The main theme of organizing such training is to facilitate and enhance the simulation skills of researchers/ students in their research and projects.
The students as well as the faculty staff of Electrical Engineering department was invited to attend the Seminar.
After the Recitation by Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Asif the Seminar formally started by the introduction of Mr. Subhan Khan presented by Mr. Asad.

Mr. Subhan gave the introduction of MATLAB/Simulink that is a high level language which provides an interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization and programming.
After that briefly discussed about GUIs (Graphical User Interface) that it provides point‐and‐click control of software applications (apps), eliminating the need to learn a language or type commands in order to run the application. The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) is the language used to display three‐ dimensional objects with a VRML viewer. The complexity in the Simulink model is reduced if a user interface in the form of a GUI is available. Both GUI and VRML are useful in research as it is easier to understand any system with its 3D animations and control through GUI.
Since most of the projects in Electrical Engineering Department are based on MATLAB, therefore, it is a good opportunity for students/researchers to learn GUI and VRML in MATLAB.
Presentation is divided into two parts.
1) GUI (Graphical User Interface) in MATLAB/Simulink
2) VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) in MATLAB/SIMULINK

Discussed about the MATLAB GUI control objects.
After that show how to model and then interface VRML in MATLAB.

In the end, special note of thanks on behalf of IEEE‐ CIIT Lahore branch to the Guests who gave moments of their precisions time.
Dr. Mujtaba Jaffery (CAPE Head) Dr. Hafiz Muhammad Asif Dr. Tariq Humayun Dr. Irfan
And the other faculty
Mr. Ameer Hamza Mr. Muhktar Khalid Mr. Ahsan Khalid Ghori
On the whole IEEE‐ CIIT Lahore branch members insure the quality of society and managed a very well organized healthy competition among the students that was praised very well by the guests.
