CONFERENCE ON

IEEE Student Branches at three prominent Engineering institutions of Karachi, IIEE, NED and UIT, in collaboration with IEEE Karachi Section, organized a full day Student Paper Conference on “Technology Extravaganza” on Saturday August 11, 2001 at the Auditorium of NED University of Engineering and Technology, Karachi, in which 13 speakers presented their papers on various technologies of new era. The conference was attended by over 400 students, engineers, IT professionals and entrepreneurs.

Extravagant Enthusiasm for technical know-how – particularly in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Information Systems and Electronic Engineering – is our greatest national need at present.

That was the theme for the Student Paper Conference “Technology Extravaganza”, which was made all the more auspicious by the presence of Chief Guest Engineer Abul Kalam, Vice-Chancellor NED University of Engineering & Technology, Mr. Salman Ansari, Advisor to Ministry of Science & Technology, Dr. Syed Irfan Hyder, Head of E-Commerce Working Group, MoST, as well as Mr. Shahid Suleman Jan, Chairman IEEE Karachi Section.

The objective of this Student Conference was to proliferate healthy technical activities among the Engineering students of Pakistan, especially Karachi, by promoting creativity, development and sharing knowledge about Electrical, Electronics and Information Technologies and Sciences for the benefit of humanity and the profession.

This was for the first time that any such joint activity at Karachi Section level was arranged in collaboration with all IEEE Student Branches of the city. However, now it has been decided to include this conference in the IEEE Karachi Section Annual Program and from this year 2001, this conference has become a regular feature of the annual programs of the IEEE Karachi Section and IEEE Student Branches of the city.

Another noteworthy fact about this IEEE Student Paper Conference “Technology Extravaganza” was that this was first time in our Asia Pacific Region that only students were arranging such an attractive event. It was a full day conference with papers presenting in the various sectors of technology by the students from different engineering institutes and universities.
