Question
hello Mr.Archad,
what's the way to be an excellent civil engineer comparing with the recent world life which is full of new things and new discoveries every day?
thanks for listening.

Answer
Hi Mohammad,

That is a good question. The way to assess engineering excellence is to design and build structures that are in harmony with nature, utilises minimum materials, creates minimal waste and utilises minimum energy during construction as well as during it's operating life. In other words, to create sustainable and zero carbon projects.

Of course the other side of excellence is to engineer structures in complete harmony with the architecture and be fully functional and aesthetic.
