IEEE-SEECS Student Chapter Elections:

Paving the road to success after being recognized as one of the best IEEE student chapters, IEEE SEECS conducted elections first time ever in the campus on 24 May 2010 in the process to elect its Central Committee. The elections did not go as they usually go with a pessimistic approach, but they went in the most peaceful way possible. The elections were a complete success as out of 90 student members, 83 exercised their ability to vote for 14 nominees which had stood up for the 4 seats of Chair, Vice Chair, treasurer, and the General Secretary. The nominees had been given 3 days for publicity in which they had to publicize their agenda in an acceptable manner; they were also seen on the Election Day convincing others to vote for them by telling them their agenda. The elections were held in the Antenna lab in which the Election commission had set up Ballot boxes against the respective ballot papers. The elections were held honestly and fairly, thanks to the Election team, the students of IEEE, and to the Faculty.

Membership Drive
The IEEE student chapter previously had more than 90 international members, which makes it the largest branch in Islamabad and one of the largest in Pakistan. This academic year the chapter planned and conducted another membership drive to keep similar number of IEEE members in the chapter. The plan included to gather the fee for the membership in 3 month installments so that the students could easily pay for the membership. Including this incentive several promotional features were added to the campaign to attract as many students as possible. Some of these are as follows: Lucky Draw - Free membership to two members 10 Free memberships to NUST SEECS RC Aero plane Flying Club. 10 Cash Coupons (each Rs. 250). These can be used to attend workshops (in/out SEECS) or buy local IEEE souvenirs.

IEEE Linux Workshop

Events and News

IEEE SEECS organized a Linux Workshop on 16 th January 2010. The workshop commenced with a basic introduction of Linux along with its fundamental and commonly used commands by Mr. Rao the presenter. He maintained an interactive environment by encouraging the students to ask questions. Therefore, the students had little difficulty in absorbing the fundamentals and many carried out informal discussions with the presenter regarding the technology under discussion. After the tea break the students were provided with a small assignment, which further helped in inculcating within them what they had just learnt. During the course of the discussion Mr. Rao expressed his desire to conduct workshops in SEECS on topics such as NS2 and Advanced Topics in Linux. As the workshop continued the participants got a flavor of Networks in Linux and acquired hands-on experience on implementing the more technical areas of Linux. After the workshop the organizers presented a shield to Mr. Rao for his effort and time.

IEEE SEECS Oath Taking Ceremony

The IEEE Oath Taking Ceremony for the 2009-2010 council took place on 9th January 2010. 80 IEEE members holding various executive positions participated in the ceremony. A lucky draw followed the oath taking in which two IEEE Memberships, ten RC Flying Club memberships and ten 250 Rs. coupons were awarded to the lucky winners. A discussion also took place in which the 2008-2009 IEEE activities were discussed and further activities to take place in the future were highlighted. Furthermore, the Chairs of all the committees working within IEEE took this opportunity to present to everyone their plan of action and goals for the future. The event was followed by a movie night in which Planet 51 was played for the enjoyment of the IEEE members.

IEEE SEECS RAS and SMART Lab organizes Lego Robotics Competition:
IEEE SEECS RAS together with SMART lab organized a month long robotics competition based on LEGO infrastructure with near-real life categories. The competition started with the inauguration of IEEE RAS. Syed Farjad Zaheer started the inauguration by giving the idea behind forming the society and its objectives to develop a permanent pragmatic approach within the students to solve problems; this was followed by a presentation by chair IEEE SEECS RAS, Abdullah Baig, who gave the motivational and future plans for the society. The inauguration ended with an address by DG SEECS, Dr. Arshad Ali, who expressed his pleasure at the formation of IEEE RAS and motivated the students to work in this domain. He also announced to grant a handsome amount as initial financial assistance for the society. Over the coming weeks the teams competed with each other upon the basis of Originality, Ideas, Strategies and Structures of their projects. 6 out of 12 teams got through the first round and those 6 teams competed for the grand finale. In the end the "Radar" team won the competition and the "Spider" and "Mine Placer" teams emerged as the runners up. The judging was done by the faculty members who had experience in this field and the whole event was managed by the society members. Cash prizes were awarded to the deserving candidates upon their excellence in the field. The competition was successful in giving practical experience to the students who gained much from it.

