Hii, anyone heading to UIUC for MS or PhD structures specialization?
-
hi everyone, did anyone got into MS/PhD in structural engineering program? any news on funding
-
I'm still waiting to hear from UIUC, UCB, and Stanford. I don't have much hope left at this point.
Berkeley result is out. Rejected as expected
-
any news from UCB, UIUC, Purdue, Georgia or TAMU. for MS international students

Did any international student got acceptance from UCSD, Structural Eng masters.

Hi, .
I got an admit from cornell for MS/PhD in structural engineering for fall 2013. I m not really sure about PhD seeing the cost of expenditure and all. What if i want to leave after completing MS, will that be an option or the program is integrated . The website is not clear abt the MS/PhD program funda.

Hey, i have a confusion about the MS/PhD program of cornell university.

Lead author of journal written on this project in “computer methods in applied mechanics and engineering”. http://www.journals.elsevier.com/compute...ineering/. The paper is currently under review.
2. Project in IIT Delhi on 2D analysis of rigid and flexible water tank sloshing using finite elements, CEL analysis method in Abaqus/CAE..
3. Project in IIT-Delhi on parametric study of storage tank under seismic base excitation using Abaqus/CAE. Currently preparing journal on this topic as lead author of the paper.
4. Project in DCE on study of earthquake responses envelopes of MDF steel building for a given earthquake data and variable angle of attack, using MATLAB as computational tool and optimizing the structure which was earlier designed using STAAD Pro. (it was actually work of Prof of UCB, i modified to include more parameters and did it using different software i.e. MATLAB)
5. Winter training at Marg Limited- sites assigned were MES-RR Hospital, Dhaula Kuan & NBCC- Pravasi Bharatiya Kendra , Chanakyapuri.

If you want to go to a good school in the US, work on your English. It is very important to be able to communicate effectively.
i appreciate ur suggestion but for now my academic profile is more important.

Are you at the IIT? If not, obviously you'll face competition from lots of IITians with credentials similar to yours.
Anyway, at this stage the reputation of your college doesn't matter that much as long as it's an accredited college. What matters is that you should present some research papers at conferences, perhaps publish one or two papers in international refereed journals and get some research or internship experience.
Moreover, your research area should match with that of a professor at the university where you are applying. There are two ways of ensuring this - either you decide about a research area of your choice that has potential for growth and find a professor who works in that area, or you survey what kind of research areas the UCB professors are engaged in - if you have set your heart at UCB - and develop your research area to match the research interests of one of these professors you want to work with.
Since you are coming from India, I presume that funding will also be an issue for you. Certain research areas have more funding than others and some professors have more funded projects than others at any point of time. You should also look into this - if funding is an issue for you that is.
Good luck for your US venture.
Thanks for ur reply.
NO i m not from IITs, my college is Delhi Technological University (formaly known as Delhi College of Engineering).
One more thing i have lot of experience of working on live projects which are like one of a kind in india, so will this count.
When i talked to profs of IIT for research paper they replied that it is required if one is applying for PhD.
Well roughly what number of papers are required i mean i have like just 6 months left to apply to universities.
I also thought doing like ur way, i have made a list of 4-5 prof and their areas of research and i m studying text on that, with the hope to get something hardcore published on it.

hi, today i gave gre, my gre score is 1360 (800 quant and 560 verbal) .. waiting for the awa report... i dont know whether its gud or bad. I m applying for MS in civil engineering (structures preferably) and my dream university is UCB.
currently i m in 3rd year in a very gud college in india, its like among the top 10 colleges of the country and my departmental rank is 3, so as far as academics are concerned i m pretty gud at it.
I have worked on 3 live project worth million dollars each with internationally renowned companies. As such i dont have any research experience, i m working on it.
So can u guys guide me what source of projects should i do or what more i require to make my profile gud becoz i m aiming for very gud universities esp UCB.
