NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NUST School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (NUST-SEECS) (Formerly: NUST Institute of Information Technology) is located at Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan. NUST-SEECS was launched on self-finance basis in April 1999 as a constituent college of National University of Science and Technology (NUST). NUST-SEECS was formed as a result of the IT boom that gripped the country, the increase in demand for quality IT education and the requirement for NUST to launch its own IT department. The Institute offers programmes on both graduate and undergraduate levels.

[edit] International Collaborations

National University of Sciences and Technology has been highly instrumental in strengthening academic-cum-industrial liaison with Microsoft, USA - the leading Information Technology Company in the world to come to Pakistan and help in promoting the local IT industry. In recognition of its high academic standards and state of the art computing facilities, Microsoft has awarded NUST the status of Authorized Academic Training Program Institute (AATPI), eventually becoming a role model for peer academia in the field of high-level information technology education in Pakistan.

NUST-SEECS has established a very strong technology partnership with Intel - the world leader in Information Technology. Intel has very recently established a state-of-the-art laboratory at NUST-SEECS to orientate the students with latest technology trends in computing. Visiting Intel experts deliver lectures on emerging technologies at NUST-SEECS on regular basis.

University has established links with several software companies in the IT area. There has been tremendous effort that has resulted in corporate liaison with companies and universities abroad. On international level, Associate of Computing Machinery (ACM), USA has established its local students chapter to promote academic growth.

NUST-SEECS has been awarded the status of "Associate Research Institute" of CERN, the European center of Nuclear Research Geneva, Switzerland. Since 2000, NUST-SEECS has been working on collaborative on distributed computing problems relating to GRID problems with CERN. Dr. Arshad Ali (Director NUST-SEECS) toured CERN Switzerland and recent visit of Prof. McClatchy's recent visit to NUST was a part of this remarkable effort.

NUST and SLI Canada have agreed to jointly undertake a project to develop and implement a model distance learning solution for Pakistan. Its First outcome is Data Communication and Security (grad course).
