Introduction

Student research conferences serve as a platform for the undergraduate students to present their

research work in aerospace and related fields and a chance to contribute and compete at

international level. The conference provides an excellent opportunity to the students to interact

with the professionals from aerospace industry and educational sector, and network with other

aerospace students. Through their interaction in the conference, the researchers develop long

lasting technical links among themselves. Such a co-operation not only benefits the process of

research but also brings the engineers and scientists closer in terms of exchange of knowledge and

experience.

Institute of Space Technology (IST), Islamabad, organized the First Student Research Paper

Conference on 6th -7th August, 2014. The event was organized for the first time in Pakistan by

AIAA student branch at IST in which 55 research papers from the students of IST and external

universities were presented and evaluated by the judges. The best papers were awarded AIAA

memberships and cash awards by the student chapter.

Conference Proceedings

Inaugural Session

The Inaugural Ceremony was held at 10:00 hrs. on August 6th, 2014 in the IST auditorium. World

renowned scientist and professor, Dr. N. M. Butt was the chief guest at the occasion. Engr. Imran

Rahman was the chairman of the conference while Dr. Abid Ali Khan was the conference

secretary.

The ceremony commenced with the recitation

of the holy Quran. The secretary of the

conference Dr. Abid Ali Khan, Faculty chair

AIAA chapter and HOD Aeronautics &

Astronautics, IST welcomed the participants

and explained the proceedings. Dr. Mudassar

Farooq, Dean IST, delivered the keynote

address. He advised the students to think out of

the box and that their approach towards

engineering problems should be inquisitive and

research oriented. He said that the purpose of SRPC was to provide a platform to the students of

different universities to display their research work on the dynamic fields of Space Science and

Engineering, including Aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, control systems, Space-craft

engineering and communication systems, Remote Sensing and Geographical information science,

Materials Science, and Space Sciences. He was hopeful that SRPC would promote



interdisciplinary understanding of aerospace &

engineering systems, their underlying science

and technology, and their importance and

applications.

The chief guest, Dr. N. M. Butt, in his inaugural

address, emphasized that the key to the

development for any nation is to provide

opportunities of state-of-the-art education to

the youth. He focused on the importance of

rapidly-growing modern field of Nano-

technology. He motivated the students by

giving the example of Dr. Abdus Salam’s

tremendous accomplishments. Many Pakistani

universities are now ranked in the top 300

universities of the world. Research activities

and publications of Pakistani authors have

increased exponentially. He quoted the Royal

Society of London calling the talented

Pakistani students to meet Noble Laureates for

inspiration. Moreover, he mentioned that the

Pakistani youth is very talented and it has

always come up with the innovatory ideas. The

chief guest was presented with the shield of the

conference by the Dean, IST.



Plenary Session

A plenary session was held after the inaugural ceremony in which three renowned speakers gave

their talks in their respective fields.

Dr. Sara Qaiser discussed the importance of

Nano materials and the ongoing research on

Nano materials in Pakistan. She gave an

overview of the scope on Nano materials in

future technologies and how these

materials are helpful for engineers and

scientists.

Dr. Muhammad Farooq started his address

from the very basics of microscopy and

took it further to the advanced techniques

being used in this field. Moreover he also

gave importance to the use of microscopy

for the further advancement of science and

technology, since this field is associated

with every aspect of science directly or

indirectly.

Dr. M. Bilal Malik discussed the

importance of higher studies for engineers.

He shared his experience of PhD students

with the audience, addressed their related

questions very satisfactorily. He also told

the audience about the trends in research of

PhD students throughout the world

highlighting the scope of research available

for Pakistani students around the world.



Technical Session Two parallel technical sessions were held during the conference. More than 55 student research

papers were presented in the technical sessions. List of Papers presented are attached in Appendix

A. The list of keynote speakers in different technical sessions is also given in the table below.

These Keynote speakers also chaired and co-chaired the technical sessions.

Poster Competition

Undergraduate students also presented their papers in the form of posters. The posters were judged

by the faculty members of Aeronautics & Astronautics and Electrical Engineering, IST. The judges

evaluated the posters and gave their views about this competition. Meanwhile they also gave useful

tips to the participating students about how to present the paper graphically and convey the

meaning of the papers in a single poster. The list of poster presentations is attached in Appendix

B.



Panel Discussion Panel discussion was headed by Dr. Abid Ali Khan, Faculty chair AIAA chapter, IST and Head

department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Institute of Space Technology. HODs of Electrical

Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Space Science, and Mechanical Engineering

department were also there along with the faculty members of all departments. This discussion

was very useful for the students as they could directly ask questions to the faculty members,

whether they are of academic nature or related to higher studies abroad. Faculty members shared

their experiences with different universities of the world and advised students to go for higher

studies and actively participate in the researches. Student feedback was also taken in this

discussion and students expressed their views and suggested that these kinds of conferences should

held frequently so that they know about the ongoing researches and they can share their knowledge

using these types of platforms.

Concluding Session Concluding ceremony of first student research paper conference was chaired by Dr. Mudassar

Farooq, Dean IST, Dr. Abid Ali Khan, Faculty chair AIAA chapter and HoD Department of

Aeronautics and Astronautics, and the chief guest Dr. Anjum Tauqeer. Dr. Abid Ali Khan

expressed his views about the successful event of its type in IST. He congratulated the organizing

team, judges, the faculty members and the audience for making this event memorable. He

concluded his address by sharing certain statistics of the conference like the participant students

and the number of papers presented.

Dr. Mudasser Farooq gave importance to the research process and advised students to think out of

the box and go for the innovatory solutions of engineering problems. He gave an overview of the

ongoing research in IST and the research based final year projects of the students. He advised

students to bring change in the traditional processes of research in the field of science and

technology.



Dr. Anjum Tauqeer, in his very brief address,

appreciated the idea of arranging such student

conferences at university level. He focused on

the fact that research plays a key role in the

development and growth of engineering

students and by sharing their research from the

basic level can prepare them to present their

work at higher levels later. The chief guest of

the concluding session was presented a

conference shield by the Dean IST.

Awards The student research papers and posters were evaluated by the evaluation committee of the SRPC.

The evaluation was based on various factors depicting quality of research. The best student

research papers were awarded different prizes which are listed below:

Best Student Research Paper Award (Cash Prize Rs. 5000 and Merit Certificate)
