Dawood College of Engineering and Technology was established in 1962 as a federal government engineering institution. Initial financial endowment and foundation stone of the Dawood College of Engineering and Technology was laid by then President of Pakistan Field Marshal Mohammad Ayub Khan in 1962. It was established by Dawood Foundation under the supervision of Seth Ahmed Dawood in 1964.[4] It is regarded as one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in engineering in Pakistan and pioneer in the fields of electronics, chemical, petroleum, metallurgical and industrial engineering degrees.[5] It is one of the notable institutions in Karachi and secured its place in the engineering category by the Higher Education Commission, as of 2010.[6]
