Statement of Purpose (Structural Engineering) <br>
A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simpl <br>
e combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over a long <br>
spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the t <br>
russ further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge i <br>
n a textbook for my first engineering class. <br>
Knowing that the professor, Mr. John Doe, was a tough teacher, I asked h <br>
im for the textbook so I could study and get ready for the class over the su <br>
mmer. Just arrived from Belize, I was determined to succeed. In class we lea <br>
rned about forces on simple members and then we put the members together to <br>
form a simple truss. At this point I had almost decided that structural engi <br>
neering was the career for me. From there the class just took off: We went o <br>
n to frames, distributed loads, considered friction; basically we were incor <br>
porating real world considerations into structural members. I loved the prac <br>
tical, problem solving aspects of the field. <br>
At UC my classes were even more advanced. In my analysis and design clas <br>
ses, I especially enjoyed studying steel design because we not only learned <br>
the use of the load resistance factor design but also applied that knowledge <br>
- I designed a four-story building. The professor was a practicing engineer <br>
, and he always related the subject to real life steel structures he had eng <br>
ineered, for example, the SB Medical Center, an all steel building with a ba <br>
se isolated campus. This is the kind of project on which I would like to wor <br>
k, designing the structure and considering how the building will respond to <br>
ground motion. After two quarters of structural analysis, I had come as clos <br>
e as possible to analyzing real world structures. Looking back I realize, I <br>
had learned great tools for structural analysis, but my "tool box" was still <br>
inadequate. I lacked a very important tool: finite element analysis. Accord <br>
ing to my professor, finite element analysis has revolutionized structural a <br>
nalysis. <br>
Although I liked my classes, my internship experiences really confirmed <br>
my interest in structural engineering. While working at Caltrans as a studen <br>
t volunteer, I reviewed computer grading output for streets under constructi <br>
on. The computer suggested numbers for the road grading, and I had to plot t <br>
he numbers and make sure there were no abrupt grade changes so the water can <br>
drain off easily to the sides of the road. It was exciting to know that I w <br>
as the last checkpoint before the whole project went for approval. It was en <br>
joyable working on something real - Main Street - but I was somewhat disappo <br>
inted I did not have the chance to work on any structures. <br>
At UC I volunteered through the Student Research Program to work in the <br>
geotechnical library. I worked directly with a doctoral student and helped h <br>
im to develop a geotechnical data base for the local area. I interpreted the <br>
data Caltrans had collected and recorded it in a form accessible to the com <br>
puter and easy to read. It took hours to finish the job, but I enjoyed the p <br>
recision involved so I did not mind putting in the time. My supervisor like <br>
my work so much, he hired me to continue the project during the summer. Work <br>
ing on this project also showed me the importance of soils in determining bu <br>
ildings' responses to earthquakes and awakened my interest in the response o <br>
f skyscrapers to seismic stress and movement. <br>
At First Choice U, I plan to enroll in the structural engineering and ge <br>
omechanics program. In this program I hope to draw on my structural analysis <br>
and geotechnical research background as a foundation for studying more adva <br>
nced concepts. I am particularly interested in researching the ties between <br>
the structural engineering, geomechanics, and applied mechanics. I believe r <br>
esearch is necessary to acquire data and formulate theories, but it is just <br>
as important to know how to apply those theories and use that data in the re <br>
al world. I hope to be involved in some structurally related research at Fir <br>
st Choice U. I am particularly interested in two research facilities: The St <br>
ructures and Composites Laboratory and the Earthquake Engineering Center. <br>
After completing my degree in engineering and working on engineering pro <br>
jects, I know I want to design structures. That is what has fascinated me si <br>
nce I took Mr. Doe's class. I also know, however, that designing structures <br>
of a complexity that appeals to me requires "more tools in my toolbox." Thos <br>
e I can acquire only by continuing my education. To be competent and competi <br>
tive I will need a masters degree. After completing my degree, I would like <br>
to work for an American engineering consulting firm and engineer complex str <br>
uctures and tall buildings, perhaps focusing on the problems surrounding des <br>
igning for earthquakes. My long-term goals is to return to Belize and found <br>
my own engineering consulting firm there. <br>
Structural engineering will allow me to pursue a career where I can be c <br>
reatively involved in problem-solving and design functional structures, like <br>
the simple truss bridge that initially captivated me in Mr. Doe's class. My <br>
classes, work at Caltrans, and internship in geotechnical engineering have <br>
increased my knowledge of and interest in structural engineering since I fir <br>
st looked at the textbook shortly after my arrival in the U.S. A masters deg <br>
ree will give me the up-to-date tools and knowledge to be competitive and co <br>
mpetent. <br>