IEEE Socket Programming:

Events and News

IEEE SEECS presented a tutorial on socket programming on 26 th January 2010. It was presented by Wahib and Iftikhar from BICSE 5. The presenters addressed the queries of the students regarding this branch of programming and educated them about its basic coding techniques.

Seminar by Mobilink:
A seminar on "GSM Basics and Telecom Industry of Pakistan" was arranged by IEEE SEECS in the process of bridging the gap between the intelligentsia and the industry. The seminar was presented by Mr. Nauman Khan, who is Team Leader, Quality of Service, Mobilink, Pakistan and has a vivid experience in the telecom industry. The event was attended by students as well as other industry professionals who wanted to benefit from the knowledge of one of the largest tertiary industry in Pakistan that has great concern for both its customers as well as its own employees. This was a unique opportunity for the students to gain maximum exposure to the ambience they would soon graduate into.

Shell Eco Marathon

TAKING AN INITIATIVE AND MAKING US PROUD!
We hear of technology based competitions every now and again, and when Pakistanis are involved in them it makes us inordinately proud. Winning is not necessary; participation and having the nerve to present your ideas to the world is enough. The Shell Eco-marathon is one such competition which challenges high school and college student teams from around the world to design, build and test energy efficient vehicles. With annual events in the Americas, Europe and Asia, the winner is the team that goes the furthest distance using the least amount of energy. This event also affords an outstanding engagement opportunity for current and future leaders who are passionate about finding sustainable solutions to the worlds energy challenge. Shell International has been running the Shell Eco-marathon in Europe for nearly 25 years, where the event has grown to include more than 200 teams, thousands of spectators and widespread media attention. Open to high schools, colleges, universities and technical institutes across the globe, the program challenges student teams to put their innovations to the test in two vehicle categories: Prototype, or futuristic, streamlined vehicles and Urban Concept, focused on more roadworthy fuel-efficient vehicles. For both categories, teams can use either conventional or alternative fuels to see which vehicle goes the furthest distance for just a liter of fuel. The Shell Eco-Marathon 2009 held in Germany stretched over three (3) days at the Euro Speedway Lausitz track in Germany. Of immense interest to every Pakistani was the fact that there were 4 Pakistani teams of young engineers who competed in the Shell Eco marathon 2009 for the very first time! Two teams from the Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Science and Technology (GIKI), and two teams from the Pakistan Navy College of Engineering (NUST) participated in the Shell Eco-Marathon to compete against 196 other teams from across the world to see whose vehicle went the furthest distance with the least amount of fuel! Thus, Burraq became the first Pakistani car to run on the Euro Speedway track Germany! Taking such an initiative and becoming the first four competitors in this global competition was truly an amazing undertaking. It is of course a matter of great pride to us when students from Pakistan show such determination despite the meager resources they usually have to work with. The Shell Eco Asia Competition 2010 is scheduled to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Addressing at the media launch of Shell Eco-marathon at a local hotel in Pakistan, organized by Shell Pakistan in collaboration with Mediapulse, Mr Zaiviji Ismail Chairman and Managing Director Shell Pakistan informed the public that compared to the four teams competing from Pakistan last year this year 30 teams from Pakistan universities have been registered to took part in the event while 130 teams from other countries of the world will vie in the event! The Chairman said that a vast talent is present in Pakistani youngsters; however, there is need to encourage them. The energy sector is the way of life, so there is need to boost it. Energy use in the world is on the rise with each passing day, therefore, there is need to ensure its sustainable use. And with such active participation in developing environment friendly energy resources it is only a matter of time before more of such energy production means are developed. Energy resources will never be enough to meet the requirements so we need to manage them. The shell eco competition is a means of ensuring this and participation of our country students shows that we understand this state. The Pakistani participation is a source of great pride for us and we wish the participating teams the best of luck!

