THE NEW CENTRAL LIBRARYTHE NEW CENTRAL LIBRARYTHE NEW CENTRAL LIBRARYTHE NEW CENTRAL LIBRARY

OF MUETOF MUETOF MUETOF MUET

AAAAlibrary I s a collection of sources,resources, and services, and the structure in

which it is housed: it is organized for use and

maintained by a public body, an institution, or

a private individual. In the more traditional

sense, a library is a collection of books. The

term can mean the collection, the building that

houses such a collection, or both. The library

may be public or institutional.

In almost every institute of world,

students are provided with the facility of

library. That has two main purposes, first and

most important is that students may have some

place to spend their leisure in studying or some

research work. The other purpose is that the

students may get the books issued from there

for a particular time.

Talking about the old Central Library of

MUET, many of the students had even not

bothered to get the library card due to few

reasons. One of the reasons was that they had

seen the crowd inside over each other tryinghard for getting books. The amount of books

was also very small as compared to the number

of students. If any one had to get the books

issued, he would have to get at the cost of

leaving his classes and be in library for whole

day. There was also a very good and silent

room for studying and passing leisure in

reading books or any other creative activity for

the hard working students.

.But the main problem with that librarywas its location. One can say that the library

was located in a corner of campus. Only the

students of Electrical, Civil, Mechanical and

C.R.P could use it regularly. For the students

of other departments it was not so easy to go to

library and use it at any time because they had

to cover a long distance to reach there. This

was one of the major reasons that most of the

students of IT departments did not use the

library

Now as the new Central Library has been

inaugurated, it is located in the centre of campusso students from any department can come and

use their time in some creative activity. There are

various floors dedicated for each work. Ground

floor is only for book returning. 1st floor is

dedicated for the students who are interested in

reading books. There is a huge hall with separate

portions for boys and girls. A very good number

of books on almost every subject are available

with electronic catalogue system. Now students

dont need to rush towards mid-point after being

free from classes because its a very good place

and students will really love to sit there and utiliz

their time. 2nd floor is for book issuing. Book

issuing system is also new and nice. Now student

dont need to wait whole day for their turn to get

the books but they just have to go and search for

books themselves. If some one finds the books,

can get issued easily.

BY Saadullah Kalwar 07TL21

As the library has just started working, its

timing is 9am 2 pm. But we hope it will soon be

opened in evening as well so that the hostellers

can utilize it more effectively. There is no any

photo copying, printing and scanning facility at

the moment. We request higher authorities to

please consider such things so that students may

get as more as possible from the Library for whic

they had been waiting for years.

There is a need for effective student representation in oureducational institutes. We have a long way to go in this regard. Asstudents in our education institutes virtually spent dormant life. Itseems that their sole purpose is to get (not earn) degree and grabgood job to make money. We should realize that this should bechanged.We need to establish Student Action committees which can uphold

the core values of providing a platform for every student voice andhelp enhance the quality of student life. It should consistently beable to deliver tangible results and strive to continue to fulfill thatresponsibility. Student Action committee should be a party thatlearns from the past, acts in the present, and builds for the future.We are glad that some students of our departments from Faculty ofelectrical, electronics and computer engineering, MUET havealready taken initiatives in the form of M.U.S.T Forum which isrunning and flourishing as the time passes. However, to keep suchcommittees alive, we need to institutionalize them and the first stepin that direction would be to kill the typical lack of participationattitude from our students and faculty members. We need to devisea strategy which not only ensures the increased participation ofstudents but also increases the usefulness of such forums/committees. Keeping this in mind, we in this article would like tointroduce the readers what actions have already been taken toestablish such committees and also propose future plans. But firstlets start from the scratch by introducing what are Student ActionCommittees (SACs)?

What are SACs?

SACs -- These committees formed by the students are arepresentation of those individuals who want to mould their studentlife in a better way. These organizations/committees work on anumber of activities including student supervising, newsletterpublications, seminar placements, book fairs, project fairs, fundraising, establishing blood banks and more. 'Student societies oftenaim to facilitate a particular activity or promote a belief system;although some (explicitly) require nothing more than that a memberis a student. Some are not affiliated with a specific university and/oraccept non-university students.'

Importance of SACsThe activities of a student should not only be confined to books. There are a numberof activities that the student should engage himself into, which would help him andother students as well. To initiate such a committee, the first thing that the studentshould realize is the thing which he is best at. Either its leadership, management,problem solving, or a lot of other factors could be taken into consideration.

