Personal Statement In Water Engineering

Even in my youth, I was concerned about the environment and humanity’s impact upon it. That concern developed into an ardent passion to fix or mitigate the issues we are bringing to our world. Thus my resolution to become an environmental engineer was born. However, most schools do not offer this program, and it has considerably narrowed my options. My search has led me to Rensselaer, the first college to establish an accredited Environmental Engineering program. While visiting Rensselaer, I spoke with an environmental engineer major, and she described her research and internship experiences. She specifically mentioned class lessons devoted to water quality. I have been doing research on this topic for the past two years and find it fascinating. Therefore, I was glad to see that I could use class instruction to build upon my prior knowledge. During

My father was a mechanical engineer who loved what he did. He would come home with hard drives in his hand and tinker with them as he tried to find ways to make them more efficient. He would show me the miniscule parts that he designed and how they worked. These experiences were not lost on me, as they led me to grow an interest in the sciences and in engineering. Although the interest was there, the motivation was usually absent. His passing lit a fire in me. Rather than giving up, I used his love, and my interest, to pursue my own career in engineering. My renewed love for the sciences and math gave me a new purpose. I focused more on school, especially in Chemistry, Physics, and Math, and worked harder to improve my grades. My goal of acquiring a chemical engineering degree allowed me to shift my focus from my father to my future. Looking back, I realize now that had it not been for my love of engineering, I never would have been able to overcome the obstacle of my father’s death, and I never would have found my true

I was with my family and the stop and not a lot of gasoline day but we found a small country that almost abandoned I did not find people and I felt as if someone was watching us and I thought that i was going to give but It was wrong me and my family are looking to see if there people to give us water and we could not find anybody but we realized that they are hiding they think that we are bad because I already had a lot of people who do not stop in the small country and I told them that we are not bad that we did not come to buy water and person come out and asked them if they sell waters and the person said they are grabbing here they got lost and I answered we did not run out of water the person said yes and we said thank you we were thirsty

For this assignment, I chose my home in Coastal Georgia. This area includes Brunswick (city and rural areas), St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island and Sea Island. I have had the privilege of contacting our County Commissioner, Dale Provenzano, formally a board member for the Joint Water and Sewer Commission, to enlighten me in the areas of water sourcing, demand, challenges, and solution recommendations.

A.) By far the most enlightening and rewarding activities I have ever participated in, SMART (Stormwater Management And Research Team) and tennis are pursuits that I will never cease to pursue. As a SMART member, I am constantly in the field, sampling, recording, and analyzing data for the conductivity, phosphorous, turbidity, E.coli, pH, and bacteria levels in local streams. I find this work enrapturing, as I am experimenting on a daily basis and seeing with my own eyes the adverse effects of stormwater on both the water quality and biodiversity in these streams. It gives me indescribable satisfaction to partake in scientific research about the very real, pervasive environmental issue of stormwater contamination. I am forever challenged to

In the near future, I hope to have a strong impact on the repair of our environment. I strive to challenge myself with an education in environmental engineering to solve the detrimental problems. Recently, I got accepted into the Missouri University of Science and Technology, a top-of-the-line engineering school to prepare readiness in solving specific scientific issues. Throughout my path towards my tertiary education, I have gained skills of problem-solving and temperance to cope with economic and educational obstacles.

Like Seldon, Yale students innovate with purpose. Yale engineers are currently working on projects to improve access to water in Cameroon, through Engineers without Borders. This commitment to community involvement is even seen in the classroom, through unique course offerings at Yale, like Professor Jaehong Kim’s course called Environmental Technology and the Developing World. This course is especially attractive to me because its students take a trip to Nicaragua to collect data and conduct research on air quality, hygiene, and water clarity. I

Can you not shower for about 5 years and you couldn’t wash your clothes?Just imagine you using your bathroom in front of your house how would you feel that time?Should water be drilled at all or no? This was published in the year of 2014 and this article is talking about if there should be laws or no.There should be laws so farmers do not waste that much water. Farmers should not waste water because other people would are not farmers they couldn’t use water at all. Those people if they are lucky than they have to be going to there family members who lives by them could use their water.

“A child dies every 15 seconds from illnesses caused by unsafe water, most of them in Africa. It's like 15 jumbo jets full of children crashing every day (Pearce).” People dying from contaminated water is a big issue, especially when we have the means and material to get water to people in need. Getting fresh water to people in Africa is beneficial to society because it would improve overall health there for improving overall life.

1. Under the Liberal Party, a rebate on hydro bills was promised, however the party did nothing to fix the increasing prices of electricity and the question lurked about how long it would remain.

“Who thinks they might be interested in engineering as a career?” I asked my class of sixth graders. “UGH. NO,” replied tall blonde Emily. She continued, “Wait. What is that?”

Graduating in the top 5% of my class and early acceptance into a pre-civil engineering program has fulfilled two of my high school education goals. As I enter Oregon State University, I will work toward a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering with a dual major in Sustainability. After I obtain my Bachelor’s of Science Degree I want to continue with my education and work toward a Master’s degree in a field related to Project Management. By completing this level of education it will open leadership opportunities in many levels of Civil Engineering. During college, I hope to find a valuable internship to gain experience in this field of study. By learning from an internship along with education, my goal is to start working for a firm

My enthusiasm for hydrology began when I worked with a hydrologist as a student in the NASA Girls summer program. STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Every Thursday for five weeks my mentor, Miss Aimee Teaby, and I would do something related to STEM. For example, the one week we would performed a science activity such as extracting DNA from spinach, and the next week we would do something related to technology, and so on. During these meetings, Miss Aimee and I would discuss what her job was as a hydrologist. She told me about how she was working at Yellowstone and the geysers. During one experiment, she explained to me that when ocean water changes PH, she saw that the ecosystem changed because fish died and animals and people can not eat them. This got me interested in hydrology, and over the weeks I asked her a plethora of questions about what her profession was about. I am very excited about this search because I want to learn more about what she does.

“Come on guys get together for a picture!” This is most likely what my mom said right before she snapped this picture of my brothers and me in the water on this year’s vacation to Silver Lake, Michigan. As we smiled I’m sure both of my brothers, Jason and Nolan, just wanted to get back to playing in the water as they were before. My dad was probably off drink in hand relaxing and soaking in the rays. Ella, our dog, though was definitely barking and being a pain in everyone’s behind. And me, I was probably annoyed at yet another picture my mom needed to take. However we smiled all happy to be in our favorite place, enjoying time together, and relaxing.

Coming fresh out of high school, earth sciences was never on my radar as a potential future career field. There were no earth science classes available at my schools from kindergarten to 12th grade; I was only briefly exposed to the idea of it during a Georgia history class in middle school. I entered college as a biology major, but subsequently went through the common stage of frantic major switching after I encountered organic chemistry. In the end, I settled with geology after conducting mildly extensive research on what the major entails, the broad range of career opportunities, and the job availability; however, having no exposure to anything earth science-related, whether it be classes, hiking, or camping, I was initially hesitant in pursuing unknown territory. Yet, after a year of geology courses, I attained a compelling fascination with the subject, and particularly with the water science/hydrogeology aspect of the field.
