Working Paper No. 6

Restructuring of MS (Manufacturing Systems Engineering &

Management) Program to MS (Manufacturing Engineering &

Management) Leading to PhD

Sponsored by PNEC

Introduction

1. NUST has a long term vision of bridging the gap between the industry and

academia and also providing industry and services sector with qualified and

motivated engineers which in future would shape the course of progress for the

country. Establishment of Institute of Manufacturing Engineering & Management

at PNEC Karachi has been a step in this direction. MS(MSE&M) Programme was

approved for IME (PNEC) and SMME, Islamabad in 2008 with both programmes

sharing the same curriculum.

2. A positive trend of increase in number of students in each new batch is being

observed. However a few adjustments in curriculum are found relevant for

progression and improvement of the programme as well as requirement of

inclusion of PhD programme has been felt. It is pertinent to mention that SMME

too has changed its curriculum and name of programme as well as have included a

PhD programme.

3. This working paper suggests modification and improvement in programme

of Manufacturing Systems Engineering & Management and inclusion of PhD

programme.

Restructuring of MS

4. MS programme in Manufacturing Systems Engineering & Management was

started in October 2008 at IME. Precedence for subject curriculum was taken from

curriculum of similarly named programme at SMME. The program is running

successfully and currently there are 20 students enrolled in this program. First

batch has already started its research phase after successful completion of course

work. A large number of applications are under review at HQ NUST for this

programme and It is likely that student strength would increase three to four fold

this year. A lot of interest has also been displayed by various working

professionals towards the programme. The programme being in its infancy stages

need further refinement in order to satisfy the needs and to cater for the feedback

received from prospect students.

5. In order to increase the intake further and best utilization of the currently

held faculty; it was felt that scope of the programme and curriculum should be

redesigned. Following salient changes have been proposed for up-gradation of the

programme:

a. Change of title from MS in Manufacturing Systems Engineering &

Management (MSE&M) to MS in Manufacturing Engineering &

Management (ME&M)

As this programme focuses on Manufacturing systems only, there is little

room for students who want to undertake projects on manufacturing

processes and technologies. Out of four PhD faculty members at IME,

three have specialization in manufacturing or materials processing

engineering. This necessitates the name and scope of programme to be

broadened to manufacturing engineering instead of manufacturing

2

systems engineering only. Same is expected to attract a bigger intake of

students in fervent market of Karachi. It should be noted that SMME also

has changed the title of the programme to MS(Industrial &

Manufacturing) leading to PhD programme. Name hereby proposed was

found more relevant to requirements raised and overall trend prevailing

in Karachis academic market.

b. Changing of duration and credit hour requirement for award of degree

from two years to one & half years and 33 credit hours to 30 credit hours

The duration and total credit hours of the current MS programme are

different from other MS programmes running in the college which needs

immediate attention. In order to obtain standardization/harmony, with all

other MS programmes, the captioned programme has been reduced to

one and half year duration and 30 credit hours. This will further

strengthen the management and will provide uniformity without a chance

of ambiguity in regard to start/end of the MS programme and conduct of

exams etc.

6. Proposed restructured programme is attached at Annex A.

Inclusion of PhD Programme

7. Keeping in line with the fields of study and availability of qualified faculty

and labs and in order to support the research work at IME, it is recommended that

PhD programme in the field of Manufacturing Engineering and Management bepermitted to start at IME. IME with its present capacity can undertake the task

which is directly in line with approved PC-1 for the initiation of institute in the first

place.

8. After successfully running two batches and accumulated basic research base

i.e. qualified faculty and equipped labs, IME finds itself capable of launching the

PhD programme. Salient details are given in Annex B (as required by NUST for

start of any new programme) and proposed curriculum is given at Annex C.

Recommendations

9. This working paper was discussed in the PNEC FBS meeting held on 25th

June, 2010 and was recommended for posting in the University Curriculum

Review Committee (UCRC) for approval. In view of the above UCRC is requested

for the following:

a. To change name of MS(MSE&M) to MS(ME&M) as proposed.

b. To change credit hour requirement from 33 to 30 in order to bring

them in line with other Masters Programmes being conducted at

NUST.

c. To reduce the allocated time for MS from two years to one and half

years.

d. Approve the PhD programme in Manufacturing Engineering &

Management structured on MS (ME&M) and proposed research areas.
