Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc. announces the appointment of Nazme Mohsina to the position of global technical director.
Mohsina, who returns to AMCA International following two years with a climate and energy consultancy, is responsible for driving consistency, integrity, and engineering quality in the establishment and application of product testing and certification requirements applied by global staff, members, and partners. Additionally, she provides leadership to achieve technical objectives and operational goals and serves as an arbitrator in technical appeals related to standards and functions.
Spreadsheets of product data
With a bachelor’s degree in electrical and electronic engineering from Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Dayton, Mohsina got her start with AMCA International in 2011, working part-time checking manufacturer catalogs for compliance with requirements of the Certified Ratings Program (CRP). She proved to be a quick study, eventually landing a full-time position as project engineer.
Mohsina volunteered to develop databases and spreadsheets of product data
When the U.S. Department of Energy announced its intention to regulate fans, Mohsina volunteered to develop databases and spreadsheets of product data and to analyze the data in support of AMCA International advocacy efforts. She soon was drawn into other projects, including the development and updating of AMCA International test standards. Meanwhile, her knowledge of Middle Eastern and Indian culture proved integral to AMCA International’s growth in the Middle East.
International advocacy efforts
In March 2017, Mohsina was promoted to associate director of certification, a role that saw her responsible for directing the activities and managing the staff of the CRP.
Her technical acumen and intense focus on member satisfaction led to her promotion to technical director in May 2019, a position that saw her responsible for the operations of the AMCA International headquarters laboratory, AMCA International independent laboratories, the AMCA International Laboratory Accreditation Program, and the CRP. In 2020, Mohsina was named to Engineered Systems magazine’s 20 to Watch: Women in HVAC list.
