Feb 20th, 2018: Gentle sunshine awakens us Spring coming.
I work as a lecturer in the Department of Civil
Engineering, Polytechnics State of Padang, West
Sumatra, Indonesia. This is one of the classes I teach
where female students predominate, unlike the
situation when I was a civil engineering student in
1996. I teach in classes and laboratories, preparing
students for field work. One of our laboratories is for
all aspects of steel work, from designing, through
steel welding, to making simple but useful products.
While teaching, I feel happy if I can motivate them,
based on my own experiences as an alumna, to
always keep reaching for their dreams. They have to
learn a lot, while maintaining a positive attitude. So,
“be disciplined, honest, think positively, do your best
and never give up” is advice that I often give them.
They can be whatever they want, as long as they
have the right attitude. And that’s the reason why I
love to be a lecturer.

In the Steel Work Laboratory
To be the mother of two girls, both of them in
elementary school now, is really challenging. Actually,
it’s not difficult to find a job after graduation, but
finding the right balance between work and family can
be challenging. Sometimes I have to spend most of my
time outside for meetings, work supervision, business
trips, or teaching on other campuses. My kids always
ask me what time I will be home after work, because
they need my help to do homework, make drawings,
cooking, or just to accompany them to watch Japanese
animations which they like most such as Doraemon,
Precure, Yokai Watch, etc. Or when I have a work
deadline, one of them might have a fever, and I have
to care for them. It’s not easy to build a career while
also bringing up two kids, but I am so happy to have
them in my life because they relieve my stress when I
am back home with their smiles and laughter. To All
civil engineers, wherever you work and wherever you
live, always keep smiling, never give up on your
dreams and be strong for your family, because you can
do your best if you believe in yourself!

Interestingly, Dr. Watanabe’s son, Takashi
Asahina (1908-2001) is the famous orchestra
conductor called "the Karajan of Japan”; he was
an excellent musician with a special sympathy
for the classics of the Austro-German repertoire
– Bruckner, Beethoven, Mahler and Brahms in
particular.
Dr. Kaichi Watanabe (1858-1932), alumnus in 1883 is known as
‘the Father of the History of Civil Engineering in Japan’. He
graduated top of his class and got degrees in Civil Engineering
and Science at the University of Glasgow, Scotland, UK.
He was then involved in the construction of the Forth Bridge,
which is one of the most famous cantilever bridges in the world.
You can find him (center) and the principles of this bridge on the
British 20-pound note, thanks to his important contribution.

Actually, he was adopted soon after birth by Mr. Rinnosuke ASAHINA (1869 – 1923) , who is also an
alumnus of UT from 1905, the railway engineer and subordinate of Dr. Watanabe. Amazingly, this famous
conductor had two civil engineer fathers!
Note: This topic was suggested by Emeritus Prof. Kenji Ishihara, alumnus in 1957.
By the way, there have been a number of musicians in the Department of Civil Engineering. Someday we
may organize an orchestra of Civil Engineers! (by Yoshihiro Takano, Alumnus in 1979)
