美国留学环境工程专业个人陈述范文2篇
范文一
There was never any doubt that I would pick Environmental Science.
Studying at sixth form has made me realise that my favourite parts of each subject are based on the processes and sustainability of the environment. For my Product Design coursework, I was redesigning manufactured goods to be ‘greener’; making a lamp that was 80% more efficient and could also be broken down to be recycled. I prevailed in the organic module of AS Chemistry in which I learnt about the use of fossil fuels and pollutants. And in Maths, I concluded that the statistics module was the most rewarding because it showed me how the subject is integrated into almost everything; I was using methods from my statistics class to help me with my Geography coursework, in which I surveyed a river environment and how humans influence it – I took pleasure in wading through a river and the great sense of fulfilment to draw a conclusion from information I had gathered and processed myself.
I feel that this course will satisfy my curiosity about the world around us, and hope it will lead me to a career that aims to find ways to use the world’s resources in a sustainable way.
I have not missed an opportunity to get involved with extra-curricular activities; as I was walking through school to head home after some particular activities, I was often greeted by teachers making statements such as, ‘Are you still here?’ but I kept coming back.
Being part of every girl’s team available, and captaining some select games, meant that I set aside a lot of time to the cause; but this was no chore, I love the social side of sports because everyone involved has so much enthusiasm, which they portray in such an energetic manner. I joined clubs out of school, representing the South Bucks hockey team in the Thames Valley games and playing in an under sixteen’s netball club let me meet many new people that I shared a common interest with. I also became part of a non-competitive hockey club for older hockey players, where the training was more vigorous and my team mates were a lot wiser – I often had to decline invitations to the pub, purely because I was too young - but the harder training routines improved my self discipline that lead me to having new skills.
For games such as netball and rounders it is essential to cooperate and follow instructions; you have to play your part in the game, doing this has not only taught me how to be part of a team, but how to lead one too. I am now part of the sports council, representing the sixth-form, we are currently working to encourage younger pupils to attend after school sports clubs and are organising a sports day for year seven. I also represent sixth form in the school council where we discuss how to make school a better environment for everybody; the latest proposal was to introduce paper recycling.
My school holds a summer awards evening every year for the lower school, I acquired awards for my work in various subjects and one for service, these made me feel like quite the specialist and encouraged me to put more effort in and lend a hand to others. I was made a prefect in year eleven and am now a senior student, I was very eager to help in the smooth running of the school to give back a little of what I have been given in extra-curricular time and resources. Last year I helped out in a year nine maths class once a week, I felt a sense of satisfaction when students were able to use concepts that I had explained to them. Also last year, when GCSEs were over, I started to teach myself guitar. Starting off, it took self-motivation to keep on learning as things got harder, and fingerprints started to wear off, but now I am part of a band and I know that it was undoubtedly worth the effort.
I have always loved learning new fields of knowledge and I am looking forward to exploring them in more depth at a higher level. I see university as an opportunity to utilise better facilities and expertise, and I understand that I must contribute all I can and rise to all the challenges put to me.
范文二
The tap water I drank for two years in England holds a hint of chlorine,
nevertheless, drinkable; its Swiss counterpart, crystal-clear and tastes divine. I have inhaled voraciously the air in Pullman, Washington, along with its scent of ripening wheat and temperate forests. I have swum into the Mediterranean Sea straight from the Barcelonata beach ten minutes away from downtown Barcelona. All the while travelling and studying aboard, I think about my home, China, about how none of these things can be done there. And the thought pains me.
Becoming an Environmental Engineer is not a mere whim resulted from my concerns for China’s pollution – it became a determination, when I spent a fruitful summer at Washington State University as a research student in Laboratory for Atmospheric Research. Under the guidance of Professor Serena Chung, Professor Brian Lamb and a doctoral student Rodrigo Gonzalez-Abraham, I conducted an analysis on the effect of wildfire
atmospheric emissions on regional air quality, using the current and future year simulations output by the WRF-SMOKE-CMAQ modeling framework. I discovered that wildfires account mainly for the particulate matters in the air, and that the increase in the precipitation in the future is likely to be responsible for a 60%-80% decrease in particulate matter’s concentrations. Not only have I improved my programming skill, data processing skill and the ability to
approach a task through my project, but also gained knowledge in the field of air monitoring and control through a series of “crash courses” equivalent to classes that an Environmental Engineering undergraduate would take. I
become enticed by the complexity and the interdisciplinarity of environmental modeling, and reaffirmed Environmental Engineering as my career path. At the time when several faculty members from the department were leaving for Tianjin, China for a project, and joked about the possibility of their accurate measuringequipments malfunctioning when operating in the megacity plagued by pollution, my heart sank, and instantly I knew that my best career option is to help converting the terrible situation.
