Structural Engineering Purpose Statement

Statement of Purpose
In today’s era of rapid infrastructure development in India, civil engineering will play a major role in changing the face of Indian panorama. Structural engineering is heart of civil engineering, the knowledge and technical skills of structural engineers to make architects vision work and turn their creativity into reality excites me. The Bhuj earthquake in 2001 killed 20,023 people, injured another 167,000 and destroyed nearly 400,000 homes. As buildings were designed for gravity loads only there was a need to design sustainable structures with seismic loads by structural engineers. 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. On innumerable occasions I have observed that building structures are some of the greatest forms of legacies a person can leave behind. They capture the eminent qualities of a generation and stand for everything that is

    Comparison between the Trinity Church and the Massachusetts State House Architecture refers to the process of planning, designing and construction of various structures such as building. The works of architecture can be seen as the cultural symbols as well as art-works. There are many historic civilizations and are mostly identified with the ability to survive the architectural achievements. History of Architecture Architecture has been in existence for a long period of time. Through the history of architecture, one is able to trace the changes that have occurred in architecture (Dowing 2012).

    Do you ever just stop and think about the architectures that surround you every day? Maybe about how they were made, or what the inspiration was behind building them? People are often not aware of how the buildings came to be, they just care that it is there now. When you stop to think about the historical descriptions of how the buildings were made, you start to realize why the construction of these buildings are the way they are. Men like Vanderbilt, Carnegie, and Rockefeller constructed these structures to serve a purpose for others around them.

    Construction projects are all around us, whether it be your house, or the building you work at, even canals and statues are construction projects. Each construction project has a purpose, a meaning behind everything. Take the Panama Canal for instance, it was made for ships to get to get from one ocean to another without the trouble of going around South America. Also, take Easter Island’s one and only moai, a structure of art that puzzled millions to this day not know how or why the ancient people of Easter Island made these structures. As you can see, these 2 very different structures, but at the same time they are very similar to each other in some sort of way.

    A professional engineer should always consider the public’s safety and welfare when performing engineering work. It is imperative for an engineer to be a professional because their work can affect the lives of many people. The Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) implemented rules to keep the public interest and trust. A document from the PEO states that “… rules are developed in response to the public’s reliance on professional engineers to ensure that the infrastructure, technology and consumer products on which society depends are both safe and do not negatively affect our way of life.” [1] Thus, a professional engineer that is licenced by the PEO should view public safety and welfare as of great importance and make sure that their work

    I had first formal exposure to civil engineering in course “Architecture 1”. This course provided me the fundamental concepts of civil architectural principles such as designing procedure, architectural component’s layouts, functional spaces as well as environmental impacts. To strengthen my concepts I pursued the courses “Strength of Materials”, “Structural Mechanics” which gave me essential knowledge about the external and internal forces occuring in simple structural elements under action of various types of loading as well as fundamental concepts in structural analysis such as modellisation, classification of structures. I gained valuable exposure to the analysis of simple structures submitted to compound loadings by the application of the principle of superposition for such cases as: unsymmetric bending, combined bending and tension or compression, combined bending and torsion, general compound loading. Futhermore, I was fascinated by the force method and displacement method for analysis of statically and kinetically indeterminate structures.
