Message from the Rector The Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) Instute was founded 25 years ago. The Provincial (NWFP, now KP) Government promulgated its ordinance in March 1993. Over the past 25 years, GIK has established itself as one of the leading instuons of higher learning and has consistently been ranked as the number one private-sector engineering university in Pakistan by the Higher Educaon Commission (HEC). The credit for this goes to the Instute's Founding Fathers and all those who have succeeded them year aer year. We are also grateful to our Board of Governors, for their support and advice in helping GIK stand out as a pioneering school of engineering and technology.

Growth in the enrollment of students at GIK has been consistent since 2000, and the year 2018-2019 was no excepon. The rising number of students means the Instute must provide adequate infra-structure for its faculty, staﬀ and students, and maintain an appropriate student to teacher rao, all while maintaining high standards of educaon and research. In 2018-19 construcon of new academic and residenal facilies was iniated to cater to the growing demand of the self-contained campus. The establishment of GIK's Incubaon Centre, the Catalyst, was also completed in 2018, adding value to the Instute as an innovaon hub.

To impart quality educaon to our students, GIK has always recruited top academicians as course instructors – about 76 percent of our faculty members have degrees from highly reputable universies from across the world. The recruitment of accomplished professionals, however, is only one integral element that defines GIK's reputaon. Our management gives crical importance to ensuring programs of study are designed to encourage outcome based and lifelong learning. One recent example of GIK producing influenal leaders is that of Mr. Usman Iikhar, who was awarded the Commonwealth Young Person of the Year Award. The Instute connues to monitor the efficacy of her programs by making improvements to its Outcome Based Educaon (OBE) Assessment System.

The Instute has been collaborang with local and internaonal universies, notably from Turkey, China, South Africa and the USA, to expand the scope of research produced by the Instute, facilitate exchange programs and establish new lab facilies. Huawei established its “Huawei Authorized Informaon and Network Academy” (HAINA) on campus.

The GIK admissions process is enrely based on merit. Although a not-for-profit instuon, the Instute grants scholarships or financial assistance to about one-third of its new intake, both from its resources and with the help of many philanthropists, partners, alumni, companies and Federal and Provincial governments - we are thankful to them all for their financial contribuons. The Instute itself dedicated 77 million rupees for its undergraduate programs and 127 million rupees for its postgraduate programs in 2018-19.

I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedicaon of our outstanding faculty, and all other employees, because of whom the Instute has been able to sustain its exceponal reputaon.

Engr. Jehangir Bashar

Message from the Pro-Rector (Academics) GIK is an instute which is a growing hub for excellence in the ﬁeld of engineering, sciences, and technology. It is commied to encouraging the latest in innovave methods for engaging with the ﬁeld of engineering and incorporang it into the lives of her students, parcularly in today's age of budding technology. For the past 25 years, the mission of the GIK Instute has been to deliver quality educaon to young minds and develop leaders with the skills necessary to respond to socio-economic and engineering challenges.

The degree programs and courses that we oﬀer are at par with the best universies around the world, parcularly those hailing from Washington Accord (WA) signatory countries. Our terminal system of educaon not only ensures a well-planned schedule but rounded educaon that engineers working in the challenging world of today will ﬁnd pernent to diverse, muldisciplinary working environments. It also embellishes the exquisiteness of the OBE (Outcome Based Educaon) system.

GIK is ranked number 24thout of 453 universies across the world (top posion among all Pakistani universies) on Quality Educaon by Times Higher Educaon (THE) under the University Impact Ranking in Relaon to UN Sustainable Development Goals. Quality Educaon is one of the 17thSustainable Development Goals (SD's) of the United Naons (UN). This SDG ensures inclusive and equitable quality educaon and promotes lifelong learning opportunies for all. The ranking awarded to GIK was done so aer carrying out a mulvariate analysis pernent to GIK's strength and ability in providing quality educaon. The Times Higher Educaon evaluated the University's commitment to inclusive educaon and focus on lifelong learning opportunies to people who are not directly members of the GIK community.