By establishing a student action committee, an individual is actually nourishing his

personality, the environment and providing his services to other individuals in a betterway. This would enhance his confidence, leadership skills, time management skills,problem solving, team management and a number of other elements.

These committees provide a platform to students to engage in a number of projectsthat are hard to initiate on standalone basis. For example, a student cannot initiate ablood bank all by himself, he has to engage a lot of other people in his project. This iswhere the need of an effective Student Action Committee arises.

MUST -- A Student Action Committee at Mehran UET!

Mehran Universitys students have brought some revolutionary ideas that shape inM.U.S.T forum. MUST is a non-political body and most of its agenda and activities areconcerned with the campus life of the students. The acute and primary task ofM.U.S.T forum is to understand the students educational needs and provide them thesolutions of respective subjects problems. M.U.S.T forum is currently in its infantstages but progressing with the support of all teachers of concerned departments, ef-forts of its members and appreciable students corporation of various disciplines.

Future Projects

Student's Life Committee: Many students come to MUET scareragging and bullying but when the left they often have tears in their eyBut they all start loving this institute in hard way. We aim to stimulate process of enjoying campus life as quickly as possible. The cobjective of this committee is to help the students quickly familiarize wthe campus life of MUET and make him/her part of our big family!

Establish Blood bank where each student will be requestedprovide his/ her details of Blood group and contact address so that tcan be approached in the times of emergency Already started worki

Accommodation Committee where the volunteers/officials accumulate the first hand information of how to apply for hostel roomMUET and contact details for private property lenders in JamshHyderabad.

Recreational Committee where the volunteers/officials will organ

one-day or multi-day tours during Weekends, Mid-terms, winter summer vacations. And also make efforts to organize Sporting eve(inter-departmental or interuniversity or even at higher level). Trecreational committee should NOT need any financial support and the potential to sustain it. As throughout world (and don't forget we are part of this world) students pay themselves for Tours participation in Sporting Events. Of course when they will organize twill get all sorts of benefits and Discounts from University and of couthe owners of touring spots.

Event Organizing Committee where the officials will take effortorganize Workshops/ Seminars/Conferences/Extra Classes/Quiz, Bfairs, debate or Project Competitions.

Students Money Matters Committee where the members willaccumulate the information for different scholarships and everystudent will be able to get necessary information from one point.Inthis regard, 2KES Scholarship Foundation supporting studentsfinancially has agreed to closely work with MUST to bring thisfoundation under the umbrella of Students Money Matters CommittFor further details about the foundation please visit:

MUETs Women AffairFemale students or the staff of MUET facemost problems than any body else, ranging from access to propertransport, obnoxious hooting, stalking to sexual harassment andgender discrimination. We believe that some of those problems canbe resolved if we coordinate and organize. Keeping this in mindMUST forum has decided to form a committee exclusively for theWomen at MUET. We also hope that the female staff teaching and

otherwise will also honor us by becoming part of this committee.

We also intend to engage closely with Student Welfare de-partment and MUETs Sport department to work togetherfor the welfare of Students. We are confident in hoping thatseeing our passion and determination the officials of SWDand Sports section will encourage and cooperate with us inbest possible manner.

MUST forum is now being officially registered by the coop-eration of Chairman ES Sir Bhawani Shankar Chowdhry.For that we are ever grateful to him. We, as representativeof the MUST forum, would also like to thank ourVice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Abdul Qadeer Rajput for consider-ing our request to legalize this forum. We would also like torequest the higher authorities to stretch out their hands fortheir essential cooperation and to help us so that we canextend this forum to other departments as well and cover

the whole university.

We would like to end this article thanking you for readingand with the following quote Self improvement can beachieved but not with a quick fix. It is long arduous journeyof personal experiences and discoveries Lisa Simpson The Simpsons

INTERNSHIP AT SIEMENSINTERNSHIP AT SIEMENSINTERNSHIP AT SIEMENSINTERNSHIP AT SIEMENS

BY Kapal Dev 07ES60Edited By Ms. Maya 07ES72

Nowadays, everyone is crazy for doing internship in vacations, so was I this summer. Let me share

my perception about what an internship is.

It is actually a process in which a student or recent graduate gets practical training under experts

supervision. Interns are usually university students, but they can be post graduate adults as well,

seeking skills for a better career.

An internship may be paid, unpaid or partially paid (in the form of a stipend). Paid internships are

most common in the medical, architecture science, engineering, law, business (especially accounting

and finance), and technology and advertising fields

Internships may be part-time or full-time; typically they are part-time during the university year and

full-time in the summer.

