Introduction
Indeed, knowledge is increasingly turning into the main

currency of the new age of information and technology
and a decisive source behind the progress of any
country. However, diverse knowledge needs to be
considered and reviewed in order to progress in today's
age of information. Furthermore, development is not
likely without dramatically increasing the role of
technical as well as scientific knowledge and, above all,
without the acquisition of scientific mindsets. Science
and technology is a 'passage oblig' to the progress of
any nation in this era of transition and flux.
Nevertheless, development of capabilities in the
advancement of scientific knowledge is indispensable to
meet ever-increasing global challenges.
The recent mega-wave of new scientific knowledge,
titled as the 'Knowledge Millennium', has provided new
drive for progress. It provides a variety of avenues that
could be explored and identified. Scientific and technical
knowledge construction is increasing exponentially and
www.ist.edu.pk
www.ist.edu.pk
is compelling all disciplines to branch into

specializations.
In this milieu the Institute of Space Technology,
Islamabad, was established in September, 2002 with the
focus on the progression of scientific approach and of
critical thinking rather than singularly concentrating upon
the encyclopedic and academic knowledge. At IST we
believe that the new analytical ways of thinking and the
new mental approaches are more vital than the new
knowledge to attain a significant transition to progress in
the society.
The Institute offers undergraduate degrees in Aerospace,
Electrical, Mechanical, Materials Science & Engineering
and Space Science as its core disciplines.
The Institute acquired its degree awarding charter in
October, 2005. Presently, the institute is collaborating
with Number of International Universities including
Beihang University (BUAA), China, University of Surrey
(UniS), UK, Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU),
China to offer several degrees of education in a variety
of subjects, besides its indigenous graduate as well as
undergraduate programs.
The faculty of IST with their professional expertise and
up-to-date knowledge in their field, industry and applied
research experience, is committed to impart the highest
quality education with HEC's Foreign Faculty Program,
we have notable number of specialized faculty at IST,
who have brought home with them years of experience
from abroad.
The Institute designs its innovative and career orientated
courses to enhance career, ensuring skills and
knowledge gain, required by the industry. Equipments
such as Subsonic and Supersonic Wind Tunnel have been
set up for the up gradation of experiment and research
facilities. The aim is to uphold a high quality in education
and research in order to consolidate and advance its
position among the best Science and Technology
Universities in the world.

manufacturers and facilities. Hiring
employees with Chinese-language
skills is a benefit to employers.
Seeing its growing importance,
more and more schools and
universities across the world have
started to offer Chinese language as
one of their options alongside
Spanish and French. IST initiated
Chinese language classes on 1st
Feb 2011. Peoples' Republic of
China, currently the fastest growing
economy in the world, is widely
regarded as the potentially biggest
global market in the twenty-first
century. Proficient speakers of
Mandarin Chinese will find jobs in
various fields such as Business,
Government, International
Relations, Information Technology,
Tourism, Education, Translation etc.
Of all foreign languages at
worldwide universities and colleges,
Chinese shows the highest
proportional increase in enrollment.

Department of
Materials Science & Engineering
Materials Science & Engineering (MS&E) is one of the

most important of the engineering disciplines as it impacts
nearly all the fields of engineering. The discipline is
concerned with the structure, properties and application
of materials used in modern technology. MS&E program
is directed towards understanding why materials behave
the way they do, how materials are made, and how new
materials with unique properties can be developed. The
study of MS&E encompasses specific materials such as
metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, semiconductors
and nanomaterials etc and understanding how their
structure, from the atomic level to that of common
objects, influences physical, chemical, biological and
mechanical properties.
The existing departments of materials and metallurgical
engineering in the country mainly focus on teaching,
research, development, production and processing of
materials used in conventional applications at ambient
conditions. However, IST is imparting education in
materials science and engineering not only for
conventional applications but also as per
programs/requirements of the strategic organizations.
Aerospace programs of any country require materials
having high strength, low density which should withstand
high temperature, most importantly high temperature
gradient in presence of intense radiations. As metallic
materials are mostly dense with acute potential of
damage due to radiations, therefore, alternative materials
like composites and nano-materials with modified
surfaces and coatings are required to be explored.
However, a wide variety of opportunities await the
www.ist.edu.pk
www.ist.edu.pk
materials science and engineering graduates in research,

development, design, production and management in
almost every industry.
Mission Statement
The Department of MS&E aims to prepare technically
strong engineers who can contribute to the society and to
