Industry Academia Linkages


Industry Academia Linkages

 

Under the visionary leadership of Dr. Shahzad Sarwar, Dean of the Faculty of Computing & IT (FCIT), the faculty has taken significant strides to fortify Industry-Academia Linkages. In this endeavor, FCIT organized multiple sessions featuring insights and guidance from its distinguished alumni.

These sessions aimed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge, ranging from the latest industry trends to the ethical considerations essential for conducting impactful Final Year Projects (FYPs). With active participation from students, these events fostered a platform for learning, collaboration, and innovation, bridging academic learning with real-world applications.

FCIT remains committed to preparing its students for the challenges and opportunities of the digital era through such initiatives.

 

 

 

 

The presentation titled "Beyond Graduation: Unveiling the Significance of Your Final Year Project," delivered by FCIT alumnus Muhammad Junaid Butt, Co-Founder & COO of Tiksom Limited, emphasized the crucial role of final year projects in shaping students' careers beyond graduation. The enlightening talk was aimed to highlight the opportunities that final year projects provide in bridging academia with industry. It encouraged students to view their projects not just as academic requirements but as platforms for innovation, career development, and future professional growth. The event was held on July 4, 2024, at the FCIT Quaid-e-Azam Campus, and on July 9, 2024, at the Allama Iqbal Campus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The talk titled "Dos & Don’ts of FYP" delivered by Mr. Muhammad Ahmed Buksh, co-founder of Cogent Labs and an FCIT alumnus with over 7 years of experience in Pakistan's software industry, was an insightful session aimed at guiding students on effective practices for their final year design projects (FYDPs).

Hosted by the Faculty of Computing and IT (FCIT) at the Quaid-e-Azam Campus on August 5, 2024, the session emphasized the critical role of FYPs in demonstrating technical and problem-solving skills, which are essential for professional growth. Mr. Buksh provided actionable advice, including how to scope projects effectively, leverage technological trends, and avoid common pitfalls like bias, procrastination, and herd mentality. He also encouraged students to own their ideas, understand them thoroughly, and approach their work with integrity and innovation.

This event showcased FCIT's dedication to fostering industry-academia linkages and empowering students to excel in their academic and professional endeavors under the mentorship of Dr. Muddassira Arshad, Dr. Arifa Mirza, with support & vision of Dean Dr. Shahzad Sarwar.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The talk titled "From Idea to Implementation: Selecting the Ideal FYP Tech Stack" was presented by Mr. Fahad Azeem, Co-Founder & CTO of Tiksom Limited and an alumnus of FCIT, on August 13, 2024, at the Quaid-e-Azam Campus. The session, hosted by the Faculty of Computing and IT (FCIT) aimed to equip final year project (FYP) students with insights into selecting the most effective technological stack for their projects.

With over 12 years of industry experience in driving successful projects, Mr. Azeem shared his expertise on various topics, including the categories of mobile, web, and desktop applications, alongside the latest trends in development technologies. He elaborated on different tech stacks such as Web Development and Mobile Development stacks and outlined key criteria for choosing the most appropriate stack for specific project needs. Emphasizing alignment with industry demands, he guided students on selecting technologies and programming languages that cater to evolving market trends.

This session was part of FCIT's ongoing efforts to strengthen industry-academia linkages, empowering students to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical implementation and make informed decisions in their professional journeys.
