Statement Of Purpose For Structural Engineering

Right way, his elegancy in making us to understand about mild steels cast iron and various heat treatment process involved in making wheels and axles impressed me big time. Similarly, I attended a workshop in Photovoltaics and I felt importance of material science for enhancing efficiency of solar cells. My keen interest and desire to go to the roots of each and every concept, profundity of thinking and systematic approach of understanding the subject matter help me to secure Gold Medal at institutional level for academic excellence in Mechanical Engineering department of the college where I did my under graduate study. With a sense of focus and responsibilities I learnt the intricacies involved in research and the kinds of demands that it makes. All of this coupled with the sense of achievement which comes at the end, encouraged me to be a part of research which would help me explore the areas of my interest, namely Microstructure

If you had asked me a year ago what I was going to do with my life, I would have had no idea. This thought scared me because I was a junior in high school, and I did not know where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. I had dreams of being an astronomer or an architect, but I could always find a reason against these careers. I remember thinking, ‘I just want to make an impact.’ I wanted to live a purposeful life, one filled with adventure and challenges. One where, there was always work to be done, and something to accomplish. Then though some divine intervention, I discovered Civil Engineering. Through personal experience and learning about the occupation, I have decided that as a Civil Engineer I can accomplish my own personal goals while also benefiting others.

Born and brought up in middle- class family instilled a sense of management very early in my life. Besides this, I owe my technical background to my father; who is a business person in industrial metal-cutting tools. With him, I got the privilege to visit many industries during my school days. This industrial experience sprouted the seeds of engineering in my mind and ultimately I decided to opt for Mechanical Engineering as my undergraduate course of study.

It is my greatest honor to be a Boilermaker. When I graduated from high school and decided to study abroad, I did not hesitate choosing Purdue University as my first choice for its extraordinary reputation in quality of educating and academic researches. Indeed, the experiences in Lyles School of Civil Engineering of Purdue University was perfect: enjoying the safe campus, making new friends, taking great courses, meeting outstanding professors and participating a promising research. These will compete me, being the cornerstone of my career success. During these years, the curriculum of civil engineering was truly beneficial and constructed my entire knowledge of being a structural engineer: in CE474, Structural Analysis Ⅱ, I have been taught deeper to determine force equilibrium, moment, indeterminacy and deflection for a given structure using several methods, moment area, force method, virtual work method and MATLAB etc.; in CE473, Reinforced Concrete Design, I have learned how a concrete component should be reinforced, what the flexural and shear behaviors are, and how slabs and columns are supposed to be designed and in CE470, Steel Design, I have familiarized not only the correct use of AISC Code and SAP2000 software, but also the theoretical calculation in designing and checking typical steel components. Moreover, in order to explore further and wider in civil engineering as well as to enrich academic experiences, I had an internship at KanShe Architecture and

One of the first and most common questions I get bombarded with is “Why did you choose Mechanical Engineering?” as girls taking up the course is considered quite an oddity. As a child, I had frequently visited my uncle’s plastics manufacturing company. Among everything that I saw there, what fascinated me the most was the harmony in the synchronization of so many different sub systems which eventually amalgamate as one, forming a complex working system. Realizing my interest and my aptitude in physics, my mom gifted me the book ‘Principles of Physics’ (Halliday, Resnick & Walker, 2010) when I was in the eleventh grade. The book opened new doors for me and I began to really enjoy the process and techniques used in problem solving. Once the intoxication of the pleasure of reaching a solution for a problem after

Growing up in India, I was surrounded by a juxtaposition of numerous architectural styles that inspired me and brought me onto the path of studying and designing architecture. My memory loops back to the anxiety and thrill of an architectural student review; although terrifying, I have been hooked on to that feeling since my first review, to support your design process at the risk of bad reception by the jurors. It opened my eyes to my passion and motivated me to push forward and to think like a designer. Through my studies in university I gained my foundation in architecture, right from learning different skills of drawing and presentation to learning about design and construction. My perspective on the world altered after taking up a sustainable

Considering my curiosity and experience in Civil Engineering and after having passed proper academic courses and gaining an adequate knowledge, I'm seriously intended to continue my studies to obtain my doctoral degree in Civil Engineering with an emphasis on concrete in order to be able to do professional researches in this field. So I’m enthusiastically applying to Oklahoma State University for graduate studies program.

