Statement-of-Purpose (Preferably, a one page essay focusing on your career and research goals)Throughout my life, I have learned that the ultimate happiness is obtained not only by hard work and intelligence, but also by unlimited bravery in pursuing my own dreams. I enjoy teaching and volunteered for several years as a Math and Science teacher in my hometown. I was also a part of nongovernmental organization volunteer project which provides free clothing to the poor section of society and also used to give tuition in the University for my Batch & other behind batches. It is my overwhelming desire for learning, invention, and teaching that lead me to continue my education towards a Master degree in advanced chemical engineering. Specifically, I hope to contribute positively to future improvements to society through technological innovation. The unique environment and resources at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals is what I believe that help me to become a successful pioneer facing stiff global competition.
Having undergone a fruitful and productive curriculum during my undergraduate studies at University of Gezira, I have established a solid foundation in the fundamentals of Chemical Engineering. I have undertaken various courses which have introduced me to various theoretical concepts and methods which are widely used in chemical industry.
During this period I got an opportunity to visit various chemical industries. My visit to the plant control division of oil refinery kindled my interest in the usage of computers in chemical industries which led me to explore more applications of computers in chemical engineering. Consequently, as my final year project, I took up "Simulation of Crude Distillation Unit using HYSYS". This being my first foray into research work, it has been huge learning experience for me.
Inspiration and enthusiasm well up in me at work. I have gained professional experience by working two years as a field engineer at China National Logging Corporation(CNLC) Sudan branch, plus three months summer internship in Khartoum refining company(KRC), During this period I become completely familiar with oil industry from exploration to obtain products by participating in industrial training classes and providing technical proposals for some processes such as separation process. In addition, here I have learned how to work under time constraints, how to visualize abstract concepts, and apply concepts to industrial projects in real time. Having real work experiences, now I have a balanced view of my interests, potential contributions and priorities, which enables me to make a decision between pursuing a career in the industry or one in academia. I find the academic environment more appealing because of the high level of intellectual challenge and creativity associated with it as well as the opportunity it provides to follow my research interests in the field of chemical engineering.
Masters in advanced chemical engineering will equip me with the required technical skills; enhance my research, analytical and data collection ability while facilitating the goal for a change of career. The control of polymers materials and their entry into all areas of life such as industrial and food packaging, household products, pharmaceuticals, personal care, textiles, agriculture and others, result in a quantum leap in our present time. Hence, my aspiration to complete a master degree in chemical engineering with Polymer computer simulation & processing is my field of concentration. My future plans after finishing this program is to gain a good experience in the petrochemical industry in one of the leading companies. I have intent to be a part of petrochemical industry revolution in my country. Apart from Polymer processes, my other areas of interest in field of Chemical Engineering include thermodynamics, corrosion science, reaction engineering and process dynamics and control. Part of my ambition is gaining a PhD.
I plan to continue my education to Master level in an internationally reputable and high-ranking research university. In order to find the appropriate graduate program which can fulfill my educational goals and best match my research interests, I have perused different sources, and I have found Master program at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals and Dr. Ibnelwaleed Hussein & Dr. Basel Abu-Sharkh research group well suited to my interests. Chemical Engineering at the forefront of technology and its role in modern society becoming increasingly important, and Dr. Ibnelwaleed specialized in polymers. In addition, KFUPM is a comprehensive research university, committed towards meeting the dynamic needs of the astoundingly growing industry and ranked as the number one institute in Saudi Arabia. I have full confidence that my diligence, dedication, and genuine interest in learning coupled with the exceptional guidance I can receive in KFUPM will allow me to contribute to my fields of interest and get me a step closer to realizing my ultimate goal. I would greatly enjoy and appreciate the opportunity to do so at your institution.
