Civil Engineering is a professional Engineering field that deals with the construction, design, and maintenance of the built structures. The Civil Engineering field is broken up into 5 specific field’s water resources, structural, geotechnical, environmental, and transportation. The projects that Civil Engineers work on may be for the public or private sector. Even though Civil Engineers may have their own specialties, they still collaborate on projects together with other Civil Engineers…
Personal Statement Ive always had an interest in how things operate and work since I was young, and cars have always been one of my favorite interests. My interest in cars, particularly BMW’s, has developed throughout my time working with my father. Last year I took part in four automotive based competitions, working alongside my team mates to rebuild and engine, tune a performance system, and diagnose vehicles problems. This helped me to develop time management, problem- solving, and…
The CORPS Interest Inventory helped me define my career pathway based on my personal interests. It was a survey based questionnaire that asked many personality as well as interest questions. The results came out as, physical science with a 93% match and a science based career with medical involvement at 75%. All other careers matches at less than 40%. It was clear what I was interested in, which is science. For as long as I recall i have wanted to become a scientist and the CORPS interest…
I have applied for my chosen courses as I believe that they will aid me in my future aspirations. I have taken all three of my choices at a GCSE level already, and I thoroughly enjoy them. I would consider them to be some of my favourite subjects. I am in the top set for Physics and Design Technology (RM), and although there are no sets for geography, I believe that I am a high achiever. Geography has increased my awareness of the world around me, and how it works. Physics has challenged me with…
The reason for why I chose the topic I ended up pursuing with this project is from the love of biking and interest in this topic. Since a I got my first bike I have always had an interest in the technology of mechanics that goes into building and what happens when riding the bike. Since learning how to ride a bike I have went through many different bikes and countless hours learning and watching videos of people riding and building bikes. I have spent many hours riding my bike outside in my…
Growing up in Massachusetts I never considered attending a university in Iowa. But now, as my undergraduate education comes to a close, I find myself looking forward to unexplored territories. When I received a letter from the department of physics and astronomy chair, Dr. Frank Krennrich, informing me of the possibilities for graduate students at Iowa State I was compelled to explore this opportunity further. The programs at Iowa State are consistently highly ranked, especially those of complex…
accessible. Once I realized this, I started to develop an interest in transportation engineering. My undergraduate education at Iowa State University provided me with basic insight and knowledge about general Civil Engineering. Out of all of the specializations in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering has interested me the most. I would like to further develop my knowledge of transportation engineering, specifically traffic safety and efficiency, by pursuing a Master’s Degree at Iowa…
As you see above this is the computer design of a whistle that I am having printed. The original creator states that this whistle is, "a survival whistle that is a completely original design. I designed it to be rugged, easy to make and carry, have a great design and most importantly be very loud. It is designed to be able to get you noticed in all conditions." What is interesting about this whistle is that the designer (Joe Zisa) of the whistle created two separate chambers. Visa explains the…
I want to start off by saying that you are my spirit animal. You may get told that every day, but there is a chance that I am the first and that would be a great honour. Not only is that an honour, but it is an honour to get to talk to you. You are a wildly inspirational man that expresses how I truly think. I am on my school’s robotics team and even though we use mostly metal, I still value to role that woodworking has in America. Most of my team may see wood as being less efficient, but I…
it combines all of the things that fascinate me. My chosen career is a career that I can see myself doing happily. My plan is to get a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering then to continue my education to obtain a master’s degree. It is not bewildering that I would want to be a part of one of the best biomedical engineering programs in the nation. Finding an exceptional biomedical engineer program drew me towards my desired college. As a result, John Hopkins University, with their…
