Social media, videos, podcasts.

But not everyone can say they’ve shared their love for community and civil engineering with a mural.

Akhtar Zaman did exactly that.

Born and raised in Bangladesh, Zaman found a home in northwest Indiana. He’s a principal engineer for Advanced Engineering Services in Hammond, Indiana – just outside Chicago. And when the company moved into a new building with a parking lot that bordered a blank wall, Zaman had an idea.

In episode 179 of ASCE Plot Points, Zaman talks about his community, his profession, and how he brought this mural to life.
