Study Plan

I have completed my undergraduate studies in Civil engineering from Sir Syed

University of Engineering and Technology, Pakistan, in April 2014, with a CGPA of 3.21
out of 4.00. I was an active somehow indulgent student among others during my
undergraduate studies, very often involved in many curricular and co-curricular
activities. I am attracted to civil engineering because I like the idea of helping to shape
the world around me to meet the demands of the future. I hope for a challenging career
which I will find personally rewarding and be able to feel that I have given something
back to the community. The world is forever growing and evolving, as is the demand
for new buildings and good infrastructure. The pressures of population growth and
global warming are ever increasing, and civil engineers can help play a major role in
designing more efficient structures, as well as planning projects in developing
countries.
Cities are continuing to expand and develop. Engineering provides the opportunity to
shape and manipulate the surrounding environment and inevitably the world in which
we live. This has ignited in me a great passion and desire to become a Civil Engineer.
Engineering is always changing and developing. I enjoy learning about new
advancements and technologies incorporated into design and construction. I very
much look forward to an exciting and fulfilling career in Civil Engineering where I can
engage in the diversity of engineering.
My bachelors degree in Civil Engineering has made me more aware of what sorts of
problems occur in the real world and how these problems are dealt with. My work
experience has required me to show good communication skills and leadership.
I did my final year project in Analysis and Design of Ground+17 stories Building using
ETABS and SAFE. The main theme of my project was to encompass the quantitative
analysis of structural elements of building i.e. slab, beam and column. I used SAFE to
analyze and design the foundation and ETABS for structural analysis of super structural
members. Design courses like basic and Advanced Design of Concrete Structures,
Design of Steel Structures and Analysis and Design for Wind and Earthquake Effects
equipped me with adequate tools to carry out Load Resistant factor Design and
Laboratory courses helped me consolidate my fundamentals and reinforce theoretical
back ground. I have also acquired 1 year valuable experience as Assistant Engineer in
RMC Construction Company (Inner Ring Road Project, Multan, Pakistan). This role

provided me the opportunity to work proactively within a team as well as gained a good
in-depth knowledge of the field.
Study Plan in China: I would like to apply for the Master's Degree in Structural
Engineering in China because from my current job experience, past internship and my
final year project I came to know the vast practical applications of the Structural
engineering, this caught my attention and created a thirst of knowledge in me to study
my chosen course. I hope that I can gain more experience in dealing with situations,
people, systems and demands which will be of a great help in my future career.
Reasons to study in China: To reach a conclusion, studying at a university in China is an
opportunity to succeed, to be original, to improve as well as give a new shape to my
current way of living. I am certain that I have every necessary skill in order to become
a name in the world of high class engineers. The prospect of studying in China excites
me, as it would mean learning and more importantly, living in a multi-cultural
atmosphere. China boasts some of the top universities and top students in the world,
and as the wise say, "To be the best, you have to beat the best. Moreover, Chinas
diverse cultural norms and values, the famous gentle hospitality of its people and
Pakistan-China all weather friendly relations since past to promote bilateral trade,
acceptance and peace to both sides in great clarity make me feel China as my second
homeland. Also, my family fully supports my choice for China being my preference for
Master studies. All these reasons put together make China an ideal place for me to do
my Masters degree.
