IEEE-NUCES History

IEEE-NUCES was formed in 1998. Its name was FAST IEEE then. As the FAST (Foundation for Advancement of Sciences and Technology) institute got status of the university and was named as NUCES (National University of Computer & Emerging Sciences), the branch was also renamed as IEEE-NUCES.

IEEE-NUCES society became IEEE Student Branch in June 2001. Mr. Malik Hasham (then Vice Chairperson) played a very active role in making it as a student branch. IEEE-NUCES branch almost died after organizing FISC (FAST IEEE Student Conference) in 1998 but the efforts of Mr. Malik Hasham revived the branch and IEEE-NUCES organized a seminar on "Current Market Trends in IT industry of Pakistan". The seminar really re-energized the branch and then it started organizing events on very regular basis.

The branch became one of the most active branches of IEEE Lahore section during 2003. Mr. Aqeel Saifi played a vital role in initiating and organizing huge event like IEEE WEEK, many seminars and short-courses.

This was followed by a golden rise of IEEE-NUCES in the region. First Ahmad Nawaz was elected Chairperson for the year 2003-2004. He initiated a revival for the technology based events, which led to a much anticipated IEEE-WEEK 2003, a total success.
