This Presentation will cover following Points Introduction Purpose Progress Achievements Goals Procedure
Introduction
STEM Career Program (SCP) is a joint venture of Higher Education Commission (HEC) & Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Science (PIEAS) It has two fold Mission To inspire youth of the Nation to opt for careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and preparing them for participation in the annual International Olympiad in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. To encourage engineering students to come up with innovative solutions to problems of national interest preferably related to local industry and R & D. National Science Talent Contest (NSTC) strives to address the first part of the mission, and National Engineering Competition (NEC) address the second part of the mission.
The National Science Talent Contest (NSTC) is a regular annual event since 2003. It is an extension of the National Physics Talent Contest (NPTC), which was initiated by PlEAS in 1995. It strives NSTC National Science Talent Contest to vitalize science education at the intermediate level, a crucial stage for professional career choices. About NSTC, and earlier NPTC, won national and international recognition for the country by winning silver and bronze medals and honorable mentions. The participants of this Contest are selected and groomed through a rigorous process.

NSTC Life Cycle Students, who scored an aggregate of 70% or more marks 9 th,10 th,o Level, FSc (Part-I), A Level (Part-I). Achievements Registration & selection process Screening Test Nationwide Screening Test conducts in the major cities. Top 50 students are invited for one week fully residential training camps in each of the NSTC subject on the basis of their performance in the Screening Test. The grooming/selection process gradually narrows down this number to 4-6 best students in each of these subjects. ISO s (International Science Olympiads) Shortlist for training Olympiad teams of 4-6 students are selected through a series of subsequent training camps during a year for participation of International Science Olympiads to represent their country. Pakistan is regularly participating in the International Physics Olympiad since 2001, in the Mathematics Olympiad since 2005 and in the Biology and Chemistry Olympiad since 2006. The performances of Pakistani teams in these Olympiads have been quite encouraging.

Steps for Inviting talented Students Publish Advertisement in major National Dailies. Send Posters & Introductory packages to more than 7000 schools/colleges across Pakistan. To contact maximum schools/colleges through social media (Email, Facebook, Twitter). Progress To send Posters to more than 2000 STEM Alumni through emails with request for presentation to their nearest schools/colleges. STEM website, Facebook page and Twitter are being updated regularly. Moreover, top position holders of all BISEs across Pakistan are also invite to attend NSTC training camps without screening test.
Pakistan is regularly participating in the International Physics Olympiad since 2001, in the Mathematics Olympiad since ISOs International Science Olympiads 2005 and in the Biology and Chemistry Olympiad since 2006. The performances of Pakistani teams in these Olympiads have been quite encouraging. In International Science Olympiads, Pakistani teams have won About 4 Silver Medals, 57 Bronze Medal and 45 Honorable Mentions, 1 Merit Certificate and 2 Special Prizes.

NEC NATIONAL ENGINEERING CONTEST(NEC
National Engineering Competition (NEC) is being launched on a pilot scale this year under the umbrella of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Careers Programme, a joint venture of PIEAS and HEC. The main idea behind the NEC is to encourage undergraduate engineering students public in as well as private sector engineering institutions to come up with innovative solutions to problems of national interest. STEM Careers Programme could provide modest funding not exceeding 10,000 rupees per team to facilitate work on this project. Each team should preferably consist of 3-4 students belonging to different departments that are relevant to the theme of the project. These teams will first compete amongst each other and the winning team from each university shall compete against winning teams from other universities at the national level.
International Science Olympiads NEC NEC NERC DBFC DBC National Engineering Robotics Contest is a joint project of NUST and STEM Careers Programme to promote research in robotics and its related fields in Pakistan.
