Social, recreational and extracurricular services and facilities are fully supported by the college as part of the strategic plan to build graduate competence in terms of rounded individuals who espouse the values of leadership and entrepreneurialism. The students have a plethora of opportunities to engage with established student chapters of professional bodies which aim to expose the students to international professionals to have the benefits of updating with recent technological news and to interact with engineers and professionals across the world.
College of Engineering (CoE) has been providing guidance and counselling to its students through academic staff. This is in addition to various other supports provided through the NU Student Support Services. The academic counselling and guidance are mainly focused on students’ problems related to academic performance, dissemination of information related to their studies, class attendance, participation in co- and extracurricular activities, and advice on career and job prospects. In a nutshell, the role of the academic advisor is that of a ‘friend, philosopher and guide’. In the years ahead, we will continue our efforts to attract and develop the highest quality faculty, student body and staff in a supportive teaching, learning, and working environment.
