NED & Alumni GivingThis forum is dedicated to discussing how NED alumni can play a role in enhancing the academic life, extra-curricular activities and international perception of their alma mater. This is well established tradition in the United States and, recently, IIT of India has started emulating this tradition. The result has been a remarkable improvement in the perception of IITs in the West. IIT graduates now come with a cachet rarely accorded foreign institutions of higher learning by US industry and academia. Can we, the NED alums, do the same for NED? Please offer your thoughts. |

Resources for motivated self-learnersThe fundamental skill we all need to have learned by the time we are in an institution of higher learning like NEDUET is to learn on our own. We need to be self-motivated to seek the resources to educate ourselves about our specialized field and our general education about the world to learn independently and think analytically and act without whining. This forum is dedicated to life-long self learners who have no interest in learning by rote just to pass the exams and get a degree.With all of the online resources availlable including free access to course materials at the top universities, abundance of online knowledge such as Wikipedia, it is now more possible than ever. Some examples are : 1. Over 1700 MIT free online courses at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm 2. Online encyclopedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page 3. Online Research Networks such as www.innocentive.com With proliferation of such resources, any self-motivated person, faculty or student can master the material in their g=field of choice regardless of any other issues or excuses. Let's talk about what we can do and not focus on the negatives. |

Culture of Achievement & Entrepreneurship among NEDiansHow can we promote a culture of achievement in education, entrepreneurship and self-reliance among fellow NEDians? How about looking at some of the role models who have made significant accomplishments after graduating from NED? What did they do? How did they do it? How can we emulate them? Or chart our own course that leads to even greater success? Let's talk about these things in this forum. |

Opportunities in PakistanMany in the NEDian diaspora who have been away from home for a while often think about returning. This forum is meant to discuss the opportunities and downsides of returning to Pakistan. Members are encouraged to share the experience in a rational way weighing the positives and the negatives of such a move. |

Science and Technology Education in PakistanThe quality of Science & Technology education has a direct impact on the economic, social, military and political strength and international standing of a nation. The nations that dominate the world today and the new emerging powers have on thing in common: their focus on world-class institutions of higher learning in science and technology. The obvious examples are the universities in US and Western Europe and the IIT system in India. What is your view of the state of science & tech education in Pakistan? How does NED stack up versus IIT? What can be done to enhance it? Please discuss it with focus on understanding the causes and finding possible solutions. |
