The Ulterior Engineering Intl. representatives warmly welcomed all the participants upon arrival at the facility. The tour started with an opening speech from Azizul Hakim Sobuj, Assistant Engineer, who introduced himself and shared a brief history of the company and its success in today's competitive market. Following that, the CEO of Ulterior Engineering Intl., Sheikh Rafat Bin Ali, walked participants through the fundamentals of instruments in the power and automation sectors and set the tone for the rest of the day.

 

After a short refreshment break, the discussion moved into real industry scenarios, including control and motion systems, giving students a practical understanding of how theoretical concepts convert into actual industrial operations. Participants then moved through the facility itself, observing the control systems and equipment in action.

 

One of the highlights of the day was a career guideline session led by Sheikh Rafat Bin Ali. He discussed in depth career opportunities across EEE sectors, including automation, BMS, HVAC, DCS, and IoT. After that, he introduced students to different types of controllers, such as PLC, motion, and DDC controllers, and provided an overview of SCADA programming languages. The session gave participants a clear picture of how their academic backgrounds connect to real career paths in the industry.

 

After lunch and the prayer break, the cohort moved into a hands-on session in which students worked directly with SCADA systems, writing their own programs and exploring automation processes in real-world industry settings. The event concluded with a thank-you note from Mohammad Shafayet Hossain, Faculty Advisor of the IEEE NSU PES Student Branch Chapter, who also presented a token of appreciation to Sheikh Rafat Bin Ali. The cohort wrapped up with a meaningful bridge between academic learning and industry practice, giving participants practical exposure to automation systems and real-world applications.
