Dear All, I am a Civil engineer and really proud to be so. Civil Engineering deals with the design, construction and maintenance of the infrastructure that supports our daily life – buildings, transport routes, water, waste and energy. And I work for SDRC- STRUCTURAL DESIGN & RESEARCH CENTRE , one of the innovation of Project consultancy services in the provision of infrastructure services. I am Principal Consultant of Structural Design & Research Centre. From the start of my career I was a bright young thing, picked out as a rising star because I was an independent thinker. Regional leaders were ready to listen and engage in the debate on the importance of investment in sustainable infrastructure. Now, the value of infrastructure investment for economic growth is one of the topics of the moment, with civil engineers giving expert advice at the highest levels in government, but just 12 years ago it really wasn’t like that. I sat in quite a few debates and consultations with business leaders, lawyers, planners and the like, where engineers, if acknowledged at all, were disparagingly referred to as the “nuts and bolts” people. Now, I feel we have a much more positive profile. If there is one profession that has awoken to the need for more sustainable approaches, it is civil engineering. The innate ingenuity and inventive capacity of Bangladesh Engineering –is second to none. I am currently involved in a pilot project for the Youngone Group using Aircraft Hanger. It is very exciting to be involved with because innovation is challenging to implement. Since joining SDRC( srdorg ), I have been involved in Civil Engineering Software development by Object oriented language preferably web based so that our associated Engineers can use from web. It’s great working with this program as we are looking for enthusiasm and that certain spark of potential. SDRC (sdrcorg) encourages all of our apprentices to enroll on the IEB program which helps fulfil their personal development and overall confidence, which I think is essential in cultivating employees of the future. And we really need this big and diverse talent pool to develop the engineers and technicians who can respond to the rapidly changing demands of our society. We need to deliver much more sustainable infrastructure solutions. We need different. We don’t need people content to fit the mould. We need people to break the mould. We need the balance, resilience and strength that diversity brings. And having diverse role models is an important part of that. So Engineer who are prepared to put themselves forward as role models are needed. And that may involve getting over that self- doubt related to perceptions of being self-seeking. I am not more special than anyone else, that’s why I’m with Self-employed Consultancy practices . When student are thinking about engineering, asking – Do I want to do that? Can I even do that? By example, we are saying – Yes, you can. Thanking You, Uzzal K.
