Hamdard University has organized 5th IEEE Student Conference on Engineering Sciences and Technology (SCONEST 2016) along with 1st Hamdard University Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (HU STEM 2016) Research Symposium. I was assigned the job of Conference Secretary for SCONEST 2016. It was a great opportunity and nice experience. In the opening session at Bait al-Hikmah Auditorium on December 14, 2016 snap below (from left) Prof. Dr. Manzoor Hussain Soomoro (at Podium), President ECO4Science Foundation and Chief Guest, Dr. Tariq Javid (myself), Prof. Dr. Pervez Akhtar, Director HIET and Conference Co-Chair, Prof. Dr. Hk. Abdul Hannan, Vice Chancellor and Conference General Chair, Engr. Irfan Ahmad, Advisor on Renewable Energy China Hydro Power Project, Prof. Dr. Vali Uddin, Dean FEST and Conference Chair, and Mr. Ali Suleman, Chair IEEE HIET Student Branch.

Memory Recall: BCBGC-09 USA
In 2009, NUST sponsored a visit to Orlando, USA to present research work at BCBGC-09. Few pictures are posted here (courtesy of Syed Nayyer Abbas Kazmi, IIU, Islamabad).
Dia Diagram Editor
Dia is an application available at LINK to create technical diagrams. A very useful, however, requires sparing sometime to learn. For starters, you may need to try "Toggles snap-to-grid" and "Toggles object snapping." Further, on properties set Font and Font size.

Photos from ICEEST 2016
There are two papers in this conference which is organized by Iqra University, Karachi. The papers are presented by Engr. Azhar Dilshad and Engr. Pardeep Kumar. Two keynote speakers and session chairs are Dr. Vali Uddin Abbas and Dr. Muhammad Faisal Khan. Well, my contribution is in the form of a couple of questions. Photos are courtesy of Azfar Ghani

Example 4-1 from Make: AVR Programming (2014)
This post is based on classroom demonstration of Example 4-1 from book Make: AVR Programming by Elliot Williams. The demonstration has three variations in cylonEyes.c listing on pp. 60-61. The Proteus simulation model is shown below. Then comes program codes and a short movie clip.
