Naveed Electromagnetic EL221 NA Iqbal Systems Lab 1. Students in a semester system are overloading with assignments and projects. Thus I have resorted to a manageable load of 6 assignments for a course. 2. The pre- university education system encourages students to cram solutions and reproduce verbatim in exam. This makes the student develop poor study habits. 3. There is no point in teaching if the teaching does not focus on concepts and examinations are not unseen. For the upheaval of course Probability and Aamer quality I focus on both. 4. Based on poor study methods the Random EE319 Munir students do not study at home and always run after slides, Processes written notes and solution manuals to cram their way through the course and pass it. I discourage this practice. 5. When students do not get good grades by not studying properly, they blame the system, teacher and teaching. 6. My main focus is to devise strategies that make the students work at home -- which by its very nature is not an easy job. Students resort to copying and cramming whenever they get a chance.
19 Question 2: Compliance of Courses with HEC guidelines
All the courses being offered in EE department at Islamabad campus are well in line with the HEC guidelines, with those of PEC and also according to the needs of industry. However, very few courses are in the process of being aligned as per HEC guidelines and will be done soon as mentioned by respective faculty members.

Khan Network The course curriculum is suitable in relation to the expected Dr. Babar Electromagn EE305 learning outcomes and is in compliance with the HEC approved Minhas etic Theory curriculum guidelines Linear This is a foundation course for electrical engineering and the Dr. Babar Circuit EE115 course objectives and outline are in compliance with the HEC Minhas Analysis approved revised national curriculum guidelines Advanced Dr. Farhan The course curriculum is in line with the intended learning Probability EE545 Khalid outcomes Theory Dr. Farhan Advanced The course curriculum is in line with the intended learning EE506 Khalid DSP outcomes The course started with a quick revision of the relevant concepts on modelling and control which students must know from their Advanced Dr. Jamshed under-graduate studies. Focus of teaching the course with Control EE532 Iqbal practical real-world applications was truly influential. Moreover, Systems activities of research papers and research projects further strengthened the learning outcomes for Master students. As an Introductory course on Robotics, the theory provided concrete foundations on “robot modeling and analysis” while Dr. Jamshed Introduction associated lab. offered students an opportunity to practically EE424 Iqbal to Robotics grasp “robot design and implementation”. Thus, following a ‘learning by doing’ approach, the curriculum fits with HEC/PEC guidelines As an Introductory course on Control Systems, the theory provided concrete foundations on “modeling and Feedback analysis/design” while associated lab. offered students an Dr. Jamshed Control EE304 opportunity to practically grasp the related concepts. The book, Iqbal Systems though is a bit difficult for an Under-graduate student, gives true Lab feelings of Control systems. Thus, following a ‘learning by doing’ approach, the curriculum fits with HEC/PEC guidelines. The course curriculum is 95% in alignment with HEC approved national curriculum guidelines. The extra topic of ‘Introduction to Rashid Karim ECD EE224 digital electronics design’ has been added as it is important and future semester courses do not cover it
The course curriculum is 95% in alignment with HEC approved Rashid Karim CAD EE322 national curriculum guidelines. The contents are well synchronized with course outcomes
The course curriculum is 95% in alignment with HEC approved national curriculum guidelines. The missing topic ‘analog IC Rashid Karim VLSI EE309 design basics’ has been replaced with ‘low power VLSI circuit design techniques’ which is very important research area in modern VLSI designs.
23 Introduction Curriculum was developed according to the PEC/HEC Raza ur to EE116 guidelines. It is being reviewed annually for Raheem Computing improvement/compliance
Ahmed Yes, there was good relation between course objectives and DLD Lab EL227 Abdullah HEC approved
Power Muhammad System The course is a graduate level course. The HEC NCRC does EE529 Atif Saleem Modeling & not provide guidelines for graduate level courses Analysis Electromagn Course objectives are well defined and Lab is conducted Naveed Iqbal etic Systems EL221 according to course content Lab The HEC curriculum (Feb 2012), mentions a course "Probability and Random Processes" in the Telecommunication specialization but the curriculum does not mention course objectives/outline. A basic course with the name "Probability Methods in Engineering" given in HEC curriculum is supposed to introduce probability and statistics. However, it does not fulfill Probability the requirements the curriculum unless "Random Variables" are and properly covered. Therefore, the course, I have taught with Aamer Munir EE319 Random emphasis on engineering examples, covers the needs of the EE Processes curriculum and is recommended to be included in the HEC curriculum. Given that the students would study only a single course in probability, the contents of the course cannot encompass "Random Processes". It is therefore recommended that the course be named "Probability and Random Variables", instead of "Probability and Random Processes", since it would be more in line with the learning objectives
24 Question 3: Assessment tools used during semester
Most of the tools used for assessment of students by faculty members are listed below:
1. Quizzes
2. Assignments
3. Projects
4. Sessional
5. Final Exam
In addition to above listed tools, some courses that were based on drawing and design were assessed through practical projects.

