I have a tendency to forget things, for that reason my childhood friends used to taunt me calling ‘scientist’. I do not remember from when, this bully name has turned into my aim. I have completed my graduation from Shahjalal University of Science and Technology with a CGPA of 3.60 (on a scale of 4.00). I was among the top 5 students in my class. Though I was not always serious in the classroom, I always tried to be vigilant and active during each and every lab classes.
The growing demand for the production of such goods and the various constraints involved has motivated me to help provide the world with processes and techniques which are not only more efficient and affordable but also sustainable. The auxiliary motivators have been my interest for mathematics and my analytical ability. This is the goal that I set out with, and I believe that one of the toughest challenges in life is to make timely, well thought-out decisions that would aid in constant progression towards a goal. One such timely decision was the selection of Chemical engineering as my undergraduate stream of study which could pre...

Having a strong zeal towards Information System and Computer Programming, I have also learned different languages like C, C++, SQL and PL/SQL.
Steel: (for all intents and purposes) was invented in 1855 by Henry Bessemer(Mary Bellis). Science the amazing innovation that has changed the world incredible things have been made from the material from bridged cables and cross beams to arresting wires on aircraft carriers that stop monumental force and speed. It is truly an amazing martial, but eventually it snaps, breaks or tears due to the separation of the molecules. Also steel is not the most flexible material there is which may sound good for what it is used for, construction. You wouldn’t want the floor to shift from under but, what about in areas that have a consent threat of earthquakes having a material that is rigid when needed and flexible when needed would be an invaluable asset to construction companies in many countries. Also at $600-$900 per ton(Platts Mcgraw hill financial) it isn’t the most inexpensive material that could be chosen. Chemically is there a better material that could be used in the place of steel that is stronger more flexible and can be produced for a cheaper price than the normal steel that we use today? First, the choice of spider silk seems like a great choice. Mother nature seems to be the greatest designer of all made of different sections of proteins of extremely ridged and at the same time extremely elastic strings of proteins, that when braided together are 5 times stronger than steel and relatively free to produce as long as the spiders are kept healthy. What makes the proteins so strong? They are linked together almost like thousands of Lego’s linked together which by its self does not sound very strong, but just take 3 and pull length wise and try to pull them apart, it's almost impossible. The same concept is used in the spider's silk...
Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, information, and energy in the most efficient manner possible. Efficiency is one of an engineers major concerns. Being able to complete the job, solve the problem, and put the solution in process are all very important, but making the process efficient allows less waste and more profit. It draws upon specialized knowledge and skill in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences together with the principles and methods of engineering analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained from such systems. Their jobs are also concerned with performance, reliability, cost efficiency, quality control, plant design, and management of human resources.
The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) states that “the NNI is committed to the responsible development of nanotechnology as one of its four main goals, and as an important part of its environmental, health, and safety (EHS) research strategy. This includes sound, scientific assessment of nanotechnology’s benefits and risks, and an understanding of the potential EHS impacts of nanotechnology.” As we hear that the risks of nanotechnology are one of the main focuses relief may set in for most of us, however we must also remember to think of the ethical, legal, and societal flaws in the development of nanotechnology. The NNI informs us that researchers need to be sensitive when they introduce these new ideas to the public. They need to be able to grab the attention from all different groups of people. “How ethical, legal, and social issues are addressed will determine public trust and the future of innovation driven by nanotechnology,” says the NNI. They gathered a group of experts on ethical, legal, and societal issues. This group includes consumers, engineers, ethicists, manufacturers, nongovernmental organizations, regulators, and scientists. This group will provide their opinion on the issues that are involved with the production on new nanotechnology and the direction of their research. Members of the NNI will also
The developed world rarely pauses to think of the prevalent necessity of energy in our lives. As the global population nears 9 billion people in 2040 (1), we are not only challenged to provide for basic needs, but to also improve living standards worldwide. These challenges require a global energy increase of approximately 35% (1). The challenge may seem intimidating, but the human race has demonstrated an exceptional ability to overcome difficulties and progress. An important aspect to improve worldwide living standards involves the environment. The most important needs in many areas of the world are cleaner air and access to cleaner water. Nations need to continue to address risks associated with rising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Protecting the environment and preventing these increases pose technological challenges for us today as well as the generations of the future. To overcome these challenges it is going to be necessary for many engineers of many disciplines to be involved. However the most significant problem we face is to produce this energy in a sustainable manner. Achieving this sustainability is a matter of using processes that are less wasteful, developing technologies that are more efficient, and finding cleaner energy sources. My motivation for pursuing the MSc in Mechanical Engineering with a track of Sustainable Energy and Process Technology (SPET) is that I believe that this program will give me the skills, education, networks, and contact with industry necessary to be able to make a difference in the world’s constant search for increasingly sustainable energy sources. Additionally I have always found the concepts of process optimization to reduce generation of waste and contaminants, fluid mechanics, ther...
I have spent so much time learning about design through the paradigm of materials but now I want to connect mechanical aspects to the knowledge I have already gained. I am particularly interested in the research done by Dr. Drew Nelson, Dr. Sheri Sheppard and Dr. Friedrich Prinz whose work most closely fits my interests. I am interested in doing research in mechanical design as influenced by material usage. I am also looking forward to taking courses such as Imperfections in Crystalline Solids, The Magic of Materials and Manufacturing, and Nanomaterials Synthesis and Applications for Mechanical Engineers to explore topics I have already studied, but from a mechanical engineering perspective. Stanford’s combination of rigor and creativity appeal to me. I have always enjoyed a challenge and get great satisfaction from expanding my knowledge. Coming from a Materials Science and Engineering background where I have performed well, both in academics and leadership, I know I can be an asset to and learn from the world-class Mechanical Engineering program at
What exactly is a chemical engineer? Many would say that it is simply a "chemist who builds things" or an "engineer who makes chemicals. However, neither of these statements is completely true. The term "chemical engineer" is not meant to actually describe what it is a chemical engineer does, but to describe what sets it apart from the other branches of engineering: civil, mechanical, and electrical. On average, chemical engineers are numerically the smallest but also the highest paid. It is not a profession the must dwell on the past for comfort and support, for its greatest accomplishments are still yet to come.
Furthermore, upon commencing my studies at (name of university), I am optimistic to obtain a rewarding, although highly demanding, senior position at one of my country’s largest Electric-Industrial Enterprises and apply my accumulated knowledge to the advancement of my career and hopefully, the science as well.
