“If you focus on the design, you can call yourself a Designer and if you focus on the implementation of your design, you can call yourself as an Architect.” - Cameron Sinclair Architecture for me is an art of designing buildings and creating a space that can change the way of living. I belong to a place where Architecture was just a word for over a decade as compared to the present conditions. Being a small town boy, whenever I used to go out for vacations to visit my relatives in Mumbai (India), I was always mesmerized and fascinated with tall buildings, glass facades and their shapes. Since I was always good at creative thinking, I felt closure to building forms and their architecture. I wandered what I could do if I 'm handed the magic wand and asked to design a masterpiece, which inspired me to choose architecture as my course.
I faced challenges adjusting into diverse student community from across India and heavy coursework but the contentment of learning fundamentals of chemical engineering from some of the best faculty of India acted as an anchor amidst all the confusion. To comprehend these fundamentals I took up industrial training for a duration of two months in \textbf{Vizag steel plant} a public sector company. During this training, I saw discrete peices of knowledge I obtained till then fit together like cogs in a wheel to ensure smooth operation of plant. This experience reinvigorated my interest for the field of chemical engineering. For my final year thesis I worked with \textbf{Prof.R.C.Sastry} on a project \textsl{'Production of Polyethylene Terephthalate'} : designing a pilot plant for PET prodcution from scratch.
Our company would often suffer losses due to poor management practices. The undergraduate program in Civil Engineering has provided me with ample technical skills in construction particularly in the areas of structural designing, fluid mechanics, surveying, construction techniques, construction materials and machines, which might help me troubleshoot the technical errors that arise on site. However, the issues involved in the management of Man, Machine, Money and Material, can be overcome effectively only with a thorough knowledge of management concepts. In my 6th semester, I was introduced to project management through the course “Project Management & Engineering Economics”, which convinced me about the necessity to study this field in depth before starting a career in construction
As a child, I always used to wonder where my father would disappear every morning. One morning, after a lot of hue and cry, I managed to go with him to his workplace. My father is a civil engineer by profession and it was a construction site. I was amazed to see how putting together of mere bricks transformed into a wall, how a “huge rolling bucket” transformed cement and stones into a paste like mixture and how this mixture eventually took shape into beams and columns. From that day onward, Civil engineering has never stopped fascinating me.
An insatiable thirst therefore pushed me to take Engineering as a career path after my high school education where I have developed a good understanding of various concepts in electronics. Nevertheless, this is an era of ‘change’ wherein each new day sees a spate of new challenges and technologies, in order to achieve my career goals of integrating theory and practice, keeping up with the cutting edge of technologies and to provide the fruits of my research to the people of the nation, I decided that pursuing Master’s program would be the best way to realize my goals.
An architect can be paid to design anything that can be built over the earth such as shopping malls , complexes, flats, buildings, football stadiums etc. An architect forms the most important part of any huge construction company where he gives the client and also the company information and idea about the area to select, ground level information etc, in simple terms he has to perform all background checks before construction. These people often join hands with people in some matching occupations to work with such as planners, interior designers, civil engineers etc. Eligibility: To appear in any of the entrance examination of undergraduate engineering courses, it becomes compulsory that the student must have passed the higher secondary school certificate examinations with the subjects specialized in Physics, Chemistry & Maths.
This incident motivated me to opt for civil engineering and ensure safety by more detailed approaches to design and analysis of structures. But in order to do so ,I require a more specialized education in structural engineering. I believe that a graduate course in structural engineering from university would is a stepping stone towards my goal. Being the son of a civil contractor who is running a construction company for past 17 years, the exposure to civil engineering was available to me from my childhood. I used to visit projects and witnessed machines, tools and Tall Structures and it fascinated me to choose this career.
1, 2 Growing up in India, I was surrounded by a juxtaposition numerous elements of architectural style that inspired me and brought me onto the path of studying and designing architecture. India once boasted of a developed ancient architecture, while its modern architecture loses the characteristics of its indigenous culture. I hope to form a sort of architectural design conception with characteristics of India's traditional culture after extensively absorbing modern architectural theories and technologies. The economic situation is unstable, but there are still many ways of applying design to achieve practical needs. 3, 4, 5 My memory loops back to the anxiety and thrill of a review, to defend your design process at the risk of bad reception
In the last day of application, I passed the requirements for the scholarship examination. I was surprised when I saw the result that I bagged the top spot. Civil engineering is a broad realm that can be divided into several technical specialties. Out of these specialties, structural engineering sub-discipline caught my interest. Even though mathematics is an essential subject to an engineering student, I gave more attention to structural
Those perspectives will let me have a clearer idea about the limitations of my own country and possible improvements that we can make. So far my undergraduate program in civil engineering has equipped me with a solid academic foundation. In addition to that, English proficiency, plus my strong motivation, those are two major factors that will ensure my success in my proposed program. As Bangladesh’s economic evolution gathers increasing momentum, a new wave of enormous construction will hit the nation in the near future as urbanization has become a national policy. This situation creates a great opportunity for the emerging generation of civil engineers.
