THE ALIGARH Institute of Technology (AIT), Karachi was established in 1989 with the efforts of Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys’ Association.
It is planned to be a big Polytechnic institute for boys and girls to provide, in phases, theoretical and practical courses of instructions in a number of technologies leading to the Diploma of Associate Engineers (DAE) of Sindh Board of Technical Education.
The courses in Electronics Technology and Computer Science were started in 1989. The course in Secretarial Technology was introduced from the session beginning from July 1991. A Certificate course of Proficiency in Word Processing was introduced in the session 1995.
Education and training in Electronics has, therefore, been introduced in a big way in almost every country of the world.
The scheme of studies of Electronics includes, among other things, the subject like Electrical & Electronics networks, Motors & Generators, Radio Transmitters & Receivers, Industrial Electronics, Microprocessors & Micro-Computers, Telecommunication Systems covering such aspects as F.M. Links , Fibre Optics, Satellite Communication, Microwave , Radar ,etc.
The advancement in medical science and the extensive use of electronic gadgetry led to the pursuit to enlarge the scope of learning new disciplines in order to keep pace with ever developing field of medical science.
The increasing demand to combat the most fatal scourge of humanity i.e. the disease , have prompted to start this course. This course will also fulfill the aspirations of those unfortunate students who could not study the medical science at an appropriate time and are now willing to join, at a later stage , a course in the health sector. In this way they, as Associate Engineer in Bio-Medical Technology, will become essential component of a highly notable profession.
The scheme of studies include the subjects like Electrical and Electronic Networks, Fundamentals of Bio-Medical Equipment & interfaces, Solid State Electronics, Industrial Electronics , Digital Electronics , Radiation Physics , X-Ray Film Processing Equipment. Human Anatomy & Physiology, ECG, Ultrasound & THerapeutic Bio-Medical Equipment maintenance, Computers Applications in Bio-Medical Engineering, etc.The Aligarh Old Boys Association has been making consistent efforts to assess the futuristic needs of Technical Education in Pakistan. Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology accorded affiliation to 3 year degree programme in Computer Science and BCS classes were started in April 1998. Now this programme is upgraded to four year BS degree in computer Science.
The curriculum of the programme is the same as is recognized and approved by the Higher Education Commission for the BS(CS) degrees of other Universities of Pakistan.
The courses and examinations are conducted under close supervision of Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology, which awards the degree after successful completion of the programme.
The Computer Science Department that functions within the premises of Aligarh Institute of Technology (AIT), is one of the larger departments of Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology. Currently it has more than 350 registered undergraduate students in its four years BS(CS) Degree Program.
The department maintains well equipped Computing Laboratories and support staff, where the students have full access to a wide array of hardware, software and other facilities. Graduates of the BS(CS) department are regularly hired by the leading companies of the world such as Microsoft. Cisco Systems, General Electric. Alcatel, Siemens and Philips to name only a few. The local software and hardware industry accepts the graduates of our BS(CS) department as valuable human resource. The students of the department regularly participate in national and local level software competitions and win prizes and awards.
Master of Science in Computer Science Degree Program of the university provides the students with an opportunity to enhance their knowledge, skills, and experience to become successful practitioners and leaders in the field of Computer Science.
The Program is designed to prepare the students to pursue their careers as Computer Science professionals. It is suitable for students with a background in computing, but it provides an opportunity for those who lack degrees in Computer Science, to complete a sequence of courses to prepare themselves for induction in the regular MS Degree Program.
The Program is organized to enhance students' understanding of the theories, concepts and practices of computer science, enabling them to develop new skills and competencies.
