involved, and how will the identified units work together in delivering the
program? (Attach any document on support from all units involved.)
Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar
disciplines or from other branches of the same field?
The Five years Doctor of occupational Therapy (DOT) Degree in program has
been designed for meeting the demand of the growing needs of experts in the
fields of Occupational theray.DOT will be sustainable because of the ever
growing need to its services in physical, mental and psychiatric areas and over
the life span from pediatrics to geriatrics. In Pakistani population, there are
limited numbers of occupational therapists that are currently practicing and
are educated only at a BSc level guarantees that the program will attract
students immediately and in the long run. This program will fulfill the demand
of field of Allied health professions.
Summarize your conclusions about the need and the demand for the program.
• The need for program was assessed from input the field experts and
industry and prospective/current candidates.
For the general course is designed to train students in the operation theatre,
CCU, Post-Operative rooms as well as in the operation and maintenance of
theatre equipments and hospital pipeline system as the success of the
procedures and safety of patients depend largely on the reliability, smooth and
trouble free performance of these equipments. It is presented that though
only two institutes whose are offering this degree, King Edward University and
University of health sciences. Conversely graduates of both universities are not
sufficient, less than demand. So an immense number of potential candidates
are present and willing to get enrolled in BSOTT (Four years program).
How will we assess whether we are meeting our goals and objectives – i.e.,
how will we gather information and how will we use it?
What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
• This interactive degree is designed to help students build their knowledge
leadership and training skills in occupational therapies.
What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards
from professional or regulatory bodies?
We’ll deliver and promote the activities which fulfill the requirement and goals
set by the professional or regulatory bodies as well.
How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning
outcomes?
Does this program include a senior level project, where students demonstrate
mastery of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
1- Occupational therapy (OT) is a major member of any Rehabilitation
Team and a significant role player in any health care set up. A short list
of all areas of OT contribution to the health and well-being of the society
has been provided in the proposal.
2- OT has been neglected in both education and practice aspects in
Pakistan and is far behind international standards.
3- OT, in its current status (only BSc) has been unfairly pushed back by
other health care programs that are currently offered at doctoral level in
the University of Lahore, hence appearing unattractive to students and a
DOT program will resolve this issue.
The existing available assessment plan will fulfill the required assessment or as
per university policy.
How do the required courses align with the student learning outcomes to
ensure students can build and refine skills and knowledge over time? Has the
curriculum been mapped?
The Internet has the potential to change the in DOT research and services are
provided. In recent years, the computer industry has made dramatic gains in
the development of the Internet and other computer technology. As would be
expected, occupational therapists are taking advantage of these
improvements, and are developing new and innovative ways of using this
technology to further their professional development. This technology is now
being used to improve communication and the dissemination of information
among professionals, students and laypersons.
The new class technologies in alien with technologies in the field are:
Through the use of secure web sites, our institution can allow students to
access course assignments, read, listen to or watch lectures on specific
topics, ask questions, receive guidance, and turn in course
assignments. Furthermore, the Internet can also be used to access domain
specific specialists in distant locations for supervision opportunities.

I. Overview:
Program Title: Bachelor of Science in Bio-medical Engineering
Departmental Contact:
• Is this program interdisciplinary in nature? If so, what are the fields of study involved, and how
will the identified units work together in delivering the program? (Attach any document on
support from all units involved.)
Yes it is interdisciplinary and permission letter is attached
• Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar disciplines or
from other branches of the same field?
• Is it a broad, general program or will it focus on one specialization? Does it offer more than
one option?
It is a specialized field, In practice, it involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and patient
monitoring through implants such as pacemakers, artificial joints, limbs to the computer simulations
of biological functions.
• What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
• Bio-medical Engineering focuses on health issues, aging populations around the world,
growing expectations of the delivery of better medical devices and equipments designed by
Bio-Medical Engineers. Employment of Bio-Medical Engineers is expected to grow fast than
all occupations globally. This growing field needs immediate attention by government of
Pakistan.
• It is a specialized field, In practice, it involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and
patient monitoring through implants such as pacemakers, artificial joints, limbs to the
computer simulations of biological functions.
Yes the outcomes are observable and measureable as students will be doing practical
work which can easily be observed as well as measured.
• Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards from
professional or regulatorybodies?
• This is achieved by a focus of the following three university themes:
• Theme 1: to be forward thinking in the design of the program in supporting lifelong
learning and anticipating and responding to changes in demand and need, providing
vibrant and challenging learning opportunities
• Theme 2: to enhance students’ learning experience, making assessment activities,
support and feedback a powerful integrated feature of learning
• Theme 3: to introduce a comprehensive professional development framework that
improves practice and promotes excellence in learning, teaching and assessment
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning outcomes?
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning outcomes?
To ensure this there will be periodically assessment programs like presentation,
weekly tests, and practical demonstrations, mid and final term examinations
There is a variety of assessments used within the course to facilitate assessment for
learning. Tutor marked assessments and feedback will be offered as soon as possible
to facilitate future submissions. The team recognize that not only do students learn
from tutors but also that they value the input from other students. There is a reliance
on tutors that is matched by the peer assessment and the self-assessment that will be a
part of some subjects. Being able to be self-critical and constructively critical of peers
is a major step in becoming a professional. These skills are used within the
assessment process to shape the students' thinking processes as they are skills
needed for the "real life "situations that they will be in when working in clinical
practice. Thus the assessment strategies employed are intended to facilitate real life
situations and to boost learning. Summative assessment strategies used will facilitate
personal and professional learning and development. Assessments will provoke
students to challenge existing concepts and ideas, to allow reflection upon their
practice, to review, critically analyze current research and literature developing an
awareness of how it informs and relates to evidence-based clinical practice, and
to demonstrate their professional skill base. A variety and balance of assessment
methods and tools are employed during the course, assessing cognitive,
psychomotor and affective domains, and providing students with effective
learning opportunities and enabling them to be assessed appropriately at master level.
• Attendance: It is expected that they will be in attendance unless they are
prevented from doing so by illness or some other domestic or personal
emergency. Records of attendance will be kept for practice learning activities
and action will be taken where attendance issues arise.
• Academic Performance: The outcomes of the assessment process will be available
to the student at the end of each semester see table below
Initial core subjects form the basis of the learning and act to offer a firm foundation
for future study. The range of assessments has been designed to fulfil the
subject learning outcomes and go beyond the perception of "what do I need to do
to pass”
• Does this program include a senior level project, where students demonstratemastery
of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
• Yes, program involves a research project at the end. This project is essentially an
individual, self-directed piece of work. The contents of which will be specific to the
professional area and interests. Student will be expected to demonstrate a knowledge
base relevant to the topic of interest as well as knowledge and understanding of
appropriate methodologies. Student will be advised appropriately about the necessity
of obtaining ethical and scientific approval for their projects. These are examples of
the content that the project will need to include:
• • Abstract
• • Literature review
• • Justification for project
• • Aim of project
• • Methodology, with justification
• • Results
• • Discussion of results with reflection on previous relevant findings
• • Conclusion
• • References

