REVIT: Upcoming Hands-On Workshop

Islamabad, July 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):The rise of BIM software has revolutionized the field of Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry. The extraordinary capabilities of Revit make it an essential tool for every modern construction project. Its features are not simply handy – they help multifunctional teams make the best of their efforts, as well as minimize errors, reduce risk, and optimize schedules.

Revit provides you with the means to effectively manage all project stages, including pre-planning and long-term maintenance upon completion. Unlike standard CAD software, Revit has functionality specifically designed for 3D modeling of buildings and other complex structures. The smart building models that Revit produces integrate vital data for the project accessible at any time and from anywhere.

Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization (ORIC), under BIM Center of Excellence, CUST is offering Two Days Hands-on Workshop on “REVIT Structure Fundamentals” on 16th-17th August, 2022 (11:00 AM-05:00 PM).

Exploring Baltistan: 300 LUMS and UoBS students pair up for a summer of experiential learning 

Lahore, July 29, 2022 (PPI-OT):Amidst much excitement and high expectations, the ‘Learning Without Borders – The Baltistan Experience’ initiative commenced in Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan this July. Under this programme, 150 students from LUMS, and 150 students from University of Baltistan (UoBS), have come together for a month in Skardu to learn with, and from, each other.

This first-of-its-kind project features five experiential learning courses: Life Sciences, Entrepreneurship, E-commerce, Water Informatics, and Green Energy. Each course is designed and taught together by faculty from LUMS and UoBS to provide students with an immersive experience so that they are better equipped to solve challenges and make an impact in the future.

Each visiting student from LUMS is partnered with a Balti counterpart to enable cross-cultural communication and learning through close and sustained interaction. Students also get to explore the awe-inspiring local landscapes and participate in activities like campouts, hikes and watching polo matches.

Through the on-campus classes at the Allama Iqbal Open University in Skardu, course-based field trips to various locations such as the Sadpara Dam and Deosai Plains, interactions with students from different educational, cultural, and social contexts, and joint participation in recreational activities, students are able to have an immersive learning experience that helps prepare them to propose innovative solutions to regional and global challenges.

This ambitious goal was realised in December 2021, when a 10-member delegation from UoBS, led by the Vice Chancellor, Dr. Naeem Khan, participated in a week-long workshop at the LUMS Learning Institute, co-facilitated by LUMS Vice Chancellor, Dr. Arshad Ahmad. Together, faculty members from both universities co-created and co-designed the five courses that are being taught this summer.

While sharing his remarks on the commencement of the programme, Dr. Ahmad said, “This is just the beginning of an exhilarating learning experience for the students of LUMS and University of Baltistan and I appreciate the hard work and dedication of the faculty members who prepared the courses for their students. Their efforts have been instrumental, and we look forward to making learning without borders more impactful.” The activities of this once-in-a-lifetime learning experience can be viewed on the official Facebook page of Learning Without Borders – The Baltistan Experience.
