University of South Asia(Punjab)


History

During the last two decades, there have been enormous changes in the global trend of business and industry. Accordingly a need was felt to reframe our system of education with a view to switching from aimless education to modern purposeful and job-oriented education in order to overcome the challenges of the 21st century.

Keeping in view the limitation of the public sector, it was required from the private sector to share the burden of education with the Government. Accordingly, a most courageous and innovative step was initiated by “The Sadiq Memorial Educational Society” for establishing a chain of National Colleges of Computer Science (NCCS) throughout the country for offering Computer Science Program.

Under the dynamic leadership of the members of The Sadiq Memorial Educational Society, initially a mass computer literacy campaign was launched with the aim to promote computer education and its practical usage in Pakistan. The primary mission was to prepare the nation to participate fully in the computer revolution that continues unabated to date.

The Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) program was launched in 1992 and Intermediate with Computer Science (ICS) was introduced in 1994. The year 1995 was yet another milestone as MBA and MCS programs were launched that year.

During a short span of 16 years, more than 100,000 students have graduated from The National Group of Colleges and are holding key posts in various offices and enterprises of national and multinational repute.

National Group of Colleges succeeded (by the grace of God) in the establishment of a chartered degree-awarding higher education institution by the name of Institute of South Asia on Monday, April 14, 2003 vide “The Institute of South Asia, Lahore, Ordinance 2003, Punjab Ordinance No. IV of 2003”.

Institute of South Asia was upgraded to the status of a university on May 29, 2004, with Chief Minister of the Punjab formally inaugurating University of South Asia.

NASA Launches Students into Orbit

In a 20-foot vertical spin tunnel at the NASA Langley Research Center, aerospace technologist Steve Riddick tests free-flying models of fighter aircraft, transport vehicles and capsule vehicles to see how they perform under different conditions. “It’s one of the better places to give a tour because there’s a lot of visual stimulation with that tunnel,” Riddick said. “You get to actually see something going on, as opposed to some computer collecting data.” And that’s what STEM is all about. As the United States focuses more on these academic subjects, NASA is on a mission to engage students, educators and families in STEM fields, as well as to strengthen the future workforce of the organization and the nation. Almost half of NASA’s current workforce consists of baby boomers, and by the end of fiscal year 2010, more than 20 percent of the organization’s workers will be eligible to retire, according to a 2008 presentation by Toni Dawsey, assistant administrator for human capital manage

Grant Attracts Minorities to STEM Fields

Image
The University of Texas at El Paso has received a five-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for nearly $2.9 million. The “Science for a Sustainable Future: Developing the Next Generation of Diverse Scientists” award will provide fellowships to minority graduate students in NSF-supported disciplines such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The doctoral students will build their science and teaching portfolios and bring their leading research findings into K-12 learning settings in an effort to inspire the next generation of scientists. The fellows will serve as a STEM resource for El Paso’s Early College High School (ECHS) science teachers and as mentors for the students, helping them build practical understandings of science. “This success in securing federal funding from the National Science Foundation is a good example of the quality of competitive proposals UTEP faculty generate, integrating education and research benefiting our students an
