Annual Report of IEEE-NUCES Lahore (July 2004-June 2005)

Report by : Mr.Nauman Saeed Anwar (Chairman, IEEE-NUCES Lahore 2004-05)
Edited by : Rafaeel Akbar Chaudhry


Short Courses (Summer ’04):


As its long-standing tradition, IEEE-NUCES organized 2 short courses for the benefits of those students, who want to gain an edge over others by utilizing their time in summer holidays. The short courses were namely, Web Development and Java Online Application Development. The first was taught by Irfan Ahmed of batch 2002, who has been the webmaster of nearly all societies at NUCES-FAST, while the later was taught by M. Hassan Khan of 99-2 batch, who has been a research assistant in LUMS.

Both the courses saw a healthy turnout of about 20 students each. Like every year, students who took the web development course, later turned into webmasters of various societies, hence IEEE-NUCES acts as a supplier of webmasters to the campus.


Membership drive Summer ‘04:

Summer is the right time to tap into the half-year memberships at NUCES campus. This year very proudly, IEEE-NUCES crossed the psychological mark of 100 student members for the first time in its 3-year history, during the summer membership drive. Around 40 new student members were inducted into the IEEE-NUCES student branch.


IEEE R 10 Student Congress 2004:

July also saw the chairman of IEEE-NUCES, Nauman Saeed Anwar, being selected for the Region 10 Student Congress in Hong Kong from July 13 to July 17. The chairman’s visit to Hong Kong saw the new opening of horizons for the IEEE student branch. After the visit, a healthy relationship between the student branches of India and Pakistan was observed, which was a joint effort of IEEE-NUCES, IEEE-LUMS and similar student branches from India.


Orientation 2004:

Orientation of IEEE-NUCES for the new batch was carried out during the first week of September. Before that, IEEE-NUCES also attracted attention on the first day of the new students by putting up a society stall. The orientation was an all out success, which was attended by more than 150 students.



IEEE-WEEK 2004:

a. The first ever video conferencing session was held between NUCES Lahore campus and the technical HQ of TRG in Washington DC USA.
b. A new concept of Circuit designing contest, On-Spot circuit designing competition on Pspice was launched this year, which was not only appreciated internally, but even universities in Karachi queried IEEE-NUCES about how to hold such similar event at their respective campuses.
The aim of this competition was also to provide a platform for the Telecom and Computer Engineering students, who previously had no similar place to show their skills and compete with other universities.
c. IEEE-LUMS collaborated with IEEE-NUCES and held the Business Idea Competition at LUMS campus successfully.
d. First time ever broadcast of IEEE events on World Call Lahore wide channel was also successfully carried out for this week.

INMIC 2004:

After the success of IEEE-WEEK 2004, the student branch shifted all its attention to INMIC 2004 (International MultiTopic Conference 2004). NUCES campus in collaboration with IEEE-Lahore section and IEEE-NUCES arranged the largest ever INMIC since the last 7 similar conferences of this annual event.

f. Reception
g. Information Booths
h. Hall Management

More than 80 students helped the university in successful holding of this international magnitude.


Short Courses Winter ‘04:

Similar to its summer courses, winter short courses are also offered by IEEE-NUCES during the winter holidays. This year IEEE-NUCES stood out among all societies and promoted the telecom and engineering students. A special crash course for the students of basic electrical engineering was successfully taught by M. Arsalan of batch 2002, who, apart from being 2nd in his batch, is also a teaching assistant for similar courses.

A course on ASP and Object oriented environment were also held, from which around 80 students in all benefited.
