Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences ( [http://www.pieas.edu.pk/ PIEAS] ) is located at Nilore, Islamabad, Pakistan. Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences started as a post graduate institute in Nuclear Sciences in 1967. In 2000 PIEAS was given the status of university. PIEAS now has nearly 30 laboratories in different areas for conducting students' experiments as well as for R&D work. Besides the regular academic programmes, PIEAS has conducted a large number of courses on various specialised topics. The length of these courses has varied from 2 to 18 months and the areas covered have included reactor supervision and operation, health physics, medical physics, laser technology, vacuum technology, computer applications and advanced reactor safety. PIEAS is engaged in manpower development programmes at many levels and in many directions, but the major thrust of efforts of this institute is directed towards postgraduate academic work. At this level, research and development activities become an integral part of the educational process.

The Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) is a multifaceted educational institution with academic and training programs being conducted at the highest level in a broad spectrum of disciplines. The breadth of its course offerings is a reflection of the complexity and diversity of the programs of Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission ( [http://www.paec.gov.pk/ PAEC] ), for which PIEAS has been the major human resource development centre since 1967. PIEAS has been conducting postgraduate degree and certificate programs for scientists, engineers, medical doctors and technicians over the last 39 years. The educational infrastructure that has been created for this purpose is now so extensive that, besides nuclear technology, the institution can pass on to the youth of the nation, the experience in a wide range of specialized fields such as information technology, nuclear medicine, medical physics, materials engineering, process engineering, systems engineering and laser technology. PIEAS has been granted the degree awarding status according to the PIEAS Ordinance 2000 promulgated on March 22, 2000. Postgraduate academic programs at PIEAS also involve R&D works, which frequently are published in international and national journals, conference proceedings and technical reports.
