Software Engineering

The Department is a PEC-accredited department committed to maintaining high academic and professional standards in engineering education. The curriculum of the BSc. (Software Engineering) degree has been developed with a strong commitment to producing competent female engineers from the country’s first Women University. The Department follows the criteria set by the HEC in curriculum design while incorporating the guidelines and recommendations of the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), along with valuable input from stakeholders including alumni and employers.

Software Engineering Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)  
To lay down the foundation of OBE system in Department of Software Engineering, it had defined four PEOs to fulfil the vison and mission of the department, in 2020 and revised PEOs in 2025. Within 3 to 5 years of graduation, the female engineers with bachelors in software engineering are expected to attain the following PEOs.    
PEO 1– Professional Competence
Female engineers will demonstrate professional competence by effectively applying software engineering principles and analytical skills to develop software solutions that meet professional and organizational standards.
PEO 2 – Research and Innovation
Female software engineers will contribute to technological advancement by either pursuing research and higher education or by applying innovative problem-solving skills in professional practice to address industrial and real-world challenges.
PEO 3 – Ethics, Leadership, and Social Responsibility
Female engineers will uphold professional ethics, demonstrate teamwork and leadership in their organizations, and engage in community or professional initiatives that promote technology for the public good.
PEO 4 – Professional Growth
Female Engineers will actively pursue professional growth through certifications, and emerging technology trainings, demonstrating adaptability to evolving industry needs and contributing to sustainable digital future.
