Born and raised in Lebanon, Nasser earned his PhD at the U of S, where he served as a professor of civil engineering for 33 years. His research led to the invention of the K-slump tester, a device that easily tests the consistency, or slump, of fresh concrete. The tester was used in the construction of Toronto’s CN Tower and is still widely used today.

The C.J. Mackenzie Gala of Engineering Excellence provides an opportunity for the engineering community to celebrate one of its own.
