My Grandfather is a retired civil engineer. His passion for his work had a great deal to do with my interest in the discipline of civil engineering. As an only child, I spent much of my time as a young boy finding ways to entertain myself. My creativity expanded rapidly because of this, often spending hours producing structures with Lego and building earthen dams in our backyard. Educated at an international school, I was exposed to diverse topics that dispelled many of the myths and mysteries
“Science can amuse us all, but it is engineering that challenges the world” –Isaac Asimov Cluster of Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics in my schooling sowed a seed of engineering passion in me. It was during my 9th grade, when I represented the school in an inter-school Science-Quiz competition, motivated me to discover the auxiliary essentials of Science and technology in modern world. In my high school the various topics in Physics and Mathematics made me wonder how the blend of traditional
My career plan stances from the professional and academic experience I have and from the reality I have been living in Peru, where people are shocked when they hear that as a woman I studied civil engineering at university. Certainly, this shows the antiquated thought process in Peru’s culture, where civil engineering is not seen as a suitable career path for a woman. I must mention that my choice of major started way back at my uncle’s house, where I first saw a laboratory of geotechnical civil
I have always possessed a strong affinity for automobiles and becoming a successful automotive service engineer had been my only desire since completing my undergraduate study. I discovered my passion in the field of automotive research after joining a Japanese company. While working as a contract design engineer for Honda Automobile Research and Development Center in Japan for over two years, I was placed in the Body Design team which gave me a vital opportunity to interact with professional engineers
I connect my black and white dreams with this proverb and confidently believe that it coincides with my character. It gives me an optimistic hope that someday my dreams would make a colourful presence in my real life. It has loaded me with a tremendous load of motivation and self-confidence. I had realised that failures are the stepping stones that guide you as pathbreakers to success. Our world has seen a plethora of events and time has paced itself with specific benchmarks at each era of history
innovation and vast opportunity for improvement. Civil engineering is one such science which is a gamut of technologies. All through my adolescent and adult years I have been insistent on one thing. It has been my endeavour to fill all my personal activities and pursuits with passion and joy. This approach has also brought important decisions before me. I finished my undergraduate study in civil engineering and my decision to opt for engineering as my career option has given away the most practical and
family, and my individual and unique (for an elementary-aged child) hobby, playing golf. Making friends was a challenge. My same-aged peers had different interests, yet I did not fit in with the teen golfers because I was just too immature at 8 years old and four feet tall. I was truly more comfortable with adults. Enrollment at Sickles High School was the start of my becoming more outgoing and social. My plan was to become a mechanical engineer, so I took drafting, the engineering and architectural
Over all else, I would choose robotics. I have poured my heart into designing and building robots ever since I joined my school’s FIRST Robotics team in my freshman year of highschool. In addition to FIRST, I have spent the past two summers working at an educational robotics startup. I am now spending my free time building a four and a half foot bipedal humanoid robot with a friend. I love the challenge of solving design problems and coming up with unique solutions, and I hope to eventually start
I am applying to pursue my Master of Applied Science (M. A. Sc.) in Electrical Engineering. My areas of interest are power systems, sensors and digital systems. My career goal is to pursue my career as a researcher, either as a teaching faculty or in an R & D department of an industry. With the enthusiasm and the predilection to science, I started my bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. In my childhood, my father used to help me to study mathematics and science, the way he
My primary research interests are in the fields of mechanical engineering. MS in mechanical engineering can provide me with the platform to further improve and ultimately refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. I wish to contribute areas like automotive, production and manufacturing, and renewable energy sources in this field significantly by acquiring the learning that will enable me to contribute to the development of mechanical engineering, which can improve efficiency and accuracy
