ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 3
Genesis The genesis of the Institute can be traced back to the early 50's when Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan (late) became acutely aware of Pakistan's dependence on foreign expertise and imported technology. Out of his frequent interactions with the foreign and local experts emerged the idea that a centre of excellence in engineering sciences and production technology ought to be established in the country, a centre whose standards of education are comparable to those of its counterparts in the advanced countries. The transformation of this idea into a practical proposition took place in December 1985 when the Benevolent Community Care and Infaq Foundation donated Rs. 50 million for setting up an institute in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for thepromotion of science and technology.
A milestone in the evolution of the Institute was the registration of its parent body, namely, Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and Technology (SOPREST), in June 1988. Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan (late), then the President of the country, was elected president of the Society for life and Mr. H. U. Beg was appointed its honorary Executive Director.
The task of conceiving and formulating the basic form and features of the Institute was entrusted to a group of eminent scientists and engineers. These professionals started thetransformation of the dream into a reality at a galloping pace. The civil works at the campus site were started in early 1990. An interim office of the Institute was set up in August 1992 where senior professionals with outstanding backgrounds worked in a cohesive group to evolve the educational aims and philosophy of the Institute, its curricula, and details of state-of-the-art equipment for its laboratories and workshops. The ordinance of the Institute was promulgated by the Frontier Government in March 1993 and the first batch of students entered its portals in October 1993.
The Institute symbolizes the immense altruism and concern for collective welfare that exists in the private sector. It is the first privately-funded institute of its kind in the country and dedicated to bringing our engineering education at par with advanced countries. The students' fees have to be in consonance with the high costs of education. However, what the students are charged constitutes hardly a fraction of the total cost incurred in running the Institute. It receives financial and other support from diverse sources, its main donors being the Infaq Foundation, Chiniot Anjuman-e-Islamia, Dawood Group of Industries, and the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Message from the Pro-Rector (Academics)
The Institute offers a range of degree programs at the BS, MS and PhD levels that are designed to acquaint students with the latest developments in their respective fields of specialization. This enables the students to deal with the rapidly changing world of science and technology. In terms of quality, these programs are compatible with the best available anywhere in the world and our graduates are highly regarded by employers.
The distinctive feature of our institutional life is the sanctity of our teaching programs. As a starter, the academic schedules are announced well in advance and are adhered to strictly without disruptions or distractions. It, therefore, builds capacity for disciplined and regular work, and a passion for lifelong learning. The system of studies hinges on a semestrial regime which entails close, intensive as well as extensive, student- teacher interactions. Hence, a grading mechanism based on semester system is evolved, which conforms to the international practices. With a view to follow the best practices/benchmarks for quality assessment to help facilitate the international mobility of GIK Institute graduates, greater emphasis is mainly placed on the outcome based education (OBE). On fully assimilating internationally bench-marked OBE system, GIK Institute graduates will be considered at par with those graduating from Washington Accord (WA) signatory countries. Consequently, our graduates will enjoy several benefits including global mobility.
A university‟s reputation as a center of excellence in learning or outstanding performance in the domain of research and academia is more reflective of its teaching faculty; hence, GIK Institute has set high standards for attracting faculty of repute. The faculty members of the University are, therefore, endowed with demonstrated abilities and a deep sense of commitment to their respective fields of interest. As a result, our faculty members have outstanding track records in professionalism pertaining to teaching and research. Our faculty has, thus, earned recognition in research and joined international collaboration thereby providing technical expertise to the industry in the country.
Viewed as more than a clientele of the Institute, the student at GIK Institute remains the focus of all the activities as envisaged both in the vision and mission of the University. Hence, the slogan, “each student matters and has to be looked after properly”. The grooming of a student, both as a person and as a scholar, is, therefore, monitored for help and guidance whenever needed. GIK Institute may be described as a close-knitted community of scholars, which fosters growth through mutual support and shared experiences. The stimulating environment at the campus helps the students in the realization of their full intellectual, moral and social potentials.
It is heartening to note that many graduates of this Institute have already distinguished themselves in academics, research, business and management in addition to teaching in prestigious universities or heading technical organizations both nationally and internationally. The students are, thus, better advised to participate in diverse co- curricular activities organized by societies, chapters and clubs to develop their respective interpersonal skills and leadership qualities.

