Personal statement civil
engineering

Inspired by unique art and design concepts of infrastructures, motivated me to become a
architecture and designer in my career. This is the reason which push me to choose civil engineering
as my career field. I am from XYZ college and learning civil engineering in my graduation. I
gained interest about infrastructures from building my a dog house for my puppy and repairing my
own bi-cycle. Also, designing is all about building or creating something which leads to new
innovation or invention. Further, this concept was more than building of something as it includes
practical knowledge & skills and I was enthusiastic about gaining new knowledge in field of
designing, calculations as well as geology. As individually I analysed that I am good in making and
building new concepts & it is my passion. I examined that my habitual in solving people's problem
increases my interest in designing as well as engineering. As a determined individual, I am eager to
solve such complications methodically and logically. I enjoy dealing with mathematical problems
and embracing challenges & so this topic appeals to me most.
The field of engineering is all about practical knowledge, testing skills, solving and
managing problems related to complex procedures. This encourages me to develop my interest
regarding mathematics &trigonometry. I always visited infrastructure trade shows which held in UK
where I met with many upcoming new architectures as well as professionals who have achieved
success in the field. Furthermore, I am always active about market so that I gain knowledge about
new trends of modern infrastructure. I too worked as a volunteer with many start-ups such as with
Captify in developing of their management infrastructure. My main motive and goals in my life is
to become Charted civil engineer. The rationale is that engineers are responsible for developing &
creating a change in society. My mathematical understanding of physics is improved by selecting
the Mechanics subjects. I engaged greatly with the simple harmonic motions topic, more
specifically how resonance can affect bridges. Moreover, the developed change changes the
thinking of society as well. During this field, I have developed my skills & abilities such as critical
thinking, communication skills and multi tasking capabilities. With keen interest in creating a
change, I am able to face new challenges, issues in my career. I strongly believes that with my
expandable knowledge, I am a quick learner who is always ready to take the risk any time and learn
from mistakes quickly. My confidence level has been increased up to higher range which i use it in
my field to deal with different kinds of people. Another reason for choosing field is that work is
carried out with logical reasoning not with virtual thinking. Through this field, I use my skills at
larger and proper manner. I too have improved my metamathematical knowledge which is I can use
in my future career. With critical research analysis, I remain aware about changes which occurs in
market.
