Numerous number of societies are working
in all campuses of FAST-NU to promote professional skills and to provide
teamwork experience. Among all the prominent ones are ACM, IEEE, Sportics and
ASCE. First, ACM-NUCES student chapter has a rich legacy of organizing and
hosting international, national and local competitions in the fields of
software project, software quiz, programming and gaming. In doing so, it has
received participants from most countries in the region, and from all major
educational institutions in Pakistan.
The successful holding and completion of
these events has only added to the growing fame of NUCES-ACM as being the
premier ACM Chapter in the country. Second, IEEE is the world’s largest
professional association dedicated to advancing technological innovation and
excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE and its members inspire a global
community through IEEE’s highly cited publications, conferences, technology
standards, and professional and educational activities.
Furthermore, Sportics
is one of the most popular and energetic societies in FAST. It organizes sport
events which include indoor games like Chess, Checkers and Table Tennis and
outdoor games like Throw ball, Volleyball, cricket and Basketball. Sportics has
the credit of hosting the first ever inter-university tournament for throw
ball, volley ball, foot ball and cricket at FAST under the title of Unilympics. Sportics has the mission to keep
the sports-man spirit alive in all the FASTian geeks! Finally, ASCE-NUCES is
the student chapter of American Society of Civil Engineers( ASCE ) in Pakistan
at FAST NUCES Lahore. The aim of this chapter is to make students aware of the
developments in the field of engineering, specifically civil engineering,
around the globe, to provide them with a platform for grooming and growth and
one through which they may communicate and learn from their foreign
counterparts. It conclude that the societies at FAST are working well for the
development and awareness of IT among students to increase their appetite of
technology.
