Personal Statement For Chemical Engineering

When you ask somebody why they chose the path they are taking they will usually respond with the sense that they have wanted to follow that path for as long as they can remember, sometimes they lie about this, and sometimes that is the truth. It is not in my case.

After taking AP Chemistry, I knew that I wanted to study chemistry in college. I also have been a very inquisitive person my whole life, wondering why things are and how things worked. My inquisitive nature and love of chemistry is why chemical engineering appeals to me. I am drawn to Biomedical engineering due to its application of both chemistry and biology to solve medical problems. Doing a complete 360, I am interested in art history, because not only do I find art fascinating, but I also find it mesmerizing how artists visually represent and were inspired by the world around them.

For many years, engineers have transformed life and technology. Engineers are scientists, mathematicians, inventors, and project planners combined. An engineer takes information from various fields and applies that information to solve problems. Engineers invent solutions and products in every field, including disciplines like aerospace, software, biomedical, chemical, civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering. All engineers are given a similar basic education, but they also choose one of these specific disciplines to be trained in. As for chemical engineers, they are responsible for manufacturing chemicals and developing processes for doing so. Along with researching the issues, the chemical engineer must

My decision to pursue undergraduate degree in the United States was received with a lot of skepticism by my family members. Because a career in chemistry is unfortunately not considered as rewarding as compared to careers in medicine or business. Successful chemists are not very heard of in Nepal, and this stems from the fact that not many institutions in Nepal have opportunities for research in Chemistry. My deep interest in this field and a fair bit of persuasion helped me convince my parents to support me in my educational endeavor and therefore I came to Wesleyan College to study chemistry. My desire to become chemical engineer after attending college for two years come from my exposure in this field during an internship at the University of Minnesota over the summer.

Chemical Engineers design and operate equipment processes to change physical matter. They design and develop new machines to produce different chemical reactions. They make 45k-135k a year. Chemical engineers sometimes would work with different hazardous chemicals. Requires University level of education.

Being a first generation college graduate, I epitomize the dreams and sacrifices made by my parents. They made it their life ambition to provide me with the best resources within their capacity. In my journey as a Chemical Engineer, I have experienced and appreciated the magnificence of Chemical Engineering - nano-scale to macro-scale, be it working in an R&D facility or professionally working as a Process Engineer in the Refinery.

I have always enjoyed science class since sixth grade when we first started learning about physics, particularly, work and force. Since then, my passion for science has evolved throughout middle school and high school. I enjoyed learning biology in tenth grade while making connections with the human anatomy taught in seventh grade. It is fascinating how everything is interconnected in the field of science. Currently, I am taking Advanced Placement Chemistry as a junior. The most interesting aspect of this class is the opportunity to learn new material while making connections with the curriculum taught in the past. I enjoy dissecting new information and constructing interdisciplinary connections.

Whilst there I spent time in both the inorganic and organic laboratory’s where I got to use specialist analytical equipment such the XRF and XRD spectrometers, I got to carry out titrations to determine the pH of the waste product produced on plant and use liquid nitrogen to determine the particle size of the zirconium compounds produced. They gave me an insight into how chemistry works in the real world and confirmed my passion for chemistry. Alongside chemistry have also studied Maths, Further Maths and Physics to AS level, chemistry has a significant math’s content and so these subjects have enabled me to increase my mathematical arsenal which I can apply to problems in chemistry. Furthermore, my choice to study physics has allowed me to gain a greater understanding of some chemical concepts such as atomic structure because of the overlap between the

“Chemical Engineering is not an easy major (at all), but if you can make it through to graduation day, you 'll be in demand” (“Chemical Engineering”). A chemical engineer converts substances at tremendous sizes to form new substances or energy for the overall advancement of human life ("What Is Chemical Engineering?"). I have chosen chemical engineering as my future career because the way things are made has always intrigued me. I yearn to comprehend the finite structure of the products we use in our day to day lives. Of course, knowing the career I would like to study is not enough. I must understand what type of schooling and skills will be required, the income and future of this career, along with the experience and attitude I will need to succeed in this field.

I believe most of my career goals match with chemical engineering because it is a broad field of study that combines mathematics and science to make the world a better place. Therefore, there are an abundance of opportunities everywhere. This means that there is a better chance of staying close to home. In addition, Iowa and the Midwest are great places to research and develop biofuels.

Personally for me, Governor’s School of Engineering is a chance to broaden my horizons even more in the STEM field. I want to experience the rigor and depth of the college level courses I will be taking in the near future. Above all, I am so looking forward to meeting like-minded people and working with students from diverse backgrounds from all around the state. Additionally, all of my experiences in STEM outside of academic courses so far have involved a significant amount of teamwork. Truly, an environment I thrive in and this is one of the main reasons I am drawn to the field of science and engineering with it’s emphasis on project based learning and team work.

As far back as I can remember, I have always had a great fascination with chemistry. Thus, when I discovered the chemistry club at my school during my sophomore year, I felt a natural obligation to follow my passion and join the club even though it consisted of only upperclassmen. At our meetings, we explore chemistry with a level of depth that is much greater than in class, participating in various complex labs, domes, experiments, and investigations. I found a newfound appreciation for the realm of chemistry that I will carry with me for the rest of my life as I launched rockets, mixed chemicals, and solved puzzles. In addition, my leadership qualities were demonstrated in the chemistry club through group labs.

One of the crucial moments in my life was the decision I had to take; as to what I was going to do next in life. Having completed my Advanced Level in 2013, I realized that it was not the end of my career as a student. I needed strong academic foundation along with other soft skills to meet the challenges and survive in this commercial world as a successful individual. In view of these thoughts, I was unable to make a firm decision as to what my career direction would be. After a month or so of various discussions with my parents, friends and other learned people I was able to reason out the best choice for me.

The idea of seeing a project come to life is what provokes my desire to become an engineer. In the past, engineers have created the greatest historic innovations such as health technology. My passion for chemical engineering is seeing how the fundamental theories of Chemistry, Physics and Math can be applied to create an innovative industry. In very concrete ways, engineers

My academic performance was good & this acted as a booster & made me look at future with confidence & enthusiasm. In my schooling i was given with the much required information which is needed for a better scientific approach in our life. I learned that just having interest is not sufficient & that it needs to be supplemented with hard work & determination to succeed. I scored 87% in the 10th grade. This result gave me much confidence & left me with a predilection which helped for my academics. Thereafter in my pre-university exams ( 10+2 ) i secured 75%. It was this fascination & years of hard work resulted in my selection in engineering and medicine common entrance test EAMCET. which fetched me an admission into the university college of pharmacy, kakatiya university. It is among one of the best pharmacy colleges in our region with excellent faculty & competitive environment. In my undergraduate course, I have been exposed to the subjects like pharmaceutics, biotechnology, pharmacology, physiology, microbiology, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, physical pharmacy, medicinal chemistry, organic chemistry and I was given a strong foundation in core subjects that have provided commendable groundwork for my advanced study and honed my laboratory skills in these