• Fostering societal awareness of the value of our expertise
The mission of the Sports Sciences and Physical Education program at The
University of Lahore is to critically engage students with a broad spectrum of field
perspectives, drawing on a range of research and applied methodologies in physical
education and sports. Founded on an academically rigorous knowledge base, studies
focus on the impact that research has on applied practice.
We want to develop and focus the urgent and important need to educate sports and
physical education professionals by providing higher education to promote research
in order to initiate a life-style change among the local population towards a healthier
life. Moreover to supply specialized human resource in the sports industry to revive
and revitalize the declining position of sports on the field as well in academia.
By providing best teaching practices, research oriented activities and better sports
facilities, this program will lead and fulfill the required objectives.
3. Program Description

• Describe the nature and focus of this program.
The nature of the program will be to equip the students with contemporary and
advance concepts of Sports Sciences and Physical Education with direct or indirect
application to physical fitness and athletic conditioning. PhD is a research degree
hence the major focus would be to develop advance research skills, critical thinking
and systematics for long term solutions to the problem in our society. In this regards
students would be required to undertake comprehensive research work in the form
of thesis. It further will familiarize the students to perform health and wellness
program based upon the ability to assess needs, and to design, implement, and
evaluate a complete project.
• Is this program interdisciplinary in nature? If so, what are the fields of study
involved, and how will the identified units work together in delivering the
program?
• Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar
disciplines or from other branches of the same field?
As stated earlier, the program is careful blend of Social Sciences and Physical
Education, encompassing the contemporary ideology of physical education in
general and practically infusing it with sports sciences and its social aspects. The
program will generate the context of recognizing cultural diversity; representations
of the human body; learning the impact of social, economic, and political forces;
experiencing exercise, sport and allied health settings.

4. Demand for the Program
The demand of the program can be evaluated in two perspective; the market supply
and demand of the students.
As for the first perspective, there are very few higher education institutes in the
whole country that offer PhD in Sports Sciences and Physical Education. The
University of Sindh, Jamshoro is one. Other than that such program is either non-
existent in in the first place or is in its initial stages of being launched, and that too is
for faculty development. Conclusively, there is wide gap present in academia market
that would welcome the launch of this program.
Secondly, about 20-25 of our pioneer batch students of MPhil Sports Sciences and
Physical Education are passing out in Spring-2017, they are willing and looking
forward to the launch of the this program.
• The program will train the students to understand and master advance research
and analysis skills.
• The program will introduce the students to the advance statistical analyses and
inferences to strengthen the physiological basis for exercise and physical activity
in direct application to physical fitness and athletic conditioning.
• The program will facilitate the students to learn contemporary fitness testing and
prescribe & administer exercise programs.
• The program will familiarize the students to the modern concepts of health and
wellness programs while applying advance measurement and evaluation
techniques for designing, implementing, and evaluating a project.
• The program will enable the students to analyze the social settings, propose and
execute an event management strategy and turn it into a lucrative business
opportunity.
• The program would provide an opportunity to the student to critically asses
physical activity (including sports) using a biomechanical, psychological,
sociological, pedagogical or physiological approach.
7
• What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
The program will facilitate the student’s problem solving skills, creative thinking
and synthesizing information for integrative solutions. Further, it would
- Providing students with the knowledge, skill, and abilities to improve the
health and performances of individuals and communities,
- Preparing leaders for the public and private sectors sports bodies and in the
various subfields,
- By engaging students in sport, exercise and physical activities broad research
topics.
The outcomes the proposed program will be observable and measurable. Theoretic
assessment would be conducted through class assignments, case studies, quizzes,
and examinations with strong focus on research and analysis.
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning
outcomes?
• Does this program include a senior level project, where students demonstrate
mastery of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
This program will include completing a research thesis where students would be
trained to conduct independent research in the area of sports sciences and physical
education. After completing one year of course work the students would be required
to submit a detailed research proposal in 3rd and 4th semester. a course for
preparation of Research Synopsis in the 7th semester and then undertake
research/thesis in the 8th semester. Further students would be required to
demonstrate mastery of the learning outcomes and research skills. The program will
introduce the students to criticize information: with internet and web-based
technology while collecting, analyzing and preparing data for presentation.

It was decided that there will be two separate programs a) MS/MPhil and b) PhD. Students will
register in two separate program and this will not be mistaken for MPhil leading to PhD.
2) Admission Criteria
's
The admission test for MS/lvIPhil will be a written tesi and an interview. The written test wilt be
developed by the SISS faculty followed by an interview of the selected candidates.
4) Language Courses
It was suggested, that non-credit mandatory short but intensive language course in German,
Chinese, Turkish and Persian will be offered to the students in summer. The idea was appreciated
and approved by the Board.
t: s) Fee Structure
r
t Fee structure witl be finalized after a detailed comparative review of different private and public
sector universities' fee structure for sirnilar programs.
Thesis
Thesis will be compulsory for all registered students and will not be encouraged to be substituted
by course work. Issue might be decided on case to case basis should the need arise.
Eligibility
It was decided that admission will only be granted to those with a CGPA of at least 3.0 on a 4.0
scate. SISS will formulate its own test in accordance with the guidelines of HEC'
3) Language Courses
It was approved that non-credit mandatory intensive language course in Gennan, Chinese,
Turkish and,Persian will be offered to the students in summer (Wo sessions - 3 months each).
4) Skill enhancement
:) It was suggested by Ms. Arooj Arshad that a course on skill enhancement should be introduced to
enhance the research skills of the students. The board approved skill enhancement to be part of
the Advanced Research Methodology course instead of a separate course.
The scheme of studies for MS/MPhil in IR and PhD in lR was approved by the Board of Studies.

process of filing an application to obtain a NoC by the HEC to start new graduate programs
and the deadline for which is Marcl-r 31st,2017.
Dr. Akhtar apprised the members that SISS has the required number of PhD faculty (3 at
present) to launch graduate degree programs.
Dr. Akhtar presented the salient features of the scheme of the studies of the two years
MS/MPhil progranl, details of core and optional courses, degree credits (24 taught credits
and 6 research thesis credits) and tl're admission criteria as per the HEC guidelines.
Dr. Akhtar informed the house that as per HEC guidelines, if a student does not want to
undefiake research thesis then the equivalent of two courses (3 credits each) should be
available to the student as an option. But for anyone who rvants to enroll in the PhD
program. However, registering for six credit hours (2 courses) to replace the thesis would
qualify for the MS degree.
Tlie proposed MS/MPhil curriculum by SISS offers students a non-credit mandatory course
to learn a foreign language. Students will have the option to choose one language from the
four offered: Mandarin, Turkish, Persian and German.
l
Prof. Dr. Khawaja Alqama appreciated the division of optional courses into four major
)
gror-rpings as proposed Area Studies: International Security, International Law ald
International Political Economy. Prof. Alqama also emphasized that the selected language
shourld provide students an edge in their careers abroad and perhaps Arabic language could
be offered since the proposed Persian langr-rage is spoken in a small geographic location in
comparison to Arabic which is spoken in the entire Middlg East. Prof. Asghar Nadeem
Syed silpported this point of view of adding Arabic language to the proposed list of
languages. He further emphasized that in addition to leaming new languages, regularly
taught languages like English and Urdu are also not learned well by students. Therefore,
while command on Erlglish language is a must for students enrolling in research graduate
degrees, Urdu should also be promoted and taught at the graduate level.
Prof. Dr. Ali Sajid proposed additional courses for English language in Zero semester to
be taught as a required course for those weak in English.
Dr. Noor Hayat emphasized that point further by suggesting that tl're English language
course should be mandatory instead of zero semester or non-credit so that it is taken
seriously by the students.
Prof. Dr. Ijaz Qureshi informed the house that UoL was considering starting mandatory
zero semesters for both English and Math from Fall 2017 semester.
Prof. Dr. Naheed Sultana emphasized that quality niust be ensured at the time of the
admission in the graduate program. However, she advised that the expectation on getting
good students should not be so high given the overall inadequate standards of
education/teaching at the undergraduate level which leads to certain programs
compromising on the quality of students to maintain intake.
Maj. Gen (R) Zahid Mubashar Sheikh appreciated the quality of the content proposed

