Introduction
The Scheme envisages Master level training of Pakistani candidates in advanced Engineering and Technological fields at South Korean Universities:
Strategic Objectives:
This PSDP funded project aims at producing high-tech engineering manpower to work on cutting edge technologies in the emerging Industrial sector of Pakistan. These opportunities are offered to graduate engineers, meeting specific requirements of the program.
This project will provide opportunities to young talented Engineers for research work at advanced research labs and reputed universities of South Korea and an opportunity of interaction with foreign engineers working at frontiers of knowledge. It will further encourage international cooperation in Engineering and Technology whereby, scholars will get an opportunity to work in Korean labs on real life projects.
The HEC scholars sponsored and successfully trained through this project, will have gained ample practical knowledge, to replicate in the Industrial sector of Pakistan. The ultimate objective is to assimilate, absorb and transfer knowledge pertaining to promising technologies to get high-tech products and achieve rapid economic progress.
Current Status:
The HEC scholars of Batch I, II, III and IV have successfully completed their graduation and their degrees were conferred to them, in South Korea as well as in Pakistan. In Pakistan, degrees were conferred through two specially arranged Convocation Ceremonies in HEC,Islamabad, in the year 2009 and 2010. The scholars of Batch V have also successfully completed their graduation and their degrees are expected to be awarded soon.
