Science and mathematics have been my strong suit since my schooldays, as is evident from the grades I received. I have strived to be an engineer since my high school. I have been waiting for an opportunity to apply my concepts of mathematics and physics in the real world. My father, who is a mechanical engineer from the same college I am graduating from, played a huge role in inspiring me to pursue engineering. Amongst all branches of engineering, the range and application of Civil Engineering is the broadest and the most visible.
I feel privileged to be pursuing Civil Engineering from B.M.S College of Engineering, Bangalore whose Department of Civil Engineering has been accredited with the highest rating by the National Bureau of Accreditation, India. Being a part of this institute has helped me develop a positive outlook towards persistent learning. Taking up civil engineering led me through a complete new journey of self- discoveries and explorations. Majorly because I was going to be the first civil engineer in the family, breaking all norms. I’ve laid emphasis on acquiring knowledge at every stage of this journey. I have developed a strong interest towards Structural Engineering during my undergraduate study. I have done consistently well in understanding the nuances and the basics of this subject. The various courses such as Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Mechanics, Engineering Geology, Strength of Materials, Building Materials and Testing, Analysis of Structures, Concrete technology, Design of Steel Structures and Structural Dynamics which have been part of my curriculum have helped me acquire the necessary skills to pursue my studies further in Structural Engineering.