and detailed course briefs.
Dr. Aslam Ch. raised the concern about similarity of the course titles in MPhil and PhD
program. He suggested that the differentiation of advanced courses at PhD level was a
must and perhaps some titles can be revised to reflect the advanced level. He also
suggested to add an advanced course on theory in the PhD program. To this point Dr.
Rabia Akhtar suggested that it was a mistake on her part while preparing the draft of the
proposed curriculum since theory is taught at all levels and would be taught as a core
cgurse at the PhD level as well. She thanked Prof. Aslam for bringing this omission into

CURRICULUM
MS/MPHIL IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Scope of the MS/MPhil and PhD in International Relations Degree: Market, Social and
Employment Perspective
MS/MPhil and PhD in International Relations graduate can join the academia to teach in a
university setting. One advantage of an academic and research career, whether at a teaching-
oriented institution or a large research university, is intellectual freedom. One can spend a career
approaching a variety of topics that are interesting and constantly evolving, that may involve travel
abroad for fieldwork, and that may let you network with hundreds of colleagues interested in
similar topics. Most research positions (e.g., in think tanks) are different in two respects. First,
these jobs often give more direction to an individual in terms of the research to be performed.
Second, there is little or no teaching involved. Still, for those interested in IR research, such jobs
can result in a wider dissemination of one‟s work to a broader audience that often includes policy
makers.
Having graduated with MS/MPhil and PhD in International relations, graduates can avail job
opportunities in both government and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs). Many employees
of IGOs or governments thrive on making decisions that influence policies. Both work
environments also attract coworkers with deep interests in international affairs, and the resulting
networks of contracts can bring professional and intellectual rewards.
Graduates of International Relations discipline with MS/MPhil and PhD degrees can join various
NGOs who work on social issues inside Pakistan as well as abroad. The curriculum designed for
IR graduates with advanced research degrees, gears them towards taking up job opportunities that
NGOs offer for example politics or policy work, lobbying for political organizations, social and
political activism or education related work.
IR graduates are trained in courses that provide them a perspective on how media is influenced by
politics. They also bring their foreign policy analysis training to their jobs which usually provides
a wholesome perspective on analyzing international affairs. Jobs in media could range from
political analyst, defense analyst, anchor of talk show in the electronic media, column/op-ed
writers for print media, blogging on social media and other similar outlets.
IR graduates at University of Lahore graduating with MS/MPhil and PhD degree will be studying
a foreign language of their choice from the options offered. This will give them an edge over all
other graduates graduating from the same discipline in Pakistan. Language opens doors not only
for careers that require language skills for example working with embassies as an interpreter or
with the intelligence agencies but also provides graduates with opportunities to apply for post-doc
and research opportunities outside Pakistan.
This list provided above is not exhaustive. There are many other fields that are open to IR graduates
which are not listed here but can be explored which include: career in research with law related
organizations, human and civil rights organizations, environmental and climate change related
advocacy programs and international development bodies to name a few.

The Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (BSIT) program offers an
interdisciplinary curriculum focusing on Information Technology and Computer Science. In
addition, the program is unique in that it merges traditional academic topics with leading
edge and current IT practices and technology.
The overarching goal of the program is to prepare students with broad, integrated IT
knowledge including communications, computer networking, computer-based systems,
database management, software development, website development, digital media and
electronic publishing. Students learn how to evaluate current and emerging technologies;
identify user needs; design user-friendly interfaces; apply, configure and manage
technologies; and assess the impact of technologies on individuals, organizations and society.
Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar
disciplines or from other branches of the same field?
The BSIT rely in computing domain. From abstract perspective, Computer science and
Information technology may be similar for novice users but technically both are different.
Most Computer Science graduates become software developers or Web programmers.
Computer Science education prepare the students to choose the correct design patterns,
algorithms and data structures for programs. However; The IT graduates acquire necessary
skills in information security, network architecture, database administration, systems
administration and computer support. In general, IT professionals need to stay abreast of new
technology and they must be very familiar with how to use operating systems, networks,
servers and software. Computer scientists should enjoy mathematics and software design
4
while IT professionals should enjoy installing computer systems, using software, maintaining
networks and databases.
Is it a broad, general program or will it focus on one specialization? Does it offer more
than one option?
It is a broad program with multiple specialization areas. The program encompasses many
sub-domains of computing such as computer networks, data mining, software engineering,
human computer interaction, databases and web-systems as summarized in figure 2.

growth. It includes mathematics, probability and statistics, and other related areas
such as electronics.
Mid-term and final-term exam are a compulsory part of all cluster courses. In addition,
students are required to complete a final year project. In final year project, students give
solution of a real life problem related to IT.
Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards from
professional or regulatory bodies?
Yes, the program objectives and students’ learning outcomes are carefully designed to reflect
the objectives and learning outcomes of the BSIT program conducted in other well-reputed
universities in the world.

