Dear sir, I am a Quantity Surveyor from Malawi interested in Project Management. We did not learn much on Project Management from school so I read a lot of books and I have found your lecture notes on Project Management very insightful and well organised. But I cannot find the entire publication on the internet, I only find chapter 1. Would you be so kind as to send me the full document and any other material you published on project management? I will really appreciate your help sir. Warm regards, Victor Kupilingu. Quantity Surveyor

hello sir,

I was really fascinated by your lecture on project construction management. Since I am

studying in the ESTP of Paris the same field which is construction management, it would be

very nice from you to send me the whole lecture to read it and any other document that can

be instructive. Maybe my opinion is not important but from the few pages that i have read i

can assure you that you are doing a great job.

thank you

Dr. El Beltagi,

Asalamu Alaikum, I hope this email finds you well, and that you still remember me.

My name is Ahmed Badawi. I am a former student of yours. You may remember me from

coming to your office after every lecture with tons of questions and sending you emails asking

you to go over some of my lecture notes.

I’ve thought about emailing you small updates ever since my graduation, but every time I sat

down to write one, I didn’t know where or how to start. I doubt I expressed my appreciation

enough back when I was in your class, but your motivating words played an instrumental role in

my own growth, and for that I can never express enough gratitude. I often think of things from

your lectures and I still have the notes from my class and refer to them regularly. The one event I

recall most frequently is when you wrote down two questions on the board and asked us to hand

over our answers on a sheet of paper. The two questions were; “What is the most valuable

lesson you have learned so far?” and “Write down one question that troubles you the

most?”

When I look back on this event, I realize how closely related the two questions were to each

other. It’s well established that we learn the most valuable lessons in life in times of trouble, that

we prosper, and harness our will only after we reach the fatigue of despair. It is fascinating how

the answer to one question guides you to the answer to the other.

I know that it has not always been easy for you to teach and inspire students in the difficult times

we've been going through, yet you have always found a way to make a connection and aspire

motivation. Your students should know how fortunate they are to have you as their professor. I

wish you all the best, and I hope you continue reaching other students as you reached me for

many years to come. I hope that we continue our mentee / mentor relationship to which I credit

the powerful yet gentle role that has truly shaped my life.

Please do stay in touch. May Allah guide us all to His path and use us, and accept us with His

mercy among His righteous servants. Amen.

Sincerely,

Ahmed Badawi

I have seen that there is a book (?) called Lecture Note on Construction Management from you - where

could I download it.

Also, has you been published - I really like your style as even someone without an engineer background

like me can understand it very easily.

Thank you very much in advance for your kind help.

Dear Dr Elbeltagi

As background my name is Aila Haavisto and I study in Aalto University,

School of Engineering in Finland. I’m starting my master’s thesis this fall.

It is mainly about conceptual cost estimation and while searching suitable

references I found Chapter 3 of your lecture notes. I find your notes to be

very informative and well written so I’d like to use some of it in the theory

part of my master’s thesis.

I’d like to use your lecture notes from course Construction Cost Estimating

as reference in my master’s thesis and would also like to ask if you used

some good references yourself while writing those notes. As you know while

writing master’s thesis it is preferred that the most original references are

used and that is why I also like to ask which references you have used

yourself.

Best regards,

Prof. Emad,

It is an honour to work with you. I read several publications for you and I

was feeling proud to read superstars Egyptian names in the construction

scheduling field (I memorize their names).

My research point I am currently proposing is basically dynamic scheduling

for projects with repetitive activities (i.e. using LSM). The first trial is

to produce a robust schedule. I can send you further details if the subject

is interesting for you.

Best wishes,

I am a young 22 year old student of The University of Technology Jamaica. I must first tell you

that i ran into your work by mere co-incidence, and am now intrigued by them.

My dream is to become one of the top ten (10) Construction Project Managers within the world.

In fact I am planning to travel to the Middle East after Graduation to improve my skills by

gaining experience from engineers like yourself within the field.

I hope to become someone like you in society when I grow older, one who a student would want

to look up to and consult for assistance. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

much.

(current research interests include: renewable energy system, power system

“Comparison among five evolutionary-based optimization algorithms”

I very like your paper so it very good and the first comparison of the algorithm

and Prof have used Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm in calculate.

Now, I have study for SFL algorithm to use in my search (Calculate capacity in

small system). But SFL algorithm is new too, it has not book. Because, I still don't

understand and write program of this algorithm.

Prof could help me? You could teach me for basis for using the Visual Basic

programming language to: Pseudo code for a SFL procedure.

Thank you very much! I wish you good health and happiness.

Dear Dr. Emad,

It is so nice to find that my country has a smart professor like you.

I am a research assistant in HBRC and I am working now on my MSc thesis in Cairo University.

I heard form many people about your generosity and your great support to students.

Now, I write my MSc thesis but I still have a chapter that does not completed yet, so I need your

help.

This chapter is about ant colony optimization. I understand this optimization but I face a problem

in making a program for ACO to get my outputs. I make more searches to find any program

for that but I did not find an easy tool to help me. I know from someone that you have many

researches in this field so I decide to ask you specially for helping me. To explain my problem in

details, I can say that I need to make a program of multi objective ACO. I have two objects (i.e.

Cost & LEED) and I need to use the two methods of ACO; 1) function-transformation method,

and 2) modified distance method. So I ask you for a help in finding any program and with its

code for making that.

Finally, I am sorry for taking a part of your valuable time in reading my message and I hope

that my problem will be solved by a kind and a famous professor called Dr. Emad Elbeltagi.

Thank you so much and I will wait your answer.
