Civil Engineering
Q1: Tell me something about yourself / what do you think are your special qualifications for this subject?
I am a person who is always willing to accept challenges and I look for solutions from information or through my observations. However, I seldom work out solutions theoretically. On the other hand, I prefer illustrating my thoughts tangibly. For instance, I had tried to build a bridge which was made by papers in a competition organized by my own school. Also, I had joined a course which promotes the efficiency of solar panel by designing and constructing a cooling system. By illustrating my ideas practically, I can enjoy a great sense of fulfillment. Moreover, at my leisure time, I usually watch some documentaries from Discovery Channel and History Channel which talk about the design of famous buildings. One of those fantastic masterpieces that catches most of my attention is the design of Burj Khalifa which is a new structural system called the buttressed core. The ideas from those engineers inspire me a lot. So I have to say that I am a person who is always thirst for knowledge. (The Y-shaped plan is ideal for residential and hotel uses, with the wings allowing maximum outward views and inward natural light. To support the unprecedented height of the building, the engineers developed a new structural system called the buttressed core, which is consists of a hexagonal core reinforced by three buttresses that form the 'Y' shape.)
Q2: What makes you apply for this subject? There are three main factors determining my choice for your subject.
The most contributing factor is the effect arising from my family members. Both of my father and my brother work in the field of civil engineering. That is why I once wanted to be a civil engineer when I was still young. In other words, being a civil engineer is my dream.
Another reason is that the requirements of this subject seem to match quite a lot with my personality. As I have mentioned
