MS Chemical Engineering Personal Purpose Statement

MS Chemical Engineering Personal Purpose Statement

Moving from China to America was a decision I made to seek the best possible education in chemical engineering. Indeed, ____'s reputation extends to China and stands out amidst the myriad of other universities. ____'s connections with renowned institutions like MIT, Caltech, and Carnegie Mellon guarantee an unparalleled educational experience and a dedication to academic excellence. More importantly, ____'s success in placing 98% of its graduates into relevant careers within three months of graduation is truly inspiring. I hope my academic journey with ____ will continue; to realize my future aspirations, I plan to pursue a Ph.D. program at ____ as well.

Theodore Von Karman once said, “The scientist explores what is; the engineer creates what has not been.” Von Karman's words motivate me to become the best Chemical Engineer I can be. I have established personal standards for conducting myself with discipline, persistence, and hard work in all my endeavors. I possess an inquisitive nature and relish challenges and mysteries. Committed to tackling the intellectual challenges of Chemical Engineering, I have dedicated myself to this field. While biochemistry and analytical chemistry were potential paths for my academics and career, they are not as aligned with current trends, nor would they provide the same level of professional or personal fulfillment. The field is becoming increasingly significant in its impact on daily life. Chemical Engineering aligns perfectly with my background, skills, and career aspirations. Nothing would bring me greater satisfaction than enhancing chemical technologies and creating new products that improve the quality of life for communities.

I appreciate how Chemical Engineering demands a broad range of interdisciplinary skills for success. My academic achievements demonstrate a strong foundation in Math, Calculus, and Physics, which will greatly assist me in understanding and applying core concepts such as reaction engineering, kinetics, thermodynamics, process mathematics, and thermodynamics.

Receiving the Silver Trophy in Chemical Engineering Design from the China National Chemical Engineering Association reflects the extensive work and understanding required in designing a production chain. During the design and planning process, I had to consider factors not usually addressed by emerging chemical engineers, such as economics and reducing overall project costs. Simultaneously, I showcased my time management skills by meeting all my academic obligations and achieving an excellent GPA.

I have much to contribute to ____’s program, having developed a high level of cultural competency. Engineers never work in isolation and must rely on their multidisciplinary teamwork experiences and interpersonal skills to achieve their objectives. My cultural experiences in China and America have equipped me to effectively collaborate with scientists from diverse backgrounds. I bring a global perspective shaped by being born and raised in China and further refined by viewing China from an American perspective; this has changed my outlook permanently. On a practical level, I have demonstrated proficiency not only in Chinese but also in English, achieving perfect scores on the math section of the GRE.

The field of Chemical Engineering offers countless opportunities, and standing within it, one cannot see its boundaries. Through an academic relationship with ____, I will be on the path to expanding this field even further. I look forward to the chance to develop myself as a creative leader in Chemical Engineering. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I eagerly anticipate a personal interview.
