Balochistan University of Engineering and Technology(Balochistan)

Introduces the birth of BUET and its location
The Birth of BUET
The province of Balochistan , with its vast and diverse area about 0.347 million sq. Km and with scattered population of about 4.3 millions, spread over rugged and harsh topology with scarce means of communications and with hardly 5 inches of annual precipitation and limited irrigation options, has remained neglected and isolated from the main land for a long time.

With a view to bringing it at part, socially and economically with the rest of the country, the Government has undertaken a large number of development schemes, success of which was not forthcoming primarily because the province did not have any Engineering college of its own.

A limited number of students from the province were nominated for admission in different Engineering Institutions in other provinces of Pakistan which was not adequate to meet the growing need for engineers in the country. Besides, the socio-economic and educational constraints prevailing in the province, discouraged the large number of students from getting education in Engineering Institutions in other provinces.

Over long span of time it was therefore, seriously realized that an adequate education leading to graduation in engineering should be imparted in Balochistan as well.

The Federal Government, taking into consideration these factors, announced the establishment of the then Balochistan Engineering College at Khuzdar in 1973-74. The project of the college was given administrative approval by ECNEC in 1977. After passing through different phases of construction, the college was in a position to start its First year engineering classes in 1987-88 in the disciplines of Civil, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering respectively. The institution was subsequently raised to the level of University after seven years of its successful performance, in the later half of 1994.

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...

University of Malakand,Chakdara(NWFP)

bout the University University of Malakand is one of the public Sector universities of North West Frontier Province (N.W.F.P), Pakistan. The University was established through a charter issued by the Governor N-W.F.P. on August 30th, 2001 and is recognized by the Higher Education Commission (formerly UGC), Islamabad. The University has been working sincerely towards the attainment of excellence as well as character-building; and to inculcate in its students the spirit of inquiry, research, dedication and zeal, so that they will be able to bring prosperity in the country. In this way we can walk along the developed nations with honour and pride. With dedication and devotion, we can revive the memories of the city of Cordova, known as Madinat-ul-Ilm in Muslim Spain, which remained the cradle of knowledge and research for centuries Europe also looked up to it for the acquisition of knowledge. History Thirst for knowledge has been spoken of as the las...
