|| Experience ||

During my tenure as a Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Creative Technology Chittagong (UCTC), I was engaged in both teaching and academic supervision, contributing to the academic development of undergraduate students. I taught several core and advanced courses in the domains of Hydrology, Environmental Engineering, Numerical Methods, Geotechnical Engineering, and Irrigation & Flood Control. In each of these courses, I aimed to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications by using real-world examples, problem-solving exercises, and hands-on discussions.

I also supervised undergraduate research projects, providing students with step-by-step guidance in topic development, data acquisition, analysis, and report writing. Many of these projects aligned with my own research interests in hydrology, environmental assessment, and geotechnical analysis. I emphasized analytical thinking and scientific rigor, helping students to develop both their technical skills and academic writing capabilities.

Apart from my teaching responsibilities, I participated in various departmental activities such as curriculum enhancement, exam moderation, and academic event coordination. I supported initiatives aimed at increasing student engagement in research, technical competitions, and professional development workshops. I also contributed to fostering a learning environment that encouraged curiosity, collaboration, and continuous growth.

My role at UCTC allowed me to develop and refine my academic and professional skills. It strengthened my passion for teaching and mentoring while reinforcing my commitment to contributing meaningfully to civil and environmental engineering education.

In addition to my teaching and supervisory responsibilities, I served as a Program Coordinator in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Creative Technology Chittagong (UCTC). This role involved a combination of academic planning, quality assurance, and administrative oversight to ensure the smooth functioning of the undergraduate program.

One of my core responsibilities was preparing semester-wise teaching plans and detailed class schedules in coordination with fellow faculty members. I worked closely with academic staff to allocate courses effectively, considering both faculty expertise and student needs. Ensuring the logical flow of course offerings and balancing academic loads were essential components of this task.

I also played an active role in monitoring the quality of class delivery throughout the semester. This included following up on lesson plans, coordinating substitute arrangements when needed, and collecting feedback to identify areas for pedagogical improvement. My efforts were directed toward maintaining consistency in instructional standards and enhancing the overall academic experience for students.

Beyond academic coordination, I handled a range of departmental administrative duties. These included organizing meetings, maintaining academic records, facilitating communication between students and the department, and assisting with internal evaluations and accreditation-related documentation. My work as Program Coordinator helped streamline processes and foster a more organized and responsive academic environment within the department.

Shortly after completing my undergraduate studies in Civil Engineering, I began my professional journey as a Junior Design Engineer in the Water and Environmental Division of the Bangladesh Institute of Social Research (BISR). This role provided me with valuable practical experience and laid the foundation for my future academic and research interests in water resources and environmental management.

During my time at BISR, I was involved in preparing detailed appraisal reports for flood control and management in various sub-project areas. These reports required a thorough understanding of local hydrological conditions, flood patterns, and infrastructure planning. I collaborated with senior engineers and field experts to evaluate site-specific challenges and recommend suitable interventions for effective flood mitigation.

Another key aspect of my role was conducting engineering feasibility studies for ongoing sub-projects. These studies included technical assessments, cost estimations, and environmental considerations necessary for successful implementation. The work demanded both analytical precision and the ability to synthesize field data into actionable recommendations.

Additionally, I was responsible for planning canal excavation routes in designated rural areas to ensure efficient irrigation. This involved surveying land features, understanding existing agricultural practices, and designing routes that would maximize water distribution while minimizing environmental disruption. Through this work, I gained hands-on experience in integrating engineering solutions with community needs in the context of sustainable water management.

This position offered me a strong introduction to field-based civil engineering projects and helped me develop a practical outlook toward hydrological and environmental challenges in Bangladesh’s rural landscape.
