The 2016 annual convention of alumni of Karachi's NED University of Engineering &Technology (NEDUET) held in Houston, Texas over Labor Day weekend drew more than 500 NEDians from all over North America and the rest of the world.
Among others, it was attended by US Congressman Al Green from Texas and the Vice Chancellor of NED University Dr. Afzal Haque. Asharf Habibullah, a 1969 Civil Engineering graduate of NED and founder of Computer Structures Inc (CSI) of Berkeley, CA, was the keynote speaker. CSI software developed by Habibullah is used by thousands of engineers in more than 100 countries for the design of major projects, including the One World Trade Center in New York, the east span of the San Francisco Bay Bridge, the Burj-e-Khalifa in Dubai, and the Centenario Bridge over the Panama Canal, according to an introduction of Habibullah published by University of California at Berkeley. CSI software is also widely used for research and education and CSI has generously donated software to numerous universities in many developed and developing countries. Mr. Habibullah is also recognized for his tireless work in supporting the arts and for championing the oft-overlooked artistic aspects of structural engineering.
There were several panel discussion during the day followed by a grand evening banquet with Pakistani food, music, stand-up comedy, mind-reading and other entertainment. Credit goes to NED alum Afzaal Hafeez of the class of 1984 and his dedicated team of volunteers for a job well done.
