3. Introduction

4. 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.

5. NSTC About National Science Talent Contest
The National Science Talent Contest (NSTC) is a regular annual event since It is an extension of the National Physics Talent Contest (NPTC), which was initiated by PlEAS in It strives to vitalize science education at the intermediate level, a crucial stage for professional career choices.
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.

7. NSTC Life Cycle
Students, who scored an aggregate of 70% or more marks 9th ,10th ,O Level , FSc (Part-I) , A Level (Part-I).
Nationwide Screening Test conducts in the major cities .
Top 50 students are invited for one week fully residential training camp 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.
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 The performances of Pakistani teams in these Olympiads have been quite encouraging.

30. 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 Career 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.
