Pakistan Navy Engineering College (PNEC) (www.pnec.edu.pk) welcomes you to the only constituent college of National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) at Karachi with a progressive vision for your future academic goals. PNEC has established a professional reputation for excellence in teaching and research because of its high academic standards, highly qualified faculty and state-of-the-art academics related facilities available to students and faculty. HISTORY The genesis of Pakistan Navy Engineering College (PNEC) lies in the Officers’ Training Section (OTS) which was established in 1962 as part of PNS KARSAZ, sailor's training establishment. In 1966, the status of OTS was upgraded to that of a college and named Pakistan Navy Engineering College. The same year it got affiliated with the University of Karachi. In 1977, the affiliation of PNEC was transferred to NED University of Engineering & Technology. The college was shifted to its present location in 1982 and commissioned as an independent Unit of Pakistan Navy namely PNS JAUHAR. It became a constituent college of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in November 1995. ROLE The primary role of PNEC is to produce Quality Engineers for Pakistan Navy and Private Sector. To achieve this, it conducts degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical, Naval Architecture and MS/PhD degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical, Naval Architecture and Cyber Security. These courses are also availed by other Defense Services and friendly countries. Since 1987, civilian students are also being enrolled in these courses each year. Apart from BE and MS/PhD degree courses, the college also provides specialized mid-career courses for PN technical officers after they have obtained competency certificate onboard PN Ships. These include Marine Engineering Systems Management Course and Weapons Engineering Systems Management Course, specially designed to meet the Service requirements of the officers in their career. PNEC putting all out efforts has remained dedicated towards Outcome-Based Education (OBE); a new system as an educational theory that is based around goals (outcomes). By the end of the degree, each student achieves the goal for a better learning experience. PEC has also introduced Washington Accord in the educational system giving international representation to the degree holders. QUALITY POLICY Pakistan Navy Engineering College is committed to deliver Quality Education in various Engineering / Management Information System UG & PG Degree Programmes under the guide lines of Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and National Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC) fulfilling the requirements of Naval Headquarters & NUST. The College achieves its objectives through committed leadership, competent staff, and progressive improvement in its educational Programmes. We review our quality policy on annual basis for its suitability, improvement and its effectiveness.
