Syed Mainul Hossain

Syed Mainul Hossain is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Syed Mainul Hossain rather than just read about it. In short: Syed Mainul Hossain (17 March 1952 – 10 November 2014) was a Bangladeshi structural engineer and architect. He is the designer of the National Martyrs' Memorial, one of the national landmarks of Bangladesh.

Key takeaways

Syed Mainul Hossain belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Syed Mainul Hossain to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Syed Mainul Hossain from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Syed Mainul Hossain (17 March 1952 – 10 November 2014) was a Bangladeshi structural engineer and architect. He is the designer of the National Martyrs' Memorial, one of the national landmarks of Bangladesh. He was posthumously awarded the Independence Award in 2022.

Background Syed Mainul Hossain was born on 17 March 1952 to Syed Mujibul Haq and Syeda Rashida Haq Hena. Mujibul was a history professor at Rajendra College in Faridpur District. Mainul was the eldest among three children. He graduated from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology in architecture in 1976.

List of buildings

Buildings on which Hossain was involved with design include:

National Martyrs' Memorial (1978) Bangladesh National Museum (1982) Vocational teacher training institute and vocational training institute (1977) Bangladesh Bar Council Building (1978) Chittagong Export Processing Zone's office building (1980) Shilpakala Academy auditorium Uttara Model Town (Residential Project) (1985)

Awards Ekushey Padak (1988) Sheltech Award (2007) Independence Award (2022)

Personal life and death Hossain had two daughters, Syeda Tahrima Hossain Bidita and Syeda Tanzina Hossain Amrita. Hossain died of a heart attack on 10 November 2014 at the National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Dhaka, at the age of 63. He was buried at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial in Mirpur.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Syed Mainul Hossain

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Syed Mainul Hossain claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Syed Mainul Hossain before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Syed Mainul Hossain ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Syed Mainul Hossain

In research: Syed Mainul Hossain appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Syed Mainul Hossain in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Syed Mainul Hossain is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, 2014 deaths, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Syed Mainul Hossain outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