Future && upcoming tech

Defining the Q-bit
The working principles of the device are based on sequential tunneling of single electrons between the phosphorus atom and the source and drain leads of the transistor. The tunneling can be suppressed or allowed by controlling the voltage on a nearby metal electrode with a width of a few tens of nanometers. The rapid development of computers, which created the present information society, has been mainly based on the reduction of the size of transistors. Scientists have known for a long time that this development has to slow down critically during the future decades when the even tighter inexpensive packing of transistors would require them to shrink down to the atomic length scales. In the recently developed transistor, all the electric current passes through the same single atom.

Byrne's Law: In any electrical circuit, appliances and wiring it will burn out to protect fuses. Robert Byrne

This allows researchers to study the effects arising in the extreme limit of the transistor size. The driving force behind the measurements reported now is the idea to utilize the spin degree of freedom of an electron of the phosphorus donor as a quantum bit, a qubit. The researchers were able to observe in their experiments spin up and down states for a single phosphorus donor for the first time. This is a crucial step towards the control of these states, that is, the realization of a qubit.

D-Roll Laptop: Totally Tubular

Flexible displays mean exciting new product designs that can look beyond books for inspiration. As a student at Purdue University in Indiana, Hao Hua came up with a design for a laptop that rolls up into a shape similar to that of a mailing tube. The screen and keyboard slide out, and the open design relies on airflow to keep the electronics cool and quiet. A built-in shoulder strap provides a fashionable and convenient way to carry the machine. The Chukka concept for a portable music player solves two problems at once. First, by using piezoelectricity, it turns kinetic energy into an electric charge -- so you'll never find yourself stuck without tunes while waiting at a bus stop far from home. Second, it gives you something productive to do with your hands, especially if you are prone to snapping your fingers or drumming them on any available surface while listening to funky tracks. Transforming that nervous energy into musicplaying energy transforms your twitchy tics into extended battery life for your player.

Film making technologies

Its the 21st century and film studios are pushing the boundaries of what technology can bring to life on the theatre screen. Motion pictures have come a long way since the silent exhibits of the early 20 th century. Films today sport remarkable visuals, breathtaking sceneries and picturesque worlds. The dramatic sceneries depicted in these films are nothing without the technology that makes them possible. Laser Swords, floating mountains, slow motion sequences, robotsanything is possible in motion pictures now. Seeing is believing, and Ill walk you through how its all done. Blue or more recently green screens are used to project a character into a simulated environment. The illusion is that of the character actually interacting with that environment. An entire scene can be filmed in the studio against a blue screen and the background pasted later. Seeing Revenge of the Sith (2005) you may think Obi Wan and Anakin actually battled over a bridge dropping down to a river full of lava (a little hazardous to the actors lives dont you think?). Not exactly true. They did battle but on a green screen bridge in a studio. Motion capture technology has made it possible to incorporate photorealistic animation into movies. Anyone remember John Connor running from a liquid terminator in Terminator 2 (1992)? How cool was that. 2009s epic Avatar portrayed an entire civilization of humanoid creatures with realistic facial animations and fluid body movements. Each actors facial animations were recorded using motion capture cameras and portrayed onto the 3d models of the creatures. The result was the audience could sense every little emotion on these creatures faces. Anything less than photorealistic would have left little impression on audiences. Slowly films are progressing from recording on analog film to digital film recording. Digital recording opens up a plethora of possibilities for film makers. It allows them to record, view and adjust scenes in real time eliminating the wait required in regular film processing. As digital technology has improved and picture quality has come on par with analog film picture quality more and more Hollywood movies are now being shot digitally. Digital cinematographys acceptance was cemented in 2009 when Slumdog Millionaire became the first movie mainly in digital to be awarded the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. As we move into the future, film makers keep pushing the boundaries of awe-inspiring, audience pulling, so-good-you-have -to-see-it-twice movies, and we can only begin to imagine what the future might hold. Avatar was ground-breaking because it let the audience see the its world in lush 3D, but wouldnt it have been even more awesome if you couldve walked those jungles, touched and felt the plants, smelt the air and smoke, while the movie took place around you? Seeing how technology is progressing by leaps and bounds, it may well happen sooner than youd expect.

