The research paper focuses on the postgraduate level education being imparted in the Engineering Universities in Pakistan and their contribution in the development of local Construction Industry. The Construction Industry is in its infancy as regards to the application of professional management practices in Pakistan. The curriculum of the engineering universities is designed to cater to the needs of the industry but due to the lack of any interaction or feedback from the industry, the universities have not been able to either lead the industry or to equip the students with the knowledge required to meet the demands of this dynamic industry. Moreover, graduates working abroad also face problems in adjusting to fast paced construction management practices and in the use of new technology. This research paper is basically focused in finding ways for the improvement of the construction industry, primarily based on the development of the human resources in the form of Engineers and Construction Managers, who in turn will be trained to face the current and future challenges faced by the industry. A study has been done to ascertain the student’s expectations from these courses, before and after their completion, their improved skills, market demand, etc. An effort has also been made to gauge the industry’s perception and expectations from such types of programs. Recommendations have been given for the improvement of the construction industry by focusing on the human resource being trained by the engineering universities.
