FOR COUNCIL Mustaqur Rahman, P.Eng.
I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 1993. This is the best engineering university in the country and electrical engineering is one of the top engineering programs in the university. I got my master’s in computer science from City College of New York. During my master’s studies, I took
I volunteered with Dr. Sorin Deleanu, P.Eng., for his NOVA project on permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) controllers. Our research included modeling and parameter determination and simulation of controller prototypes. We used MATLAB-Simulink as a modeling tool and dSPACE Real-Time for loop control hardware design. Our work was published in scholastic journals. Before that I was working on a survival job, the only way a fresh immigrant could pay the bills and work for professional recognition. I was working at Dell technical support group in Edmonton. I worked as an adjunct lecturer at City University of New York from 1999 until 2005, the year I got my M.Phil. in optical communications. I worked at CUNY Research Foundation and a startup company, Amtekron Inc., in New York during my M.Phil. studies. I also worked in software development in Manhattan and built online fitness software. It was state-of-the-art technology with three-tier architecture, Sybase at the backend supporting database, and web server at the frontend. For middle tier we used BEA WebLogic, a bean- persistent technology in J2EE Java platform. This is all my North American experience. Everywhere, I started from the beginning and worked hard and tried my best against odds and became a professional. I was a senior engineer in my country, working on industrial and commercial facilities. Before that, from 1994 to 1997, I was working in the armed forces in my country as a Commissioned Officer. I worked as Workshop Manager and Officer-in-Charge for the field workshop. I also worked in the central workshop for small-arms inspection and the telecommunication shop. I started my career as a junior electrical engineer and designed residential and commercial facilities, then completed the construction and commissioned the facility. It was combination of engineering design, construction, and project management. My involvement with APEGA is recent. I got my professional status in 2015. I tried to get involved and enrolled for volunteering for legislative review consultations. Now I am becoming a new mentor and helping potential Professional Members. I may not have much registered involvement at APEGA but I try to help fellow engineers my best. I try to keep their hope alive in this difficult situation. I try to create a bridge between people and put them together in a network. I feel an official status would help me help people more efficiently. I work in the local community. I have volunteered for my community league and our religious community, by organizing activities and helping out. If people need direction, I take the leadership role.
courses like operating systems, artificial intelligence, algorithms, software systems, theoretical computer science, the information marketplace or Internet, computer architecture, computer communications, computer security, scientific and statistical computing, and software design laboratory. I graduated with a high GPA. I got my M.Phil. in Electrical Engineering in Optical Communications in 2005 from City University of New York. After my immigration I attended a Government of Alberta-sponsored bridging program for foreign engineers at NAIT and learned about electrical design, PLC programming, and power systems. Currently I am doing my personal development. I got my PMP certification this year and last April I passed the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam by NCEES for Electrical and Computer Power. I worked in WorleyParsons Canada in Edmonton from 2011 to 2015 and got valuable experience in the oil and gas transportation sector. I have successfully completed tank terminal farm electrical design for U.S. and Canadian facilities and provided construction support. I also worked in intermediate mainline valve electrical design at the same time. I also worked on electrical FEED for pump station facilities. I worked on an HV substation relocation project for mining operations. In 2010 I worked briefly at Electronic Control Systems at Nisku, and before that I worked for PECO Electrical at Nisku, for rig automation. At PECO I worked on electrical, automation, and control programming projects. We built skid-mounted systems with LV generation with Caterpillar engines.
