Laboratories:
No engineering discipline is complete with out providing practical knowledge of subjects. Therefore, in
order to meet this requirement APCOMS has five state-of-the-art computer laboratories, equipped with
sufficient number of most modern personal computers with DSL Internet facility. Inaddition to that Three
Electronics, Analogue and Digital Communication, Microprocessor Based Systems, Digital Signal
Processing, PCB development, and Electrical Machine and Control laboratories are fully equipped with
the state-of-the-art equipment.

Health Care:
The college has an in campus medical investigation room (MI Room) manned by medical staff from whom
the students can receive consultation and medicines free of charge.

Seminars & Workshops

Seminars and workshops are an essential part of student character building in APCOMS. They are
arranged frequently, enlightening students on the contemporary issues of national and international
significance, and also provide them an opportunity to socialize with scholars, business executives,
industryspeciaIists, educationists and eminent persons.

Scholarships
APCOMS has the tradition of honoring those students who excel in their
academic courses. The students are given scholarships who secure 1st,
2nd and 3rd positions in their relevant semesters. The students who
secure SGPA of more than 3.5 are eligible ro receive the scholarship.

Convocation
The 11th convocation of UET including APCOMS graduates was held on 12
Dec 2012 in Jinnah Conventional Hall Islamabad. 194 students of
APCOMS of various programmes were graduated.

Scholarships Award Ceremony

Extra CurricularActivities
APCOMS has a tradition of offering extra curricular activities for students mental and physical recreation. A whole
week is dedicated as students week during every semester in which sports, fun, cultural and other events such
Debates, Naats & Painting competitions are held.
Moreover it is also a practice to have welcome/farewell functions during every semester

BS (Software Engineering)
BS (Software Engineering) in APCOMS is the oldest degree programme started in 1999. Sixteen batches of BS
(Software Engineering) have been graduated so far. Software Engineering is the discipline of creating highquality software environment in a systematic, controlled and efficient manner, while maintaining it affordably. It
involves the application of engineering concepts, techniques and methods to develop the software systems. A
software engineering programme develops professionals who have a mastery of software development
principles, theory, practice and process. The goal of Software Engineering is to use the science and technology
already available to create products and tools for use. Software Engineering derives its essence from computer
science as other engineering disciplines do from natural or life sciences, with an emphasis on issues of process,
design, measurement, analysis and verification providing a strong foundation in engineering principles and
practices as applied to software development.

Objectives:The objective of the programme is to prepare students for professional careers and graduate studies with a balance
between computing theory and practical careers and graduate studies with a balance between computing theory
and practical application of software engineering concepts, methodologies, tools and technologies in the modern
software development environments. Various components have been included in the curriculum to ensure that the
graduates will:Understand and be able to apply mathematics, physical science, computer science and related
disciplines. Have an awareness of current industry standards and practices.
Be able to work in one or more application domains.