Addionally, keeping the status of Pakistan as a country with a great need for a workforce of trained and highly educated professionals, the GIK Instute aims to give equal opportunity to all who would seek to knock at the doors of enlightenment. This is in line with a recent report by the World Bank and Elsevier (South Asia: Challenges and beneﬁts of research collaboraon in a diverse region) and the UN's target to encourage more students to enroll in technical, engineering and scienﬁc programs in developing countries.

The Instute engages in a number of educaonal outreach acvies with the local community and offers free access to its library to the general public. It has also remained persistent in awarding scholarships and financial aid to deserving students, enabling many to become the first in their families to pursue higher educaon. Extracurricular acvies including sports and student sociees provide the students with a healthy, producve real-world experience that imparts in them not only managerial skills but a glimpse into the corporate world. Educaon, and parcularly those who seek to impart it must never presume so much as to be ignorant of their sacred duty. And it is thus so, that I sincerely hope that eager young minds will gain much warmth from this flame of enlightenment that was lit in 1993.

With hope and prayers

Prof. Dr. Jameel-Un Nabi

Professor of Law Dr. Shaheen Sardar Ali delivers a talk at GIK

Teaching and Learning Islamic Law in Contemporary Times: Some Reﬂections on Adopting a Contextual and Research-led Approach

The GIK Institute has introduced a new seminar series. The seminars are meant to provide a platform to GIK students and faculty to engage in constructive dialogue with experts in fields other than those taught formally in the Institute, such as international relations, the economy, law, environment, human rights and gender studies.The first lecture of the new seminar series was led by renowned lawyer and scholar, Dr. Shaheen Sardar Ali. Dr. Ali is a Professor of Law at University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, the first female Law Professor in Pakistan and one of the 100 most influential Pakistani women. She has formerly served as a Professor of Law at the University of Oslo (Norway) and University of Peshawar, and as a Vice-Chair of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (2008 – 2014).

Dr. Ali’s talk focused on years of experience spent developing a contextual and research-led methodology to teach Islamic Law in a globalizing world. She shed light on the importance of critical engagement with history in research and the adoption of pedagogical practices that inspire students to innovate. To explain how contextual analysis affects research, she used examples of Quranic injunctions that have been interpreted differently in the Middle East, Maghreb and South Asia, simply because of differences in how they were analyzed.

Dr. Ali urged the engineers and scientists in the audience to adopt bolder practices in teaching or research if they are to make advancements in their respective areas of study. Pointing to the well-known story of Isaac Newton and his observation of the falling apple, she encouraged taking a deeper look at how scientiﬁc theories and laws are derived, questioning even notions deemed incontestable for decades. Her lecture was followed by a question and answer session with the audience. Her opinion was sought on matters ranging from marital rights to the Islamic solution for currency devaluation. viii.

Quality Assurance

3.1 Quality Enhancement Cell The Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC) was established on 20th February 2008 at Rector Secretariat in the H.U. Beg Administration Building of the Institute. QEC is responsible for undertaking various assignments to create

awareness, impart training, and carry out multiple tasks for Quality Assurance in teaching and education.

3.2 GIK Institute Ranked 24th in the world on Quality Education related to UN sustainable development goals (SDGs)

The Ghulam Isha q Khan (GIK) Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology was ranked number 24 out of 457 universities across the world (top position amongst all Pakistani universities) on Q uality Education by Times Higher Education (THE) under the University Impact Ranking in relation to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The GIK Institute ranked 201–300 in the overall T HE University Impact Ranking 2019 worldwide and is amongst the top 3 universities in Pakistan on the same ranking. Quality Education is one of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN). This SDG ensures inclusive and equitable quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for all. For the past 25 years, the mission of the GIK Institute has been to impart quality education and develop leaders with the skills necessary to respond to socio- economic challenges. The collective eﬀorts of its founders, management, faculty and alumni have proven fruitful since the Institute has outcompeted many renowned international universities. A number

of criteria [iv] were considered to measure GIK’s strength in providing quality education. The Times Higher

Education evaluated the University’s commitment to inclusive education and focus on lifelong learning opportunities to people who are not directly members of the GIK. The Institute, indeed, engages in several educational outreach activities with the local community of Topi and oﬀers free access to its library to the general public. It has also remained persistent in awarding scholarships to deserving students from low-income families, enabling many to become the ﬁrst in their families to pursue higher education.

