Chairman's Message


Thank you for considering the Department of Telecommunication Engineering (TED) at the University of Engineering and Technology Taxila for your studies. As the Department Chair, I extend a very cordial welcome to all of you, and I encourage you to look at what TED offer in terms of undergraduate and graduate education, research, innovation, technology transfer, entrepreneurship, services, and career advancement.
It is my great pleasure to share with you that TED has launched initiatives that will bring our engineering curricula to the forefront of the 21st century education, graduating talented engineers who will be able to start working immediately in a demanding global market. The first floor of the building has been completed - the new floor will house the state-of-the-art IoT laboratory, conference room and departmental library which will be effective in third quarter of 2016; a massive effort is underway to create a support and resource infrastructure second to none that will complement our programs emphasizing 'hands on experience'.
We offer both an exceptional quality of education and unique programs and degrees. The TED offers undergraduate and graduate degrees, currently making the University of Engineering and Technology Taxila the one of the few universities in Pakistan offering such degrees!

Our undergraduate programs and degrees center on the strong foundations of coupling theory, applications and experimentation. Small sections and laboratory based courses offer opportunities for active learning, better engagement and participation, as well as better instructor-student interactions. We focus on: continuous curriculum enhancements and revisions throughout all undergraduate programs. The curriculum exposes students to all aspects of engineering, providing them with the fundamental knowledge every engineer should have, and allowing them to make an informed decision about the discipline they want to follow. Further, we have incorporated ethics throughout our curricula and we will introduce new courses in engineering entrepreneurship, patents and intellectual property rights, which lay the foundations for the successful businesswoman and businessman of the future. An additional advantage of our curricula is student involvement in research. As such, students have opportunities to be part of funded research projects in addition to and on top of their final year project.

At the graduate level, TED offers MSc and PhD degrees in Telecommunication Engineering. At the Master's level, we have Full-time and Part-time students,likewise at PhD level. These programs have been designed to accommodate the professional engineer who wants a graduate degree in a limited time-frame. Our graduate programs follow thematic concentrations focusing on basic, applied research and development, coupled with continuous collaboration with our industrial and academic linkages.
We are establishing the new research laboratories and continuously enhancing the existing ones as they are essential to our educational and teaching philosophy, but also help us in solidifying research and development producing prototypes and introducing cutting-edge technologies leading to industrial innovation. I encourage you to look at the web for more details related to our research activities.

The TED Vision is to be a leader in educating, creating and graduating today's and tomorrow's Telecom engineers! This includes investing in the intellectual and human capital of each individual student, focusing on both breadth and depth of knowledge, multidisciplinary and integrated education, and meeting and exceeding current and future challenges in telecommunication engineering. We envision providing the unique environment that fosters educational, research, technological, economic, cultural, and social enrichment worldwide. We also envision being the pioneers who understand educational challenges and market demands, and create top quality successful and sustainable programs and curricula for our students.
The TED Mission stems from the realization and fact that we recognize the demands of the global economy, the new dynamics of the world market, cultural differences and diversity. It is our mission to excel in:

• Embracing knowledge and education.
• Being recognized as a Department that offers the best and most unique program in Telecommunication engineering, and preparing its graduates to assume leadership roles and social responsibility.
• Providing an environment in which students are given the essential resources to address research and solve real-world problems, participating in interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research and its applications.
• Promoting active learning, critical thinking, and engineering judgment, coupled with business and entrepreneurial skills.
• Offering internship, co-op and continuing education programs that produce top-notch graduates for the highest paid jobs I encourage you to look at our undergraduate program, navigate through the web site to find out about our faculty, staff, students, and educational and research programs - all of which label us as being at the forefront of many findings and farfetched implementations of technology in this rapidly moving and emerging information age we experience on a daily basis.
  I welcome all of you to our Department. I am looking forward to your being active participants at TED, and I count on your feedback, suggestions, recommendations and interactions with our faculty and staff, and me personally.
  Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you.
