Military College of Signals (MCS) is a premier institution of the Pakistan Army and has established itself as a centre of professional excellence. MCS was established in 1947 as School of Signals. In order to fulfil Pakistan Army’s requirement for telecom engineers, the College was affiliated with Royal School of Signals in 1960. In 1977, it got affiliated with University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore for award of telecommunication degree and thus upgraded as Military College of Signals. After becoming a constituent college of NUST in 1991, Military College of Signals expanded its scope and inducted its first batch of 25 civilian students. The College started undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in Software Engineering and a Masters programme in Telecommunication and Information Security under NUST. In 2001, the College started its PhD programme in all three disciplines and to date 9 PhDs have graduated and 12 are pursuing their degree. At present, the College is producing over 200 graduates every year.

We interact daily with software systems; at home through computer games, at the office through online services and in the car through embedded control systems. Software Engineering applies both, computer science and engineering principles and best practices to the design, implementation, testing, maintenance, and evolution of software. Our Software Engineering programme covers not only the technical aspects of building software systems, but also management issues. This programme is an amalgamation of strong applied science knowledge, applications of engineering practice and an ability to understand the impact of technology. We endeavour to help students carry out both theoretical and experimental research in software engineering and to disseminate the results in the form of publications, patents and technology transfer to industry. Associated Careers The software industry has grown exponentially over the years; mechanical and electronic devices in automobiles, aeroplanes, entertainment and communication equipment and manufacturing are being replaced by software components because software is more adaptable, and can provide greater functionality. The ubiquity of software applications has created a multitude of career prospects for our graduates. Our graduates normally find employment with major service providers and large private industrial groups. There are a number of opportunities available within smaller service and technology providers, some of which are highly specialised and technologically advanced.

NUST Prospectus 2011 www.nust.edu.pk 49 MS Leading to PhD in Information Security Systems Programme Description

Cyber threats to federal information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures are evolving and growing. These threats can be unintentional and intentional, targeted or non-targeted, and can come from a variety of sources, such as foreign nations engaged in espionage and information warfare, criminals, hackers, virus writers, disgruntled employees and contractors working within an organisation. As government, private sector, and personal activities continue to move to networked operations; digital systems add ever more capabilities; wireless systems become more ubiquitous and as the design, manufacture, and service of information technology have moved overseas, the threat will continue to grow. In the absence of robust security programmes, agencies have experienced a wide range of incidents involving data loss or theft, computer intrusions and privacy breaches; underscoring the need for improved security practices.

Information Security Centre of Excellence

This setup is aimed at reducing the vulnerabilities faced by the national information infrastructure and cyber-space, by producing more qualified graduates and researchers in the various disciplines of Information Security, as well as indigenously designing and delivering technological solutions. The research and technical solutions designed at the proposed Information Security Centre of Excellence, will provide import substitute and enhanced level of trust.

Associated Careers

The programme is focused to produce professionals competent enough to offer solution for Information Security problems in the market. Graduates of this programme will be able to address information security related issues in present and future era of Information Technology. The need of Information Security has grown dramatically over the last few years. Like the Industrial Revolution, the Information Technology Boom, which started in the 1990’s and is still present today, has dramatically changed commerce around the world. This is mostly due to advancement of technology in computers, telecommunications equipment, and networking standards, leading to the development and widespread use of the Internet. This propagation of information security has led to an urgent and growing demand for information security professionals in Pakistan and all over the world. A hundred percent of our graduates go into employment or higher studies/professional trainings immediately after completion of

MCS their degrees. Our graduates normally pursue careers in major service providers such as PTCL, Warid, Mobilink, Zong, Ufone, Telenor and Special Communication Organisation (SCO); large private industrial groups such as Microsoft, NetSol, Ericsson, and Cisco; and a host of smaller service and technology providers.

MS Leading to PhD in Engineering Management (Evening)

The Engineering Management programme is designed to equip engineers for top management positions, like technical executives in manufacturing and service organisations both in public and private sectors. Latest courses and management tools provide the students with in-depth knowledge and skills in this field. The programme is structured in accordance with the international standards and comparable with similar programmes being offered at other reputed universities in the world.

Why join this programme?

Effective and efficient management is one of the important aspects in career progression for every engineer, irrespective of discipline, organisation, employment and position. Most of the engineering graduates, after completing their bachelors degree, enter the job market in their respective engineering discipline and are involved in technical work. Within 5-7 years of their employment, they are less involved in technical fields and more in management aspects of technical enterprises. This programme endeavours to transform students, who are already graduate engineers, with a diversified engineering discipline into visionary technical leaders, skilful communicators, and high achievers.

Associated Careers

The engineers so prepared, are the ultimate candidates for the positions of Chief Executive Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Technical Officers, and other technical management positions in technology-oriented industrial and service organisations.

158 www.nust.edu.pk NUST Prospectus 2011 MS Leading to PhD in Materials and Surface Engineering

Programme Description

In the age of nano-technology and nano-materials, research and development in the materials technology has become primordial for a nation like ours. Nano-technology research has primarily focused on molecular manufacturing, creation of tools, materials, machines and devices that will eventually enable us to untie the fundamental building blocks of nature, easily, inexpensively and in particular with defect-free properties. The Masters programme in Materials and Surface Engineering produces scientists and researchers of the future who can develop and use these materials for the betterment of the society. The emphasis of the programme is on the application of nano-technology to produce thin films, nano-composites, electronic and bio- materials, ablatives, photonics materials, armour and blast protection linings.

Associated Careers

Virtually all industries demand people with backgrounds in Materials Engineering. These people may be monitoring impurities in steel destined for an assembly line (in the steel industry), shrinking the size of circuits to improve the reliability of a pager (in the ICT industry), or designing new materials for a missile casing (in the defence industry). Industries may employ materials engineers to reduce the overall weight of a vehicle (in the automobile industry), remove limitations in power plants (in the manufacturing industry), or research product failures for a liability suit (in the legal and corporate sectors). Graduates can also exercise the option of working as researchers and scientists in a number of R&D organisations. The demand for materials engineers working on nano-materials and bio-materials is increasing as we speak. As manufacturing firms look for materials engineering needs, employment growth is expected in professional, scientific, and technical services industries also.