I did internship this summer (b/w June- July) at SIEMENS, where I got a chance to enhance mypractical knowledge and abilities. Siemens usually send interns to project working site, in order to

get maximum benefit but, unfortunately they couldnt manage that for me due certain reasons.

Siemens is working in almost six to seven cities of Pakistan i-e, Karachi, bhitshah, Sehwan etc. I

have visited different sections there like automation, infrastructure and transformer section. After

visiting these sections I have got some practical knowledge but it would have been better if they

have taken me to their project working site but still I must say something is better than nothing.

Here are few pictures of automation and infrastructure departments, which I visited.


9/12

Many universities give awards that financially support students

ver the summer in lieu of full-time internships so that they can

evelop their entrepreneurial skills. Previously MUET was not

part of it but it is good to know that now and onwards it will

upport through the platform of IEEE-MUET students chapter.

nternship may or may not contribute in order to get a handsome

ob nowadays but it is always a good experience. Its always

ood to see actual work environment of companies that willelp us a lot in future and will not let us face any type of

roblem.

Different teachers suggested me that you must do at least, one

nternship during your four years bachelors life and also do

ome useful courses/workshops related to our field.

NOTE: if any body wants to do internship in Siemens, he/she

must have following things and go through this process:

You must have university letter, CV and two passport size

photos.

Above documents must be submitted to Rana Fahid Rasheed

in HR department.

ARRAYS (FPGAS)ARRAYS (FPGAS)ARRAYS (FPGAS)ARRAYS (FPGAS)By Noman Palijo 06TL60

The History of Programmable LogicBy the late 70s, standard logic devices were the rage and printed circuit

boards were loaded with them. Then someone asked the question: What if wegave the designer the ability to implement different interconnections in a biggerdevice? This would allow the designer to integrate many standard logic devicesinto one part. In order to give the ultimate in design flexibility Ron Cline fromSignetics (which was later purchased by Philips and then eventually Xilinx) cameup with the idea of two programmable planes. The two programmable planesprovided any combination of AND and OR gates and sharing of AND termsacross multiple ORs. This architecture was very flexible, but at the time due to

wafer geometry's of 10um the input to output delay or propagation delay (Tpd)was high which made the devices relatively slow.

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs)

In 1985, a company called Xilinx introduced a completely new idea. Theconcept was to combine the user control and time to market of PLDs(Programmable Logic Devices) with the densities and cost benefits of gatearrays. A lot of customers liked it - and the FPGA was born. Today Xilinx is still

the number one FPGA vendor in the world.An FPGA is a regular structure of logic cells or modules and interconnect

which is under the designers complete control. This means the user can design,program and make changes to his circuit whenever he wants. And with FPGAsnow exceeding the 10 million gate limit (Xilinx Virtex-II is the current recordholder), the designer can dream big.

With the introduction of the Spartan range of FPGAs we can now competewith Gate Arrays on all aspects - price, gate and I/O count, performance andcost! The new Spartan IIE will provide up to 300k gates at a price point that

enables Application Specific Standard Product (ASSP) replacement. For examplea Reed Solomon IP Core implemented in a Spartan II XC2S100 FPGA has aneffective cost of $9.95 whereas the equivalent ASSP would cost around $20.

There are 2 basic types of FPGAs: SRAM-based reprogrammable andOne-time programmable (OTP). These two types of FPGAs differ in theimplementation of the logic cell and the mechanism used to make connections inthe device. The dominant type of FPGA is SRAM-based and can bereprogrammed by the user as often as the user chooses. In fact, an SRAM FPGAis reprogrammed every time it is powered-up because the FPGA is really a fancymemory chip! (Thats why you need a serial PROM or system memory with everySRAM FPGA).


11/12

In the SRAM logic cell, instead of conventional gates there is instead aLook Up Table (LUT) which determines the output based on the values of theinputs. (In the SRAM logic cell diagram above you can see 6 differentcombinations of the 4 inputs that will determine the values of the output).SRAM bits are also used to make connections. One-time programmable (OTP)FPGAs use anti-fuses (contrary to fuses, connections are made not blownduring programming) to make permanent connections in the chip and so do notrequire a SPROM or other means to download the program to the FPGA.However, every time you make a design change, you must throw away thechip! The OTP logic cell is very similar to PLDs with dedicated gates andflip-flops.
