An example of brilliance Dr A.F.M. Saiful Amin Dr A.F.M. Saiful Amin My classes in BUET began in 1991, and I first met Professor Choudhury in 1995, during the fourth year of my undergraduate studies. He taught our Structural Engineering course. His most impressive features as a teacher were his punctuality and spontaneous mathematical prowess with neat blackboard handwriting. Although I was the first boy, I could never secure good marks in his course. Still, down the line, he relied on me for many important analyses and decision-making related to infrastructural projects. For instance, when cracks were discovered in the Bangabandhu Bridge, Professor Choudhury entrusted me with the task of analysing and later repairing them. Since Professor Choudhury had such in-depth knowledge of engineering, he was able to find simple solutions to complex problems. He was a great source of guidance in any project, be it the Padma Bridge, the Expressway, or any large-scale infrastructural project.
