Personal Statement Of Purpose For Civil Engineering

Management of construction projects needs skills and knowledge in modern management and comprehension of construction and design process. In construction projects, the relevant technology processes, and arrangements differ, but common sequence of events apply. Construction projects generally require a specification of the project plans and objectives that entail budgeting, scope, setting of performance requirements, scheduling, and project participants (Rojas, 2009). It also requires project management specifics like the resource utilization by procurement of materials, labor, and equipment to project plan and schedule. In addition, it leads to implementation of several operations by effective control, estimation, design, construction, and contracting (Mincks & Johnston, 2010). The sequence of events occurring in the construction phase is categorized into three broad areas including foundation, structural, and finishes sequence.

At the age of eight, I was diagnosed with stage three osteosarcoma in my right leg. In an eleven hour surgery, surgeons removed my entire femur. Afterwards, I was always told that I would not be able to do certain things, mainly in the educational area, but time and time again, I have proven medical experts wrong. Since being released from the hospital, I have achieved all A’s, and I have achieved top ten every year. I have ranked number five in my class. Having cancer did not take my life. Instead, cancer gave me a second chance at life. That is why I am so determined to succeed and make the best of the second chance the Heavenly Father has given me and become a pediatric oncologist.

The main objective of this project was to experience what a career in civil engineering would resemble. In order to achieve my goal of becoming familiar with the project development process and funding sources, I attended project meetings, visited active construction sites, and became familiar with engineering plans and drawings (both civil and architectural). In addition, I learned about project scheduling, oversight, and maintenance. I

My name is Hassan Deen. At a very young age my parents learned that I had cancer. Because it was close to the stem in my brain I wasn’t likely going to be able to walk or even talk.. It wasn’t an easy journey, after surgery I wasn’t able to move or even communicate. I had therapy till I reached age 9 to help me walk, talk, and even eat solid food. I can remember all those visits in the doctor’s office. Having to listen to all those Hannah Montana songs while having MRI scans and getting my smiley face sticker after each lesson or jab. Eventually I made it

Construction projects have always been a very important part of human civilisation. For handling a construction project there need men, money, machinery, material and management. The project would be successful when the project manager has these five variables under control. The key to project success is to pick the right project manager. A right project manager is the person who manages the triple constraints (cost, quality and time), scope and safety for the project to be planned in a correct way. A project manager should be capable of satisfying customer needs. Keeping clients satisfaction as a key goal, he should follow the project management principles. As the company wants to employ a project manager this report involves the key factors a project manager (builder) needs. It also addresses the roles and responsibilities of a site manager and project manager by using the project management principles overview which is applicable for this project.

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

Although I believe that at this stage in my life that it is premature to have defined, long-reaching goals, I have set and achieved several short-term goals, all in keeping within my belief in the philosophy that knowledge for its own sake is fascinating and worthy of pursuit. I have found that as I learn more and more about the world around me, new venues open and new goals manifest, giving me new frontiers to explore. I am currently interested in computer science and have set a goal to pursue a degree in Engineering. As with many of the other goals that I set and achieved in the past, the most major influence on this goal is the fact that I have been home-schooled for most of my education. This opportunity has allowed me to consistently dedicate much more time to extracurricular activities and other personal projects than otherwise.

“The difficulty in life is the choice.”- George Moore. There are so many careers to choose when you join the university. Joining the university is a choice within itself. The decision was tough, but I chose to study to become a construction manager. My responsibilities as a construction manager are to oversee the construction of buildings, bridges, and the structures that allow people to live their daily lives. I am in charge of seeing that the infrastructure, the foundation of modern life, is built efficiently and correctly, because without a solid foundation, everything else will crumble. I chose construction management to ensure a stable future for society and in this paper I will be discussing what construction management is, why construction management is important, and why I chose the degree of construction management.

I believe that education is the key to every person to be successful and to develop his/her society and the country. My aim to pursue Construction Project Management is to improve and widen my skills and knowledge and have a professional contribution to the world because this course will add value of my bachelor degree of science in Quantity Surveying. I am building my career in construction industry and it is required to have a high education background to be competitive on the market. This will only be achieved through learning, practicing and getting experience. The course will open a whole new world of opportunities to enhance my employability by adding to my curriculum vitae an internationally respected and recognized qualification. Construction project management will enable me to develop skills in different areas such as

“If you do not believe you can do it then you have no chance at all”, as quoted by Arsene Wenger, one of the best sporting minds in the world. The above mentioned statement served as a fuel for me in my academic career so far. My academic career had many twists and turns, sometimes obstructing my way, but it actually blessed me in disguise that latter I self-realized that one should be content with his/her performance, and accepted the blockades in a very challenging aspect and succeeded them by doing fairly well than what I presumed before. It will always serve as an inspiration for me and will lead as sole base to carry the expectations of mine and family.

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

I have always believed in the above adage which asks for more and more learning and I am applying for graduate studies in order to quench my thirst for knowledge. The most important reason for pursuing graduate studies is that it will raise me to a level of excellence where upon I would have the ability to impart knowledge, convince and innovate in my field.

Abstract: The construction projects generally are broadly categorized as Green Field Projects and Brown Field Projects. In recent years Indian Construction Industry practices has set benchmarks globally through adaption of planned policies, their quality standards and ability to complete projects within the defined time frame. Here comes the concept of Project and Construction Management. Within this sector of building construction allied with civil, structure, interior and services, Project Management can be defined on the thumb rule of five stages involved , which are interconnected and can be categorized as Initiate, Plan, Design, Construction, Close out and Handover. Majorly the difference between Project Management and Construction Management can be summarized as Project Management being associated mainly with planning, designing, budgeting and co-ordination, on the other hand Construction Management is associated majorly with on-site execution, building

I was once often told that I will never be able to use English like a native speaker in my younger school years. English is my third language. To many linguist, I may be regarded as an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) student. There may even me preconceived prejudiced notions that I do not use English enough or that I do not have much use of English to be able to attain native-like proficiency in the language. I am one of the EFL learners of English who is not demotivated to learn and use the language despite obvious criticism at a young age.

Since childhood I was fascinated towards machines and I always stand against the idea of cramming the textbooks for the sake of good grades. For me, Science and Engineering is about Learning and Application. Can you imagine the Air Bus A380 airliner, the largest passenger airliner in history, which is packed with cutting-edge technology, owes its very existence to the most unlikely breakthroughs - a Mongolian bow and a 19th century rocket? I learnt this while watching “Engineering Connections” show on National Geographic.