Frankly, my family always encouraged me to become a doctor at the hospital, so I grew up having the dream of joining the Medicine School to fulfill my family’s ambition which I thought it was mine too. In grade 10, I was studying at night and suddenly the electricity went off and that made me think what if I am a doctor doing a life-and-death surgery for a patient and the power goes out. I thought about energy recourses and other medical equipment the doctors use, who made them? I started thinking that I can provide more services than doctors do. I can design and produce items that all use and provide reliable and sustainable energy for us all. From that night, I decided to study an engineering-related discipline, and upon completing high school and after consulting a Mechanical Engineering graduate who explicitly explained to me what mechanical Engineering is all about, I found that Mechanical Engineering is the best choice among the engineering fields.

Being a city dweller, I have been surrounded by many tall concrete buildings but I did not appreciate the beauty of them until I came across architecture. I first encountered architecture when I took Art Studies as one of my subjects during SPM in high school as I loved to draw and paint at a very young age. I did a 4 month product design related project and the project has given me an opportunity to discover and appreciate the design of everything surrounding us. I learned to create models from simple materials like cardboard and paint and evaluate how to improve the models. Architecture, I believe, will provide me a platform to further develop my love for creation of new things.

Ever since my childhood I was very much fascinated about the buildings and roads, that desire lead me to opt for Civil Engineering in under graduation. Even when I stood at the crossroads to my future, it is the most multi-disciplinary scope and the down-to-earth realistic nature of ‘Civil Engineering’ amongst the various domains available that attracted me to tread the path of Civil Engineering. And I found my calling.

I would spend hours together experimenting and analyzing various mechanics around me like the ball bearings in my bicycle & roller skates and would be fascinated by my spring loaded toy cars. During my higher secondary schooling, I showed special interest in mathematics and physical sciences and in order to supplement the education that I received in school, I became a habitual reader of science magazines and books. As a direct consequence of this, I came to know about the latest developments in the field of science and engineering, especially aerospace and manufacturing engineering as it deeply interested me and I was naturally inclined to like the subject. The basics I learnt in school only whetted my appetite for more learning. It was but natural I would choose to take up manufacturing engineering as a career choice when I joined

I was born in a family which is fulfilled with civil engineering elements, thus my childhood environment aroused my strong interests of engineering and construction. For example, my father is an excellent civil engineer who participated in the design and construction of many large projects. We have models of bridge and building and everywhere in our home such as the delicate Tower Bridge and the ingenious Eiffel Tower. Furthermore, we have collected numerous architectonic books from all around the world, which became my best mentor for construction. Throughout my growth stages, I spent a lot of my leisure time on construction, for instance, following my father to visit construction sites in China. Therefore, I resolved to be an engineer and

Academic Background: I have completed my undergraduate studies in Mechanical engineering from “Acharya institute of Technology”, Bangalore, India in year 2016, scoring an average of 60.34%. I was an active somehow indulgent student among others during my undergraduate studies, very often involved in many curricular and co-curricular activities. In fact, I was up to the mark and honored in the top 20th of 120 students in my undergraduate class. If observed by the meritorious efforts I remain very competent and I have passed all entrance/Terminal tests conducted by the academic institution of my education with high achievements and secured overall good. I did my final year thesis project on “Multipurpose 3 in 1 mechanical machine drilling, shaping & hacksaw cutting” with the group of four members in which I was the Group Leader. The machine is designed for the purpose of multipurpose i.e. drilling, hacksaw cutting & shaping operation. In this project, I learned and researched that machine perform multipurpose operation at the same time with required speed and this machine is automatic which is controlled or operated by motor which runs with the help of current. The machine is based on the mechanism of whit worth’s return. While working on this project I found strong motivation in myself towards graduate study and research in the area of Machine operation. At present, I am working as a Service Engineer Zed Maruti, Shankar group, from last few months which is the leading

My enthusiasm for architecture has developed from a very young age furthermore remains as a long-lasting passion of mine. My interest in mathematics and natural talent in art has played a huge role in my decision of becoming an architect. To pursue my passion for architecture, I studied graphic design and fine art for A-levels at ‘City and Islington College’. This has enabled me to gain the suitable artistry to visualise ideas and demonstrate my flair for creative design. My art-based educational background has influenced me to realise that architectural forms are creative representations of a designer’s imagination. Therefore, I believe that architecture is not just a career path, but also a platform which I could self-express my ideas. I

Reminiscing about the factors that helped me in making this decision, I need to step back to my school days. After completing high school, I had the choice to pursue medicine or physics. My penchant for physics and mathematics encouraged me to choose the field of mathematical sciences. This decision was bolstered by my cent per cent marks in mathematics in the class XII exam. This was my first step towards study of engineering as my undergraduate academic pursuit.
