Skill Development workshop on “LATEX & Lyx”
The Department of EEE and AIUB-IQAC organized a daylong workshop on 15th December 2016, titled “Workshop on LaTeX & LyX” in Lab EL-52, Faculty of Engineering Building, AIUB. The workshop was aimed at introducing the faculty members to the high quality typesetting system known as LaTeX and its complementary open-source document processor named LyX, along with their applications and the prospects they hold for engineering fields.
Prof. Dr. A. B. M. Siddique Hossain, Honorable Dean, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB initiated the event by welcoming the participants and delivering a short speech emphasizing on how article-writing tools are beneficial for writing research papers and other academic documents. First, Mr. Mohammed Tareq, Assistant Professor, Department of EETE, Dhaka International University, highlighted key benefits and limitations of using LaTeX and LyX and their core features. Next, Mr. Ismail Hossain, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB, talked about the numerous advantages LaTeX holds while writing a thesis paper, a CV, a scientific journal or any other document of international standards. He displayed the various functions, formatting tools to edit a document based on LaTeX. The workshop ended with a question answer session.
The event came to an end after the closing remarks and Certificates distribution from Prof. Dr. Md. Abdur Rahman, Director, Faculty of Engineering, AIUB. The event was made successful by the sincere participation of the faculty members of Department of EEE.
