From the Texas A&M Universitys Zachry Department of Civil Engineering website, I found out
about the impressive research work being carried out by the faculty in various fields of
Geotechnical Engineering. I am particularly interested in Dr El Naggars research on
understanding behavior of buried infrastructure, as I am involved in underground construction
project. It would be an honor for me to work in similar challenging project under your
universitys distinguished faculty.
The years of work experience I have in both design and construction field have improved my
management skills, and my ability to understand complex technical details and think critically. I
am confident that this coupled with the masters degree in Structural Engineering from one of the
prestigious institutes in India has prepared me well for graduate program in Civil Engineering at
Dalhousie University.
I bring with me the years of experience which have reinforced the fundamentals of Civil
Engineering in me, the ability to teach and work with others, and the desire to learn as much as
possible from the distinguished faculty and the diverse student community. Lastly, I look forward
to build strong professional links during my graduate program.
My ultimate goal is to obtain doctoral degree and follow up with a career in research and
teaching at a university. I wish to make significant contributions in the field of Geotechnical
Engineering by carrying out relevant research in the critical areas of this field. I believe doing
masters degree in Dalhousie University will help me achieve this goal. I hope that my work
experience and academic qualifications makes me a suitable candidate to join Dalhousie
University. Thank you for your time and consideration.
