This technical seminar was organized by  IEEE NSU PES Student Branch Chapter in collaboration with IEEE PES Bangladesh  Chapter, where we had invited one prominent Executive Engineer of Power Grid Company of  Bangladesh (PGCB), a government enterprise to talk regarding the job placement or practical  engineering field. This technical seminar focused on the required knowledge for a fresher or want-to-be power  engineer, which will be needed to operate and maintain different power production unit and  distribution companies of Bangladesh-both public and private. Several mega projects of  government also require power engineers to be engaged in the field level, where an extremely  knowledgeable person will be required.