Vision
“To create an economic environment that cultivate life-long learning by imparting education based
on analytical and critical thinking that produces graduates exhibiting leadership qualities to serve the
society with the highest level of integrity and civic responsibilities, by following modern curricula and
focusing on creation of innovative research with an aim to place itself in the forefront of national
research universities”.
Mission
The University of Lahore is a private sector university committed to the tradition of service to the
society. Our objectives are:
• To advance knowledge through creative research and divulge knowledge across a wide
range of academic disciplines.
• To extend and disseminate knowledge through innovative different educational programs
build on strong foundations in which graduating scholars are motivated and well trained for
leadership qualities, responsible citizens and service to the society
• To apply knowledge to provide solutions for emerging issues in order to improve the welfare
of the society and enrich economic welfare of the nation, and rest of the world.
“At LBS we are committed to provide the best business education, cultivate research culture
and focus on strong industrial linkages.
We aim to produce leaders both for high tech businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. In
order to accomplish these, we strive to create challenging academic environment with a
view to transform students’ personality and make them a decent professional and caring
human being”.
Mission of theDepartment
“The Department offers high quality of education with the focus on research excellence,
develop ethical norms, neat challenges of diversified culture and foster demand drive
education for all. Provide purposeful education and training to enhance analytical ability of
the students to elucidate contemporary economic problems, divulge independent and
creative thinking to enable students for life time learning, which leads to fruitful outcomes
and valuable contributions at national, as well as, international level in the economics
sphere. Out graduates are envisage to lead the nation in their areas of specialization, moral
values, as well as, professional ethics.”
3
Describe how this proposed program will complement or mirror these missions.
Presently, the department has two full time professors, one Assistant Professor and one Lecturer.
Besides, there is also one research Assistant who can teach undergraduate courses. The new emerging
need will be fulfilled by new hiring and adjunct faculty. Demand for new faculty is given in this request
(See next pages). The competent authority has agreed for new hiring, as per need arises. The programs
offered are as given below.
• The department of Economics is presently offering MSc. Economics, M.Phil. and PhD in
Economics. This program is an undergraduate program which will provide support to our
graduate programs. Besides, it will help to produce undergraduates with special training
in the areas of economics and finance.
• This program will provide a strong base for our graduate level programs in economics.
Particularly, it will provide well trained students who can embark upon advance level
education. Presently, we are not getting well trained students for our graduate level
programs. We have to train them before they can meet our standard. We want to offer
this program in the old campus. Later on, it may also be introduced in the other
campuses of the University of Lahore. Thus, it will support our other branches of the
university; in different cities. We want to culminate this effort by achieving the goal of
becoming one of the leading institutions which focuses on producing human capital in
different sub areas of economics and finance; not only for national institutes and
department but also for rest of the world.
The proposed program will help us to reach the destiny by widening our scope and training at the
foundation level. It will cover major areas of economics like; economic theory, public sector
economics, development economics, international economics, econometrics, Monetary
economic, institutional economics and environmental economics. This degree will be popular for
providing jobs to the student in the areas of international institutions and organization, public
4
sector, NGO’s academia and banking sector. High standard of education will be maintained;
which will not be compromised. As a result our degree program will be competitive to other
national and international universities new emerging areas like institutional Economics and
environmental economics will also be a part of this program. Our faculty will be fully utilized by
introducing this program at undergraduate level. It will also help us to strengthen research
capabilities of the department. The students will also benefit to work with the faculty on applied
emerging economic issues, which is one of the strong aspects of our degree programs. Senior
students will be engaged in research project, which will help the students to get practical
experience and exposure to research.
3. Program Description
In addition to general areas of specialization, this program will also be focused on Environmental
Economics and Institutional Economics; which is much in demand. Besides, concentration will
also be on: (i) To develop strong background of students in hard core economic theory, which
help the students for their specialization (ii)With the strong economics background, students will
be well trained to study new and wide range of areas of specialization and they will also develop
applied approach to solve economic issues, as well as contribute in policy formulation. Such
background and specialization is hardly addressed in other universities. Thus, this program will
offer more than traditional courses. As a result, it is expected that this program will be popular
and attract students.
Although, the University of Lahore is regarded as leading private institute, but the department
of economics being a new department has gained its importance due to quality education,
challenging curricula and friendly environment for research. This year, due to similar features
and popularity of our programs, we will double enrollment in our M.Phil.Program. We are
attracting outstanding students to our PhD Program too. This new undergraduate program will
further strengthen our graduate programs to;by providing well trained undergraduate students.
It will also help to fill in the gap in the market for competent and well trained graduates. Hardly
any university, in Pakistan is offering such unique program i.e., strong foundation of economics
and then specialization in new emerging areas; with applied curriculum and strong research
foundation.
5
Within what discipline does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar discipline or from
other branches of the same field?
The program falls in the main domain of faculty of business and economics. There is hardly any
such program which produces specialized scholars in the new area in this discipline. Different
institutions do produce students with specialization in general areas; such specialized graduates
are produced by almost all the institutes where this subject is taught, like economics
departments of different universities. However, such students are not well trained for embarking
upon policy formulation and analytical ability to address emerging issues in these new areas(s).
Besides, these institutions hardly concentrate to teach and apply econometrics which is very
important for forecasting and sound research, budgeting, forecasting and policy guidelines. .
Under this program, we will also train students in econometrics, environmental economics and
institutional economics. It is expected that these students, with new specialization, will be well
placed in the market. It will also help us to emerge as leading instate in these areas.
IS it a broad, general program or will it focus on one specialization? Does it offer more than on
option?
Yes the students can specialize in more than one areas of specialization. Major areas offered for
specialization will be given below:
i)Public sector economics & finance ii ) International economics, trade , finance and
globalization iii) Monetary economics iv) Development economics
v) Econometricsvi) Environmental economics vii) Institutional economics
4. State Need and Students Demand for the Program (expected)
There are no special demand for the program ; except for class rooms and teaching
staff/faculty.
How will we assess whether we are meeting our goals and objectives- i.e., how will we gather
information and how will we use it?
We plan to assess our performance by gathering data by different means as given below.
i) We will collect information from our students for feedback of our current program. The
employability will be accessed in this way. We will keep a track of our graduating
alumni’s and their absorption in public sector department, private organizations and
industry.
6
ii) Withstanding the above, we will be able to evaluate our performance during the course
work by evaluating teaching and students’ feedback for their satisfaction. It will help us
to fine tune our program to cater the emerging challenging job market, forfuture, as well
as needs of the students and their employability.
B. Students Learning
What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
Our students will have a unique strong specialization, which will reflect human capital,as per
market demand; who will meet the emerging challenges in the market.
With strong background in economics, as well as,in quantitative skills and analytical ability, it is
expected that our graduate will be well received in the market. They will contribute to improve
well beings of the people and contribute in the world too.
The program outcomes are measureable. We will develop templates to measure student’s
absorption in the market and their acceptance for further higher education, as well as, for the
private business enterprises and NGO’s.
The quality of education and skills transferred will be measured by evaluation Performa, duly
filled in by the students. Besides, the grade point averages and grade scores will indicate fruits of
our training and hard work.
Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards from professional
or regulatory bodies?
The program is designed by keeping in view to meet the challenges of the market and to improve
upon deficiencies in the curriculum of specialization in in the area(s). Our graduates will have
strong background and training as compared to already graduating students in other
universities. We will offer additional areas for specialization which will be an added component
to our program.
C. Assessment of Students Learning and Student Achievement (resource and sample appended).
How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning outcomes?
Our students will be evaluated by different means like quizzes, homework assignments,
presentations, short surprise tests, research projects, producing reports and research papers, as
well as at least two/three examinations in each semester. The students will also be tested for
application of the knowledge, which they have gained through classrooms and lectures. An
attempt will be made to train students in quantitative methods and econometrics too, which will
enable students to carry out forecasts and guidelines for policy formulation.
7
Does this program a senior level project, where students demonstrate mastery of the learning
outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
This program is a senior level project equivalent to MSc in other disciplines. The students have to
demonstrate Master level (MSc) learning and skills training; particularly apply quantitative
techniques to address problems and challenges. The students will be trained to develop
innovative mind and habit of life time learning skills. This program will also offer an option either
to do internship or to do a project /thesis. In case the student does not opt, for thesis then he/she
must produce a research paper/project, which must be of publishable quality. The goal of the
program is to provide training for research and teaching.
The program will be focused to assess our training in two areas i.e., i) training outcome of
applied economics theory and ii) utilization of skills for analyzing new emerging issues ( by using
quantitative skills) . A separate evaluation of this program will be carried out regularly. The
outcome will help us to further improve the program

build and refine skills and knowledge over time? Has the curriculum been mapped?
The courses will be mapped with the requirements of disciplines. It will be ensured that the students
are trained for analytical and creative thinking. Moreover, they will be able to perform in practical
the knowledge gained, during the courses. At the end student will develop life time learning habit.
If this is an undergraduate program, how have the needs of transfer students been taken account
in planning for it? What arrangements are in place to ensure that pre-requisites readily available?
Academic rules of the University of Lahore will be followed to accept transfer of students. We will be
open for migration of students and willing to absorb them by offering deficiency courses in
summer/regular semesters. The transfer of courses will be allowed after recommendation of the
department/HOD.

