'It wasn't a quick decision' - SOP for a Master Degree in Chemical Engineering part-time

My decision to apply for master degree in chemical engineering was not a quick decision. It has been built over a long time of deep thinking and searching. An important reason that led me to apply for this program is the potency of the chemical engineering programs at KFUPM, both material and academic faculty. When I was in the intermediate school, I was interested in the science classes. I remembered that I used to do some of the easy experiments in my home after school.

One of the reasons that led me to choose chemical engineering as my major is the revolution in the chemical industry that we see these days. So, my desire to be a part of this revolution led me to take this decision. Also, working in oil stabilization and NGL plants these days has led me to take this decision of starting a master degree in chemical engineering in order to combine between field experience and academic knowledge that can be gained from educational facility such as KFUPM.

At King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, I have studied chemical engineering. Like any engineering field, chemical engineering requires good knowledge in mathematics, physics and chemistry. In my chemical engineering undergraduate program I have studied several courses such as thermodynamics, mass transfer, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, separation process, chemical reaction engineering, process dynamics and control and at the end of the program I took an integrated design course in which the chemical engineering background is applied. As elective courses I took chemical process technology and elective separation process course.

Separation processes have became vital processes in each industrial line around the world. They can be found almost every were in the industry. Examples of an important separation processes that are used today are, oil stabilization, refineries, sea water desalination, and chemical purification for petrochemical and pharmaceutical products. Hence, my aspiration to complete a master degree in chemical engineering with separation processes is my field of concentration.

After four months of working in stabilization plant, I found that using chemical engineering background is very useful in the daily activities. So, applying for master degree program will positively affect my career by enabling me to apply what I have learned with what I will learn from the advance courses and experience solving real problem.

It has been built over a long time and of deep thinking and searching. It was based on my background in Bachelor of Science degree in the same field. An important reason that led me to apply for this program is the potency of the chemical engineering programs at KFUPM in terms of programs -- both material resources and academic faculty. Also, working in oil ...

Thank you for your help Kevin. I want also to know what do you think for this SOP should I provide more details or keep it simple.

Thank you again for your help

Simple is good, but the idea is to keep each component simple so that you can convey many powerful ideas to the reader.

This essay is respectable and impressive. A way to improve it would be to make it enjoyable to read by adding a theme to intrigue the reader. You establish a theme at the start:

My decision to apply for master degree in chemical engineering was not a quick decision. It has been built over a long time and deep thinking and searching.

Take inspiration from this idea, and add some conclusion sentences to the ends of your paragraphs. Especially add to that last paragraph. Add sentences that mention how these things you did are part of a long process that brought you to a place of CERTAINTY and DETERMINATION.

Show how your enrollment in this school is based on a process of refinement -- the refinement of your ideas about how to involve yourself with meaningful work.

Thank you Kevin. I have corrected my SOP and I added what you have suggested. So, tell me what do you think about it. I appreciate your help.

I remembered that I used to do some of the easy experiments in my home after school. --- this is not a very powerful sentence. The last sentence of the paragraph should be a very meaningful one, because it lingers in the reader's mind.

ESPECIALLY the first paragraph.

So... think of a sentence that you want the reader to remember, and add it to the end of that first paragraph.
