Statement of Purpose - Civil Engineering (SOP)

In this essay I outline my academic and extra-curricular accomplishments. Also discussed are my career objectives and the motivation to pursue the graduate program in Civil Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

The undergraduate curriculum in Chemical Engineering at IIT, Kharagpur, introduced me to a wide gamut of subjects, both in and outside the field. Various courses like Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Transport Phenomena have provided me with a strong footing in the theoretical concepts of Chemical Engineering.

It was the field of Environmental Technology which particularly captured my interest. The desire to delve deeper into this subject persuaded me to take elective courses in Industrial (Air) Pollution Control, Non-conventional Energy Engineering and Environmental Earth Sciences. While offering both depth and breadth across this field, these courses put into perspective the importance and relevance of Chemical Engineering and the application of its fundamentals to environment related problems. I came to realize that although traditionally Environmental Studies has been under the domain of Civil Engineering, the increasing complexity and magnitude of Environmental problems have resulted in a growing need for the services of disciplines other than Civil Engineering. 这是技术的环境，特别是技术的抓住了我的兴趣领域。深入研究这一问题的愿望说服我采取工业 (空气) 污染控制、 非常规能源工程和环境地球科学中的选修课程。同时在这一领域提供的深度和广度，这些课程放入角度来看它的基本应用和化学工程的相关性和重要性环境相关的问题。我终于了解到虽然传统上环境研究已经下的土木工程领域，不断增加的复杂性和环境问题的严重性已导致土木工程以外的其他学科的服务的需求日益增长。

During the eight week Summer Training at the Development Consultants Ltd.,I was assigned to the Cement Cell, where I received a detailed knowledge of the cement manufacturing processes. As an Industrial Intern, I was assigned a project on Cement Plant Design (1800 TPD), which encompassed Raw-Mix Design and Capacity Calculations for various equipment. Here, I got aquainted with the Pollution and Energy Conservation problems faced by the Cement Industry and devoted a significant portion of my project to the pollution abatement methods.

在夏季训练发展顾问有限公司八周，我被分配到该水泥的单元格，在我收到水泥制造过程的详细的知识。作为一个工业的实习生，我被派在水泥工厂设计项目 （1800 TPD），其中的各种设备包括原料混合设计和容量计算。在这里，我 aquainted 污染和节约能源问题面临的水泥行业和我的项目的很大一部分用于污染消减方法

My final year dissertation was on the Manufacture of Phosphoric acid from rock phosphate using Sulfuric acid (Design of 100 tpd Plant). This covered the design of Reactor, Extractor (for acid purification) and Evaporator (for acid concentration). As a natural outcome of my interest in Pollution control, adequate emphasis was provided to waste gases and waste water treatment which involved off-gas scrubbing (venturi design) and discharge method details, gypsum disposal methods, disposal of fluosilicic acid as waste material and the incorporation of all these in the Plant Layout/flow-sheet.

我的最后一年的论文是从使用硫酸 （100 tpd 厂设计） 的磷矿生产的磷酸酸。这包括反应堆、 榨汁机 (酸净化） 和蒸发器 （用于酸的浓度） 的设计。废物气体和废水处理所涉及的烟气净化 （文氏设计） 和撤销方法的详细信息、 石膏处理方法、 硅酸处置废物的材料和纳入所有提供的适当强调了作为我的兴趣在污染治理中的一个自然的结果，这些工厂布局/流-表中。

At IIT, Kharagpur, I have received the best possible undergraduate education in Chemical Engineering in India. Throughout, my scholastic records and achievements have been outstanding. I have consistently ranked in the top 2% of the students of my class, in school, and consider the high point of my achievements as being ranked in the top 1% of more than one lakh students who wrote the Joint Entrance Examination for admission to one of the six Indian Institutes of Technology.

在 IIT，克勒格布尔，我在印度化工收到最佳的本科教育。始终，我的学校记录和取得的成就非常突出。我始终有排名最高的 2%的学生，在学校，我班的被排在最高的 1%，超过一款学生写信给六个印度技术学院之一的联合入学考试入学的考虑我的成就的高点。

Throughout my school and undergraduate education, I have been a keen participant in extra-curricular activities. Getting elected as the School Pupil Leader ( Head Girl) helped me hone my organizational and interpersonal skills. At IIT, I have been involved in the Annual cultural Fest as Head of the Control Tent Team. I have also taken active part in dramatics and made my contribution to the Technology Dramatics Society (English chapter) at IIT, as its member and later as the Governor. I was also the member of the NSS at IIT where I had the opportunity to be involved in it's Literacy and Health & Nutrition Programs. I continue to be a member of the Helpage Society of India, which provides palliative care to the terminally ill cancer patients.

在我的学校和本科教育，我一直热衷参加课外活动。顺利当选为学校学生领袖 (头女) 帮我磨练我的组织和人际交往能力。在 IIT，我一直参与每年的文化巨星作为控制帐篷小组组长。我还积极参加演出，作为其成员，后来担任总督 IIT，技术做作社会 （英语章） 作出我的贡献。我也是在哪里有机会参与的素养和健康科技营养计划 IIT NSS 的成员。我继续助印度，提供姑息治疗末期癌症病人的社会成员。

The years of undergraduate education have been an enriching experience - both academically and otherwise, and I am determined to maintain the high levels of excellence throughout my career.

年本科教育了更丰富的体验-既优异成绩，否则为并决心维持高水平的整个职业生涯的卓越。

My immediate degree objective is an M.S in environmental engineering – a rapidly evolving field with an immense potential for research. I wish to follow it up with a Ph.D, to pursue a career in research and experience the excitement and satisfaction of being at the forefront of this vast expanding field.

我立即学位目标是学位环境工程 — — 迅速的领域与研究的巨大潜力。我希望可以跟博士，追求事业的研究和经验的激情和满足感： 这个广阔领域的最前列。

An extremely distinguished faculty, a milieu replete with academic activity, and a graduate program which blends high quality course work and research facilities at the cutting edge of every sub-field are the factors which have motivated me to choose the University of Massachusetts, Amherst for graduate studies. I believe the program offered will help me acquire the versatility needed to reach my full potential as an engineer.

非常杰出的教师、 环境充满学术活动与混合优质课程的研究生工作和研究设施处于前沿的每个部分都有促使我选择马萨诸塞州大学阿默斯特分校攻读硕士的因素。我相信，提供程序将帮助我获得我作为一名工程师的全部潜力所需的多功能性。

It would, therefore, be a privilege to be able to secure admission to pursue graduate studies, with adequate financial assistance at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I am confident that I will match the high standards set by your university.

它，因此，将很荣幸能够安全进入追求足够的财政援助，在马萨诸塞州的大学的研究生课程，阿默斯特。我有信心我将匹配你的大学所定的高标准。
