My Study Plan for Studies in China at Tongji Studies University

Study Plan
Academic Background: I have completed my B.Sc. (4 Years) in Civil Engineering from Uttara
University, Bangladesh with an outstanding result (CGPA 3.97 in a scale of 4). I was a diligent and
studious student among others during my undergraduate studies, very often involved in many
curricular and co-curricular activities like Mechanics Olympiad, Drafting Contest, Bazar Master, Math
Olympiad, Poster presentation and so on. In fact, I was up to the mark and honored in the top first list
of 70 students in my undergraduate class. I am awarded Deans honor award and merit Scholarship
based on my academic results. I was also winner of Higher Secondary & Secondary Board
Scholarship for my excellent academic performance.

Research background and work experience: I did my final year thesis project on “Strength of Concrete
made with White and Gray Cement”. There were four members in my group and I rolled as a team
leader. In this project, I learned and researched the basic differences between white and gray cement,
their strength properties (Compressive and Tensile), effect curing period, mix ratio and effect of water
cement ratio on the brightness of concrete. While working on this project I found strong motivation in
myself towards graduate study and research in the area of Structural Engineering. I have a published
conference paper entitled with” Compressive strength of concrete made with white and gray cement”
in 4th International GCSTMR Congress 20-22 January, 2019 Dhaka Bangladesh as a corresponding
author. I also Submitted a paper on 'compressive and tensile strength of concrete made with white and
gray cement' in jordan journals for civil engineers which is under final review.

I am working as a lecturer at civil department in “The University of Comilla” Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh
since 1st November 2018.

Personality: In fact, I am socially active, optimistic, quite and tolerant person with friendly nature, a
good communicator indeed. I like motivation. Honesty is my strength. I seek new opportunities, culture
etc. I like to keep a keen view to the reality of life thus approach people with positive mind and attitude
and always prove to be helpful with honest efforts and true dedication. Besides that, I always feel very
joyous and fortunate to meet and greet people belonging to different backgrounds and cultures.

Study Plan in China: Structural engineering underpins wealth creation; it provides a bedrock of
infrastructure that supports civilized living: homes for people to live in, places to work, and the life line
systems we all need [Allan Mann, 2011]. Not only facilitating accommodation but also ensuring a
healthy and sound life, the contribution of structural engineer can’t be denied. In order to be a part of
modern structural advancement I have planned to shape my career in the field of Structural
Engineering. I want to have my Master's Degree in Structural Engineering at Tongji University in China
because from my current Civil Engineering knowledge, past internship final year thesis project and
from current professional experience, I come to know the vast practical applications of Structural
Engineering, this caught my attention and created a thirst of knowledge in me to study my chosen
course. Therefore, I would like to gain deeper theoretical and practical knowledge in starting and
managing most innovative projects. During my studies, I hope that I will be able to cope up with the
best of everything; to accompany the professors and university colleagues in carrying out research
and exploring something new really necessary in my field with great hidden abilities in myself. After
completing my master’s and PhD studies I want to maximize my country’s research technology in this
field to benefit its economy and enhance the living standards of my compatriots. I believe that this
Master’s Program will provide me with the chance of knowing RC Structures, Steel-concrete
Composite Structures, Earthquake Resistance of Engineering Structures etc. I hope that I can gain
more experience in dealing with situations, peoples, systems and demands which will be of a great
help in my future career.

Reason behind choosing China: From my childhood I had an extra passion towards china and its
people for their natural intelligence. As a civil engineering graduate, I have seen most of the
challenging construction project in my countries is under Chinese companies. Not only Bangladesh
but also the world technology and economy is under the control of china. I am also impressed by the
way the people of china have proved themselves to be dedicated to their work and with true efforts
they have set China as a successful example for other third world or developed countries. The fast
growing economy, technological advancement and the global ranking education institutes of China
with high reputation makes a great aspiration of mine for my better career perspectives. Moreover,
China’s diverse cultural norms and values, the famous gentle hospitality of its people and Bangladesh-
China all weather friendly relations since past to promote bilateral trade, acceptance and peace to
both sides in great clarity make me feel China as my second homeland. My family fully supports my
choice for China being my preference for graduate studies also. All these reasons put together make
China an ideal place for me to do my Master’s degree. In Conclusion, I believe this application will
receive your favorable consideration and I will be given chance to gain my higher Studies in China at
Tongji University.
