PREFACE
The curriculum, with varying definitions, is said to be a plan of teaching-learning
process that students of an academic programs are required to undergo. It includes
the objectives and learning outcomes, course outline, scheme of studies, teaching
methodologies and methods of assessment of learning. Since knowledge in all fields
and sectors is expanding at a faster pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is
imperative that curricula should be dynamic having regular review and updating.
The University Grants Commission (UGC) was the designated authority to develop,
review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vides 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 above
provisions, the HEC has been undertaking the development of curricula for
new/emerging fields and revision of existing curricula after every three years through
respective National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) until 2018.
As a policy change and expanding higher education base under HEC, the curriculum
review and development task has been shifted to the respective regulators and HEIs.
PEC also having mandate under its Act and especially after attaining the Washington
Accord full signatory status and IPEA licensing authority, took up the challenge to
review and develop the curricula for engineering programs based on Outcome-Based
Education (OBE) System. PEC has therefore constituted an Engineering Curriculum
Review and Development Committee (ECRDC) and also subject ECRDCs
comprising the eminent engineers and professionals from academia and industry to
take up the task of curricula review and updating. Nevertheless, the basic templates
developed by HEC NCRCs have been followed as guidelines.

This curriculum document would serve as a guideline whereas allowing HEIs to
tame/change within the framework by introducing courses in support of the
local/required industrial demand as well as satisfying the 12 GAs (Graduate
Attributes) covering core and elective courses, which are considered as beauty of
OBE system in the international environment. At the same time, this curriculum
framework would fulfill our national, social and economic needs leading towards
attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs-2030). It would also provide
the level of competency specified in Pakistan Qualification Framework to make it
compatible with international educational standards.

, 1. Engineering Curriculum Review & Development Committee
(ECRDC)
PEC in its efforts towards quality engineering education, took up the challenge of
curriculum review and development for engineering programs after due consent of
HEC. A high level Engineering Curriculum Review and Development Committee
(ECRDC), led by Prof Engr Dr Fazal Ahmad Khalid, Chairman Punjab HEC/ Vice
Chairman PEC, was constituted whereas other eminent members are from industry
and academia to take up the task of curricula review and updation, besides developing
curriculum for new/ emerging fields. The main responsibility of ECRDC is to oversee
the entire curriculum review and development process while setting policies and
guidelines for the subject ECRDCs working in their respective domains. The 1st
meeting of main ECRDC was held on 29th June, 2018 at PEC HQ, Islamabad,
wherein the Convener briefed the scope, objective and ToRs of the Committee and
also formulated the subject ECRDCs comprising of eminent engineers and
professionals from academia and industry.