Introduction In my opinion two midterm exams, several quizzes and Raza ur Raheem to EE116 programming assignments together with a final exam are quite Computing effective in assessing the learning of the students in this course We were instructed from CS dept. to assess the students only on the basis of lab work, projects and final written exam and Ahmed Abdullah DLD Lab EL227 we did this, but I think quizzes, assignments and final practical performance should also be included in assessment process The formative assessment methods included an ongoing Power project, quizzes and assignments. The commulative Muhammad Atif System EE529 assessment methods included objective type questions, short Saleem Modeling & questions, long questions and problems. These assessment Analysis methods were found to be effective. Electromagn Naveed Iqbal etic Systems EL221 NA Lab The main objective of teaching any course is to enable the students to apply the concepts learnt. By giving problems that are unseen (not covered in the class) I ensure that students are able to apply the concepts taught to them or learnt through Probability examples, assignments and quizzes. Assignments are given Aamer Munir and Random EE319 for the students to test their polished concepts as if they are Processes exam questions. Quizzes, focus on one small concept at a time. To enable them handle real world problems and to apply the concepts of probability to the problems, a project can be given at the end. This time I have not given it to relieve students of end of semester burden

Sara Qazi Business MG324 This course was modified considerably for graduating batch of Ethics FAST Management School in spring 2016. The aim was to provide the students with understanding of moral paradigms within the business context while basing the content on three broad dimensions which were primarily 1) Theories of Business Ethics 2) Corporate Social Responsibility and 3) Corporate Governance inclusive of Moral leadership. During the development of the course it was considered that students must obtain the skills of differentiating between right and wrong especially within a business context therefore the course content incorporated experiential learning of practical business ethics applications while simultaneously advancing their knowledge in concepts/ principles such as morality, values, norms, codes and cultural beliefs. Eventually most of our graduating students do acquire jobs and in the long run they become strategic partners and leaders in organizations therefore it was pertinent to equip the students with decision making frameworks with competencies of providing ethical practical solutions, analyzing whether an act is just or not and to resolve ethical dilemmas both in their professional and personal lives. It is certainly a fact that a person’s moral and ethical disposition usually develops during childhood, adolescence, initial period of youth and day to day leave however this course covered societal factors especially with regards to organizational impact. Subsequently students were also to develop their sense of responsibilities and obligations as members of workforce as well as society through understanding organizational stakeholders, employee rights, role of government, media, marketing, consumer product, economic/ fiscal policies, environment concerns through and corporate social responsibility standards. Students also deliberated contemporary ethical concerns facing businesses, which include components such as moral reasoning/ relativism, law, equity, justice/ fairness and minimum ethical standards. Simultaneously students also developed understanding of traditional philosophies such as Utilitarianism, Kantianism, and Hedonism etc. The aim was also that students develop a moral compass through different perspectives, normative theories and classical concepts. Crucially a main aim of the course was to develop a wholesome workforce with courage, fairness, perseverance to use power, money, and influence others in constructive ways. The basic modifications consisted of introducing more case based discussions to facilitate practical learning of students. Lectures such as Social
49 Responsibility were merged with Universal Standards while newer relevant statistics and facts were added to the lectures.
