ACES in brief!

Vol. 1 Issue 1

ACES stands for The Annual Conference for Engineering Students. ACES is the 1st student to student conference (started 2005) to be held inside the Ain Shams Faculty of Engineering for the benefit of engineering students all over Egypt. We started as the 1st student activity in any engineering governmental university to be one of the largest & leading student organizations in Egypt now.

ACES conference is all about changing an ordinary engineering student to an extraordinary one; we aim to qualify the engineering students with the needs of the market and engineering companies, as a universal standard. Since it started back in 2005, ACES has proven its ability year after year to graduate well skilled engineers. It had always been the leader of student run activities and organizations on campus, pushing the wheel of development. With more than 100 skilled crew members and more than 250 participants each year, it is one of the largest student lead organizations in Egypt.

In its eighth year now, graduated ACESians work in the top multinationals around the world in various fields, not necessarily engineering. Typical fields include Human Resources, Sales, Marketing, Planning; some even started their own business. This march towards success never stops, renewing its crew members and participants each year to reach the maximum benefit to everyone. This "Maximum Benefit" concept had always been and will always be the main theme for ACES ... for better graduate engineers for the job market.

Vol. 1 Issue 1

ACES12 has just begun. A brand new journey is waiting ahead.


But this time, it will be like no other. ACES12 is having a different beginning with the vision of having an outstanding ending. For many years, ACES was known for its spirit to change students to better graduates, to fulfill the need of engineers & qualify them to become what they really dream to be. We, ACESians, throughout the years, have done our best to reach out for them & still doing & will always do. Allow us to tell you more about what we have accomplished in ACES12 so far:

Some of ACES12 main objectives:


The conference to contain a real life output instead of simulations. Expanding ACES to include participants from a variety of engineering schools Balancing between ACES spirit & professionalism Constantly aligning every person in ACES crew with the vision Preparation of excellent leadership capabilities to support future ACES by applying empowerment & ownership to ACES Successful marketing & branding of ACES by focusing on the competitive edge that distinguishes ACES over the competitors

1) Crew recruitment:
ACES12 started on the 1st of August when the new president (Hesham Usama) was accepted & in about one month ACES12 now has a crew of 160 people including the heads, members, moderators & coordinators. ACES12 had an unprecedented number of applicants this year, more than 400 applicants for membership including 83 applicants for the moderators posts, as the past 7 years made a very good impression on many engineering students. So, in order to continue this good impression & make it a perfect one, we decided to have a unique beginning.

2) Crew team building week (Ana ACES week):


This year, instead of having good team building in each committee, we decided to make it a great one for all ACES crew, for all the 160 crew of ACES12. Yes, 160! It sounds big, doesnt it?! We thought it will be hard, but we have been through much more harder situations & believe it or not, it couldnt have been easier! The spirit of the members to work, to change, to create, to stand out was overwhelming, that made this team building week a very exciting, interesting, funny & wonderful week that we could ever imagine. ACES12 crew were all working together as a whole one big team through various team building activities that foster ACES spirit & teamwork. Through simulations & games, they had tasks to do, but not only do, but to accomplish in the best way possible. So now what? All ACES crew know each other? The answer is YES. Now, all ACES crew can work together in whatever task required, in a much more comfortable & friendly zone.

3) Training phase:
We are now in the training phase. A unique one, gathering ACES crew at times when it is a general training & at other times, gathering some committees for technical advanced trainings. The objective of this phase is to make ACES12 crew fully prepared to be able to carry out their work effectively in the next phases & attain the major impactful goals of this year.
