STATEMENT OF PURPOSE “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams” - Eleanor Roosevelt I believe it is the combination of knowledge, leadership skills and certitude that will help bridge the gap between dreams and reality. It is my aspiration to lead a successful construction-based firm and to be a one of the top entrepreneurs of my country. Without proper intellectual and practical skills and their suitable implementation, it is difficult to achieve such a high profile position. My pursuit for the above encouraged me to apply to the Construction Engineering and Management program. My decision to opt for Civil Engineering was result of my desire to contribute something advantageous to the society since Civil Engineering directly has an impact on every individual’s life as well as all things, living or non-living, around them and it provides most practicable and real-time approach to tackling nature as well as human problems. Further, it plays a very crucial role in the infrastructural development of a country. I had high academic profile in the course of my schooling. A year after opting Civil Engineering in M.J. College of Engineering and Technology, I realized the importance of two major aspects of study-practicality of knowledge and work skill. Since then, the former aspect was explored by reinforcing my theoretical knowledge with the help of frequent visits to construction sites in my country as well as in Middle East.
Before this entire Career Readiness project, I had an overwhelmingly positive outlook towards the future. I never thought about money, and how I am going to afford everything, so now that this project is coming to a close I feel as though I have gained knowledge on a topic that used to be completely foreign. I have always viewed myself as a very independent human being, so at the age of 23, I hope that this will still be the fact. After all the research on the career of a film editor, I am unsure as to whether it is a career that I see myself pursuing for the rest of my life. Throughout my entire life, I have been drawn to the creative side of existence. After studying photography for a total of four years, doing a research project in film,
The world in the 21st century has grown in the way it looks the buildings, structures, bridges, canals, dams, roads and what not are taking shape!!! All the thanks to civil engineers!! A civil engineer deals with designing, construction and maintenance of the structures and needs to have scientific and technical skills to design high-end buildings that are in alignment and symbolic of the world that we currently live by.
Civil word comes from civilized. Civil engineering is that engineering in which different type of construction is done just to benefit humanity. Civil engineers work for civilization. Civil engineers are the cause of materialistic wonders nowadays. One of the wonder of civil engineering is Habitat 67.
The knowledge of building and construction is imperative as it encompasses other skills as well. It includes the utmost knowledge of methods, tools and materials applied in the construction and maintenance of structures and buildings. The competency is critical because it inculcates imperative engineering perspectives involved in electrical practice. For instance, most electric
Born in a civil engineer family, being a civil engineer seems to be something deem to do for me. Starting from a little child, I went to construction sites with my mother, played with piled up framing plans and detailed drawings, and summed up the construction costs by a calculator. Every time I passed my high school with my mother, she pointed to a tall building and introduced to me, proudly, “Look, this is built by me, but I bet never notice the color of that brick is wrong.”. When I looked up, trying to figure out the wrong brick among sophisticated pattern but failed, I started to think that being a civil engineer is really a cool thing.
Engineering is a very traditional subject , contain high quality technology and strong practice.It is based on design, calculation, imagination, ability of judgment, theoretical knowledge and so on.The sufficient patient and good teamwork is the key to the core,which can help solve the complex problem in engineering.Furthermore,engineering is the past and future of human with the world development,create a safety society and living environment push people towards the future that
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.
I have diligently worked on all these projects to attain something new in Structural & Earthquake Engineering. Currently, all that is on my mind is Structural Engineering, and finding a new strategy to increase Structures’ capacity and their stability under different conditions. To improve their seismic performance, to decrease their damages when they are subjected to natural disasters, to decrease the cost of their damages, and their construction, to reach the most effective approach to construct, maintain and rehabilitate different structures, I have so much on my mind, so much to experience, and numerous approaches to try; A complete list of my research interests is enumerated on my
Engineers need to make sure that skills and attitudes listed above are part of their work. For example, according to the report, costly researches on bridge condition are undertaken whenever necessary but sometimes their result are overlooked and never given their due consideration. Unfortunately, the report failed to show clearly attitudes engineers need to develop in order to make their work successful and avoid failures.
Ever looked at a building and thought to yourself “Wow, that looks amazing”, perhaps you have wanted to help, or even create something like that or better. If so, you may want to try and be a construction engineer. Construction engineers deal with planning, construction management, and many more important things. When looking for a career in construction engineering, you must look for a good school in which to get the proper education and training for a career in construction engineering; you may want to considered choosing Texas Tech University as your school.
The profession of civil engineering dates back to ancient Egyptian times, and at that time, the words civil engineer and architect were used interchangeably, meaning that the words meant the same and were used the same. Obviously, in today’s world, those two jobs are totally different from each other. The earliest practice of civil engineering or architecture was during ancient Egypt, building simple shelters. During that time, the first documented engineer was Imhotep in 2550 BC. He built the step pyramid for King Djoser and he famously discovered the art of building with shaped stones (The Civil Engg). Other ancient constructions include the Pantheon, the Great Wall of China, and irrigation structures. All of these structures used some types of civil engineering one way or another whether it was designing the structure or actually building it. To some, civil engineering is considered to be the first main discipline of engineering. During the 18th-20th century, many new advances in engineering in general lead to many advancements in civil engineering. This includes the first college to offer civil engineering training which was Norwich University. Norwich was the first of many colleges to give a degree in civil engineering and after this, the number of colleges who offered this degree increased tremendously over the next few years. In modern times, the computer program of CAD of the best contributor to civil engineering as it allows efficient designing of the many complex
The first private college to tech civil engineering was Norwich University. Civil engineers do a lot more than design and build buildings; bridges. They can also be found in the aerospace industry designing jetliners and space stations, the automotive industry, power stations or where ever constructed factories or industries are located.
Construction is a very vital stage in execution of civil engineering structures of any type, as much important as it is, it must not be trivialised as wrong
1.1 In the first career episode, I will describe my annual project during the fourth year of my engineering study at the University of Aleppo, Syria.
My training with J.K. Lakshmi Cement Limited is truly a rewarding and knowledgeable one. At the end it has served the purpose for which it has been designed by making me well acquainted with the practices,
