Mission

Promoting Research at undergraduate level under the mentoring of Graduate and Senior Researchers around the world.

Description

The concept of research has evolved ever since the evolution of mankind. People from all races have strived to find the purpose of their existence and that, obviously, led them to discover the idea of research as a vital part of the process of understanding any subject. Over the course of time, many or-ganizations were established and IEEE is one of the top organizations that are serving humanity w ith advancement in technology. We all know that IEEE has many functional units at re-

gional, country, section and branch level and IEEE GOLD and student members from Pa-kistan are really working hard in a spirit of

spreading the positive aspects of technolo-gy; they have initiated a platform in this re-gard named as IEEE Research Develop-

ment Program Pakistan

SRP’s Profile MoizRahmanMemon did his B.E in Telecom-munication Engineering from Mehran Univer-sity of Engineering and Technology, Jams-horo. He is a News Reporter in FEECE MUET E-Newsletter. He is also the Publisher of Writers-Hub Blog. He is a memberof IEEE Inc. USA. He is currently serving as Student Research Partner of the IEEE Research De-velopment Project of Pakistan. 2011-2012.

Opening ceremony

12 FEB 2013, the day we all waited for, the

day we dreamt for. Yes it was the day of inau-

guration of IEEE Computer Society, Mehran

UET Student Branch Chapter. This was the

day when we made ourselves and our univer-

sity proud as it’s the second student branch

chapter in Karachi section and all over Paki-

stan.

The event started with the recitation of Holy Quran. Chairman of Department of Software Engineering Sir Tehseen Hafiz was the chief guest. He was invited to address and say some words of gratitude. After the motivation-al speech by Sir Tehseen Hafiz, he along with the faculty members of software engineering department proceeded towards the ribbon cutting ceremony and inaugurated IEEE Computer Society Mehran University of Engi-neering and Technology Student Branch Chapter

The students felt quite overwhelmed and be-

came more enthusiastic towards the next

speaker. Then came the Chair of IEEE-MUET

Student Branch,Mr. Sarang Shaikh, who filled

up the students with each and every infor-

mation about IEEE. Initially, he started about

how to build a good career andcounseled the

students in many ways. He told the history of

IEEE, itsbackground,vision, mission and bene-

fits. In addition, he told how IEEE became a

part of our lives in the most inspiring way. He

said:"IEEE, not only served as a stair towards

the enhancement of our knowledge, but it is an

elevator who has directly shifted us to the top-

most level of divine guidance in our engineer-

ing future". On hearing this, the students were

really moved and showed up their eagerness

in learning more and more about IEEE.

IEEE-CS WEB-DEVELOPERS’ DAY

. Sarang Shaikh explained each objective of IEEE in a

very efficient way. He told about Ask IEEE, IEEE poten-

tials, MyIEEE, webinars and etc. Besides, the students

were told that an IEEE member can get the utmost

benefits and latest updates about his engineering field

within seconds just by writing the topic name and click-

ing on the search button. He interacted with the stu-

dents in the most comfortable way and the students rel-

ished his session very much.

After such an informative mentoring session over IEEE,

the students wanted to learn more and more about

IEEE and IEEE Computer Society. Thus, there came

the Chair of IEEE-Computer Society Student Branch

Chapter MUET, Mr. Hassam Mughal, who delivered fur-

ther oration on IEEE Computer Society. He proceeded

with IEEE-CS by telling the students about how IEEE-

CSenriches the minds of the students and make them

career oriented in field of software engineering in infi-

nite ways. After telling the process of registration, he

told them that each student would be given a separate

membership number and an e-mail after the registra-

tion. By logging in through that e-mail id and password,

the students can easily access their accounts, digital

library and much more that is present on the IEEE and

IEEE-CS web- portal and will also get the latest up-

dates right away in their inbox. He infused a new spirit

among the students and thus the students were really

excited to join IEEE-CS and travel in the world of sci-

ence and technology.

Members certificates

These two persons, undoubtedly, convinced the audience for being a part of IEEE-CSas soon as they

can. Following them, came up Engr. Jawed Abbasi who has become favorites of many in a very short

span of time due to his profound professional skill.

This PHP developer has vast amount of knowledge and experience in the field of PHP language. He

seemed very determined while teaching every possible technique to the participants in two-hour work-

shop on PHP. With the provided handouts, it became easier for participants to get firm grip on the ba-

sics of PHP.

He guided the participants so well that they were able to write the PHP instructions on their individual

systems by themselves.

Participants seemed more focused in FAQ’s session. Their response for joining and to get indulge with

IEEE-CS was worth seeing through which they will get a new dimension for their careers.

Throughout the event, Dr. Imran AliJokhio the Vice Chairman of Department of Software Engineering

MUET and the IEEE-CS MUET Student BranchChapter Advisor remained helping; mentoring and guid-

ing guiding them all the way. His presence was building confidence among the event organizers. Prof.

Dr.Bhawani Shankar Chowdhry, DEAN of FEECE, MUET thoroughly supported the foundation and

launching of IEEE- CS. He remained a helping hand throughout the event. He infused us with the new

spirit for moving forward and achieving our aims.
