PREAMBLE:

Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST)” produces some of the best Engineers in the country. In line with that noble intention, the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh made a historical decision to set up a Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at the holy land of Shahjalal (RA), enriched with the natural beauty and resources i.e. at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology (SUST) in 1995. The Graduated Engineers of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department sincerely remember and recall at their every footstep of their life that the nation had spent a significant part of the national revenue and resources behind them to develop them as the best citizen of the country. Hence, ‘Graduated Engineers of CEE’ believe it is their noble duty and turn to honor the nation’s contribution by accomplishing commendable services to the nation both in their professional and social life.

Realising that united effort of the ‘Graduated Engineers of CEE’ can meaningfully achieve their ultimate goal toward the nation, the ‘Graduated Engineers of CEE’ hence decided to form an Alumni Association. The sense of balance is part of the life of an Engineer, therefore, to ensure the systematic and indisputable functioning of the Alumni Association – a guideline is required, and this Constitution of the Alumni Association of Civil and Environmental Engineering Department (SUST) will serve that noble purpose.
