MESSAGE FROM
VICECHANCELLOR
(Designate)
I consider engineering as combination of science, art and craft. Science part is covered in classrooms by a competent faculty. To develop the art of engineering, we frequently invite industry experts to deliver lectures to our students. These practitioners are called as industry professors and industry aces. We are also making linkages with industry and trying to fully capitalize the industrial hubs of Taxila and Hattar. To learn the craft part of engineering, we encourage and facilitate our students to get internships in industry. We have established a dedicated Placement and Alumni O�ce for helping students in �nding jobs and internships. Our faculty is involved in joint projects with industry and making contributions in solving problems of the local industry.
In sum, we can claim that the education we are imparting is relevant to the needs of our industry, country and society. CASE, an a�liate institute of UET, Taxila, has taken the lead in imparting engineering education to our youth on these lines while taking care of the needs of our industry, country and society.

Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering (CASE), is a project of Engineering Education Trust (EET). It was in the January of 2001 when we formally talked about establishing an institution of higher technical learning in Pakistan. We debated on its feasibility and gauged our commitment to this national cause and identified the dissemination of advanced knowledge in engineering and management to our professional engineers and scientists as the need of the hour.In 1998, a research and development organization named Communications Enabling Technologies (CET) Pakistan was established in Rawalpindi. Soon, CET headed by Dr. Shoab Ahmed Khan (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz) attracted some of the best professionals in Pakistan. Dr. Farrukh Kamran (Tamgha-e-Imtiaz), Dr. Saeed Ur Rahman, and Dr. Sohail Naqvi (Former Executive Director, HEC) joined CET in its early days and played a key role in establishing CASE. Later, this group was joined by more outstanding professionals like Dr. Syed Ismail Shah (Chairman Pakistan Telecom Authority), Dr. Aamer Iqbal Bhatti, Dr. Amir Qayyum, Dr. Imtiaz A. Taj, Dr. Sheikh Muhammad Farhan, Saleem Ahmed Khan, Dr. Mohsin Rahmatullah, Hammad Ahmed Khan, Dr. Zaheer Ahmed and Durdana Habib. Engineering Education Trust (EET) was established in May 2001. We take pride in starting CASE with graduate education and new research culture to bring Pakistan on the road to prosperity through a knowledge economy by developing human resource in higher technical education.UET Taxila granted affiliation of graduate program in Computer Engineering with 60 students. This led to the establishment of CASE on September 11, 2001 at Software Technology Park Islamabad. CASE was inaugurated by then the Minister of Science and Technology Prof. Dr. Atta-ur-Rehman. The institute had the support of an excellent teaching faculty of 10 PhDs and 8 MScs at that time. Later the new programs were established in following order:• Due to overwhelming demand, CASE took the initiative of establishing the department
of Engineering Management in Fall 2002 headed by Dr. Ali Sajid. In that year, 192 students registered in Computer Engineering and 41 students in Engineering Management.
• CASE programs attracted high quality graduate students and had to shift in present building in 2003 due to increased student enrollment.
• In 2004 the CASE decided to start its undergraduate program in Electrical Engineering with financial support from CARE (PVT) Ltd. This program was started in collaboration with Sir Syed Memorial Society (SSMS) and got accredited from Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) before the graduation of its first batch in 2008. CASE then became a project of Engineering Education Trust (EET) with joint collaboration with Sir Syed Memorial Society.
• To align engineering education with business development, BBA program was started in fall 2008.
• After the successful establishment of the these programs, CASE gradually introduced various new programs in last 6 years including Bachelor of Computer Science, Masters in Electrical Engineering, Masters in Software Engineering, Masters in Project Management, Masters in Business Administration and Masters in Management.
CASE has not only excelled in education but also on the forefront of research activities. We developed product focused research needs of our society with our partner CARE PVT Ltd providing industrial insights. CASE acquired research funding from CISCO Systems, PTCL and National ICT R&D Fund in last 10 years worth of Rs 130 millions. CASE continues to grow and currently more than 1350 students are enrolled in CASE programs, 40% of whom are postgraduate students. CASE faculty members and students has produced 2 startups and 8 engineering commercial products available in the local market thus generating jobs for young professionals.

Life is for one generation and a good name is forever. The reason for a good name can be a number of things including academic excellence, leadership qualities, a sound character and personality, impressive orator-ship and many more. At CASE, apart from imparting quality education, due consideration is given to engage students in healthy and character building activities.
Student Societies & Clubs Multiple societies and clubs have been formulated for the students. They are supported with financial assistance to promote sports and social activities on campus. Following is a description of these societies.
IEEE Student Chapter:IEEE CASE CHAPTER’s core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE CASE CHAPTER holds Technical and non-Technical events that include programming competitions, workshops, lectures, conferences and e-gaming competitions.
Arts Society:CASE Arts Society is a platform for students to enhance their leadership and management qualities.
It also provides them the opportunity to identify and polish their inbuilt qualities. Goals include volunteering, serving and sponsoring various arts events in the Institute. Every year CASE Arts Society conducts, promotes, assesses and continually improves several major events like Epic Arts, Scavenger Hunt and Talent Hunt etc.
Sports Society: Sports Society was formed with an aim to develop interaction, tolerance, sense of responsibility and sportsman spirit among the students of CASE. An engineer must not be competent in his own respective field but also should be able to participate in extracurricular activities. This society aims to provide a platform for students to show and improve their capabilities and skills and also to build character and leadership qualities.
Sports Society allows the students to express themselves using sports as a tool of communication by organizing many Intra/Inter-University events defined in the domain. For some of the more gifted it provides excellent opportunities to unleash their natural talent and is also a relaxing exercise after the academia workload.
Entrepreneurship Society:Faculty of Management at CASE developed the concept of CASE Entrepreneurship Society to provide platform where students get practically involved in the peer welfare and skill development. Secondly, in order to get more projection within the Business School Community in the Islamabad-Rawalpindi Region, presence of such platform was sought to be embedded within our Institute’s social environment.

CASE Entrepreneurship Society is symbol of vigor and perpetual excellence. It goes without saying that we have already won some major competitions like INVENT-IBA Karachi, NASCON-FAST, DISCOVER-NUST, Pakistan Startup Cup, TECTIQS-IQRA, and BMW-MAJU.
STEM (Society for Technology and Engineering Management):The society itself is vectored on the idea to synergize the efforts and innovative capabilities of Pakistani professionals so that they can have a unique platform to discuss, formulate and apply various concepts and industry driven solutions for the betterment of this country. It is a place where we put knowledge into action and thrive on the outcomes.
The society itself welcomes everybody from working professionals to young engineers to present their research, case studies or to use this as a platform to go into the industry and contribute.
Thinker’s ForumIt aims to harness the creative as well as the thinking prowess of the students. With the vision of “Today’s Thinkers, Tomorrow’s Leaders”, we recognize the importance of intellectual exercise within and beyond the scope of engineering. We hope to provide a platform where students are free to speak their minds, discuss the moral taboos which have plagued our society for decades and put up solutions to the problems in feasible ways, to help themselves, the people around them and Pakistan.
Adventure ClubThe idea of having this club is to provide students with an opportunity to escape from the daily routine of the busy campus life and be able to enjoy the wilderness and natural resources of Mother Nature.
Adventure Club is not only about enjoying the life; it also directs the student behavior towards industry through industrial visits. The experience gained through industrial visits sets a tone in student for what they may encounter after graduation.
