the projects, have been completed. These projects were expected to be completed in September 2011 but will now be completed in June 2013. The third project “PERN Network Performance Monitoring and Event Diagnosis (NUST)” is at final stage and will be completed by December 2012.

Future Plans Future Plan for Resource Generation a. Efforts were made for approval of number of projects from HEC, however, during year 2011 following projects were approved:1. Establishment of Grid Station at Sector H-12, Islamabad for NUST – Rs. 408.970 M 2. Establishment of NUST Teaching Hospital and School of Health Sciences at Sector H-12, Islamabad – Rs. 6703.712 M b. Keeping in view the financial crunch prevailing in the country, NUST is developing projects which will be jointly funded through Public Private Partnership (PPP). These include:1. Residential accommodation for faculty and staff 2. Establishment of a Smart School at NUST

Future Plans of Development NUST new Camps is being developed in a phased manner. Following are the phases of development of NUST new campus:

a. Development of NUST New Campus Sector H-12, Islamabad (Phase-I) As per our Charter, the Principal seat of the university was required to be established in Islamabad. In order to meet

legal and functional requirements of the university, a new, modern and technology smart campus of NUST has been established at Islamabad. The establishment of NUST new campus was approved in 2002 with implementation period spread over 9 years; we are currently in the 10th year of our implementation plan. The project will now be completed in 2013 essentially due to slow release of funds by the Government. We shifted here in Nov 2008 while the campus development work was still in progress. Five major schools and four centres/institutes are fully functional at this campus. As per the NUST Master Plan, following facilities have been completed and institutes are functional:• School of Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (SEECS) • NUST Business School (NBS) • School of Chemical & Materials Engineering (SCME) • School of Civil & Environmental Engineering (SCEE) • School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering (SMME) • Atta-ur-Rahman School of Applied Biosciences (ASAB) • Centre for Advanced Mathematics and Physics (CAMP) • Research Centre for Modeling & Simulation (RCMS) • School of Art Design and Architecture (SADA) • NUST Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (NIPCONS) • Centre for Energy Systems (CES) • NUST Institute of Leadership in Education (NILE)

b. Phase-II of NUST Development

Govt of Pakistan has approved the establishment of Grid Station to meet the power requirements of the University. Additionally, establishment of NUST Teaching Hospital at NUST Campus has also been approved. It will be a 500 bed teaching hospital with a medical college, school of nursing, school of paramedics and school of pharmacy. It is planned to provide quality education and healthcare to the people of Pakistan. The project is expected to start in year 2013 and will take four years to be completed by 2017.

c. Phase-III of NUST Development It includes NUST Science and Technology Park (NSTP), additional schools, consolidation, upgradation of Academic & Research Institutes and simultaneous activities for HR Development. The NSTP will promote interaction between institutions i.e. Universities, research parks, large companies, venture funds etc and non institutional elements i.e. talent, bodies of knowledge and virtual communities to create job opportunities for the youth and link local assets to global and domestic markets generating value. NUST envisions providing stimulus to catalyze economic activity in the

www.nust.edu.pk

country and developing a unique Knowledge Based MultiIndustry Cluster including segments of the IT& Telecom, Engineering, Biotech/Bio.Pharm, Banking/Financial Services, Defense Technologies, Power and Automotive Industries. The expected output of the collaboration and synergies within the NSTP should provide:• Technology enhancement nationally. • Development of efficient systems in both Public and Private Sector. • Resolve (or assist in solution i.e. diagnosis) the issues of the Industry via R & D. • Production of goods and services (creating value addition) that compete at global level beneficial to the national economy. • The University’s underlying purpose for NSTP goes a significant step beyond the fairly usual concept of developing an elite business complex. Instead, the need for providing a commerce and research driven exchange between academia and industry is stressed. The means to achieve this given the above goals can be visualized through the following objectives: • Commercialization of research, both in terms of focusing the University’s endeavors towards commercially feasible areas of study as well as minimizing the transition period between technological innovation and its commercial deployment. • Presenting the University and Pakistani Industry to the

•

• •

•

international community as a significant player in highend research and innovation. Providing a strong point of presence for major international companies and enterprises thereby channeling world-class technology and practice into local and regional businesses. Providing incubator programmes to promote emerging small-businesses and enterprises with the required technical, financial and administrative support. Utilizing industrial presence for the benefit of students and faculty members, thereby providing significant real-world exposure that will enhance their academic performance. Generating employment opportunities for students during their course of study and upon graduation.

NUST is also endeavouring to obtain approval of following development projects from HEC that are planned to be executed from FY 2012-13 to 2014-15 (if approved):• • • •

Establishment of Manufacturing Resource Center at NUST Internal Development of Land in Sector H-12 for NUST – Phase-V Establishment of Sports Facilities at NUST Strengthening of Schools/Colleges of NUST
