PREFACE
Curriculum of a subject is said to be the throbbing pulse of a nation. By looking at the curriculum of a subject, one can judge the state of intellectual development and the state of progress of a nation. The world has turned into a global village, new ideas and information are pouring in a constant stream. It is, therefore, imperative to update our curricula by introducing the recent developments in the relevant fields of knowledge. In exercise of the powers conferred by Sub-section (1) of section 3 of the Federal Supervision of Curricula Textbooks and Maintenance of Standards of Education Act 1976, the Federal Government vide Notification No.D773/76JEA (Cur.), dated December 4, 1976, appointed Higher Education Commission as the Competent Authority to look after the Curriculum Revision Work beyond Class XII at Bachelor level and onwards to all Degrees, Certificates and Diplomas awarded by Degree Colleges, Universities and other Institutions of higher education. In pursuance of the above decisions and directives, the Commission is continually performing curriculum revision in collaboration with the Universities. According to the decision of the special meeting of Vice-Chancellors Committee, curriculum of a subject must be reviewed after every 3 years. For the purpose, various Committees are constituted at the national level comprising senior teachers nominated by the Universities. Teachers from local degree colleges and experts from user organizations, where required, are also included in these Committees. The National Curriculum Revision Committee on Mining Engineering in its meeting held in June 2003 at the H.E.C. Regional Centre, Peshawar finalized the draft curriculum after due consideration of the comments and suggestions received from the Universities and Colleges where the subject under consideration is taught. The Final draft prepared by the Curriculum Revision Committee duly approved by competent authority is being circulated for implementation by the Universities. (PROF. DR. ALTAF ALI G. SHAIKH) D.G.

RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Courses in the draft prepared by the Committee are given in the term system format. However it may be the discretion of the respective university to adopt according to their own regulations that are in vogue. The proposed courses should be made compulsory in all the universities of Pakistan. However, the elective subjects proposed may be included in the curriculum depending upon the availability of expertise and the local needs of the industry. The course Project appears in the final term of the programmes draft curriculum. However it is recommended that students may be allotted project in the beginning of the seventh term. The field training for students should be made compulsory as part of fulfillment of their degree programmes. A teacher training programme and refresher courses should be put in place to familiarize the teachers with the modern trends of the technology. Cheep editions of the books for Mining Engineering are not available in the local markets. Therefore, funds should be granted by the HEC to provide all the related books to the students. The use of computer is integrated into most courses, assignments, etc, therefore funds should be made available for sufficient number of PCs.
