The engineering institutions are faced with a similardilemma as its counterparts in the industrialized world. Should the institutions and the facultyfocus on research and relegate undergraduate engineering to a perfunctory activity? Furthermore,faculty compensation based on the two-track system complicates the issue even more. ThePakistan Engineering Council (PEC) is the statutory body with one of its functions being theaccreditation of engineering programs [6], while the Higher Education Commission is thenational institutional accreditation body. Typically the curriculum for engineering programsfollows a rigid format with little flexibility to