As a Physics major and a Math minor, I make more efforts than a summer research to edge my way into Environmental Engineering. For senior year, I am taking a course entitled Water Quality and another one on Environmental Systems at Swarthmore College. In the former, I will work on a group project that aims to improve the pollution model of a local creek, developed by Professor AuthurMcGarity using Storm Water Management Model. If my schedule allows, the summer after my graduation will include taking basic engineering summer courses in preparation for graduate school. In addition, I
will be spending my fall break this year working at California Air Resources Board and learning how research results influence public policy making. In my one-month winter break, I will intern in the Bio-fuel research sector at the ENN Company, a Chinese energy company that plays a leading role in the development of oil extraction from algae cultures.
It took me a while to figure out that I want to use my specialty in the real world as an engineer. This is mainly because I am also fascinated with theories and abstract concepts that Physics and Mathematics offer. Immersed in the
atmosphere of a liberal arts college, I embrace the idea that a kid should study what fascinates him/her the most in college. Armed with enthusiasm, I did a month-long Theoretical Physics research during the summer of freshman year, on the question of whether our universe has a “preferred” handedness and whether it is detectable in the large-angle anisotropy of Cosmic Background Radiation. As it turns out, it takes more than a month for a freshman to tackle Theoretical Physics, for I spent most of the time teaching myself General Relativity through a thick textbook written by John Wheeler, instead of doing anything remotely original. While I enjoy leaving the research with a mindful of abstract ideas about the origin of the universe, I settled with myself on the contention of whether to pursue pure theories throughout my life.
The decision is no. As a result, my second research in Physics, the one started in the fall of 2009 and evolves into my senior project, differs significantly from the first one. The project in the Non-linear Physics Lab at Haverford College looks at the behaviors of swimming microorganisms in a quasi-2D fluid. The project was especially challenging at the beginning, because of the universally known fact that you cannot let a Physicist take care of living organisms. I had to figure out a systematic procedure to culture algae cells, to keep them motile, to add fluorescent tracers without disturbing their normal metabolism, and to take accurate measurements. Looking back at those days, I realized that the most valuable lesson I have learned is neither the lab procedures nor the
modeling skill, but an effective approach to a new project and the step-by-step elimination of experimental difficulties. This was also a time during which I encountered frustrations and joys down the path of an objective research, and tried to handle them professionally. They say doing research is about how you do it, not what you do. And I hope to incorporate my Physics research experiences and perspectives into the future research in Environmental Engineering.
As my transcript indicates, I intend to finish my undergraduate in three years. Although Bryn Mawr and Haverford equip me with a broad spectrum of
knowledge in Math, Physics, Economics and Art History, the absence of an Engineering department results in my eagerness to move on to a
comprehensive university with more Engineering resources and peers, a university like Columbia.
It is impossible not to be impressed by the Carbon Sequestration research going on in Columbia for someone like me who reads every issue of Scientific American. Although I may lack the knowledge in Engineering Design, I am
confident to enter this new field under the guidance of Professor Klaus Lackner; more importantly, I have already developed a strong passion for Carbon Sequestration through reading various literatures. Also, Professor
UpmanuLall’s specialty appeals to me because of his projects related to
hydro-climate modeling and policy-making tools. Having visited SEAS and the department twice, I fell in love with the department’s friendly atmosphere and its “international flavor”. I would like to believe that I will be an asset to the department in return. My education background spans from China, Oxford to Philadelphia; from fifty kids per classroom in middle school, ten teenagers from five different countries per classroom in high school, to twenty brilliant young women and no men per classroom in college (see resume). I find equally great pleasure in two seemingly contrary activities: scientific research and
philanthropy. It is my career goal to become a world citizen who, on one hand, savors the withdrawal of research, and on the other hand, advocates for a better environment when not at the desk. I am to be an Environmental
Engineer, for my own pleasure, for the sake of my homeland, and for the sake of this globe we are all living in. And Columbia holds the same belief.