This course surveys the history of colonial expansion from the discovery of
the Americas up to the colonization of the Middle East following the end of
the First World War.The course is intended to give students a chronological account of the rise
ofimperialism and the colonial expansion into Latin America, Asia and Africa.While emphasis is
placed on social, political and economic developmentswithin the European nations which
prompted colonial expansion, the primaryfocus is on how the actual colonies were acquired and
the subsequentchanges that took place.The course attempts to provide an essential background to
understanding thehistorical processes by which modern developed nations became developed,
and how the underdeveloped “Third World” originated as part of the samehistorical process.

Course Outlines for Optional Courses (Economics)
BSECON: 510POPULATION ECONOMICS 03 Crs.
This module is designed to provide a basic understanding of humandevelopment and capability approach
to the postgraduate and undergraduatestudents of various disciplines of social sciences. The module
emphasizesthe centrality of human being in development discourse, practice, policy andresearch. It is
argued throughout the module that development is aboutenhancing human freedoms and flourishing
human capabilities. The processof development should enable individuals to act as the agents of change
tolive the kind of life they have reason to value. It is also argued that the publicpolicy needs to respect the
fundamental principles of human development;equity, empowerment, sustainability, and efficiency. The
outline given belowis very extensive, and teachers may select their own areas of interest to
specialize and develop further, according to capabilities and requirements oftheir students.The course is
divided into three main sections. The first section, consisting oftopics 1-3, provides the conceptual
foundations of human development andcapability approach. The section, consisting of topics 4-10,
provides theapplications of the concepts of human development and capability approachto various issues
of development. The third and final section, consisting oftopics 11-12, provides an overview of the policy
29
analysis from the humandevelopment perspective.The structure of this module is based upon the first
textbook on humandevelopment,
An Introduction to the Human Development and Capability
Approach: Freedom and Agency (2009). This textbook is an outcome of aproject by the Oxford Poverty
and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) andis published by the Earthscan Publishers. The textbook is
edited by SeverineDeneulin and Lila Shahani, and several authors have contributed chapters.
The book is an open source document and available at IDRC website.
Course Contents:
1. Ethics and development: Normative framework for development
Normative concerns lie at the heart of development analysis and policy.Development policy and
uncertainty, trade-off, and complexityAny public policy is based on ideas about what matters. Different
kinds ofideas lead to different kinds of actions (e.g. poverty reduction policies dependon how poverty is
conceptualized )The output or impact on wellbeing of any given policy varies depending onthe context of
countries or societies.Concerns for people should come first in social and economic progress

main reasons; 1) income is apoor measure of wellbeing and 2) it masks inequity in the distribution of
income and material consumptionEconomic policies over last three decades have tended to focus more
narrowly on efficiency and growth alone, ignoring equity and publicengagement thus sidelining concerns
for human flourishing. This has resultedin inequities, insecurity and environmental damage

An excellent single textbook for fulfillment of the objectives of the course isHausman and
MacPherson:Economic Analysis, Moral Philosophy, andPublic Policy. Outline below is chosen from
major topic headings. It isstrongly recommended that this course should be taught as widely aspossible,
since it provides ethical and moral foundations currently missingentirely from conventional treatments of
economics. Islamic views couldeasily be added to the topics treated, but this would require additional
workon the part of the instructor. Collective efforts to create resources in thisdirection would be very
useful to create additional interest and motivation, aswell as enhanced learning, among Pakistani
students.1 Ethics and Economics?What Are Moral Questions and How Can They Be Answered? How Is

The agenda-wise decisions on each items and minutes of the meeting are as under:
Dr. Faisal highlighted the issue that the courses registered on university portal are old.
He further proposed that an emai! should be send to all the LBS faculty members for
asking them about 5 to 7 subjepts which they prefer to teach. By doing this, we rvill
have the list of all the courses whose expertise iq available and the same courses will
be moved to portal.
Allmembers of the RPC agreed gn this point.
Following suggestions were proposed by RPC members for irnproving the M.Phil. road map:
Dr. Sajid proposed that the coufse title of 'Organization Theory and Design' should
be reftamed, as in research we focus more on theory rather than design essentials.
Dr. Imran and Dr. Atif propose{ the name Organization Management and Theory.
Dr. Faisal explained his viewpoint on this issue and proposed the subject name
'Organization Theory', on which all members agreed.

MS/M.PHIL. And Ph.D. PROGRAMS IN BOTANY
Introduction:
Plants have emerged as the most successful organisms in evolution providing a basis for the
survival and taxonomic diversions of different biotic components of the biosphere. The biotic
component of any agricultural ecosystem is essentially maintained by the photosynthetic activity
of plants and their role in various food webs. Thus an understanding of the basic mechanisms
underlying the precise and measured responses of plants to the ecological factors is imperative in
determining the role and utilization of plants and their products for the welfare of man and
ecosystems.
The Department of Botany at the University of Lahore imparts knowledge in key disciplines of
plant sciences with the recent advances in taxonomy, physiology, evolution, ecology,
developmental biology, tissue culture and breeding of plant species mainly of agricultural
importance. The faculty and research facilities provide a unique opportunity to the MPhil/PhD
students to not only deepen their insight into different research themes in botany but in the
genesis of novel hypotheses.
Objectives:
To enable the students and researchers for work and research according to the following main
objectives:
The study of botany encompasses many benefits from the market, social and employment point
of view. A vast array of the employment opportunities is available for MPhil/ PhD graduates in
Botany. However as the theme of profession varies according to the available demand and
resources, the presumed choices for a botanist are very vast.
The botanists may further proceed in research during doctoral and post-doctoral education and
can join teaching and research as a profession; work agriculturists involved in the development
and procurement of horticultural plants for far-off markets and act as a farm managers to develop
strategies for yield enhancement coupled with a reduction in costs and inputs. The graduates
are able to better characterize the plant varieties according to the changing climatic conditions
and may adopt feasible biotechnological products for the sustainable use of farm fauna and flora.
It will contribute to strengthening of traditional knowledge about the plants along with the
adoption of new crop breeding methods. The students may initiate their private nursery farms for
the valuable plants and their products. A number of Govt. and semi-Govt departments related
with agriculture, environment and food safety require the services of botanists and can also
contribute to the betterment of the society by increasing awareness about beneficial impacts of
plants upon micro and macro-climatic conditions of a particular ecosystem. The graduates may
contribute in ecological surveys conducted by national and international organizations which
require the services of keen botanists.

Course Description:
Warehouse Management is a business philosophy and a corporate strategy to drive or turn-
around the business. Warehouses and Inventory Management are critical for the effective
management of procurement and the supply chain to enable the efficient delivery of superior
customer service. Warehouses and Inventory controls are often overlooked and are not thought to
be an important activity. Therefore, incorrect levels of inventory can be held with attendant
knock on effects to costs, availability and customer service.
Storage and warehousing involves Locating, structuring, and operating the warehouse,
implementing Lean principles in the warehouse, crafting an inventory strategy using Stock
Keeping Unit (SKU) segmentation. Best-practice warehouses deliver superior customer
satisfaction and return on investment by functioning as a tightly-integrated part of a company’s
value chain.
The purpose of this course is to show how to implement all of the essential tools for the effective
management of warehouses and stores. This course includes how to evaluate procedures and how
to improve methods by eliminating wasteful activities and excess costs. This course will enable
participants to understand how to improve the operations of any warehouse by implementing
lean operating processes, by intelligently managing inventory, and by establishing a performance
management program that ensures continuous improvement. An effective warehousing strategy
can be a powerful competitive weapon.

