Anybody? Thanks..

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Name : xxxxxx Applying For : M.S (Fall 2014) Department : Civil Engineering After having spent a good part of five years in the fascinating world of Civil Engineering, I stand at a point where I have to decide and shape my future so as to extend my knowledge and skills in this exciting field. At this juncture, I have two of the most critical decisions to take in my career - the correct choice of university to pursue a graduate degree and the specialization area. In the following few lines, I have fore grounded a few reasons that interested me in pursuing a graduate degree in “Civil Engineering” and from “XXXX Un iversity”. My choice of the graduate degree is based upon my passion, undergraduate field, understanding of the subject fundamentals, capabilities, and professional experience. I chose “XXXXX University” based off of the vast research in the field and the state-of-the-art laboratories which would help enhance my learning experience. I was drawn into civil engineering during my undergraduate study. I had the chance to explore different fields in it such as Structural, Geotechnical, Transportation, Environmental and Water resources. Having taken the courses from each of these fields, I realized that I had a very strong Interest in “Structural Engineering”. I found it challenging and practically satisfying combining the engineering principles, math and physics. My urge to explore deeper into structural engineering led me to take all of the available courses related to the area, such as ‘Strength of Materials”, “Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures”, and “Advanced Structural Design”. I worked diligently for four years to fully understand, and master the concept of these subjects only to be left wanting more. A month after my graduation, I was hired by “Srinidhi Projects Pvt Ltd”. A reputed construction management company in Hyderabad, India, as an “Assistant Engineer”. The company builds hi-end Gated Communities, Apartments and Commercial Edifices in strategic locations of the city. As an Assistant Engineer, I was assigned under the design department where I was exposed to the detailed design of the structures. During my time at Srinidhi, I learned a lot about the design of the specific parts of the buildings including the design of “Pre-stressed Concrete Beams and Floors”, “Seismic Load Isolation” and “Deep Foundation”. At the same time, I was also given various tasks such as Site Investigation, Monitoring and Tracking Activities, Resources Estimation, and Scheduling using Srinidhi Project Management software. Coupled with my undergraduate study and my tenure at Srinidhi, I have developed a substantial amount of interest in “Structural Engineering” and I believe that “XXXX University” would provide the ideal dream for my graduate studies and research work. I look forward to taking the classes “Advanced Mechanics of Materials”, “Advanced Concrete Design”, and “Advanced Steel Design”. I am aware that graduate study demands a sound academic background, industrial/professional work experience and a never-ending quest for knowledge. With my background and zeal for research, I am confident of meeting the high standards of the graduate program. I hope that my application for admission will be considered favorably. I am confident that given an opportunity, I will match the high standards set by the university and will contribute to the student community. Thanking you for the opportunity to express myself. Yours Obedient, xxxx
