Life at SMME

It was a fine morning of February, 2014. I got up with a confused mind, inclined towards doing electrical engineering, but at the same time urging me to do mechanical due to its high merit. After a while my cell phone rang, and a wave of happiness spread over my face and my eyes start to glitter.

After half an hour, I was there, in front of the mighty SMME building all set to have the tour under the guidance of Sir Wajid, the head of Manufacturing and Resource Center (MRC), SMME-NUST. I found out that MRC was a workshop, a really big one. The biggest achievement of MRC is electric shuttles. They were manufactured here and are now seen running within the NUST.

SMME holds repute for its Mechanical Engineering which in fact is best in Pakistan. Since it is newly established, it has modern labs fully equipped with all the the required instruments and machines. Bigger class rooms, well equipped labs and highly educated faculty, makes the environment congenial for research and studies. Its dream institute for students willing to pursue carrier in mechanical and manufacturing.

SMME arranges Industrial visits for students to renowned industries on regular basis. The main objective behind these visits is to explain the working of industrial equipment in running conditions to the students and tell them about the expectations of the industrialists from the fresh engineers.

SMME also has strong relations with many other national and international companies including Schlumberger, PIA, Uniliver Pakistan, Coca-Cola Pakistan. Due to these strong ties,  SMME was able to arrange summer internships for all the students who have completed their first four semesters of Mechanical Engineering.

Schlumberger is the world's leading supplier of technology, integrated project management and information solutions to customers working in the oil and gas

SMME is the only institute in Pakistan certified by National Instruments(NI) USA as NI Lab view Academy. The school has certified NI faculty and has state of the art hardware with some of the equipment donated by NI (USA). Lubrizol is an oil additive company mainly conducting research in the area of Engine Lubricants. SMME convinced Lubrizol for a joint project in the field of engine tribology. Lubrizol has also provided the hardware for research on the Mercedes Benz OM464 engine. Similarly the school has strong ties with BP/Castrol, who have provided SMME with equipment worth millions of rupee for research porposes including AUDI 1.9l engine. As part of bilateral collaboration between Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok and NUST-SMME, both institutions will be exchanging faculty and students with an aim to establish strong linkages in both academics and research.

So long and short of this is, you will be in safe hands in case you are lucky enough to get admission in SMME. Grading of SMME is also very lenient, so you need not to worry about grades.

There are many societies at SMME including American Society of Mechanical Engineering(ASME), Dice, Ashrae. Participation in the societies help you in your personal grooming.