Career Analysis

Career: Cryptanalysts

In the past, many complex mechanisms have been sought to protect identities and hidden messages or directions. They sometimes were hidden in codes in letters, or in maps that folded to show the cipher and later deciphered as well. Such was the art of cryptography and so it is nowadays. Cryptography is an elaborate combination of mathematics and the language used for the encryption, deciphering and the safety of our secrets. This art has evolved ever since and now we are in a computer age, in which we require the use of this art to hide as well as decipher codes, messages etc. These artists are known as cryptanalysts in todays modern world. Cryptanalysts nowadays have a variety of responsibilities, especially as nowadays when our personal identity and money transfer systems are threatened. They help provide privacy for people and corporations, and keep hackers out of important data systems and which we use every day, as much as they possibly can. Thus, cryptanalysts require creative mathematical and programmable understanding and the demand for such geniuses is growing with the growing threats in todays world. Cryptanalysts usually start their career with an undergraduate computer science degree majored in network security, but skilled mathematicians can also specialize in computer science to become cryptographers. Thus, cryptography is a resourceful mixture of both mathematics and programming. The starting pay scale for a cryptanalyst is usually the same as that of a software engineer but as the person specializes in network cryptography and gains relevant experience, the augmentation in the salary tremendously increases. Their career safety is also guaranteed as they can easily switch over to other branches relating to IT, or go into a mathematics related field. Here are the approximate salaries based on reliable statistics: Entry Level Salary: $38,930 Average Salary: $76,470 Professionals Salary: $112,780

In today's businesses and governments, cryptanalysts are hired by companies to design security and encryption systems for online stores and companies. This helps protect both the business and the customer. So these analysts can find an exhilarating career ride in front of them.

At @ Uni
A DAY IN NUST For me its hard to imagine a fate worse than waking up on Monday mornings. Lets face it, nobody likes waking up on Monday mornings (most people dont like waking up at all at any time of the day, any day, any period). But that is not what I hate about waking up on Monday mornings; for you see my friends, as I grope blindly in the dark trying to break my alarm clock (it stubbornly refuses to!), the same dreaded thought that haunts my dreams keeps running through my head. I think of myself as a normal guy (well, not really). And normal people dont really like sitting in cramped confined spaces (which pass for sorry vans in our country) for two hours, after which they unceremoniously dump you to the last place on Earth youd ever want to be. EVER. But that is how all my days start. To add insult to injury its still 7 am and the sun isnt even properly up yet. But thats not all folks, before they dump you they have your ID cards checked (Why yes security guard sir, I would definitely steal some guys ID so I can come study here!). The poor sods who forget their ID cards (as many on occasion have done, including yours truly) are either forced to beg and grovel for a reprieve, or suffer some major emotional bashing at the hands of the administration. But wait! The fun doesnt end here! After weve been huddled into the classes like a herd of clueless sheep, our most respected teachers arrive. Now Im no big fan of conspiracy theories, I think people who come up with these gems have serious identity/attention issues, but if some were to float the idea that the people at NUST were developing some new kind of emotional warfare technique in which you pound your victims into submission by breaking their will little by little every day, Id be tempted to give them the benefit of doubt. Quizzes in every class? Assignments that just cant humanely (or honestly, for that matter) be done? OHTs we cant wrap our minds around? Finals that make us either weep with sorrow or laugh out loud with hysteria? Add to this some really grueling labs, never-ending projects and the even bigger expectations; and you begin to wonder why we all dont collectively jump off the beloved green dome that sits atop our campus. But surely, you ask, there must be some form of entertainment? Some recreation perhaps? To which I would like to present the following scenario: Imagine yourself in a wasteland almost devoid of all forms of vegetation, surrounded by hills that make the place seem more like a maximum security prison than a university. Imagine yourself having to walk a seemingly endless stretch of this desert just to get to the local cafeteria (whose food, incidentally, would also do better being at a maximum security prison). Forget about just losing your appetite for food, you lose your appetite for everything else afterwards as well. No friends it aint very pretty at all. But as much as I hate to admit it, the place has grown on me, in a so-bad-its-hysterical kind of way. This place has made me fear for mankinds future, but given me a twisted sense of humor to laugh at it too. True, I have met many people who accelerate my waning faith in human rationality, but for every one of those there are several that lift my spirits and make every day bearable. No friends, it aint pretty at all, but (as the Beatles famously put it) I get by with help from my friends.
