Statement of Purpose
Ali Hendi
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.
Now, I’m going to describe my background and experiences, stating my aims to my future work, then explaining the reason that I chose this university for my purpose.
"our life, exempt from public haunt, Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything". This William Shakespeare quote is an incentive for me to be an audacious explorer in my life. I remember the time I came back home after the school when I was studying in 5th grade of elementary, told my mother "the teacher believed in me as a genius. What a shame, I think

In this stage I worked with one of my fellows and these two took me more than 4 years' tremendous work and we finally had enough self-confidence to produce these unique products.
From 2013 to 2015, two years in draft, but fortunately part time as a conscript in the engineering post to design structures of "Military Leased Family Shopping Units". In the meanwhile, I proposed lots of other projects and they temporary exempted me for several days. Most of the proposed projects related to rehabilitation of their structures to save their budget.
From 2007 to 2017, working usually part time for lots of company like, Bokhar Gostar, Pirapad, Uban Rahsaz machine, and participating in construction of 6 story building as an
The excellent course profile and the erudite faculty has made me feel that graduate studies in your institution would be instrumental in shaping my career goal. Also, the purpose of education is achieved when the knowledge gained is well blended with the proper sense of research and application. With the various research centers and the potential research work carried here, I see good research projects to further strengthen my grip in my discipline. I am also keen on taking part in extracurricular activities, social events, fundraisers and community projects, entrepreneur/innovators club, and student government association. The research based curriculum and sophisticated laboratories at the university inveigle me towards pursuing my graduation
I look forward to the opportunity to study at your university where I intend to not only study a subject I am enthused about, but to also develop myself into an individual that can positively contribute to the institution and one day, society
It was an introductory class on physical chemistry and our chemistry teacher was teaching us the allotropes of carbon. At the end of the class, he asked us, “What do you think makes a small piece of diamond more precious than tons of charcoal, although they are made up of same carbon atoms? Is it its appearance? No. It’s the pressure that the carbon endured for thousands of years to become a diamond”. “A diamond is just a piece of charcoal that handled the pressure well”, he quoted. “No pressure, No diamond. Pressure shapes a diamond, in the same way, persistence in challenging situation shapes a man”- I still remember all these words from my high school chemistry teacher which made a huge impact in me and made me realize that perseverance is the key to reach the sky.
I can thrive in the community your university has created, along with the academic rigor it will present me, and this is all I could ask for of a school. I am willing and ready to accept all the challenges that the
As the world is moving towards more advancement, many constructions are planned and constructed day to day. Any structural construction simply stands on the soil. So, Geotechnical Engineering has much more to do with every construction being planned. Always being an enthusiast to learning and innovation, the four-year undergraduate degree inspired me to achieve and learn more.
Discuss your professional objectives both short and long term. What has motivated you to apply to this program?
There exists an ethical issue in whether it is morally acceptable for engineers to participate in the research, design, and manufacture of weapons. Weapons by nature are designed to hurt if not kill another individual. As such, the development of weapons by engineers seems to be contradictory to one of the fundamental canons of the NSPE code of ethics to “hold paramount the safety, health, and welfare of the public”. As an aspiring Aerospace engineer, I will be entering a field that has a sizeable contribution to the development of weapons of war. I will analyze the topic using different ethical theories to determine if engineers should continue to contribute to the development weapons that’s will affect the safety of the public.
While I could simply introduce myself and list off my reasons for wanting to attend this fine university, it would not only be boring to write but to read as well. Instead, I want you, whoever may be reading this, to genuinely understand who I am as a person and what drives me.
In the light of global competition, Taiwan’s machinery industry is in urgent desire heading towards to fields of high precision and high stability. However, the most urgent issue is that over 90 % of machinery manufacturers is small-to-medium enterprises. With limited financial resources for research investment, these companies having a hard time maintaining their technological competitiveness. Through my undergraduate training and relevant work experience, I have a strong determination to dedicate myself to developing key technologies for the industry and become a leading researcher, focusing on the dynamic behavior of machines. I sincerely believe that I can make a great step towards this goal with the
I write this as an undergraduate student seeking admission to the Electrical Engineering graduate program of Stanford with a research focus on Hardware/Software Systems. The exponential advancement in technology over the last decade with the rise of Internet of Things and Big data analytics has necessitated novel computational techniques. New design paradigms in hardware architectures have emerged to expand the capabilities of physical devices. I am fascinated by the potential impact of efficient system design and analysis on information technology. At graduate school, I would like to work at the intersection of embedded systems and data science, contributing to tackling various design challenges that include designing energy efficient and secure systems and analyzing collected data to make new hypotheses. I consider my choice of
Upon completion of civil engineering from Tribhuwan University, I was ambivalent about pursuing MS in Civil Engineering. I was
I am applying to your university because of the excellent reputation of your school. In addition, your splendid facilities are also a major attraction to me. In my experience as a student I know for certain that good facilities can make a difference in a student's life and learning experience. I hope you will grant me the privilege of pursuing my Master’s Degree in your prestigious
I am disciplined in my approach and I am not afraid to take initiative. Considering my background I believe I have much to offer your university. My central ambition is to give significance in our everyday lives by combining art and historic preservation with smart design. I constantly
‘It is when I struggle that I strengthen. It is when challenged to my core that I learn the depth of who I am.’ I kept on repeating this to myself waiting for my campus interview in the final year. Sitting there with fervor, I entered the room with utmost confidence. The whole interview was not just technical but challenged my grit, determination and presence of mind. And after coming out of the interview, I just knew I had grabbed the opportunity. That day taught me; challenges can make you or break you; it all depends on you.
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
