The Committee worked on suggestions given by the members of the Sub-Committee and incorporated their suggestions, where necessary in the final draft of BS & MS (Telecommunication Engineering). The sub-committee also visited Lahore University of Management Science, Lahore on 2^nd day after meeting hours. During the visit the sub-committee exchanged their views with the management and faculty members regarding the process of curriculum development and its intended implementation.

The purpose of this curriculum is to provide a uniform guideline to universities and institutions in Pakistan while developing their curriculum with an effort to have uniformity of standards in their programs.

• 
  It is suggested that the credit hours for the proposed program should be increased with the new limits of 130 – 138 for BS in Telecommunication Engineering.
  

• 
  Higher Education Commission should support the institutions for the development of laboratories for Telecommunication Engineering.
  

• 
  The committee recommends that the intended candidates for this program must have sufficient background in Physics and Mathematics to perform well.
  

Mr. Nazeer Hussain, Director Regional Center Lahore thanked the Convener, Secretary and all members of the Committee for sparing their time and for their quality contributions towards preparation of the final draft curriculum of the BE/BSc/BS and Masters program.

The Telecommunication Engineering curriculum has been developed with the following objectives in mind:
