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-NUCES Women In Engineering's trip to Women Expo
WIE Affinity Group at NUCES Lahore organized a trip for female students to “Women Expo” at Fortress Exhibition Complex, Lahore, on Saturday, 9th September 2006. The three-day exhibition was organized by the 4th Dimension Pvt Ltd in collaboration with the department of women development, Punjab, German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) and Parks and Horticulture Authority (PHA) along with several other government and non-governmental organizations.
The Motto of this Expo was "Lets Celebrate being Women".
Women entrepreneurs had been given stalls on highly discounted rates so that they could easily exhibit their products and services for the women’s expo visitors.
Around 40 girls were accompanied by Ms. Faiza Asghar Dar. The trip kicked off by many sighs of relief from the workload and excitement for the journey.
As one entered the Expo, stalls of various kinds were on display. The first stalls we saw were that of the different kinds of Tea ranging from Danedar, Tapal to Lipton and A1. The aroma of fresh tea was a welcome delight for tea lovers. Though no coffee lovers were given a chance to tantalize their taste buds.
Stalls of bags, jewelry, cosmetics and clothes brought out shrieks of delight and glee. Brands of cosmetics that had their collection on display were of Atiqa Odho, Christine etc. Some of the girls even experimented with the offer of free makeup application. The results of this free application - well, let’s just say natural beauty won in the end.
An Outstanding Women’s Lounge was also created at Women’s Expo where prominent women from all walks of life spared some time out of their busy schedules serving as a source of motivation and role models for the gathered women audience.
Fair and Lovely, Nikhaar, Swiss Naturals, Breeze Traders and Beautiful Beings had their creams, scrubs, cleansers and lotions on display with free sachets being given out to everybody who visited their stalls and free facial massages. One would have availed the opportunity if only masseurs would have practiced a little hygiene, but that’s only for the cleanliness freaks, as however one did see girls and women having free massages.
The highlight of the evening was the auditions for the TALENT HUNT 2006 that was being held by GEO TV. Bouts of laughter erupted in the audience when decent looking people tried their hand at acting. Their serious endeavors were a waste of time and energy. Hooting, ridicule, remarks and shouts of ‘Have mercy on us’ were the norm of every audition. But alas no one was barred from the torture by the volunteers.
One striking display of à la mode and chic jewelry was that on the ATTITUDE stall. They had unique bracelets, earrings, necklaces and different kinds of accessories which guaranteed your worth of money. Other jewelry stalls included Shoaib Jewelers etc.
An eye opener was the stall of Pakistan’s first fully qualified and U.K trained female plastic and cosmetic surgeon. They had the whole process of the surgery being live telecasted on the TV. Even if somebody had any plans to have a nose job or eyebrow uplift they had second thoughts after watching the clips.
Clothes of Riffat Khalid and Humaira Alvi were on display. Block printed silk, cotton having Ari and Sui work on them, were breathtaking. The fabrics and cut of the lehngas left a lot to be desired.
At the time of our departure a treat for E.P fans was when Fawad Ahmed accompanied with his wife walked into the Women’s Expo. The trip ended with everybody having a ball at McDonald’s.

Evolution of IEEE-NUCES Lahore
An Article from Mr.Ahmad Nawaz (Chairman, IEEE-NUCES 2003-04)
I started working in IEEE-NUCES as a volunteer in the Web Site Documentation team, led by Aqeel Saifi and Sana Gul in 2001. At that time, IEEE-NUCES was in disarray; it was not registered as a Student Branch with IEEE, it had no by-laws, it was not even recognized by IEEE Lahore Section. No one in the campus knew, what it was, why it was, what it wants to do and most importantly how it will do. Earlier, IEEE-NUCES had arranged a conference named FISC (FAST IEEE Student Conference) in 1998 in which Agha Adeel played a vital role but after the conference the society pretty much vanished.
Another set-back happened to IEEE-NUCES in 2001, then Chairman Mr. Ali Hasham left the university and shifted abroad. Mr. Aqeel Saifi then was nominated as the new Chairman. I should mention another name of Mr. Yasir Qureshi (Batch 99-1) who was the Chairman of IEEE-NUCES before Mr. Ali Hasham. By the time, Aqeel took over as the IEEE-NUCES branch; the branch was effectively inexistent.
Mr. Aqeel Saifi made an entirely new team which was relatively junior but they had the zeal to take IEEE-NUCES further and establish it not only as a Student Branch but also as a reputable society of the campus. The By-Laws of the society were drafted and submitted to IEEE Lahore Section and IEEE head office for reviewing. The process took around 2 months and the By-Laws were approved after certain amendments by the IEEE Lahore Section and IEEE Head Office. As per the By-Laws, a new executive committee was made which comprised of Chairman, Vice Chairman, General Secretary and Treasurer. IEEE-NUCES opened its bank account and then all the legal formalities were completed and IEEE-NUCES was a Student Branch registered with IEEE.
The Student Branch IEEE-NUCES started arranging formal events from its platform. Seminars on Emerging Market Trends in IT Industry and Entrepreneurship were organized which were pretty well appreciated and IEEE-NUCES started to establish itself among many different societies of FAST and other IEEE Student Branches in Pakistan.
In the second-half of 2002, IEEE-WEEK was organized at Lahore level which was a big success. The IEEE-NUCES was established and recognized all across after the IEEE-WEEK 2002. The IEEE-WEEK was brainchild of Mr. Aqeel Saifi which later on became an annual tradition of IEEE-NUCES.
Along the way, IEEE-NUCES arranged numerous short-courses for the students of NUCES. IEEE members were given major rebates in the course fees and the courses were even attended by NUCES Peshawar Campus students.
In 2003, IEEE-NUCES organized its first All-Pakistan event. IEEE-WEEK 2003 became a national event and was attended by various universities spread across multiple geographical locations in Pakistan.
In 2004, IEEE-NUCES organized INMIC which was an immense success. The event attracted a very high number of participants and the qualities of papers presented in the conference were appreciated by all the participants.
It would be very rude of me, if I don’t mention the names of the individuals who have contributed a great deal in establishing IEEE-NUCES. Some important persons are:
1. Agha Adeel (Batch 1998)
2. Aqeel Saifi (Batch 99-2) Chairman, IEEE-NUCES 2002
3. Waqas Zafar (Batch 2000) Vice Chairman, IEEE-NUCES 2002
4. Ahmad Nawaz (Batch 2000) Chairman, IEEE-NUCES 2003
5. Nauman Saeed (Batch 2001) Chairman, IEEE-NUCES 2004
Few volunteers who contributed a great deal were:
• Asim Ijaz, Sana Gul, Waqas Khan (Batch 99-2)
• Jareer Ahsan, Bushra Naseem (Batch 2000)
• Zunaira Malik, Sheraz Arshad (Batch 2001)
• Ehsan Saqib, Aizah Ashraf, Fawad Ahmad (Batch 2002)
All these persons have enjoyed different offices in IEEE-NUCES during different times.
Few other persons who should also get an appreciation are:
1. Dr. Amjad Hussain, NUCES-FAST IEEE-NUCES Branch Counselor and Faculty Advisor
2. Dr. Arshad Hussain, NUCES-FAST IEEE-NUCES Faculty Advisor
3. Dr. Fakhar Lodhi IEEE-NUCES Faculty Advisor
