Event Summary

 Society of Civil Engineering MUST (SCEM) and American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) ,societies of MUST conducted a one-day CPD Workshop, funded and approved by ENGR. INAM-UL-HAQ from PWD, at auditorium of Mirpur University of Science and Technology (MUST). The basic purpose was to make people aware of the qualities of a leader, help them to build a strong independent personality. Motivate the engineers to develop the characteristics of a leader rather than just a professional. In the absence of effective leadership, organizations often grow slowly and may lose their direction and competitiveness. With effective leadership, all participants within the organization are confident someone they know is working towards the greater good, both on their behalf personally and that of the company, as well as the larger impact created by the service.
