background and notable accomplishments. Dr . Lam ia
If t ek h ar , initially, gave an informative presentation on
IEEE WIE Affinity Group, where she elucidated mission
and vision of the affinity group. She reckoned that male
students can be great allies for the female students in
STEM fields. Afterwards, Dr . Lam ia If t ek h ar initiated
the workshop. At first, she gave a brief description
about different types of websites and their applications.
Then, she went on to build a website on
www.weebly.com, an online platform and launched it.
Her prudently chosen methods helped students with no
prior coding skills to grasp the basics of building a
website. She explained the necessity of regular upgrade
of a website to maintain convenience for the users. She
emphasized the online ethics, such as, providing
acknowledgments while using elements from other
websites. On that note, she also propounded the
participants to be original while developing a website.

procedure, highlighting the different
parameters that vary with the cable
type. In the next portion of the
seminar, Abdu l Hasib Siddiqu e
discussed on XLPE and PVC cables,
as well as their voltage ranges
among other specifications.
Explaining how to select a suitable
cable, he clarified the cable
installation, cable jointing and cable
domination procedures. Lastly, he
distinguished among the various
environmental considerations to be
made during the application and
production of cables.

CHAIRPERSON (2014), IEEE AIUB STUDENT BRANCH
Vice-Ch air , IEEE You n g Pr of ession als AG, IEEE
M on t r eal Sect ion

After getting enrolled to my University for my undergraduate,

IEEE AIUB St u den t Br an ch was the first thing that gained
my full attention.
I came to know about them through their amazing activities
and from there I had this instinct telling within me that this
platform can get me where I want to be. Joining them was possibly one of my best decisions
that I have ever made. They gave me the exposure and the stage where I could test all my
potentials in many different ways.
My journey started off a volunteer after finishing my first year in my undergraduate level. At
that time I was honored to be supported by my respective executives and mentors who
helped me shape my life and taught me the sense of professionalism. Because of their
guidance, I ended up being the Chairperson of the branch in my final year. From there on
my life changed completely to a new level. I had the privilege to work with this really
awesome and dedicated team of executives and volunteers whose support got us to
accomplish so many different milestones. We achieved a lot of awards and recognitions
throughout the whole year and I?m really glad to see that this progression has been carried
on even further by the next generation whom we handed our responsibilities to.
I later moved on with my Masters to a different region in Canada. Because of the fact that
I?m profoundly connected with IEEE internationally, I am now currently involved with the
IEEE Sections here in Canada and have been designated as the Vice Ch air of IEEE You n g
Pr of ession als in M on t r eal.
But the thing is no matter where I work, IEEE AIUB St u den t Br an ch will always be special
part of my life.
They are more like a family to me and there is nothing in this world that can compare the
bonding that we had in this branch.

The concept of colonizing a planet in outer organization which has been playing a vital

AIUB Robot ic Cr ew (ARC) from Am er ican
In t er n at ion al Un iver sit y-Ban gladesh
(AIUB) with their rover ARC-71. The initiative
of making a rover for the competition was
first taken by the team leader M ah f u zu r
Rah m an , a student of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering. The team was later
formed with 17 enthusiastic students from
the Electrical and Electronic Engineering and
the Computer Science and Engineering
Department. The rover ARC-71 was
designed as per as the requirements of the
competition. It was designed in such a way
so that it could travel across different
obstacles and over rough terrain. It was also
designed in a way that it can explore and
collect soil samples and perform different
kinds of test by itself. The rover has 6
23

wheels with each of them being able to be
controlled separately. The mechanical
structure gives the rover superiority to
travel over an obstacle at a height of 8
inches. A ?V? shaped rocker bogie
suspension was used at the front and a
double wishbone suspension at the back.
The rover can carry a mass of up to 50
kilograms. It has a mechanical arm which
has 6 degrees of freedom. Two high torque
linear actuators give it power to pick up a
mass of up to 7 kilograms and the gripper
can grab different shapes of object. Using
the arm an astronaut can easily service
equipment from a distance. The electrical
system consists of 3 parts ? the power
supply and distribution unit, the control
system and the communication system.
 IssueIssue
1 | 6 Volume
| Volume 42 | |2013
For the power supply 4 Li-ion battery packs
were used, cascaded parallel with each
other providing the system a constant 36
amps of current with variable output
voltage. A power distribution unit was
designed to supply the power to different
loads and while keeping in mind the safety
measure of each component. The control
system is basically driven by a Raspberry-pi
and 2 Arduino-Mega. 6 high torque motors
were used for 6 different wheels each,
which were driven by 6 high current motor
drivers. The communication is the most
crucial part in the project since the rover has
to be controlled from a distance. The
communication unit consists of an Omni
directional antenna on the rover and a
sector antenna at the base using 2.4 GHz
channel which can cover up to 1 kilometer
radial distance. It would allow the astronaut
to control the rover with live video
streaming and real time response including
necessary feedbacks from different sensors
simultaneously. At the end comes the
Science Planning which was the most
challenging aspect throughout the entire
project. The rover has the ability to collect
soil samples and analyze it with its
24
2016

On-board Testing Module. The module
consists of several numbers of sensors and
a camera enables it to perform different
kinds of experiment and feeds the results
back to the base station. 17 students
worked behind this project for a year and it
has been one of the biggest projects of the
Department of Engineering of AIUB. The

European Rover Challenge. The project was
also showcased in many national events and
was also covered by various local
newspapers and television channels. The
project is currently under research and

Br an ch since 2013.

I have always seen this branch creating not just amazing IEEE volunteer/leaders but
also great human beings.

For past many years I have had good friends such as Alm eer Ah san , Chairperson
(2013), IEEE AIUB Student Branch; Ch ow dh u r y Ak r am Hossain , Advisor, IEEE AIUB
Student Branch; Student Activity Coordinator, IEEE Bangladesh Section; Nasim Al
Islam , Chairperson (2015), IEEE AIUB Student Branch; M oh am m ad Tau f iqu zzam an ,
Chairperson (2014), IEEE AIUB Student Branch, and more than dozen that I can count.

The IEEE AIUB St u den t Br an ch is not just a student branch, it is a process that
takes an average student and shape them into a responsible citizen by creating
interest for both engineering and community development.

I have always been a fan, follower and a supporter to AIUB and I feel really
honored when I happen to get chance to assist or guide them with any IEEE related
decision.
Wish AIUB and its amazing people all the very best for their personal and mutual
endeavors.
