It includes objectives & learning outcomes, course contents, scheme of studies, teaching methodologies and assessment methods. Since knowledge in all disciplines and fields is expanding at a fast pace and new disciplines are also emerging; it is imperative that curricula be developed and revised accordingly. University Grants Commission (UGC) was designated as the competent authority to develop, review and revise curricula beyond Class-XII vide Section 3, Sub-Section 2 (ii), Act of Parliament No. X of 1976 titled “Supervision of Curricula and Textbooks and Maintenance of Standard of Education”. With the repeal of UGC Act, the same function was assigned to the Higher Education Commission (HEC) under its Ordinance of 2002, Section 10, Sub-Section 1 (v). In compliance with the above provisions, the Curriculum Division of HEC undertakes the revision of curricula after every three years through respective National Curriculum Revision Committees (NCRCs) which consist of eminent professors and researchers of relevant fields from public and private sector universities, R&D organizations, councils, industry and civil society by seeking nominations from their organizations. In order to impart quality education which is at par with international standards, HEC NCRCs have developed unified templates as guidelines for the development and revision of curricula in the disciplines of Basic Sciences, Applied Sciences, Social Sciences, Agriculture and Engineering in 2007 and 2009. It is hoped that this curriculum document, prepared by the respective NCRC’s, would serve the purpose of meeting our national, social and economic needs, and it would also provide the level of competency specified in Pakistan Qualification Framework to make it compatible with international educational standards. The curriculum is also placed on the website of HEC (www.hec.gov.pk). (Fida Hussain) Director General (Academics) CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS 
Introduction: The role of science and engineering in the economic development of a nation and the prosperity of its people is very important and it is imperative for a nation to train its workforce in contemporary science and engineering. At the same time, knowledge is expanding rapidly and new courses and disciplines are emerging at a fast pace. In the light of this situation, it is essential to periodically review and update the science and engineering curricula to stay at par with the international standards. The Higher Education Commission (HEC) ensures that the curricula are reviewed and updated periodically through National Curriculum Revision Committees. The National Curriculum Revision Committee (NCRC) on Electronic Engineering held two meetings in 2014 and 2015 to revise the electronic engineering curriculum that was prepared in 2008. In April 2007, the Higher Education Commission approved the new engineering curriculum framework. The National Curriculum Revision Committee held a meeting in November 2014 to bring the electronic engineering curriculum in line with the new framework. The committee held its final meeting in April 2015 at the Higher Education Commission in Islamabad for a final review and approval of the curriculum. The committee, after a thorough review, approved the curriculum in the meeting. Minutes of the Meeting Held in November 2014 A meeting of the National Curriculum Revision Committee (NCRC) on Electronic Engineering took place on November 24 to 26 2014, at the Regional Centre of the Higher Education Commission in Karachi. The objective of the meeting was to revise the electronic engineering curriculum for bringing it in line with the BS Engineering Program framework approved by HEC in April 2007. The following members of the committee were present in the meeting:
The meeting started with the recitation of the Holy Quran. Mr. Riaz-ul-Haque, Assistant Director (Curriculum), HEC, Islamabad, welcomed the participants on behalf of the Chairman HEC and briefed the participants on the policies of HEC and PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) about the revision of the engineering curricula in the light of the BS Engineering Program framework. The house unanimously selected Prof. Muhammad Junaid Mughal, Professor, Department of Electrical Engineering, COMSATS Institute of Information Technology, Chak Shahzad, Islamabad as Convener & Dr. Faisal Amir, Assistant Professor, Dean Faculty of Electronics & Power Engineering Department, NUST-PNEC, National University of Sciences and Technology, Karachi as Secretary of the meeting.

He further said that the key considerations in the engineering education should be to give the students a strong engineering foundation, improve their communication skills, develop and promote problem-solving and self-learning skills, and expose the students to the social sciences. The committee, after in-depth discussions, revised the electronic engineering curriculum and brought it in line with the approved BS Engineering Program framework. The Committee revisited the curriculum subject-wise. After three days of rigorous deliberations, the committee unanimously proposed the outlines of the draft curriculum for the BS/BE/BSc & MS/ME/MSc degrees, which will be considered in the final meeting of NCRC scheduled within three months’ time.
