Word Spreading This Forum

[Badar (BAZ)]

Salaam everbody! We know more, when we share our knowledge,and this forum is platform where we can share and get knowledge relating to structural engineering. Umar makhzomi has done good job in spreading this forum,having posted an ad on facebook. But we need to do more,as facebook is not enough.More people should be inlvolved in this forum which will help us discuss our problems related to structural engineering and eventually can help us in becoming better engineers.

Please give your suggestions as to how can we publicize this forum.

cheers.

Rightly said, this community can be a source of great information and as mentioned before somewhere in the forum, in "Uplifting" Structural Design Practise in Pakistan. It is the only way. Lets spread the word.

Well im not in Pakistan but i have asked my friends in pak to start involving but due to i think lack of experience or having no job they are not posting here. Anyways i can bring other nationals here but they are much experienced and the pakistani ccommunity i interact with here is also experienced in terms of structural knowledge. Thats y i am waiting this forum to grow then they could really participate here bcz they are all seniors. they will not find much interest.

Anyways i am trying...everyone should!

I am not agreed with you Rana. There are most experienced structural engineers in Pakistan but mostly the engaged ones doesn't have much time to use net due to tough schedules I personally know some of them. Where as the jobless or little less experience engineers can be key players if we introduce a job forum and invite companies or share the vacant jobs all over the world.

We will have to go extra mile for the promotion of the site as well the structural engineers.

It will be great if we make page/profile instead of sharing on facebook, twitter, linkedin, and youtube hopefully we will get the best results. Further we can invite the structural engineers from all over the world and share more knowledge and prove that Pakistani Engineers are best. One more thing which we can do is to invite the student of engineering universities of Pakistan.

my point was that they are not taking interest because they are still jobless and now working...and plus no light in pakistan :S

I appreciate that atleast you people have been thinking a very posetive and constructive plan.

Dear colleagues!

 

This forum is really a great platform for us, to share our knowledge and field experience with each other. Moreover, this forum can also help a lot in improving overall standard of technical know-how of our structural engineers, by providing them quality advice and guiding them to international standards of structural design and construction practices. IMO, this latter aspect is not only very important, but also our moral obligation as well as a national duty.

 

But, this will be possible and practicable only, when more and more engineers join this forum, and contribute their knowledge and experience on regular basis. And, this is what this thread is meant for.

 

However, we are probably missing an important aspect in our discussion, that can attract engineers to join and/or visit this forum more frequently.   And, that is, replying to their queries early and more frequently.

 

It is natural that a normal person is much more attracted to an early reply to his/her questions, rather than overall level of advice at a particular forum. On the other hand, no response to a query for a long time, will most probably disappoint  the originator, resulting in lack of interest. 

 

What I am trying to emphasize is, that we (especially the moderators and senior/more experienced members) should NOT ONLY visit the forum regularly, BUT ALSO should reply the questions raised/queries made in various sections AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE. (I myself always try to act on this principle, in cases where I can help.)

 

IMHO, this policy will not only attract more engineers, but will (later on) also build their confidence in this forum, as a major source of structural engineering knowledge and advice. 

 

Regards.
