Ghalib, I will try to find you an email addy of some graduate from there. Apart from this UET also offers Civil Engineering, but there program is not that good.
Ghalib - then please state it as engineer in pakistan and not from :).

I know many who r in Pak.. what info u need..
Well, I wanted to get some practicing civil engineers in pakistan to talk about the industry situation and all in Pakistan. JOb prospects, type of predominant work load and which regions are the best in terms of opportunities are few of the things I want to hear about.
As for myself, I am a licensed engineer working mostly in bridge design. Haven't come across any civil engineers on Gupshup lately (except for Fraudia's brother and our very own HMCQ) so I figure I make some waves and find out the prospects in Pakistan and also discover some civil engineer on Gupshupn as well...
Ata:
dude... what happened to you? Long time no C!
Chicha Ghalib,
I am here yar, in the same city and working,
aap sunao kaisay ho ?
yeh long tim...
for this,
you must talk to the guppy 'phajja nanbi'
He is also NEDian, and he did worked so many years in Karachi in a multinational company, very halping and nice person he is!
He was actually my senior in Uni,
He must have a big circle of all type of engineers thier in Pak,you may contact him,
let me know :)
ghalib
u have my dad's contact info. he is retired now but was the ceo of a major engineering company and has a large network. he can advise you, guide you and connect you. drop him a note.
I can tell you about the scope part. The demand for civil engineers is down. At U.E.T in the merit list Civil was at no two some six years back after Electrical now its down at no 4.
