Statement of Purpose Anyone can be an engineer with a degree, but a good engineer needs to be a motivated failure. As Zig Ziglar said, “Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.” I have failed before, but I did not stop there; nevertheless, I worked hard to make my dreams come alive as a good civil engineer. I have done the hard work, and I have succeeded in getting my bachelor degree in Civil Engineering from Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia after a long pedagogic journey. And yet, notwithstanding all that hard work, I am still not an excellent engineer I know I could become in the future. I am still full of the urge to reach my full potential, as a consequence, I want to step the next step. Consequently, I am honored to apply…
Statement of Purpose 1: Biomedical My childhood dreams of working in medicine hit a roadblock when my clinical experiences in high school revealed that a hospital setting is not for me. Biomedical engineering, however, offers a different route to impacting the healthcare world, perhaps in an even more influential way. Growing up in a very health oriented family with minimal serious medical history, I was saddened by the reality that many other families are detrimentally impacted by chronic…

I will discuss the integration of virtues into ethics according to Aristotle as well as my development as a student at Texas A&M…
As evident within political influences, industrial relations can be affected by the policies of different governments. With the Howard government, ‘Work Choice’ created a biased platform where corporations would strongly benefit from economical gains while employees experienced unfair rights and working conditions. It is hence imperative that economical issues within industrial relations remain impartial where both employer and employee benefit equally. From the NSW Government Industrial…

opportunity to witness this from my mother’s pregnancy at the age of 19.

It is a career path that gives a holistic understanding of human life. Being able to see how the midwives took care of my mother and it became clear the midwives gave the overall care which was amazing to see. I also started to see how every…
the science and engineering workforce. The numbers show that men and women are equally intelligent, and capable of going to college and educating themselves, but only fourth of people working in science-oriented jobs are women. In modern day society, science and math are often seen as a jobs for men, and not women. Even though it is not talked about very much, the norm for women is stay home and raise the family, and if women have jobs, stereo-typically, they have jobs that don't involve…

The general standards for admissibility of evidence are that it must be relevant, contain a probative value, and must be free of prejudicial bias.

The probative value depends on satisfying the basic requirement of relevancy as described above, but also upon the existence of any matter of fact. For example, if…
