The Sir Syed University of Engineering and Technology (SSUET), Karachi, has been inculcating a culture of skill development through in-house training programmes for its staff working at various levels in different departments with the objective to depict the true picture of SSUET as a Centre of Excellence.

 

In this regard a two-week Auto-CAD Course, which was third in the series of skill development programmes, was inaugurated by Prof Dr S.M. Makhdumi, Dean Faculty of Engineering, in which 36 trainees are participating. 

Speaking on the occasion Dr Makhdumi emphasized the need and importance of both training and research in order to keep pace with the current developments taking place around. 

“Latest knowledge and skills in the relevant field have become the key towards success. The students as well as the professionals need to keep themselves informed and updated,” he stressed. 

Dr Syed Faisal Ahmed Bukhari, Chairman, Computer Engineering Department, also spoke on the occasion and highlighted the need for such courses and suggested a similar course in C+ +.

   

The speakers emphasized the need for such cost free in-campus courses where the Trainers and Trainees are from the same institution and only available facilities are utilized, without disturbing the normal sphere of duties, as the staff is relieved one or two hours twice or thrice a week for 2-3 weeks. 

Upon completion of the course, trainees will be awarded a Certificate which will prove invaluable and an asset for them for future growth. On the other hand, staff gets trained in multi-tasking and gives better performance and output. 

So far the University has conducted three training programmes under the skills development scheme. These programs were conducted in various fields. Skill development was described as a continuous program launched this year to develop excellence in performance at all levels and in all the departments of the university.
