''Department of Civil Engineering, EUB, Successfully Organized a Two-Day Practical Workshop on “Water Sampling and Quality Assessment of River Water”
The Department of Civil Engineering, European University of Bangladesh, successfully conducted a two-day practical workshop on “Water Sampling and Quality Assessment of River Water” from 30 June to 01 July 2026, with the active participation of 30 students.
On the first day, Md. Abdullah Al Arafat, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, EUB, delivered a presentation on water quality parameter categories, proper water sample collection procedures, storage, and preservation with appropriate protocol standards followed by the EPA, which led to a visit to the Turag River, where students gained practical exposure to river water sampling.
On the second day, Rubinoor Islam, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, EUB, conducted a technical session on the Water Quality Index (WQI), in which students learned about parameter selection, standards, weighting, computation, and water quality classification.
The students expressed that the workshop helped them connect classroom learning with real-world river water sampling and quality assessment practices. They also shared that such practical field-based activities build confidence, improve technical understanding, and prepare them for professional environmental engineering work.
At the closing session, Prof. Dr. Engr. Md. Abul Kalam Azad, Chairman of the Department of Civil Engineering at EUB, along with respected faculty members, distributed certificates to the participants. The Chairman appreciated the students' active participation. He assured that the Department of Civil Engineering will continue to encourage such practical, research-oriented, and field-based academic activities to support students' professional development.
