“My journey with the CSCE began in 2006 as a student member. Over the years, I’ve taken on various roles, gaining valuable leadership experience, making lifelong friends, and contributing to the betterment of our society. Starting small, I’ve accumulated a wealth of experiences, and I encourage fellow students, EITs, and professional engineers to get involved with CSCE. It offers a great sense of belonging and countless opportunities for growth,” says Dr. Alam.
