Naval Architecture Personal Statement

808 Words4 Pages

I am interested in the field of physical oceanography and hydrodynamics in coastal environments such as river deltas, estuaries, and wetlands. I firmly believe that department of Oceanography and Coastal Sciences at Louisiana State University is one of the best places for me to fulfill my objectives, flourish intellectually, and making a significant contribution to research through my dissertation. My long-term career interests include academia, industrial R&D, and advanced coastal engineering.
I am from a small town in Bangladesh by the Bay of Bengal. A significant part of my life passed watching the waves, the way rows of them rose and eventually break down. Like all people in the coastal region, the bay has always been deeply related to my life, happiness, and sorrow. It is a vital part of the country’s economy and source of its most massive calamities also. Every year tropical storms devastate this coast, leaving endless suffering to the people. We also have problems regarding bank erosion and the effects of climate change. To work on improving the lives of people at the coast was the motivation behind my choice of undergraduate studies in Naval Architecture. …show more content…

The primary aim of the courses was to make me a naval architect, but at the same time, these courses gave me a window to think about the alternative application of the knowledge besides building ships and offshore platforms. This discipline, I believe, offers students a perfect blend of engineering, architecture, and oceanography. I had all the basic courses like physics, chemistry, advanced mathematics, mechanics of structure, motion and control, and fluid mechanics. My willingness to help our coastal people and the study track made me more inclined to

    The naval stores policy had affected the mercantile views in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and mercantilists’ views about the Northern Colonies had varied drastically for four decades, from 1690 to 1730, although almost all of mercantilists agreed with the importance of the economic unity in the empire. Child and Cary criticised severely the Northern Colonies as useless and harmful for the mother country in the early 1690s, when the naval stores policy was still negligible, whereas mercantilists in the early eighteenth century, such as Gee, and Defoe, argued the contribution of these colonies to the economic circulation in the British Atlantic world. In their views, in addition to the possibilities of the Northern Colonies

  • General Education Courses Are A Waste Of Time

    Personally, I am currently enrolled in a marine biology course simply because it was the only science class left to fulfill my requirement this semester. As an English major, I have no interest taking this class and I find myself struggling to comprehend information that I will never need to know for my future career. Similarly, in an article for her school newspaper titled “General Education Courses are a Waste of Time and Money,” student Alyssa Pracz discusses her experience with taking general education courses. She argues, “The fact is that most students don 't approach these courses with the same sort of devotion as they do with classes they see as being useful. Professors, however, tend to teach the material as if everyone taking the class is planning on majoring in the subject” (Pracz).

  • World War 1 Essay

    World War I is often associated with trench Warfare and battles on the land, with very little thought given to the importance of naval warfare. Beginning with the Anglo-German Naval Race (1898-1912), Germany began building up their High Seas Fleet to challenge the Grand Fleet (“Anglo-German Naval Race”). Britain had been the World’s only international naval superpower for well over 100 years until Germany decided to challenge their dominance. Shortly after the start of World War I, the Anglo-French Naval Convention (1914) was signed, which greatly shaped Allied naval strategy. In 1914, Britain put a distant blockade on Germany, which allowed them to control exits from the North Sea and damaged both Germany’s economy and War effort (Roskill 4: 533).
