Forefront Engineering recently had the privilege of delivering a presentation to students enrolled in the master’s in construction management program at Kantipur International College (KIC) reinforcing its commitment to bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world engineering practice in Nepal.
The session was formally welcomed by Er. Hari Mohan Shrestha, Head of the Civil Engineering Department, who highlighted the importance of exposing postgraduate students to current industry practices, digital transformation, and evolving construction management methodologies. His remarks emphasized how such interactions help students better understand the expectations and challenges of Nepal’s construction sector.
Similarly, the Forefront Engineering team was also warmly received by Dr. Hare Ram Shrestha, who extended a cordial welcome to the forefront team and acknowledged the value of industry-led knowledge sharing for graduate-level education. Dr. Shrestha underscored the role of construction management programs in preparing future leaders capable of handling complex infrastructure projects with modern tools and professional ethics.
Presentation by the Forefront Engineering Team
The session was led by Mahesh Karki, Chief Technology Manager at Forefront Engineering, along with Sudhir Thapa, representing the Forefront team. Their presentation focused on practical insights from the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, with particular emphasis on:
- The evolving role of construction management in Nepal’s infrastructure development
- The importance of digital engineering and BIM-based workflows in planning and execution
- Real-world project experiences highlighting coordination, cost control, and risk management
- Industry expectations from construction management graduates entering professional practice
Drawing from Forefront Engineering’s hands-on experience in BIM implementation, digital project delivery, and consultancy services, the speakers connected theoretical concepts with practical applications commonly encountered on construction sites and large infrastructure projects.
