History of ICET

The ICET Conference is a flagship conference of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) in Pakistan. The IEEE; formed in 1963, is the world’s largest professional association whose scope of interest lies in promotion of education and research within engineering sciences & computing technologies. The mode of contribution to these areas is through research journals, conferences, member networks, and development of industry standards. Through the platform of IEEE-ICET, eminent researchers from academia and practioners from industry (both from Pakistan and Overseas) share their expertise, novel ideas, and research activities of pioneering proportions.


The conference was first launched in Pakistan in 2005 through auspices of the IEEE-Islamabad chapter, and has been conducted every year for the past one and a half decade. FAST-National University has the honor of hosting the prestigious conference for the fourth time in it’s history and has managed to bring the conference to Peshawar.
