HYDERABAD, June 2(Dawn): Vice Chancellor, Mehran University of Engineering and
Technology Jamshoro, Prof Dr A.Q. Khan inaugurated wireless LAN/hotspot,
e-communication software and Web Content Management System (CMS) at MUET
Jamshoro on Friday.
The task was achieved by a team of Information
Communication and Processing Centre (ICPC), headed by Prof Dr Aftab Memon,
Director ICPC, and chairman Telecommunication Engineering
Department.
Briefing the VC, Prof Dr Aftab Memon informed that now the
students, teachers and other users can use MUET Internet/Intranet facilities in
classrooms, corridors, lawns and outside departmental premises through wireless
LAN/hotspot.
He further explained about the indigenously developed MUET
new web portal and e-communication software. MUET web portal was based on
content management system and provides an easy and intuitive user interface. All
departments can update and change their data by themselves. They can create
their personal profiles, update courses, news and other resources. A sharing
server was also launched during the inaugural ceremony. The sharing server
allows teachers to upload their lectures, timetables, assignments, results,
attendance of their respective subjects. Due to online availability of
information, the students and other visitors can see the contents from any part
of the world.
The web based e-communication application takes MUET
Jamshoro into the paperless communication age. This application provides a
facility to send official letters electronically. The singular feature of this
application is that although it is paperless, it still maintains the essence of
communication procedures being practiced at public sector
organisations.
The vice chancellor appreciated the wireless hotspot and
new MUET web portal and e-communication application. He said we are moving in
the new era of information technology in which there will be no wires for
accessing Internet/Intranet facilities and it will have a complete electronic
office in which everyone will communicate without papers.
