Graduate /
Why do you want to study abroad? Is this SoP ok for M.Sc. Pet. Engrg? [9]
Ok thank you.
I have made the correction, and included it with the whole body of the text.
"Engineers are team-leaders who know how to make the best use of their colleagues different abilities, which means they are both resourceful and practical, capable of taking risks and facing up to their responsibilities" Jean-Louis Beffa.
The greatest motivation for me in applying for the ME3 program is the opportunity it presents me to acquire the professional skills required to pilot complex engineering projects in the industry and solve environmental and energy issues through an integrated approach, taking into account human, social and economic challenges. In addition, the experience of being exposed to new cultures and to adapt different value systems and methodologies really appeals to me.
Over the years, I have demonstrated capacity and a unique ability to thrive in the midst of challenges. This is because I see potentials for learning in every situation I find myself. I believe this attitude would be of help particularly when real-life work challenges are presented and discussed. Until recently, oil prices reached a record high of about $147.00 on the back of rising demand for energy, especially from developing economies. Oil exploration and production has become more aggressive and more into the deep water regions offshore thereby making issues relating to pollution, its prevention and control more important. The pressure these activities exert on the environment and its impact on human life are now critical factors in carrying out these projects.
As a graduate of Petroleum Engineering, my undergraduate studies have exposed me to Oil Pollution and Control in addition to Petroleum Engineering concepts. My work experience in some oil companies has given me first hand experience and understanding of the importance of host communities and health, safety and environment issues. These experiences range from drilling, wireline operations and reservoir engineering. Exploration and Production projects are not just about how many barrels of oil that can be withdrawn from the reservoirs, but now include how the environment can be restored to as much as possible to its natural state and the people living normal lives.
I look forward to acquiring all the relevant skills necessary to providing global solutions and strategies to the issues of generating energy with minimal environmental impact and managing its demands through the ME3 Masters course.
