Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology Karachi
Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET) has been sponsored by Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys Association of Pakistan, Karachi. It was set up through the Sindh Government Ordinance No. XII of 1993 dated 6th October, 1993 and the Charter granted by Governor of Sindh on 8th October, 1993. The Act was passed by the provincial Assembly of Sindh on 17th September, 1995 and assented by Governor of Sindh on 16th October 1995, and published in the Gazette as "Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, Act 1995 - Sindh Act No. X of 1995." Factors behind the establishment of SSUET . There were only two Engineering Colleges in the country at the time of Independence in 1947. Due to concerted and determined efforts of the Government, a reasonable improvement was made over the years but it still lacked a break-through in quality education. It is difficult for the technical education centers to produce the necessary skilled and trained man-power and expertise needed to cope with rapidly emerging technologies. The 6th and 7th Five-year Plans threw sufficient light on the importance and need of the development of facilities for producing technical/vocational Engineers and Research Workers. It was as a result of all these factors that a final move was made which resulted in the establishment of Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi on 8th October 1993.

 Historical Needs .

20th Century was the Century of Science and Technology. The mammoth growth in technology changed the scenario and complexion of the globe. After the creation of Pakistan, it was felt that without sufficient number of educational Institutions and particularly the Technical Education Institutions the country would not be able to keep pace with the fast advancing World. The Aligarh Muslim University Old Boysâ€™ Association of Pakistan (AMUOBA), which was a body of old students of Aligarh Muslim University, had, as one of its objectives, to promote education in Pakistan with particular emphasis on technical education. AMUOBA had strong feeling that ample facilities for technical education were highly essential for Pakistan, if it had to stand on strong footings.

The adequate facilities of technical education could only bring to fore the dynamic minds that could rise to the occasion to change the complex situation, arising from the paucity of technical hands and growing intimacy between economy and technology. It had become a time honored fact that innovation in technology was the main driver towards growth and prosperity. AMUOBA had been striving for establishing educational institutions. It was successful in opening schools and a technical institution that imparted education up to the Diploma level. But its ultimate aim was to set up a University in keeping with the philosophy of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, who had transformed the lot of Indian Muslim by setting up educational institutions at Aligarh.

The efforts of AMUOBA bore fruit when the Governor of Sindh issued an ordinance for the establishment of Sir Syed University of Engineering &Technology and the university started in the year 1994.

Later the Provincial Assembly of Sindh on 17th September, 1995 passed the Sir Syed University of Engineering bill â€“ 1995, this was ascended by the Governor of Sindh on 16th October, 1995 and published as an Act of Legislature of Sindh in the Gazette of Sindh (Extraordinary) on 25th October, 1995. Before the establishment of sir Syed University there were only a few engineering institutions, which did not have sufficient number of seats to meet the requirements of the bulk of the students, coming out of the colleges after passing Intermediate Examination. Most of the students, who could become good engineers, were obliged to change to Commerce or Arts due to non-availability of the seats in engineering colleges. Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology opened many venues for students

SSUET > Recognition and Quality .

Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology is recognized from following bodies

Sindh Assembly Charter Pakistan Engineering Council Higher Education Commission International Organization for Standardization ISO Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee CIEC

The degree of Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology is accepted almost in all the reputed Universities as the University is recognized by HEC and its degree programs are accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council. Furthermore, it is also a member of Association of Common wealth Universities and the International Association Universities (UNESCO) and its degree is certified for H1 visa by American Immigration. Job Prospects and Support in Economy Growth .

The prospects for employment of graduates from this University are bright in view of their expected quality education and training. The demand for highly qualified Engineers and Scientists specializing in new disciplines of engineering and technology is increasing because of the need to modernism and automation the industry so as to be competitive in the International Export Market for manufactured goods.

Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology can, it is hoped meet the challenges of self reliance in scientific research and development. The facts and figures show that government, semi-government and private organizations prefer to engage the graduates of this University because of their skill and quality of Education.

IT Park . The most attractive part of the development scheme of the new campus, is the establishment of the IT- Park associated with the university. This will generate a very useful interaction between industry and research sector, resulting in quick resolution of industry problems and speedy growth in industrial sector. The IT Park shall also provide opportunities to students to train themselves as technologist of the highest caliber. The Park would be equipped with state-of-the-art facilities like wireless LAN/WAN, VSAT, video conferencing, disaster recovery sites, R&D labs, Tele-Medicine, IT incubation center, training institutes, and a global data center. The park would also offer supporting services such as travel & banking services, health club and security and safety systems. The idea is to have all IT and IT-enabled services under one roof.