Message from the Pro-Rector (Admin and Finance)
It is a matter of great pleasure and privilege for me to present the salient features and key information relating to administrative and financial affairs of the Institute administered by 5 Departments presently headed by Directors viz Director (Finance), Director (Facilitation), Director (Procurement), Director (Works/Maintenance) and Director (Security & Protocol) working under my supervision. The Departments endeavour to work in close coordination with faculties and related departments, providing proactive administrative, financial, security and logistic support for all the activities of the Institute.
Managing the human and economic resources of the Institute within the overall ambit of financial discipline, procuring supplies, improving and maintaining thehorticultural beauty of the campus, and meeting the transport and security needs fall within the scope of these departments. In addition to the five Departments, Medical Centre works round the clock to take care of the health and medical requirements of the students, the faculty and the employees providing free medicines and free of charge laboratory investigations. I take pride in the role which Administration and Finance plays in this Institute, striving for academic excellence, meeting the needs of both the academic faculties and students.

1.2 Outcome-Based Education (OBE) 1. Outcome-Based Education (OBE) system has been launched at the Institute. 2. Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) set out an ambitious plan to become a full member of Washington Accord (WA);however, that needed stringent requirements to be fulfilled. As a consequence, PEC being a provisional member visited various institutes several times across Pakistan over a period of 2 years to identify faculties and departments that would meet high WA expectations. The PEC had initially shortlisted 4 universities for the WA Review Team visit to Pakistan. Finally, two institutions were selected by WA Committee in USA and GIK Institute was one of them. Within the GIK Institute, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) and Faculty of Electronic Engineering (FEE) were deemed fit to be showcased to the international experts from WA. Washington Accord officials Mr. Basil Wakelin, Mr. Colin Peter Smith and Dr. Jung Soo Kim stayed at GIK Institute from 23rd to 26th November, 2016 on an accreditation visit of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Engineering Programs. As a result of this accreditation visit, Electronic Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Programs have been accredited for 2 and 4 years respectively. Consequently, Pakistan has also been accepted as a full signatory member of WA in a recently concluded meeting of WA (June 2017) in Alaska, USA. The inclusion of Pakistan in WA list is a huge national achievement. This has been made possible due to the commitment and dedication of all deans, faculty, staff as well as support received from the offices of Pro-Rectors and Rector. 3. Environment Health and Safety (EHS): Workplace Safety of the employees is the responsibility of the Institute and is a very important aspect of Outcome-Based Education, which the Institute has fully adopted. Hence, to maintain safe working conditions in various labs across the Institute, EHS cell has been constituted in each faculty. An EHS committee is also being constituted at Institute level. External safety auditors from industry such as Attock Refinery Limited are called to inspect and recommend improvements on EHS implementation. 4. To make the faculty and the lab engineers expert in the OBE systems, many training sessions on OBE were arranged not only at Campus and Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) but also at many other venues. For instance, Prof. Dr. Abul Fazal Arif, KFUPM, KSA, visited GIK Institute on January 12, 2016, for a three-day workshop (one-day seminar and two-day advisory activities) on Outcome Based Education/Assessment to the faculty followed by Gap Analysis & Advisory Activities. Similarly, Dr. Arif Iqbal Rana, Associate Professor, LUMS, conducted a one-day workshop for the faculty on the topics related to effective teaching on 22 June, 2016.

CHAPTER 3: Quality Assurance
3.1 Impact of Quality Assurance in the University
3.1.1 Quality Assurance in Higher Education The purpose of quality assurance among Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) is to make sure that acceptable standards of education, scholarship, and infrastructure are being maintained. Every HEI must have a system of internal quality assurance and other quality assurance agencies to keep external checks. In Pakistan, HEC (Higher Education Commission) ensures the quality of education through QAA (Quality Assurance Agency).
ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 52
QAA manages the affairs in collaboration with the Quality Assurance Division of HEC whereas the Quality Assurance Committee (QAC), comprising eminent educationists, serves as its Advisory Board. QAA is working to safeguard public interest by enforcing good practices in education and encouraging continuous improvement in quality in higher education. For internal quality assurance, QAA requires every HEI to manage its Quality Enhancement Cell (QEC).
3.1.2 Quality Assurance in GIK
Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) has shaped some guidelines to appraise the quality of education in Pakistan, making it accessible and more relevant to the ever-changing circumstances and global needs. GIK Institute is the first privately funded institute of its kind in Pakistan - dedicated to bringing Engineering Education at par with the advanced countries. The engineering programs of the Institute are accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and implement internal quality benchmarks to enhance academic teaching and learning. The Institute is keen to strengthen its monitoring standards to remain comparable with competitive international education and research standards.
It follows strict guidelines to assess its quality of education. The establishment of the Quality Enhancement Cell at GIK, in accordance with Pakistan‟s Higher Education Commission (HEC)‟s guidelines, was another step in this direction. A systematic procedure of quality assurance is followed by the Institute keeping in mind the HEC guidelines.

