The University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore (UET Lahore) is a public university located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan specializing in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects.[2]

Overview

Founded in 1921 as Mughalpura Technical College, it was renamed as MacLagan Engineering College in 1923 after Edward Douglas MacLagan. In 1932, it became an affiliated college of the University of the Punjab and began offering undergraduate degrees in engineering disciplines. In 1962, it was granted charter and named as West Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. In 1972, it was officially renamed as University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore. A second campus of the university was established in 1975 in Sahiwal which was relocated in Taxila in 1978 and became an independent university in 1993 called University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila.[3]

The university, as of 2016, has a faculty of 881 people with 257 with doctorates. It has a total of 9,385 undergraduate and 1,708 postgraduate students studying.[4] It has a strong collaboration with University of South Carolina, University of Manchester and the Queen Mary University of London and has conducted research funded by Huawei, Cavium Networks, Microsoft and MontaVista.[5][6] It is one of the highest ranked universities in Pakistan with domestic rankings placing it as the fifth best engineering school in Pakistan while QS World University Ranking putting U.E.T as 701st in the world every year between 2013 and 2016. It is also ranked as #701 in world by the same publication in 2018.[7][8]

History

UET was established in 1921 in Mughalpura, a suburban area of Lahore, as Mughalpura Technical College. In 1923, the name was changed to Maclagan Engineering College to honor Sir Edward Maclagan, then Governor of the Punjab, who laid the foundation stone of the building.

In 1932 the institution became affiliated with the University of the Punjab for awarding a bachelor's degree in engineering. By the time of independence in 1947, it offered B.Sc. degrees in electrical, mechanical and civil engineering.

In 1954, a bachelor's degree program in mining engineering was started. In 1962, it was upgraded to West Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology.[10] During the 1960s, bachelor's degree programs were started in chemical engineering, petroleum and gas engineering, metallurgical engineering, architecture and city and regional planning. By the 1970s, it had established over a score of master's degree programs in engineering, architecture, city and regional planning and allied disciplines. Several Ph.D. degree programs were also started. Today, it is widely considered one of the best and most prestigious engineering university of Pakistan where more than 50,000 students apply for admission every year.[11]

Location

The campus is situated on the Grand Trunk Road (GT Road), few kilometers from the Mughal era Shalimar Gardens.