Course description
Process of identifying and pursuing business opportunities and process of creating value by
bringing together resources to exploit an opportunity using set of critical thinking skills.
The exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities includes design actions to develop a business
plan, acquire the human, financial and other required resources, and to be responsible for its
success or failure.
The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any
of its risks in order to make a profit. The most obvious example of entrepreneurship is the
starting of new businesses. In economics, entrepreneurship combined with land, labor, natural
resources and capital can produce profit. Entrepreneurial spirit is characterized by innovation and
risk-taking, and is an essential part of a nation's ability to succeed in an ever changing and
increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Entrepreneur is defined as an individual who organizes or operates a business or businesses.
Successful entrepreneurs have the ability to lead a business in a positive direction by proper
planning, to adapt to changing environments and understand their own strengths and weakness.
The term "entrepreneur" is often conflated with the term "small business." While most
entrepreneurial ventures start out as a small business, not all small businesses are entrepreneurial
in the strict sense of the term. Many small businesses are sole proprietor operations consisting
solely of the owner, or they have a small number of employees, and many of these small
businesses offer an existing product, process or service, and they do not aim at growth. In
contrast, entrepreneurial ventures offer an innovative product, process or service, and the
entrepreneur typically aims to scale up the company by adding employees, seeking international
sales, and so on, a process which is financed by venture capital and angel investments.
Biotechnology has become popular science all over the world and developed countries are
seeking this science more rigorously with the involvement of public and private sectors. DNA is
a magic bullet in the field of biotechnology which was first time reported by Watson and Crick
and they published double helical structure of DNA in Nature journal in 1953.
Genentech was the first American based biotech company in the world started by the union of a
scientist Herbert Boyer and a business man Robert Swanson in 1976 for the manufacturing of
Insulin and got its patent in 1980. Subsequently other biotech companies started establishing
such as (1976–Genentech) (1978–Biogen), (1980–Amgen), (1981–Immunex), (1981–Chiron)
and (1981–Genzyme).
Biotechnology or biostart ups can be established in the areas of;
Health biotechnology- drugs and other agents to treat diseases
Green biotechnology- products and applications related to livestock and crops
White biotechnology- modification and improvements in industrial processes
Blue biotechnology- products and application to get rid of environment related concerns

6. Bioprocessing
Course description
A bioprocess is a specific process that uses complete living cells or their components
(e.g., bacteria, enzymes, chloroplasts) to obtain desired products.
Transport of energy and mass is fundamental to many biological and environmental processes.
Areas, from food processing to thermal design of building to biomedical devices to pollution
control and global warming, require knowledge of how energy and mass can be transported
through materials (mass, momentum, heat transfer).
Therapeutic cell manufacturing processes can be separated into upstream processes and
downstream processes. The upstream process is defined as the entire process from early cell
isolation and cultivation, to cell banking and culture expansion of the cells until final harvest
(termination of the culture and collection of the live cell batch).
Aside from technology challenges, concerning the scalability of culture apparatus, a number of
raw material supply risks have emerged in recent years, including the availability of GMP grade
fetal bovine serum. This is discussed in the seminal piece "Peak Serum: Implications for Cell
Therapy Manufacturing.[4]
The upstream part of a bioprocess refers to the first step in which microbes/cells are grown, e.g.
bacterial or mammalian cell lines (see cell culture), in bioreactors. Upstream processing involves
all the steps related with inoculum development, media development, improvement of inoculum
by genetic engineering process, optimization of growth kinetics so that product development can
improve tremendously. Fermentation has two parts: upstream and downstream. After product
development, the next step is purification of product for desired quality. When they reach the
desired density (for batch and fed batch cultures) they are harvested and moved to
the downstream section of the bioprocess.
The downstream part of a bioprocess refers to the part where the cell mass from the upstream are
processed to meet purity and quality requirements. Downstream processing is usually divided
into three main sections: cell disruption, a purification section and a polishing section. The
volatile products can be separated by distillation of the harvested culture without pre-treatment.
Distillation is done at reduced pressure at continuous stills. At reduced pressure distillation of
product directly from fermentor may be possible. The steps of downstream processing are:
1. Separation of biomass: separating the biomass (microbial cells) generally carried out by
centrifugation or ultra-centrifugation. If the product is biomass, then it is recovered for
processing and spent medium is discarded. If the product is extra cellular the biomass
will be discarded. Ultrafiltration is an alternative to the centrifugation.
2. Cell disruption: If the desired product is intra cellular the cell biomass can be disrupted so
that the product should be released. The solid-liquid is separated by centrifugation or
filtration and cell debris is discarded.
3. Concentration of broth: The spent medium is concentrated if the product is extracellular.
4. Initial purification of metabolites: According to the physico-chemical nature of the
product molecule several methods for recovery of product from the clarified fermented
broth were used (precipitation, etc.)
5. De-watering: If low amount of product is found in very large volume of spent medium,
the volume is reduced by removing water to concentrate the product. It is done by
vacuum drying or reverse osmosis.
6. Polishing of metabolites: this is the final step of making the product 98 to 100% pure.
The purified product is mixed with several inert ingredients called excipients. The
formulated product is packed and sent to the market for the consumers.

Course description
Products and services that depend on bioprocessing can be grouped broadly into
This chapter reviews the status of bioprocessing for manufacture of products in categories that
are relevant for the next 10 years. Much of the relevant background is derived from an Office of
Technology Assessment report Biotechnology in a Global Economy (OTA, 1991).
The success of biotechnology is seen in the impact of new products and processes. The products
include biotherapeutics, specialty chemicals, and reagents. Such as diagnostics, biochemicals for
research and enzymes for the food and consumer markets. The purpose of this section is to
examine the state of bioprocessing of biopharmaceuticals, including the status of current research
and the needs and opportunities form innovation in bioprocessing for manufacturing of
biotherapeutic products. Biotherapeutics include therapeutic proteins, vaccines, therapeutic
polysaccharides, diagnostics, and low-molecular-weight pharmaceutical chemicals.
Extensive research on eukaryotic gene expression in bacteria, yeasts, plants, insects, and
mammals has resulted in many options for producing proteins in recombinant hosts. In spite of
the numerous options, most of the products manufactured today are made either in
recombinant E. coli or in animal cells, i.e., Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or hybridoma
cells.
E. coli is the microbial system of choice for the expression of heterologous proteins. No other
microorganism is used to produce so large a number of products at high level.
High levels of protein synthesis have been obtained with several intracellular expression
systems, particularly in E. coli. High expression of a foreign protein in the cytoplasm of E.
coli often results in the accumulation of nonnative aggregates called inclusion bodies. Isolation
of inclusion bodies by centrifugation has become an important first step in the purification and
recovery of recombinant proteins.
Production of heterologous proteins by mammalian cells has usually used CHO cells or
hybridoma cells. Initially, hybridoma cells were the only hosts used for antibody production.
More recently, CHO cells and mouse myeloma cells have also been used. CHO cells are
generally able to produce bioactive mammalian proteins that are glycosylated and properly
folded. As yet, the system is often not able to effect specific proteolytic maturation, except to
remove the secretion-signal sequence.

