B.E. (Energy Engineering)

The emergence of Hamdard University on the educational scene of Pakistan is relatively
recent phenomenon but the progress it has made so far is phenomenal. The university
however, does not rest on its achievements and looking ahead for future expansion to be
at par with renowned universities. The location of this institution is 28 km from the
commercial centre on the main highway leading to Bund Murad Khan in the vicinity of
Sindh - Balochistan border.
The universitys location is ideal for Wind energy, Solar energy and Biomass energy.
Solar energy and Wind energy laboratories are available for experiments. FEST has a
unique facility of indigenous development of laboratories equipment. The students are
provided impetus to work in such laboratories
.
Renewable energy is generated from natural resources such as sunshine, wind, rain, tides
and geothermal heat which are renewable (naturally replenished). Thus renewable energy
technology ranges from solar power, wind power, hydropower for electricity and biomass
and bio fuels for transportation. Renewable energy is called the clean energy or green
energy because it doesnt pollute air or the water.
The electricity we use every day doesnt come directly from the earth, but we make
electricity using the earth resources, like coal or natural gas. Both coal and natural gas are
called fossil fuels because they were formed deep under the earth during the dinosaur
times. The problem is that fossil fuels cant be replaced once we use them, they are gone
forever.
According to recent data, a large percentage of energy is derived globally from renewable
sources. Only wind energy contributes more than 100 GW in developed countries. These
data reveal the domestic as well as world market for skilled engineers is on high demand.
The energy engineering program prepares the students for fill the gap of professionals in
this area.

B.E. (Telecommunications Engineering)

The exponential growth of telecommunication has changed this world into a global
village. The power in telecommunication indicates the digital sovereignty and military
prowess of a country. The last decade has seen great changes in the fields of
telecommunication. Simple telephony has been taken over by mobile and cellular
communication, which is going through a merger with Internet technology.
Above all there is a big move towards privatization of the telecommunication industry,
following which there shall be an open competition in the market. Time is not far away
when industry will face scarcity of telecommunication engineers in the country; with the
result that fresh graduates will find themselves in a flourishing and demanding market of
telecommunication engineering as soon as they pass out from the University.
To work effectively in this rapidly growing field, the telecommunication engineers must
understand both hardware and software techniques and must effectively use both
techniques in order to design, build and test complex telecommunication systems. The
overall program provides an environment that encourages creativity and excitement
driven approach to deliver results. All these courses have an essential component of
practical work.

Graduate School of Engineering Sciences & Information Technology (GSESIT)

GSESIT was established in 1997 with the name of Hamdard Institute of Information
Technology (HIIT). Later on, due to its main focus on graduate programs, it was
renamed as Graduate School of Engineering Sciences and Information Technology
(GSESIT).
Initially, Master of Science in Information Technology MS (IT) was offered since the
inception of the Institute. In Fall 2002, Master of Science in Software Engineering MS
(SE) program was introduced. Since 2007, Masters of Engineering programs have been
offered in different engineering disciplines. Over the past fourteen years, GSESIT has
been playing a leading role in imparting quality technical education and training. New
programs of Masters, M.Phil., and Ph.D. have recently been offered.
GSESIT offers the following two tracks:
M.S./M.E. leading to Ph.D. for Engineering, IT and Computer Science Students

M.Phil. leading to Ph.D. for Science Students
GSESIT is offering the following graduate and research programs:

MS (SE): Master of Science in Software Engineering

Software Engineering is a discipline concerned with the practical problems of developing
largescale software systems. Software engineers are the architects of the software
components of a computerbased system, providing several levels of representation or
blueprints leading to specifications through which programmers build modules of the
systems. Software development methodologies and management techniques combine
with theories from mathematics and computer science in a costeffective manner to solve
realworld system development problems.
