A Letter to myself!
Hi to myself!
Now that I am an Engineer with a certified degree, as an Engineer I aspire to do some wonderful
things for myself and society. As I studied the Civil Engineering and about the wonders that it
has created for the well being of the society and the world, it amused me and inpired me to
become an Engineer. I want to design the bridges, tunnels, skyscrappers and dams which
wouldn't fail and please to the eyes. In history we have seen the engineering disasters such as
the Tacoma Washington bridge disaster, in which the wind loads were ignored while designing.
We learned from such disasters and improved our bridge by incorporating the wind and other
loads such as earthquake loads. There has been a revolution in the Civil Engineering field since
the advent of the cement and reinforced concrete. Initially we could only design low strength
concrete but now with the help of the admixtures and air-entraining agents we can design a mix
of strength greater than 70 MPa.
Empire State Building was constructed in 1932 and remained the tallest skyscraper till 1967,
until we learn to create the taller structures. Now we know that Burj Khalifa is the tallest
standing structure in the world with a height almost double of that of Empire state building.
Empire state building is now at 9th in the ranking of the tallest structure. Similarl trends can be
observed in the design of the bridges, tunnels and dams.
What we learn from all this history is that, there is never a full stop to the impovement of the
design of the structures. In present world, we still have many problems, such as the
environmental issues related with the use and production of the cement, which is responsible for
the production of a large proportion of the green house gases. There is a need to find the better
alternative of the cement. We still can't construct the earthquake proof buildings, and there
always will be a need for improvement in this field. More than one million people die each year
in the road crashes, many of which occur due to the poor design and construction, there is a need
of the better Intelligent Traffic Systems(ITS.)
I see that there is a lot to be improved in the current engineering field, so I will find the best
opportunity to serve my techniques and skills to work in any of the abovementioned fields.
Thank You!
