SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING School of Chemical and Materials Engineering (SCME) commenced its programmes in 2006, and currently offering undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in the twin disciplines of Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering. In line with the futuristic vision of NUST imparting quality education, maiden undergraduate programmes in the fields of Chemical and Materials Engineering were launched in the year 2008. Presently, the school has 434 students of which more than 129 are pursuing degrees at the MS and PhD levels. An important element of the undergraduate programme is the industrial design project, aimed at strengthening their understanding of engineering fundamentals and to develop their advanced engineering skills. The project also develops new outreach activities to inspire promising scholars to study at the University. At a higher level, these industrial design projects may contribute in making vital equipment inventions. The School enjoys reciprocal ties with universities in Europe, China and the ASEAN countries, and continues to forge stronger links with the academia and research communities across the world. In this regard, an MoU has been signed with INPT Toulouse, France, a leading university in the field of Simulation and Modelling of Fluid Dynamics. Our Materials Engineering Department is also collaborating in terms of students and teachers exchange with Institute of Materials (IMN) Nantes University, France. Several significant industrial projects are at hand, involving private and strategic partners. This is envisioned to provide a framework for present and future collaboration between academia and the industry and to make an important contribution towards re-vitalising the industry s capability. It is due to this conviction that university-industry linkage is being forged at SCME in line with prevalent higher education policy. SCME has a strong tradition of holding seminars and talks on contemporary topics of interest; both in the specific fields of study pursued at the School and areas of wider significance. Internationally recognized faculty involved in cutting-edge contemporary research together with well-equipped, state-of-the-art labs and learning resources provide an ideal setting for professional growth. We encourage, support and celebrate exceptional approaches to teaching that excite and inspire engineering students in a supportive and challenging environment. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT SCME has attracted world-class faculty due to its conducive research environment, including graduates from the world s leading institutions like Oxford, Imperial College, Gothenburg, Manchester and many others. Internationally recognized faculty, coupled with well-equipped state-of-the-art labs and learning resources, provide an ideal setting for professional growth. As a result, the faculty has been receiving attractive research grants and support awards both from local and foreign sponsors. Students are fully supported and financed for initiatives in research activities. It provides opportunity of foreign research experience / research scholars interaction with students through split research programmes and faculty-invited programmes. 2

ALUMNI MESSAGES Anum Chandani Designation: Graduate trainee process engineer at ENGRO After graduating from university one realizes the true importance of it. NUST being the best engineering school in Pakistan, has provided me with a lot more than just world class education, it has given me the confidence and skills essential to survive in the cut throat world of a cooperate. I am currently working as a graduate trainee process engineer at ENGRO polymer and chemicals ltd and my time and studies at SCME- NUST has helped me immensely in delivering what my company expects and demands from me. In my opinion NUST does not only make you a good engineer but it also provides you with an opportunity and an environment to truly become an all-rounder and acquire the skills needed to exceed and excel in the real world. Mustafa Arshad Designation: Trainee engineer at DESCON As we approached the end of the last semester of our degree at SCME, we were all pumped up about the project, assuming responsibilities, how we would present, what we would include, etc! Little did we know that the outside world was crawling with engineers, wandering around for work helplessly despite being quite competent. We had high expectations from the Open House day, but unfortunately the number of companies that turned up was nothing short of disappointing. Things you've to bear with being the first batch! But we moved on and so ended our eventful sojourn at SCME. Looking for work as a fresh graduate can be really menacing, it seems like everyone wants to hire people with some kind of experience or the other. But thankfully ENGRO happened and a handful of our peers made it in. I wasn't one of them. For some it seemed like the end of the world, but it certainly wasn't. A month long wait for the nut to crack ended when DESCON Eng. Ltd.'s training program came to being. I made it this time. The only representative from our SCME Today, as I get ready for being transferred to Descon Qatar and ending the training as one of the top three trainees, I feel I have given something back to SCME. A small portion out of the huge chunk of values it gave me over the four year period of my degree. Mohammad Taha Designation: Trainee chemical engineer at FFBL As being one of the premiere universities of Pakistan, NUST not only has state of the art facilities but a dedicated faculty and committed administration; a combination that is usually scarce. NUST not only polished my academics, but also provided me hands on practical experience and corporate grooming, primarily due to teaching methodologies followed here. I feel proud to be a NUSTIAN. 11
