History

NWFP University of Engineering and Technology (NWFP UET) is a premier institution of higher learning in the field of engineering sciences. Starting as a college in 1952, with an initial enrollment of only twenty students, today it boasts sixteen departments, covering an entire spectrum of engineering disciplines, from the traditional, such as electrical and mechanical, to the cutting-edge, such as electronics, computer sciences, mechatronics, and industrial engineering. There is a robust post-graduate program, where scholars are engaged in rigorous training and research towards the attainment of Masters and Ph.D degrees. We have started an ambitious program of linkages with industry, other government and non-government agencies and universities. Such interaction affords invaluable training to our faculty and students, through split programmes, joint research and faculty exchanges. Extra-curricular and co-curricular activities are an integral part of student learning. Sports, cultural activities, debating, drama and social activities not only gives our students a break from routine academic programs, but also help hone their skills in becoming well-integrated individuals in society. To-date, more than eight thousand of our well-rounded graduates are serving the needs of Pakistan. Many have rightfully achieved high positions of responsibility and excellence in their chosen fields, and done us all proud. North West Frontier Province is steeped in history and true folklore of hospitality, valour and romance. Peshawar valley has been the gateway to civilizations for thousands of years, making Peshawar city a cradle of knowledge, trade and industry. NWFP UET is a microcosm of this rich and varied cultural diversity. At NWFP UET we, in our humble capacity, are proud to be part of the continuing tradition of making our people, and this region, an integral part of a continuing saga where, amidst the rough and tumble of this global “hotspot”, there also are shining examples of institutions engaged in the high-end of engineering education.

Campus (es)

Peshawar

With a modest beginning in 1952 as a “constituent” college of Peshawar University, the NWFP UET was established in 1980. Since then, three satellite campuses in Abbottabad, Bannu and Mardan have been established. Recently we have expanded to Hayatabad also. However, Peshawar Campus remains the nucleus of the University, keeping everything moving along the correct path. Located in the historic city of Peshawar, NWFP UET is a reflection of the surrounding environment. While the ambiance on campus is predominantly academic, there is a strong cultural flavor, easily discernable in every facet of its activities. Our unique cultural diversity is readily recognizable. There are many disciplines at Peshawar for students to choose from. These are supported by well-equipped laboratories, departmental research, and a central library, sports facilities and enough dormitory accommodation to house most students that need campus housing. New projects are in the pipeline that includes starting new technologies, national level centers for research, ambitious programs to expand built-up area, strengthening of departments, particularly laboratories, and a major facelift and improvement of the existing infrastructure.

Mardan

As a result of our growth in the last few years, students were offered an option to get admission in other regions of NWFP. Mardan Campus was inaugurated in 2002 with a spirit to bring engineering education to people at their door steps. The campus is spread over an area of more than 22 acres, including a covered area of 190,000 sq.ft., consisting of an administration block, academic blocks, recreation centre, students and faculty housing. At Mardan we offer two engineering undergraduate programmes that include Telecommunication Engineering and Computer Software Engineering. All the laboratories have recently been strengthened with the latest cutting-edge equipment. The ever increasing applications demonstrate that student find programmes offered credible and useful.

Abbotabad

The Chancellor, NWFP UET inaugurated Abbottabad Campus in October, 2002, in the old premises of Ayub Medical College. The city of Abbottabad gained fame as a city of schools and colleges. Due to a pleasant climate, people from all parts of the country send their children to study in reputed educational institutions such as Army Burn Hall, Abbottabad Public School, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology etc. In addition, five medical colleges in the city also attract students. Establishment of a campus of NWFP UET in Abbottabad has not only addressed a longstanding public demand, but also enhanced the city's image as a seat of learning. Known for its natural beauty, better climatic conditions and a vast network of educational institutions, Abbottabad was ideally suited for such an institution of higher learning in applied sciences. At Abbottabad Campus, Architecture and Electronics Engineering are the main streams.

Bannu

Bannu Campus became operational in May 2002, in the premises of the Comprehensive High School in the city. This has brought higher education in engineering sciences to this neglected middle-southern region. Prior to this, students would go to Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat or Peshawar to pursue their higher studies. Currently, two traditional disciplines in engineering sciences are offered, and efforts are afoot to consolidate these programs. Large investment in strengthening laboratories, and upgrading infrastructure are being done to quickly bring this campus at par with others.

Hostel at a Glance

The University has accommodated more than 1300 students in its hostels at Peshawar Campus. During the year all the rehabilitative work including white wash and flooring was completed. Moreover, in order to meet the increasing demand for accommodation a separate girls hostel has been constructed at Peshawar Campus which will house 100 female students. The hostel for 200 boys will be completed by the end of 2008. The hostel administration is fully committed to provide proper mess services to the boarders as well as keeping an eye over any political activities in hostels.
