We have focused on generating new knowledge and promoting critical thinking amongst our students, graduating more than 7,000 young men and women during this time. At present, the total number of students is around 8,000. Our goal at BRAC University is not only to provide the highest quality teaching in the region, but also to inculcate the values essential for tomorrow's leaders. Through a liberal education, we endeavour to produce graduates with the attributes needed to achieve personal success and make a valuable contribution to society. Our talented and dedicated faculty play a critical role in both these processes. I am pleased to report that the construction of the new University campus, comprising a 14-storey building of 17 lakh square feet on 5 acres of land, is well under way. We hope to relocate by mid- 2020. Sir Fazle Hasan Abed Chairperson, Board of Trustees BRAC University Statement of Vice Chancellor It has been a rewarding year in 2016 for BRAC University (BRACU) as it enters new realms of engagement and accomplishments. Entrusted by the Board of Trustees (BoT) to build a university of repute that is recognized in Bangladesh and beyond, our strategy has evolved to focus on several key components: 1) Nurturing high quality faculty 2) Admitting students who meet decent academic standards 3) Building a high quality and supportive administrative team 4) Introducing innovative and challenging educational programs 5) Ensuring sufficiency of resources and providing modern facilities By coordinating and energizing these five elements, we can be better at reflecting the qualities of what “great” universities of the world embody. The journey has just begun, and while it will take many turns, we must remain steadfast and focused, reaching for higher levels of accomplishment at each stage of the University's progression. To coordinate the five-pronged strategy, we have embarked on several “priority” projects, in addition to the regular work of BRACU. These include: a. New campus construction with an iconic and state-of-the-art building b. Professional/andragogy skills development of “all” faculty, leading to certification c. Core skill development of students (and faculty) through the Gen Ed program d. Curriculum revision and upgrading by benchmarking with a target institution e. IT integration and new applications to enhance technological sophistication f. Internationalization of our student and faculty community g. Student and alumni engagement in projects for social impact h. Modern HR system focusing on performance-based governance i. Research It is an exhilarating time for all of us to see the University making confident strides into the future. Onnesha, the first nano-satellite built in Bangladesh by BRACU, is getting ready for its space debut; the largest cohort of “better quality” students have entered the university in Spring 2017; research grants and scholarships are coming in steadily from both local and international bodies; international institutions -- UC Berkeley in research, University of Michigan's Ross Business School in helping us build an Entrepreneurship Program; and special partnerships in Europe (Umea, Sweden), Australia (Macquarie University, University of Canberra), Japan (Kyushu University), and USA (Georgetown and others) -- are building bridges with us; the University Grants Commission (UGC) along with the British Council have shown deep interest in our teaching-learning initiatives; our expertise is sought in developing “Strategy for Higher Education in Bangladesh;” invitations are coming from AMDISA (Association of Management Development Institutions in South Asia) and Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Mumbai) to share our experiences and join their efforts to spread quality education; Chief Executives of corporate bodies in Bangladesh are advising different academic units; some departments are forging industry-academy partnerships – the list is long and growing! Creative activities are also evolving in the various departments, centers, institutes, and the Savar Residential Semester program that are truly indicative of our potential. The schools and institutes are pursuing pioneering programs of their own (in governance, public health, early childhood development, etc.). Student clubs are reaching out to various communities as change makers. Annual Report 2016 | 7 One of my dreams is to be listed in the Times Higher Education ranking in the South Asian pool of universities as a start – a goal I boldly placed to all at BRACU to help achieve. To reach this goal I shall leave no stone unturned. Publishing in quality peer-reviewed (SCOPUS and similar) journals is an important pathway to reaching this goal. We are also refurbishing and (re)launching several graduate degree programs to spearhead innovative research activities. It is important at this juncture to reiterate our commitments. We all – teachers, researchers, administrators, and support staff – have a vital role to play in the life of the students by providing a warm, welcoming, nurturing, and challenging environment for them to grow as responsible, caring, creative and respectful citizens. We must treat them well and certainly with respect. Our main goal is to ensure the SUCCESS of our students, empowering them with knowledge and life skills so that they can look after themselves and their families upon graduation and take up the challenging and glorious task of nation-building. I would like to take this opportunity to thank “all” members of the BRAC University family who make institution building exciting and fulfilling. It is for your efforts that we are among the preferred academic destinations for Bangladesh's aspiring students. Soon, I hope, we will be a beacon of excellence for students of the region (SAARC) and extend ourselves into ASEAN, APEC and beyond. By engaging in many creative accomplishments and constantly adding value to the university experience. I trust our work will encapsulate what we stand for: Inspiring Excellence!

  • A Study of Bangladesh in the Global Context 1. Digital Percept
    DIGITAL PERCEPTION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION IN ARCHITECTURE: A Study of Bangladesh in the Global Context A. Q. M. ABDULLAH, MD. EMRAN HOSSAIN Department of Architecture BRAC University 66, Mohakhali C/A Dhaka 1212, Bangladesh. [email protected] [email protected] AND MD. SHABAB HABIB KHAN Vitti Sthapati Brinda Ltd. Dhaka, Bangladesh. [email protected] Abstract. In the recent past the computer has become an important tool both in the design and presentation media/method in architecture. In this paper digitalization in architectural practice and architectural education in both the global and Bangladesh contexts have been studied. A survey questionnaire was carried out to find how and to what extent available software are being used in Bangladesh for this purpose. Opinion, views, expectations of architects from leading architectural firms of Bangladesh were studied to understand the future prospect of this field in Bangladesh. 1. Digital Perception Architecture, one of the oldest crossroads of arts and science, has been using information processing devices for centuries. These devices were sometimes in the form of measuring and drafting tools, sometimes in the form of wooden and paper models and, most recently, in the form of computers. The technology that has set the architects free to think extensively and broaden communication between themselves and the client community is not very old practice. Workstations (computer) are very recent equipment in architectural firms. Architecture has become a database containing information about the inhabitants, providing space quality according to the choice of the occupant. Michael Benedikt sees the distinctive achievement of the computer age as the marriage of digital design and physical presentation (Aaron, 1997).

  • The Dhaka Attack: Lessons for Bangladesh
    IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 23, Issue 2, Ver. 10 (February. 2018) PP 16-24 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Dhaka Attack: Lessons for Bangladesh Md. Sohel Rana Lecturer, Department of International Relations, Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP), Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract: The horrific terror attack at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Bangladesh’s capital on 1 July 2016 by a group of religious extremists has instilled an instrument of fear across the country. Although a list of militant attacks took place in the country since the late 1990s, the Dhaka attack bore new significance at least three key reasons. Firstly, it was the country’s first ever hostage crisis which lasted for 12 long hours and caused the tragic death of 29 people including 18 foreigners. Secondly, the café attack proved the Islamic State’s links in Bangladesh which the government had been denying for over a year. Finally, it has highlighted significant gaps in the country’s counterterrorism strategy which needed to be addressed. In this context, the paper investigates the operational and tactical features of the attack displayed by the terrorists as well as evaluates the counterterrorism responses of the Bangladeshi security forces. It also derives lessons learned from the attack and the Bangladeshi response. The author has used both primary and secondary data to write this paper. It has significant policy implications that might be helpful to counterterrorism bodies in Bangladesh and elsewhere in preparing for or countering future terrorist attacks. Key Words: Dhaka, Islamic State, Neo-JMB, Islamic militancy, counterterrorism.
