MS and PhD in Information Security

Cyber threats to federal information systems and cyber-based critical infrastructures are evolving and growing. These threats can be unintentional and intentional, targeted or non-targeted, and can come from a variety of sources, such as foreign nations engaged in espionage and information warfare, criminals, hackers, virus writers, disgruntled employees and contractors working within an organisation. As government, private sector, and personal activities continue to move to networked operations; digital systems add ever more capabilities; wireless systems become more ubiquitous and as the design, manufacture, and service of information technology have moved overseas, the threat will continue to grow. In the absence of robust security programmes, agencies have experienced a wide range of incidents involving data loss or theft, computer intrusions and privacy breaches; underscoring the need for improved security practices.
Information Security Centre of Excellence

Control Systems Engineering is the foundation of modern industrial development. This sequence builds a strong base in systems engineering and links it to the control systems theory of linear and non-linear systems. A heavy dose of abstract linear algebra and control theory enables students to handle systems in domains of their interest as researchers. The continuous-time control theory is also extended to discrete-time to enable the development of modern computer-based control systems. The option also focuses on more modern and sophisticated adaptive, optimal, robust, neuro-fuzzy and learning control concepts, etc.

Modern developments in the world especially in industrial and military applications are mostly due to enhancements in control systems. Most modern control systems happen to be the main technologies behind all the precision machines and weapon systems. The associated developments in sensor technologies, actuating systems, system model identification, digital instrumentation and signal processing tools are playing vital roles in these sophisticated control systems. The faculty members associated with this specialisation are professional engineers and scientists, each actively engaged in research work as well as teaching.

I am more than satisfied with the quality of education at SEECS; the people here have welcomed me with open arms and have made my time comfortable. The administrators and faculty are some of the godliest and sincere people youll find anywhere, and the size of the student body provides an opportunity to rub shoulders with them in a personal kind of way. They are all so real and approachable. My last words are Come to SEECS! Its really opened my eyes to the world and the fantastic culture they have here. Ibrahim khan (Bachelors of Information and Communication Systems Engineering Graduated 2011 I graduated from NUST-SEECS with one thing in my mind; I was battle-ready; ready to take on the real world problems; ready to leave my mark on the world. Back in my early years I was in no way, what you would call, capable. Capable, in the sense that I could apply myself in a professional organization but as I leave SEECS, I know well that the abilities instilled in me here have now transformed me into a soldier. I can now go out and say, I can rather than I dont know how to; and it has been made possible by a wonderful powerhouse of the university, SEECS.

MS and PhD in Materials and Surface Engineering

In the age of nano-technology and nano-materials, research and development in the materials technology has become primordial for a nation like ours. Nano-technology research has primarily focused on molecular manufacturing, creation of tools, materials, machines and devices that will eventually enable us to untie the fundamental building blocks of nature, easily, inexpensively and in particular with defect-free properties. The Masters programme in Materials and Surface Engineering produces scientists and researchers of the future who can develop and use these materials for the betterment of the society. The emphasis of the programme is on the application of nano-technology to produce thin films, nano-composites, electronic and biomaterials, ablatives, photonics materials, armour and blast protection linings, modern alloys and smart materials.
Associated Careers
Virtually all industries demand people with backgrounds in Materials Engineering. These people may be monitoring impurities in steel destined for an assembly line (in the steel industry), shrinking the size of circuits to improve the reliability of a cell phone (in the ICT industry), or designing new materials for a missile casing (in the defence industry). Industries may employ materials engineers to reduce the overall weight of a vehicle (in the automobile industry), remove limitations in power plants (in the manufacturing industry), or research product failures for a liability suit (in the legal and corporate sectors). Graduates can also exercise the option of working as researchers and scientists in a number of R&D organisations. The demand for materials engineers working on nano-materials and bio-materials is increasing as we speak. As manufacturing firms look for materials engineering needs, employment growth is expected in professional, scientific, and technical services industries also.

Research Centre for Modelling and Simulation (RCMS)

Research Centre for Modelling and Simulation was established at NUST in 2007 to set up Modelling and Simulation facilities for design and development in various disciplines through education, training and research, and act as a platform to integrate these efforts by the government, academia and industry. The centre focuses on mathematical modelling and simulation of structures, fluids, electrical systems, communication systems, computer & network architecture, operations management, human behaviour and war scenarios. Computational Science and Engineering (CS&E) or Modelling and Simulation is now regarded as an equal and indispensable partner, along with theory and experiment, in the advancement of scientific knowledge and engineering practice. Numerical simulation enables the study of complex systems andnatural phenomena that would be too expensive or dangerous, or even impossible, to study by direct experimentation. The quest for ever higher levels of detail and realism in such simulations requires enormous computational capacity, and has provided the impetus for dramatic breakthroughs in computer algorithms and architectures. Due to these advances, scientists and engineers can now solve large-scale problems that were once thought intractable.

(J. Chris Willmann, CEO) CES is need of the hour. Lack of credible knowledge was the reason behind the energy crises and CES can give valuable contribution to the industry in this regard. We look towards CES, NUST to foster long term collaboration in the field of energy to offer sustainable solutions to the industry. (Sohail A. Khan, Vice-President)
PSO will provide buy back guarantee to the entire output oil/ Biodiesel produced by NUST and will facilitate NUST with the new developments acquired by PSO in the field of Biofuels. NUST will act as a focal point for integration/evaluation of PSO supplied oil/Biodiesel with the organizations present in the federal territory like hydrocarbon Research Institute. (Nawaid Anjum Zaidi, DGM Renewable Energy)
CES, NUST must play a leading role in the policy formulation of the energy sector. At NUST, we have the best expertise available to supply the intellectual capital needed for an effective think-tank. In the scenario when the country is already facing unprecedented energy and gas crises, NUST would help the country in setting new regulatory performance indicators in fuel consumption as well as reducing tariff and subsidy at large.

The NUST Emblem

The Book of Knowledge lights up the darkness, through the Vine of Wisdom which bears the two moons and stars facing towards the East and the West, symbolising the diversity of disciplines and the fruit of knowledge. The Rising Sun brings change, hope and enlightenment. It emanates inspiration and from the light of knowledge, four birds take wing from the nests of light, and spread out to the four corners of the world, symbolising the quest for spiritual gratification through knowledge and wisdom. The NUST Blue is a colour that represents the future. It carries all the characteristics of the colour blue, like dignity, grace, freshness, professionalism, prudence and resolve.
