Letter of Motivation

Since the dawn of civilization civil engineering, is vital to human world, making its contribution to make
life easy for mankind. The scientific, mathematical and challenging work of civil engineer fascinated me
from the beginning of my secondary education. As I like and enjoy the challenging works, I was more
inclined towards civil engineering. Moreover, when I was at school, whenever I used to see a person
wearing safety helmet and a jacket, I consider him/her an engineer. I thought that he/she on the site are
the only guys who can solve any problem and can face any challenge, when they come across any, and
which inspired me a lot. Furthermore, whenever I saw a guy drawing maps and the one looking at the
maps on site, was also other reason that increased my desire to command project drawings. My interest
for engineering further increased when I saw the tall and attractive building with creative designs on TV
and newspapers.
My ambition for future is to become a fully qualified Civil Engineer and to work my way up in a large
construction company to become a Project Manager. I have a passion to design and complete projects
where I can utilize and promote my creativity of building and leave a landmark for engineering world. I
have read many case studies and personally met with people who have achieved this and I am working
hard to gain the skills and knowledge such challenging project require.. I have studied B.Sc(Hons) Civil
Engineering, from Cecos university Peshawar; I believe that my graduation provided me the most basic
and essential skills and knowledge of modern civil engineering. Planning and management and structure
designing and analysis was the most enjoyable subject and I aspire to work in the same field, to get to its
acme.
I am currently working as Site Engineer with Zeeruk International Consultants, on the construction of
signal free corridor Islamabad (Islamabad Highway). Its a very challenging job but my inclination to work
under hard situations has always helped me to learn more. Likewise, the practical experience of
designing and working on the site really helped me alot to gain hands on experience in understanding
variety of techniques and skills of managing the site and analyzing the structure by using variety of
computer aided softwares.
Once I entered the workplace, I didnt stop my engineering studies. Its go on to become certified
Professional Engineers (PE), which requires experience and testing. As without this certification civil
engineer is limited in its authority. The PE license allows me the authority to sign off on all projects
within my professional specialty.
The course that I chose is Masters in Civil Engineering. As I already have a little bit of experience in
structure designing and analysis side, thats why I choose these courses to became a specialist in the
specified field. Additionally, I like to work on post of senior structure and more specifically as bridge
engineer, to solidify my ambition to became a professional bridge engineer world wide the chosen
courses will definitely helpful to get my aspiration of project engineer bridges.
Likewise, my cousin is a foremost motivation for me, to study from a German university, who studied
from a German university and is now doing job as senior economist in World Bank. Owing to the quality
education in developed countries like Germany always prompt me to imbibe the advance knowledge,
skills and implement that knowledge in proper way after coming back to my home country. Additionally,
it will be good opportunity to interact with people from other part of the world who came to study from
German universities. Also a chance to know about different cultures of the world and especially German
culture and language.
Moreover, I have also taken the initiative to set up a youth organization at my village which will work on
various problems that our village is facing i.e. clean water, cleaning of sewerage system, rehabilitation of

drugs addicted persons and providing healthy environment to the youth of our village. I am working as
vice president of the organization and I find this very rewarding and exciting as I am employing my
communication skills to this hobby.
The area to which I belongs is terrorist stricken, where literacy is near to non, owing to that there is
huge deficiency of management in government as well as private organization. Lack of management
every time leads to failure of any developmental projects.
Besides that, experts in such subjects are required at national level meet evolving needs of urban
development and to manage the development projects in big cities of Pakistan. These courses would
also help me compete with other engineers working with public and private sectors in the countrsy.
