History & Background
Industrial
and technological development in Pakistan has been quite rapid since its
independence and particularly during the sixties and seventies. The main fields
of development have been related to the enhancement of agriculture,
establishment of and up-gradation of industries and exploration of its
indigenous resources. This development has resulted in increased demand for
qualified engineers in different fields in addition to other professionals. In
order to meet this demand and to provide an opportunity of engineering
education to the people hailing from the interior of Sindh Province, Sindh
University Engineering College was established in 1963 as a constituent college
of University of Sindh (then spelt 'Sind') in Jamshoro about 15 km. from Hyderabad
on the right bank of river Indus. The Education Policy of 1972 provided for
up-gradation of the Sindh University Engineering College to the level of a
University of Engineering and Technology. Accordingly, the college was first
declared as an additional campus of the University of Sindh headed by a
Pro-Vice-Chancellor in July 1976 and later upgraded to the level of a fully
fledged independent University on 1st March, 1977 through an ordinance issued
by the Government of Sindh. The ordinance was later converted into an Act of
the Provincial Assembly of Sindh Province. The new University was named as
"Mehran University of Engineering and Technology". Initially,
the Additional Campus as well the Mehran University was established in the City
of Nawabshah, necessitating shifting of the most of the infrastructure from
Jamshoro. However, in 1979, the Act of the University was amended and the seat
of the University was retained at Jamshoro, while a constituent College titled
' Mehran University College of Engineering and Technology' was maintained at
Nawabshah, to cater for the needs of the engineering education of upper Sindh.
Mehran University College of Engineering and Technology, Nawasbshah, has also
become an independent University in 1996, which has been renamed as
'Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering Sciences and Technology'. Consequently,
Mehran University of Engineering and Technology now exists only at Jamshoro,
having territorial jurisdiction over the Hyderabad and Mirpurkahs Divisions of
Sindh Province. Nevertheless, few seats are still reserved for the candidates
coming from other divisions of Sindh Province. The number of students admitted
to the First Year classes of all the under-graduate disciplines is 576 out of
which 537 candidates are admitted from Sindh Province, including Karachi
Division, according to a precisely calculated ratio of population and other
considerations. 21 applicants are admitted from other parts of Pakistan while
18 seats are reserved for the foreigners. The detailed distribution of the
seats is given in Prospectus. Most of the laboratories and workshops of the
teaching departments are properly equipped and practical as well as
demonstrational training is imparted to the students wherever applicable.
Continuous efforts are ongoing to upgrade these facilities for the practical
training and new equipment is acquired for this purpose. Additionally, training
to the concerned staff is also organized within the University as well as
outside. In some cases, where the training facilities are not available within
the University, the students are sent to suitable institutes in Karachi or
elsewhere to undergo adequate training. Every department has been provided
adequate number of personal computers and e-mail and Internet facilities for
the training and use of the students as well teaching staff. The postgraduate
courses were started in the University in 1978 leading to M.E. Degree,
initially, in three branches. Hostel facilities are also available for about
1100 students on the campus both male and female; which are located at walking
distance from the teaching departments. These hostels are equipped with
necessary facilities including bathrooms, reading rooms, game rooms, dining
halls, etc.

Library
The Central Library of the
University contains more than 80,000 books related to Engineering Science and
Technology. Access to 15,000 plus electronics journals is available on-line

faculty members, which makes collection most suited and beneficial to graduate
and under-graduate students. In addition, latest reference and other books are
also acquired every year to keep the users of the library abreast with the
latest information on Science & Technology specially engineering and its
allied subjects. In addition to providing the readers with in-house collection,
services are also provided for inter-library loan and photocopying of
literature including technical articles from other national and international
libraries. Literature search services are also provided on request in
cooperation with technical information centers within and outside Pakistan.
This service is further enhanced by cooperation among Muslim Countries under
COMSTECH. Students and faculty members are also provided with Internet facility
in the Library. Students are encouraged to use computer for their project work
for which PCs are installed in the Internet section of the library with a
network printer and photocopier. The Catalog of books is computerized and
accessible through library of congress get way serving one point access interface
for books catalog, full-text electronic journals and other electronic resources
on the web. Subject bibliographies can be produced on request. The library is
heavily used by the students, faculty members and researchers and is open from
8:00 am to 9:00 p.m. throughout the year with professional staff available at
service points to meet needs of the readers. Besides the central Library,
individual departments have established their own seminar libraries, which
cater to the specific needs of the departments. A union catalogue of books
available on Campus is also functional.
Strength
At
present the institute has over 1,700 employees with over 100 professionals.
