Paul Isaac Musasizi is the Operations Manager and Principal Systems and Business Analyst of the Academic Records Management Systems (ARMS) Project. The Project is aimed at Incubation of home grown e-Governance Solutions for Higher Education Institutions, Solutions for e-Health and e-Commerce. Currently the project is focusing on development (from scratch) of a comprehensive user-centric Academic Records Management System to support the university’s logical and physical academic infrastructure using state-of-the-art technologies and current generation industrial aesthetics.; and Supporting the provision of relevant learning experiences for students in the Faculty of Technology at Makerere University-Experiential Learning (Equal Opportunities for Girl and Boy Child)-Adding Value to the Pedagogical Experience. Since its inception in 2007, the ARMS Project is steadily evolving into a premier computer systems engineering entity, actively promoting systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approaches toward successful development of high-quality and ubiquitous computer systems. Currently with a team of Fourteen (14) undergraduate students and Four (4) members of staff, as a proof of concept, the project is building from scratch ARMS 1.0, a system for Academic Records Management using the Faculty of Technology as the Development and Test Site. This system is currently being piloted at the Faculty of Technology running on the internet at http://arms.mak.ac.ug. ARMS is using the MS Windows Server 2003, Apache, MySQL, .NET(C# and ASP) and Asterisk Server-Side Platform; the Client-Side support all software and hardware Platforms including smart handheld device, with the Client running in a Web-Browser with Web 2.0 support. For corporate web-portal Server-Side Scripting is based on Linux OpenSUSE, Apache, MySQL, PhP/Python with state-of-the-art Client-Side Support including implementation with AJAX and other client-side performance optimization technologies for compliance with the W3C Standards. Paul Isaac Musasizi isthe PROJECT Manager of the ICT4MPOWER Project at the Faculty of Technology (Since 2009). The ARMS Project is the Key Implementer of ICT4MPOWER Project at the Faculty of Technology. The ICT4MPOWER Project executed in Collaboration with FCIT, Ministry of Health and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Kalorinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden, the Project is aimed at Developing a National Health Information System starting with Isingiro District as the Proof of Concept. For More Info Visit www.ict4mpower.org. This Project is using a Linux Ubuntu, Apache, MySQL, Pearl and Asterisk Servder-Side Platform, the Client Side Platform is Linux Ubuntu, with the Client running in a Web-Browser with Web 2.0 support Paul Isaac Musasizi is the Project Administrator of the iLABS@MAK Project a position he has held since 2007. This project is carried out in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the goal of developing Internet Laboratories (iLabs) to supplement the conventional ones. The Project engages Undergraduate, Graduate students, and Members of Staff in research geared towards development of online experiments. iLabs offer a flexible and convenient experimentation platform to an unlimited number of users, thus alleviating space and scheduling problems associated with increasing student numbers. The current core development team is comprised of eighteen Undergraduate Students (Nine Male and (Female), Two Graduate Students, and Five members of Staff. The Project has so far developed over twelve ilabs and working closely with the Electrical Engineering Department these labs have been integrated into the BSc Electrical Engineering and BSc Telecommunications Engineering Programmes to provide a rich experimentation experience to students. Paul Isaac Musasizi is at the heart of spear heading the formation of the National remote engineering Consortium a concerted effort to advance Remote Engineering in Science Education in Uganda in a framework of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership composed of academic institutions, government, policy makers, public – private sector and the industry.

Paul Isaac Musasizi is the Operations Manager of the Vehicle Design Project. Makerere vehicle design project is one of the main innovative projects at the Faculty of Technology, Makerere University. Its main goal is to build an energy efficient electric vehicle with Makerere university campus as the development and test site. The project was inspired by vehicle design summit (VDS), a brainchild of MIT in which a group of Technology students participated in building a hybrid vehicle prototype, the Vision 200. Its research is fuelled by the desire to innovate and impact society by applying current technologies in addressing current transport and energy disparities. The Project Team includes six Undergraduate Students (Four Male and Two Female), and Four Members of Staff.