Plagiarism Policy GIK Institute is committed to establishing and sustaining a transparent, as well as creative, academic environment, for quality, meaningful and original output to the academia. The Institute shares its vision of academic integrity and authenticity with the Higher Education Commission (HEC), which has formulated policy guidelines on Plagiarism. This policy broadly documents possible steps to combat plagiarism in academia, thus reinforcing and promoting the culture of academic integrity and originality. These steps are taken to ensure compliance of research work and publications produced in Pakistan, with international standards and quality. The HEC reinforces and provides the use of Turnitin software, for checking plagiarism. In order to address the issues, as observed in application of HEC's policy and use of Turnitin at GIK Institute, the policy is a comprehensive set of rules (along with TORs of plagiarism committee) to be implemented by all programs and publications of the Institute. These are devised in accordance with HEC's policy in order to address the issues raised by instructors and students/researchers alike. 60

As a developing country with exponential growth in population, Pakistan faces the challenge of educating an ever- increasing number of youth. Instead of restricting access to its educational resources, GIK has created an environment that makes it easy for the public to learn from the professionals it employs and graduates it produces. The outlook of the Institute towards transferring scientific knowledge without discrimination appears to be in line with a recent report by the World Bank and Elsevier [v] (South Asia: Challenges and benefits of research collaboration in a diverse region) and the UN’s target to encourage more students to enroll in technical, engineering and scientific programs in developing countries. The GIK Institute endeavors to have a greater impact on its community in the years to come. Easy access to educational resources and applied research produced by GIK faculty and students is intended to help communities find simple solutions to complex social, environmental and economic problems.

4.8 Sexual Harassment Policy Government of Pakistan has promulgated the Act titled, "Protection against Harassment of Women at the workplace Act, 2010.” to provide a safe and secure working environment to the working women in the public and private sector. The intention is to provide an opportunity for all organizations, institutions, public, private and civil society to develop a self-regulatory mechanism whereby organizations/institutions could handle the problems related to sexual harassment internally.

The Institute believes in fostering safe and secure working environment free from intimidation, speciﬁcally for working women and female students, and has, therefore, adopted a Code of Conduct and constituted a Harassment Complaint Cell in the Institute. In line with this, a sexual harassment policy has since been ﬁnalized and will be implemented during upcoming year. 74

6.3 Literary and Debating Society Conducts Philosophy Club LDS conducted its ﬁrst Philosophy Club for the Fall 2018 semester. The topic under discussion was Corruption of a Kid. GIK students Jarrar-ul Hassan, Alamgir Khan, and Muhammad Ehsaan spoke in front of the people who had gathered. Candle lighting added a mesmerizing aura which further dramatized the talks.

6.4 SOPHEP conducted GIMUN 19 In this modern day and age, engineers and scientists are not isolated from the management of the ﬁrms they work in. As a matter of fact, they themselves can become senior managers later. For this reason, companies are perpetually on the look- out for people with solid communication skills. The implication for students is that besides studying hard, they must strive to develop solid presentation and communication skills as well. One of the major problems facing today's Pakistani students is the lack of interaction between the Pakistan's academic and professional communities. As a result, young undergraduates lack needed knowledge of the professional world and companies remain unaware of the great potential of these future workers. In this regard, SOPHEP bridges the gap among these two vital communities. SOPHEP holds workshops that are conducted by successful GIK alumni that help students to reﬁne their people-skills and professional grooming.

6.5 Science Symposium

GIK Science Symposium is held annually at the Institute. It provides opportunities to students to nurture their scientific talents. It arranges video shows on contemporary developments in various scientific fields. It encourages and financially backs scientific projects undertaken by students on their own initiative. It provides a forum where students and teachers can get together to exchange ideas and information on scientific topics beyond the confines of the formal curricula.
