WELCOME!

IEEE Communications Society is a premier global forum of industry and academia professionals with a common interest in advancing all communication technologies.Members interact across international and technological borders to produce publications, organize conferences, foster educational programs, promote local activities and work on technical committees. MCS has a rich history in the field of Telecommunications, and the unique honor of producing the first telecomm engineer of the country. MCS being a Centre of Excellence for Telecommunications took an initiative to establish IEEE Communications Society Islamabad Chapter at MCS considering the need of more effective liaison with IEEE communication professionals and IEEE student members and to enhance IEEE activities in the institution.
On 22nd Oct 2010, IEEE Managing Director for Member and Geographic Activities, Cecelia Jankowski announced the formation of IEEE Communications Society Islamabad Chapter at Military College of Signals (MCS), a constituent College of National University of Science and Technology (NUST) Islamabad with effect from 13th Oct 2010.  Military College of Signals arranged an inaugural ceremony of IEEE Communications Society Islamabad Chapter on 23rd Dec 2010. The ceremony was attended by Air Vice Marshal (Retired) Saleem Tariq (Chairman IEEE Islamabad Section), Major General Shahid Maqbool (Commandant MCS) along with Dean, Head of Departments, faculty members and students. Members of IEEE Islamabad Section Executive Committee, academia and industry professionals also attended the event.
IEEE Communications Society Chapter at MCS is the 3rd IEEE Communications Society Chapter in Pakistan after Lahore Chapter at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and Karachi Chapter at Mehran University. MCS believes that Islamabad Chapter will greatly benefit the whole community of communication engineers residing in Rawalpindi/Islamabad and surroundings. Islamabad Chapter will provide an opportunity to the students to meet and learn from fellow students, as well as faculty members and professionals related to communication technologies. Islamabad Chapter will arrange seminars on latest communication trends at MCS which will enable the students to enhance their knowledge outside the classroom and joint seminars will allow students to meet and talk with other interested students. Islamabad Chapter will arrange student professional awareness conferences which will help to increase awareness of professional issues. The student professional awareness venture program will give teams of IEEE student members the opportunity to develop project proposals to increase professional awareness and receive funding to implement the project. IEEE Communications Society will also sponsor regional student paper contests and faculty counselor recognition award programs to promote outstanding students and faculty. Conferences, seminars and workshops arranged in the Islamabad region will be able to get financial and technical sponsorship through this Chapter. The proceedings of the events will be available at IEEE Xplore and IEEE Communications Society Digital Library.
