List of Department Services for Students

  1. Dashboard https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/. The department’s users connect to the central dashboard, from where they can be directed to all the services they have access to.
  2. Announcement Board https://aboard.iee.ihu.gr/. The Department has developed an announcements system that provides continuous information to students related to the educational process of the department, as well as academic and professional issues of interest to current students and graduates of the Department. Each student follows the announcements posted by the department staff either by visiting a friendly and adaptive online web application or by receiving an email message. User authentication is performed using the central SSO. Faculty/staff members may post announcements. Announcements are grouped into categories. By posting an announcement, the registered students: a) will receive an email to the account they have designated, b) will receive a notification on their mobile phone, if they have installed the application created by the department. A subset of the announcements (public announcements) is also automatically posted on the department’s main website.
  3. Personal Website https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/service/website. The department has two Web Servers exclusively for the websites of the students and the staff of the Department. Every student can upload his personal website to the users.iee.ihu.gr web server. Accordingly, the web server people.iee.ihu.gr hosts the department’s staff websites. In addition, for the staff of the department there is also the website https://www.iee.ihu.gr/staff_category/faculty-member/ where a short presentation for each one is included. Department members can update the brief resume themselves by updating their details in the department’s LDAP. In addition, if a member’s status changes, e.g. development, transition from partner to faculty member, etc., then by updating the central LDAP, the information pages under the department’s website as well as all connected services are automatically updated.
  4. Directory Service https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/search. All users of the system can search the public profiles of other users. Obviously a user can choose not to create a public profile. In this case it will not be searchable by the service.
  5. SSH service https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/service/ssh. The department provides access to students through a secure connection (ssh) to a central linux server, which they can use for course needs, as a storage space or to create their personal websites.
  6. Mysql Personal Database https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/service/mysql. This database can be used by students to integrate online applications into their personal website.
  7. MySQL, PostgreeSQL and Oracle Database servers for all students and department staff to help teaching data management courses.
  8. VPN service https://apps.iee.ihu.gr/service/openvpn. The department operates a VPN server (Virtual Private Network) to serve its members, including students. This way department members can access content delivered through HEALlink from their home. In addition, access is provided to services of the department that are not accessible from the internet or from the other departments of IHU, for security reasons.
  9. Advisor Professor https://advisor.iee.ihu.gr/. Professor Advisor System, where professors can find their students to whom they are advisors and vice versa.
  10. Thesis Assignment System https://thesis.iee.ihu.gr/. The professors post the available thesis subject to this system. Students after communicating with the lecturer, the lecturer assigns a thesis subject to the student through the system. When the thesis/assignment is complete, the student “uploads” the assignment into the system. The professor approves the final thesis or not. The committee appointed for each paper has the ability to see the text and all the elements of the paper. After the presentation of the thesis, the committee enters the score into the system. The system, after each examination period, exports all the thesis that were successfully examined and their scores.
  11. Special Categories https://www.iee.ihu.gr/specialcategories. Students who belong to a special category, after submitting the relevant supporting documents to the department’s secretary, are registered in the this system. The professors are informed by the student that he/she belongs to a special category. Professors confirm the student’s special category through the system, without having access to the supporting documents or the details of other special category students. The system guarantees the protection of student’s personal data.
  12. Creation of Virtual Machines (after consultation with the thesis supervisor). The department has web servers (XenServer/Proxmox – Open Source Server Virtualization) on which virtual machines are created. All the department’s online services run on virtual machines. This makes them easily portable as well as upgradeable. In addition, virtual machines are used for course needs (eg database servers), for research purposes (running experiments) as well as for the implementation of thesis.
  13. Personalized Exams Calendar https://www.iee.ihu.gr/exams-program/. When the program of the next examination period is announced, students have the possibility to create their personal examination calendar, choosing the courses that interest them. They can then integrate this program into other services (such as google calendar). In fact, in some rare cases, where a change in the examination program is necessary, the students’ personal diaries are automatically updated. The same service works for lecturers/supervisors.
  14. ECTS160 and degree examination https://www.iee.ihu.gr/ects160/ . As only graduate students have the right to participate in the “special” examinations, this system confirms if a student has the right to participate. In addition, he/she can see the list of courses included in this “special” exams.
  15. Alumni Site https://alumni.iee.ihu.gr/. In an effort for the department to maintain contact with its graduates, the online platform has been implemented where the details of graduates are registered and updated.
  16. Internship https://jobs.iee.ihu.gr/. A platform has been developed where partner companies post job or internship ads, which students have access to.
  17. Career Day https://careerday.iee.ihu.gr/. As the department organizes with great success every semester the Career Day with the participation of dozens of companies and hundreds of students, a specialized website was developed for the better organization and dissemination of relevant information.
  18. Submission of exercises https://submit.iee.ihu.gr. Online services to assist the educational process (e.g. Electronic examination environments, online environments for submitting exercises and assignments)
  19. Registration system for laboratory departments https://reg-labs.iee.ihu.gr/. The department has developed an internal system for student’s course declarations. From 2022, the new information system of the DiPaE sufficiently covers the declaration process in theory courses, at which point the department’s systems are used only for registrations in laboratory classes.
  20. Flexible departmental SSO where students can connect their own applications.

  8. Room Booking Service. The program of all the online classes of the department is organized electronically and is accessible via the Internet to accredited users. Therefore, a teacher can reserve an online classroom for an emergency educational need online and automatically, without the risk of conflict. In fact, the Electronic Absentee Log was also extended for the ZOOM Digital rooms. Thus, each teacher can reserve an online classroom room without requiring the existence of a moderator. In addition, an online application (rooms.iee.ihu.gr) was developed which provides access to the virtual ZOOM rooms only to accredited users. Thus, teachers and students do not need to keep the passwords for the virtual rooms.
  9. Firewall: The infrastructure of the department has additional protection from the central University firewall. Thus services and infrastructures are protected from possible risks even within the IHU.
  10. LDAP server: The department maintains an LDAP service (directory service) with which all users (students, professors, employees of the department, external partners) are identified. In addition, authentication is provided based on the secure open protocol oauth2.0. This way all connected services use the central oauth2 authentication on the LDAP server. It was developed in collaboration between students/faculty of the department using open technologies.
  11. DNS: The department operates a DNS server. This,makes the use of the internet faster, since each PC does not need to communicate with an external DNS. Additionally, the department’s DNS is used as a secondary DNS by the entire Sindh campus.
  12. Wireless student network (WiFi): There is full coverage in the department’s premises for wireless Internet access.
  13. DHCP: The DHCP service is provided within the department. Building (H) will soon be included under the control of DHCP.
