Humanities & Sciences

 -Who We Are-

The College of Humanities & Sciences is responsible to impart instructions in Humanities, English and  Mathematics  to undergraduate and postgraduate students of programs offered in Applied Sciences & Arts i.e  in Engineering , Computer and Information Sciences, Management Sciences and Media Arts at KIET.

 -Director’s Profile-

Dr. Muhammad Amin
MSc, Applied Math (PU)
PhD, DIC Imperial College, London (UK)

Dr. Muhammad Amin is a professor of Mathematics and Director of College of Humanities & Sciences at KIET Karachi. He is a self made professional who started his education career at a village primary school in Sialkot. Through dedication and hard work he ended up as a post graduate student at Imperial College London University (UK). This world famous institution awarded him PhD and DIC in a minimum period of 3 years. Besides, he has the honor to work as a research scholar for one year at Research Establishment, Winfrith (Atomic Energy Authority) UK. There, he made extensive use of packages specially prepared for the Analysis of Nuclear Reactors on IBM computers and produced two research reports. On his return to Pakistan in 1962, he continued the research work and produced research papers published in Journal of Natural Sciences, Govt College Lahore.

During his professional career (1962- to date) he has served as professor of Mathematics and taught students of Engineering at undergraduate and post graduate levels at Institutions of National repute such as: Engineering University Lahore;  College of Aeronautical Engineering (NED) ; Navy Engineering College (NUST);  Usman Institute of Technology (Hamdard) and KIET Karachi.
