Professional Engineering (PEng) License is required for engineers to practice engineering in Alberta. 

This award is given to an outstanding student in construction engineering and management, considering both academic and research achievements. 

It is endowed by the United States Fidelity & Guarantee Insurance Company of Canada in honor and recognition of Mr. Robert Stollery's outstanding contribution to the North American construction industry, particularly for his ongoing commitment to enhancing and improving the profession of Construction Engineering and Management.

This research focuses on addressing the limitations of traditional error analysis in machine learning models used in civil engineering applications. 

Specifically, a novel framework has been proposed that incorporates error propagation theory and the model tree algorithm to estimate and explain the variance associated with the predicted output for a given set of inputs. This approach enhances the interpretability and reliability of the model, providing valuable insights for decision-making in engineering.

Due to limited resources and budget constraints, government agencies are compelled to prioritize the most critical needs in order to allocate funding effectively. This paper presents a comprehensive framework that aims to enhance the prioritization process for school infrastructure projects, taking into account the specific requirements of such projects.

The lecture explains the safety planning aspect of construction project management and demonstrates how to separate safety costs from construction costs in general. It also introduces the "Tunneling Safe" website to the student, which is developed to provide a training package and disseminate good practices and practical knowledge based on BS 6164-2011.

The Project Management Institute offers an internationally recognised professional qualification called Project Management Professional.

A fund titled “Bangladesh-Sweden Trust Fund” was constituted in 1984 with the financial assistance of the Government of Sweden. 

The fund is awarded to the applicants considering their past academic excellence and who are accepted to top-ranked universities for attending M.Sc./Ph.D. level study.

Planning infrastructure maintenance operation is always a challenge due to various reasons. In our recent research paper I talked about, how we can make the plan efficient and automatic. 

Please see the video of my latest presentation about:  How to account planner's gut feeling in panning construction operation? in Winter simulation conference 2020.

Title of the Paper: Planning and Scheduling Drainage Infrastructure Maintenance Operations Under Hard and Soft Constraints: A Simulation Study

While investigating the viability of a mega project like "investing in solar energy or geothermal energy," the project objective actually goes beyond the project itself. Planning authority needs to consider so many aspects of the project to ensure its sustainability. In the following slide, I present one of such initiatives. The slides are self-explanatory. I hope you will enjoy it. 

These slides were presented to the Class of APS510: Innovative Technologies and Organizations in Global Energy System. This course is offered by University of Toronto, Center for Global Engineering. 

I had the chance to review the paper titled “Convolutional neural networks: computer vision-based workforce activity assessment in construction” - by Luo et al. (2018). 

I did it as part of a course project. But I feel it is one of the good papers in this field and worthy to share among pears. Following slides have some insights about the problem and technique proposed.

The research title is "Simulation-Enabled Intelligent Decision Support Framework for Planning Precast Concrete Production Operations." 

Following are the presentation slides. I hope you will get sufficient insights regarding the planning problem that I am trying to solve by seeing the presentation slides. In case if you would like to know more, please feel free to send me an email. 

The offer recognizes your academic and scholarly achievements. It is a considerable accomplishment to have qualified for this award.

This award is coordinated by Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research of University of Alberta.

This award is issued by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.

The NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships – Doctoral (PGS D) program provides financial support to high-caliber scholars who are engaged in an eligible doctoral program in the natural sciences or engineering. This support allows these scholars to fully concentrate on their studies and seek out the best research mentors in their chosen fields.

Two years of research fund and internship opportunities are given for doing research on planning the manufacturing process of precast structural products:

• Developing a computing solution for operation optimization.

• Generating planning decision support analytics from the workflow operation simulation.
