Workshops, seminars and courses run by the group for students, engineers and industry.

Workshops and courses

  • Robotics Training Workshop

    15 to 17 March 2017, Control Systems Lab, EE Department. With IEEE PES CUI Lahore

    Three days led by instructors linked with the NUST National Engineering Robotics Contest (NERC), who have run the same workshop at LUMS and Imperial College of Business Studies. Day 1 covered robot design in Pro/E, motor sizing and robot specifications; day 2, robot electronics and circuit simulation in Proteus and Multisim; day 3, robot algorithms and Arduino programming with LabVIEW, MATLAB and Visual Micro.

  • Awareness Seminar on Energy Efficiency and Conservation

    One day

    Energy management under ISO 50001, and the energy performance of motors, pumps, compressed air systems, melting furnaces and steam boilers, each with its own self-assessment tool.

  • Industrial Automation and Process Control Design

    FSK Institute of Technical Trainings (FITT), with MEGA Energy, China

    Hands-on training on Siemens S7-300, S7-400 and S7-1200 PLCs, HMI touch panels, remote I/O and WinCC SCADA. Participants build and change STEP 7 projects based on real industrial scenarios, and receive a FITT certificate at the end.