Online Learning
There will be four online teaching modules during the semester. Each
module will have questions related to that specific material. There will
also be online quizzes available after each lecture to review and
stimulate additional learning.
Learning & Teaching Activities
Learning & Teaching Modes
The content of the course is delivered through lectures and online
material accessable via Forensic@uol.edu.pk (University online
service). Some material is delivered online in a teaching module.
Questions in different formats are available online (quizzes) and these
questions are available for training, review and to stimulate additonal
learning. Quizzes are in the form of formative exams - meaning that
students can assess their own knowledge. Questions can be used in
summative exams (assignments and final examination).
Lectures will not be recorded and are not available online due to the
nature of the content and the potentially sensitive material shown during
the lecture. It is therefore highly recommended to attend lectures as
material presented at lectures are examinable. Lecture notes will be
available and each lecture (and online module) will have a short
introduction video, presenting the lecturer and the learning objectives for
that lecture.
Workload
The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in
engaging appropriately with the course requirements.
There are 2 scheduled lecture slots per week together with online
material accessed through forensic@uol.edu.pk as well as required
reading.

The University of Lahore is a private sector university committed to the tradition of service
to society. Our objectives are:
Describe how this proposed program will complement or mirror these missions.
We plan to start PhD in computer science in our department. Keeping in view of our
mission to focus on research, PhD program will open the horizons for research
culture in the department.
This is an intense research oriented program. According to HEC guidelines, students will be
required to take 18 credit hours course work and 30 credit hours intense research work. The
research work will be measured by publications in credible international journals.
• Is this program interdisciplinary in nature? If so, what are the fields of study involved, and
how will the identified units work together in delivering the program? (Attach any
document on support from all units involved.)
• Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar disciplines or
from other branches of the same field?
This is a computer science program and will involve all the sub-fields of computer science.
• Is it a broad, general program or will it focus on one specialization? Does it offer more than
one option?
Computer Science is a broad field and students will be able to work under any of the subfields
of Computer Science i.e. Computer Networks, Human Computer Interaction, Geographical
Information System, Digital Image Processing etc.
We want to build research culture in the department using this research oriented
program.
• How will we assess whether we are meeting our goals and objectives – i.e., how
will we gather information and how will we use it?
• What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
The students will learn how to conduct research to solve a new problem.
• Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards from
professional or regulatory bodies?
Yes, the outcomes are aligned with the HEC guidelines and followed by all
universities.
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning
outcomes?
• Does this program include a senior level project, where students demonstrate
mastery of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
No, it doesn’t include a project rather research work will be published in the forms of
journal and conference papers.
• If the new program will be included in an existing program’s assessment plan, how
will the assessment data be disaggregated to provide useful information on the
new program? How will the new program participate in assessment? Are there any
unique assessment needs or constraints (may include delivery mode, for example)?
VI. Curriculum
• What courses will be required?
Students will be required to take 6 elective courses with the consent of supervisor
and depending upon background and field of research.
• How do the required courses align with the student learning outcomes to ensure
students can build and refine skills and knowledge over time? Has the curriculum
been mapped?
Courses will be offered according to the field of research and students background.
Please see Annex-II for the curriculum map.
• If this is an undergraduate program, how have the needs of transfer students been
taken into account in planning for it? What arrangements are in place to ensure
that pre-requisites are readily available?
It is not an undergraduate program.
Along with the traditional way of teaching courses, research papers will be discussed
in the classes and students will be required to present ideas in different research
papers of their field.
• Will instructors or students need any training or support using technology? If so,
how will the training or support be provided?
• What technologies will the students learn to use in order to be employed in this
field?
Main focus of the PhD program is not on the teaching of technologies. The students
primarily learn the tools, techniques, methodologies and problem-solving skills to
conduct research.
• To what extent do the class technologies align with technologies in the field?
It will be site-based program during the course work (6 courses). After course work,
research work will start and students will not be bound to be present at any specific
time. Instead students and supervisors will set the meeting times with mutual
consent.
• Will students or instructors need any training or support in using the delivery
methods? If so, how will that training or support be provided?
The University of Lahore conducts regular training workshops and seminars in order
to train its faculty and students.

• Rehabilitation centers/special education centers
• Work settings (Industries, Universities, and Community Centers etc.)
Vision:
Mission:
Feasibility:
Although a formal feasibility study has not been conducted, it is quite
obvious that the fast growing need for the OT services and very limited
number of occupational therapists working in Pakistan, a t-DOT program
will be attractive not only to new students, but also to the occupational
therapists already holding a B.Sc. and willing to join a 2 semester
Transitional Doctor of Occupational Therapy (t-DOT) program as
included in the proposal.
Sustainability:
t-DOT will be sustainable because of the ever growing need to its
services in physical, mental and psychiatric areas and over the life span
from pediatrics to geriatrics. Pakistan population and very limited
number of occupational therapists that are currently practicing and are
educated only at a BSc level guarantees that the program will attract
students immediately and in the long run.
This unique program consists of a team of members of a diverse, highly
specialized and qualified background, which enriches the Pakistani society
through highly qualified post-graduates.
III. Program Description:
Describe the proposed program by answering the following questions:
• Describe the nature and focus of this program.
Doctor of occupational therapy (DOT)
The four-year post-graduate curriculum includes instruction in all clinical and
practical phases of an essential part of curriculum.
• Is this program interdisciplinary in nature? If so, what are the fields of study
involved, and how will the identified units work together in delivering the
program? (Attach any document on support from all units involved.) Within
what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar
disciplines or from other branches of the same field?
The Five years Doctor of occupational Therapy (DOT) Degree in program has
been designed for meeting the demand of the growing needs of experts in the
fields of occupational therapy. DOT will be sustainable because of the ever
growing need to its services in physical, mental and psychiatric areas and over
the life span from pediatrics to geriatrics. In Pakistani population, there are
limited numbers of occupational therapists that are currently practicing and
are educated only at a B.Sc. level guarantees that the program will attract
students immediately and in the long run. This program will fulfill the demand
of field of Allied health professions.
How will we assess whether we are meeting our goals and objectives – i.e.,
how will we gather information and how will we use it?
What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
After DOT students will be able to:
o Work as Occupational therapist in special schools
o Hospitals settings
o Art therapist
o Ergonomist
o Health promotion specialist
o Sports therapist
o Advice worker
o Care manager
o Play therapist
o Primary care graduate mental health worker
o Social worker
o Special educational needs teacher
Are the program outcomes observable and measurable?
• The outcomes the proposed program will be observable and measurable
the program will facilitate the student’s problem solving skills. Thinking
creatively and synthesizing information for integrative solutions.
• The program will introduce the students to collect analyze critically evaluate
and prepare data for presentation, through internet and web-based
technologies.
Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards
from professional or regulatory bodies?
We’ll deliver and promote the activities which fulfill the requirement and goals
set by the professional or regulatory bodies as well.
C. Assessment of Student learning and Student Achievement (resources and
samples appended)
How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning
outcomes?
• We’ll assess our student by evaluating their competitive skills in hospital
and clinics, on simulators, by community services and psychological services
to enhance research oriented activities and task. This program is basically
for the professionals and the resources will be their organizations, work
places and teachers.
Does this program include a senior level project, where students demonstrate
mastery of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
1- Occupational therapy (OT) is a major member of any Rehabilitation
Team and a significant role player in any health care set up. A short list
of all areas of OT contribution to the health and well-being of the society
has been provided in the proposal.
2- OT has been neglected in both education and practice aspects in
Pakistan and is far behind international standards.
3- OT, in its current status (only BSc) has been unfairly pushed back by
other health care programs that are currently offered at doctoral level in
the University of Lahore, hence appearing unattractive to students and a
DOT program will resolve this issue.
The existing available assessment plan will fulfill the required assessment or as
per university policy.
rooms, e-mail, and teleconferencing can open the door and allow
individuals from all backgrounds and geographic locations to receive help

