B.Sc. Automotive Engineering
Automotive engineering, is a branch of vehicle engineering, incorporating elements of mechanical, chemical, electrical, and software engineering as applied to the design, manufacture, and operation of automobiles, and their respective engineering subsystems. The study of automotive engineering is to design, develop, fabricate, and test vehicles or vehicle components from the concept stage to the production stage.
The automotive industry is a crucial sector in every developed and advanced country. By studying Automotive Engineering, students position themselves to enter a field with high demand for skilled professionals. In Pakistan, Automotive Engineering is a relatively emerging field. As the country’s automotive industry continues to expand, there is an increasing demand for professionals with specialized skills in this domain.
Being one of the few universities offering a dedicated Bachelor’s degree in Automotive Engineering, UET Lahore provides a unique opportunity for students to gain a competitive edge in this growing sector.

3- Internships:
Students are encouraged and fully supported by the department and faculty to apply for internships particularly in 3rd year of their studies. There is an office of Financial Aid & Career Services (FA&CS) centrally managed by UET Administration. One of the important functions of the FA&CS is to search and develop contacts with the industry and R&D institutes in public and private sectors of the country in order to identify prospective employers, jobs, scholarships and internship training for UET students. There is an internship/job portal on UET webpage, as well as on a UET media portal in addition to the Facebook groups purely for Mechatronics students, all of which are very helpful in communicating up-to-date information to all with ease.
The department also sends requests to a number of industries to accommodate as many students in internships as possible. The industries where our third-year students completed their internships include:
- Regal Automobiles
- Sazgar Engineering Works
- Pakistan Railways
- Hyundai Nishat
- Regal Motors
- Atlas Honda
- Millat Tractors Limited
- Jolta Electric
Furthermore, UET organizes Industrial Open House and Career Fair (IOHCF) every year for all potential graduates. It is attended by a good deal of potential employers – a number of representatives of chambers, business communities, civil society and personals from academia. This annual event is a best source of informal interaction between students and industries. In order to prepare students for this event, a number of workshops are also arranged which include:
- CV/Resume writing workshop
- What makes a Leader
- Work on EQ Rather than CGPA (to tackle interviews, worth of your EQ, what company demands from you),
- Moving from FB to LINKEDIN – From Paper CV to Digital One (how to use LinkedIn effectively, what to write, where to write, how much to write),
- Non-verbal communication skills (communication by body language, by gestures, by posture, by facial expressions)Top of Form