5.7Outreach Program
Project Topi is the first student-run voluntary society of its sort in Pakistan, working mainly to educate the poor children of Topi (where GIKI is situated). It was started in the Fall 2000 and, to this date, has flourished into a well-organized and active society. The students manage to take out time from their hectic schedules in order to teach local students and provide them with the motivation and aspiration they lack so much. Results of this brave effort are very encouraging and Project Topi has produced many young individuals from the poor society of Topi ready to take up the challenges of professional life. Its area of activity is confined to Topi only but the message this group of students is trying to convey is being heard all over the country. The message is to work for ourselves to eradicate the evil of illiteracy from Pakistan in general and from the backward areas like Topi in particular, and students can play a vital role in doing so. Team Project Topi collects funds from within the GIKI student body and gives scholarships to the needy students of Topi, so they can pursue their education and do not drop out only because they do not have the resources for that. GIK students who cannot afford their mess bills are also provided financial support through this program. Prof. Dr. Sirajul Haq the advisor of the society supervises all the activities.

Users can connect to GIK Wi-Fi networks by selecting the appropriate network from the wireless list on their computers or mobile devices using Ubiquiti M2 and M5 Nano Stations deployed across the campus.
6.7Campus Management System
To achieve the objective of campus-wide automation, the project of Campus Management System (CMS) was initiated in collaboration with COMSATS University. It has seven modules: Online Admissions System, Student Information System, Student Fee Management System, Library Information Management System, Human Resource Information System, Outcome Based Education and Inventory Management System.
The customization of the modules such as Online Admission System, Student Information System, Fee Management System, Library Management System and Inventory Management System has been achieved in accordance with the requirements of the GIK end-users.
A brief description of the features of the CMS modules is elucidated below:
Online Admissions System – It is a web-based application designed to help students to submit online admissions applications. This portal encompasses full admission cycle ranging from activation of admissions to the generation of merit lists for respective faculties. Student Information System – It is a major module of the CMS, which provides comprehensive information about the full academic status of a student, attendance, marks, and courses attended. It is further organized into two separate consoles: faculty console and
ANNUAL REPORT 2016-17 86
registration console. The faculty console allows faculty members to enter student marks, attendance, lectures and final award lists. Whereas, the registration console enables the Admissions Department to handle course registration of all the students. Student Fee Management System – It is designed to allow the students to submit their admission fee conveniently. It generates the challan forms against tuition fees and other annual expenses such as student boarding and messing. It has the capacity to manage the fee instalments, scholarships and security refunds. Library Information Management System – It provides a web-based solution for managing library resources. The system is designed to maintain information about issuance and return of books, and generate various reports pertaining to the library related tasks on the daily basis. Human Resource Management System – It automates the functions of selection, recruitment and appointment of employees. It consists of a large database of employee information such as their grade, salary, qualification, experience, etc. The system maintains a record of employee leaves and can generate monthly payrolls. Inventory Management System – It maintains a complete record of stock items by displaying the current stock level, items received and items issued. However, it does not encompass the purchase function. Outcome-Based Education – OBE is rather an analytical methodology to assess the skills acquired by the students at the end of each term by using Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs). OBE software is a tool to assess the same for each student against a particular program.
6.8Admission Portal
The admissions portal is a robust application that enables the aspiring candidates to enter their details and complete the admission requests. The admissions portal also allows candidates to print admission forms along with admitting cards and challan forms. Candidates can apply for the scholarship or financial assistance. The administrators of the admissions portal have the privilege to generate merit list, upload entry test results and print offer letters. For the ease of navigation of the end-users, the admissions portal is linked to the GIK official website under the Admissions tab. Here is the complete URL of the admissions portal: http://admissions.giki.edu.pk/.