Mission
The University of Lahore is a private sector university committed to the tradition of service to
society. Our objectives are:
• To advance knowledge through creative research and scholarship across a wide range
of academic disciplines.
• To extend knowledge through innovative educational programs built on strong
foundation in which emerging scholars are motivated to realize their highest potential
and assume roles of leadership, responsibility, and service to society.
• To apply knowledge to provide solutions to the problems in order to improve the
quality of life and enrich the economy of the nation, and the world.
Describe how this proposed program will complement or mirror these missions.
• Is this program interdisciplinary in nature? If so, what are the fields of study involved, and how
will the identified units work together in delivering the program? (Attach any document on
support from all units involved.)
Yes it is interdisciplinary and permission letter is attached
• Within what discipline(s) does it fall? What distinguishes it from other similar disciplines or
from other branches of the same field?
• Is it a broad, general program or will it focus on one specialization? Does it offer more than
one option?
It is a specialized field, in practice; it involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and patient
monitoring through implants such as pacemakers, artificial joints, limbs to the computer simulations
of biological functions.
• What will our graduates know and be able to do as a result of this program?
• Bio-medical Engineering focuses on health issues, aging populations around the world,
growing expectations of the delivery of better medical devices and equipments designed by
Bio-Medical Engineers. Employment of Bio-Medical Engineers is expected to grow fast than
all occupations globally. This growing field needs immediate attention by government of
Pakistan.
• It is a specialized field, in practice; it involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and
patient monitoring through implants such as pacemakers, artificial joints, limbs to the
computer simulations of biological functions.
Yes the outcomes are observable and measureable as students will be doing practical
work which can easily be observed as well as measured.
• Do they align with other university’s learning goals, and/or with standards from
professional or regulatory bodies?
• This is achieved by a focus of the following three university themes:
• Theme 1: to be forward thinking in the design of the program in supporting lifelong
learning and anticipating and responding to changes in demand and need, providing
vibrant and challenging learning opportunities
• Theme 2: to enhance students’ learning experience, making assessment activities,
support and feedback a powerful integrated feature of learning
• Theme 3: to introduce a comprehensive professional development framework that
improves practice and promotes excellence in learning, teaching and assessment
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning outcomes?
• How will we assure whether students are achieving the student learning outcomes?
To ensure this there will be periodically assessment programs like presentation,
weekly tests, and practical demonstrations, mid and final term examinations
There is a variety of assessments used within the course to facilitate assessment for
learning. Tutor marked assessments and feedback will be offered as soon as possible
to facilitate future submissions. The team recognizes that not only do students learn
from tutors but also that they value the input from other students. There is a reliance
on tutors that is matched by the peer assessment and the self-assessment that will be a
part of some subjects. Being able to be self-critical and constructively critical of peers
is a major step in becoming a professional. These skills are used within the
assessment process to shape the students' thinking processes as they are skills
needed for the "real life "situations that they will be in when working in clinical
practice. Thus the assessment strategies employed are intended to facilitate real life
situations and to boost learning. Summative assessment strategies used will facilitate
personal and professional learning and development. Assessments will provoke
students to challenge existing concepts and ideas, to allow reflection upon their
practice, to review, critically analyze current research and literature developing an
awareness of how it informs and relates to evidence-based clinical practice, and
to demonstrate their professional skill base. A variety and balance of assessment
methods and tools are employed during the course, assessing cognitive,
psychomotor and affective domains, and providing students with effective
learning opportunities and enabling them to be assessed appropriately at master level.
• Attendance: It is expected that they will be in attendance unless they are
prevented from doing so by illness or some other domestic or personal
emergency. Records of attendance will be kept for practice learning activities
and action will be taken where attendance issues arise.
• Academic Performance: The outcomes of the assessment process will be available
to the student at the end of each semester see table below
Initial core subjects form the basis of the learning and act to offer a firm foundation
for future study. The range of assessments has been designed to fulfil the
subject learning outcomes and go beyond the perception of "what do I need to do
to pass”
• Does this program include a senior level project, where student’s demonstrate mastery
of the learning outcomes and assessment can readily occur?
• Yes, program involves a research project at the end. This project is essentially an
individual, self-directed piece of work. The contents of which will be specific to the
professional area and interests. Student will be expected to demonstrate a knowledge
base relevant to the topic of interest as well as knowledge and understanding of
appropriate methodologies. Student will be advised appropriately about the necessity
of obtaining ethical and scientific approval for their projects. These are examples of
the content that the project will need to include:
• • Abstract
• • Literature review
• • Justification for project
• • Aim of project
• • Methodology, with justification
• • Results
• • Discussion of results with reflection on previous relevant findings
• • Conclusion
• • References
• • Appendices
• At the end of the project, it is expected that student will publish their research paper in
the HEC recognized national or international journal
• What resources are available to support program assessment?
We will be having university permanent as well as visiting faculty for the assessment.
And this will be supported by the external assessor as well as student assessment form
recommended by HEC.
• If the new program will be included in an existing program’s assessment plan, how
will the assessment data be disaggregated to provide useful information on the new
program? How will the new program participate in assessment? Are there any unique
assessment needs or constraints (may include delivery mode, for example)?
It’s a new program however assessment will be done per policy of university and no
other tool or delivery mood is required.
VI. Curriculum
• What courses will be required?
• How do the required courses align with the student learning outcomes to ensure
students can build and refine skills and knowledge over time? Has the curriculum
been mapped?
It will be assessed as per university policy
• If this is an undergraduate program, how have the needs of transfer students been
taken into account in planning for it? What arrangements are in place to ensure that
pre-requisites are readily available?
As per university rules and regulations
Please attach a curriculum map (matrix aligning courses and the program’s student learning
outcomes)
Required document has been attached
VII. Use of Technology
Power point presentations, video lectures, and other soft ware’s/programs will be used.
• Will instructors or students need any training or support using technology? If so, how
will the training or support be provided?
University and training and teaching center is on board and provide training twice a year. It
monitors any ongoing and future need and fulfills them accordingly.
• What technologies will the students learn to use in order to be employed in this field?
It involves everything from equipment for diagnosis and patient monitoring through implants such as
pacemakers, artificial joints, limbs to the computer simulations of biological functions.
• To what extent do the class technologies align with technologies in the field?
• Will students or instructors need any training or support in using the delivery
methods? If so, how will that training or support be provided?
• Though instructors are experienced and well trained for the program but as far as
technologies are concerned we will be having the need of some trained individuals so
that the best possible skill can be learnt.
• However, university and training and teaching center is on board and provide training
twice a year. It monitors any ongoing and future need and fulfills them accordingly.
IX. Students
B. Admission Requirements
