BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY The NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi was established in March 1977 under an Act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh on upgradation of the former NED Government Engineering College, Karachi. From the historical point of view, therefore, the University is fairly young. However, the NED Government Engineering College which originally formed the nucleus of the University structure, was set up in 1922 and was thus the oldest engineering institution of Pakistan. Initially starting from an enrolment of 50 students in Civil Engineering more than eight decades ago, the student population now in the three campus (Main, City & LEJ) has gone up to around 7000 at undergraduate and graduate level. This institution was initially founded as Prince of Wales Engineering College by the donations of the citizens of Karachi to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1921. The College was renamed as NED Engineering College in 1924 in memory of Mr. Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw, a well-known philanthropist, whose heirs made substantial donation for its development at the time of his first death anniversary. After the creation of Pakistan, the Government of the Province of Sindh took over the management of the College on October 17, 1947, and renamed it as NED Government Engineering College, Karachi. The College remained affiliated to the following Universities before it was raised to the status of full-fledged University. (a) (b) (c) The University of Bombay The University of Sindh The University of Karachi (from inception to 1947) (from 1947 to 1951) (from 1951 to February 1977)

A comprehensive plan was prepared in 1964 to shift the College from the downtown area to a new 40-hectare site adjoining the University of Karachi. The project was executed with the World Bank assistance and the College was shifted to the new Campus in 1975. The College was upgraded as additional campus of the University of Karachi in 1976 and finally raised to full-fledged Engineering University on March 1, 1977. Further development of the institution is continuing. The main campus at present has adequate teaching and laboratory facilities for graduate Programmes leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in eighteen disciplines viz Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer & Information Systems Engineering, Textile Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, Urban Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, Petroleum Engineering, Automotive Engineering Bio Engineering, Medical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Polymer & Petro-Chemical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering and Marine Engineering.

DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING On the basis of the prevailing scenario of architectural education in the country in general and Karachi in particular, it can be stated without doubt that there remains an urgent need for an architectural education institution that is capable of imparting quality education, foster research and scholastic pursuits as well as generate useful human resource for the broader socio-economic development of the country. The working strength of architects is much less than what is practically needed. Given the vast professional sphere in which the architects operate, the numerical strength is simply minimal. A technically sound and socially responsive breed of architects and planners need to be produced to fill this widening gap. The NED University has remained the foremost institution in professional education in engineering and related disciplines. In its working, the university had developed a regulatory, academic and administrative framework for architectural education which today provides a ready base for appropriate education in these disciplines. The creation of a department of architecture and planning has been a part and parcel of NEDs Master Plan. The present resources, facilities, spaces and technological backup are ample and adequate to support this purpose. Besides, the presence of various disciplines at the university act as a supportive factor for the architecture department. Eversince its creation in 2000, the Department has undertaken numerous research and outreach activities. The Journal of Research in Architecture and Planning, launched in 2001, has been regularly published on an annual basis. The department was a collaborative partner with four international universities from Europe and South Asia in the European Commission funded Asia-Link and AsiaUrbs Programmes between 2004 and 2007. This linkage produced several research outputs in the field of urban design. Besides, the department is the Secretariat of International Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and local office of UNESCO University and Heritage Linkage. The department has been conducting a Master of Urban and Regional Planning Programme since 2002. This programme was setup with the active assistance from University of Western Sydney, Australia. A significant need, however, remained for the initiation of Master of Architecture Programme due to diversifying job market, enhanced demand of specialized capacity in the domains of theoretical and applicational spheres and development of teaching faculty in architectural theory and design pedagogy. It is also worthwhile to note that no postgraduate programme in architecture exists in the entire province of Sindh despite the fact that five architectural institutions are currently functioning. Master of Architecture Programme, initiated in 2009, in therefore aimed to serve a need of the country.
