Electrical and Electronics Engineering
courses are almost invariably offered by all the engineering universities
of the country, but the need was felt for introducing a practically
oriented course in this field. Thus the need of establishing the
Institute of Industrial Electronics Engineering was felt by the
Government of Pakistan and the task was assigned to the Ministry
of Science & Technology and PCSIR.
In 1985 a study mission of Swiss
experts were invited to Pakistan and it was identified that Pakistan
needs practical oriented engineers particularly in the field of
industrial electronics engineering. The Swiss Government offered
to establish an Industrial Electronics Institute and agreement of
cooperation was signed in this regard.
The present location was selected
for building institute, while the cost of building, the infrastructure,
provision of utilities etc. were borne by the Ministry of Science
and Technology through PCSIR. All the equipment for establishing
laboratories and three experts were provided by the Swiss Government.
PCSIR recruited the faculty staff to support the academic/administrative
activities.
