Electrical and electronic systems are ubiquitous in modern society. Electrical engineers specializing in various fields have transformed the 21st century with technologies such as electric power systems, television, wireless radio, cellphones, and medical imaging to name just a few. Among the most famous people of these fields are Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Jack Kilby, Marcian Hoff (inventor of the microprocessor), and Martin Cooper (inventor of the mobile phone), and others. Electrical engineering degrees will equip students with knowledge of how the electrical and electronic systems work, as well as giving them the engineering skills and technical knowledge needed to design, assess and improve electrical and electronic systems. The focus of our bachelor programs in Electrical Engineering is to impart practical skills with an added emphasis on hands-on experience in the design and test of electrical and electronic systems.
Electrical engineers provide new solutions that support all kinds of technological systems and make them better and faster. Electrical engineers may become anything from an electrician to the designer of electrical systems for cars, ships or spaceships, and any device or product that runs on electricity. Electrical engineers also ensure proper operation of refineries and power plants and contribute to advancements in healthcare and medicine. For instance, the creative designs that help people with disabilities such as electronic prosthetic devices are designed by electrical engineers. It will not be an exaggeration to say that electrical engineers are the backbone of modern era of 5G and future mobile communication infrastructure.

After approval from the accreditation bodies of Pakistan and Partner University in Austria, they will be awarded dual degrees, one from PAF-IAST Pakistan and the other from MCI Austria. We have plans to start in the future other programs at Bachelors, MS, and PhD levels.
Presently, we are offering only a bachelor's program in Chemical Engineering. This will be potentially a unique program blending in right proportions internships and practical experience. In sync with PAF-IAST vision, “Skilling Pakistan”, the program is tailored to incorporate industrial training, industrial design project, and international collaboration, with main thrust on process engineering.
Chemical engineers are required to design, execute and maintain industrial processes in order to produce food, chemicals, fuels, pharmaceuticals and biological commodities. This entails for them to work with state-of-the-art technologies with a view to contributing to areas like energy, environment, chemical processes, as well as resource management. Their main responsibilities consist in maximizing productivity and quality at minimal costs, conducting research, design and optimizing equipment. Fair job opportunities exist for chemical engineering graduates to work in oil and gas sector, cement industry, renewable energy, water treatment, nuclear facilities, environmental agencies, food industry, pulp and paper industry, and in the domain of manufacturing industry.
