Exploring New Frontiers with SSE: A Future for Tomorrow's Scientists and Engineers   November 18, 2007
LUMS SSE hosts its first event for potential students
Exploring New Frontiers with SSE: A Future for Tomorrow's Scientists and Engineers
 
LUMS School of Science and Engineering (SSE) - Pakistan's first private, research school – hosted its inaugural student-facing event on November 18, 2007 at the LUMS campus. The event, attended by over a thousand people, proved to be a great success. The attendees included the most promising science students of Lahore accompanied by their parents and the institution heads of various schools from across the city.

The event commenced with a presentation by the Dean, Dr. Asad Abidi. He outlined the vision behind the creation of SSE, enumerated the curriculum for the six specializations being offered at SSE and gave an overview of how to navigate the SSE admissions procedure. He also introduced the first-rate faculty onboard that consists of some of the best scientists of Pakistan trained at the world's great institutes. The presentation was followed by a question/answer session during which the dean and faculty responded to several pressing queries put forward to them by the audience members.

SSE Workshop 2007   January 16, 2007
About the Workshop
 
This workshop in particular will try to understand what kind of science and technology-based research can or should be done at an institution like the LUMS SSE, given its desired goal of academic excellence as well as socio-economic impact. The generalized version of this problem is: how might research universities in developing countries balance the role of academia as the explorer, conservator and transmitter of knowledge with the desire for tangible impact on society?

We hope the participants will leave with an appreciation of the SSE's vision. The participants should also be able to acknowledge the contributions of theoretical research applied to society; and the nature of contributions a school like the SSE can make to education and to Pakistan. Finally, while the discussion might focus on the SSE, we hope the manner in which we frame our questions can be generalized to building research universities in other developing countries. more...
