美国留学化学工程专业个人陈述范文2篇
范文一
I am enchanted with chemistry; whenever I see the various and complex chemical reactions at the molecular level, I feel that I have entered a brand new world.
It was in my senior year of high school that I came in contact with chemistry courses. When the chemistry teacher demonstrated the synthesis process of polyethylene through the computer, I saw that the ethylene monomer model opened the double bonds and connected together under the reaction conditions and catalyst, so that double bonds, open chains, chaining, and other processes, which had been obscure and abstract previously, suddenly became detailed and clear. Later I found that the polymers were widely used in daily life, ranging from the plastic cups to making artificial bones and hearts, along with other advanced scientific products. In further studies I came to know that the exploration for inorganic matter had reached a certain limit, yet there was still much unexplored, especially high polymers. Therefore, without hesitation, I selected chemistry for my major at the Chemical Engineering and Technology Department of XX University.
I was excited to be able to learn my beloved subject, so in the past four years I took full advantage of all the chances to learn practical operation and application related to chemistry. In my junior year I took part in the chemical engineering course design, which was to design the packing rectifying tower. The design involved extensive knowledge relating to packing tower, including the option of packing, calculation of the technical size of the packing tower calculation of packing layer drop, selection and arrangement of the packing tower internals, and so on. One difficulty in the design was the selection of one of the packing tower internal components: the liquid distribution device. I selected the slotted liquid distributor after much research in the library. Such design solved the problems of the uneven gas-liquid distribution and resistance, which appeared in traditional similar packing towers. When I brought my design scheme to my teacher, I received a positive evaluation. My design and self-study were greatly improved through this design, which also increased my confidence in the field of chemistry field.
Due to my excellent performance, I was selected for the chemical research group in my senior year, becoming the only undergraduate in the group. I studied mPEG, poly (SA, LA), and mPEG triblock co-polymer. I took part in the core part of the project: preparation of sebacic acid anhydride prepolymer, preparation of sebacic acid-D,L lactic acid prepolymer, synthesis of the ultimate target product, and measured the drug release of the obtained products. The project enabled me to grasp more complicated experiment operations, and gave me a clear and complete understanding for the professional field. Furthermore, it enabled me to possess the required qualities of a good chemist, gaining knowledge in the research method, research process, test design, and planning. In the end I realized that what I learned in the application of biology has a very promising development, not only because it is full of infinite possibilities, but it can also benefit humankind.
There was still a big gap between China and the United States with respects to materials of the macromolecule field. So for my future studies, I am most interested in two aspects. The first is the development of environment-friendly materials. Because of its high costs in China, environmental-friendly materials are not used much. I hope to not only find new environment-friendly materials, but also lower its cost and increase its production. The second direction I am interested in is the study of polymeric biomedical materials. I think that many incurable diseases can be cured with the development of medical technology in combination with polymer materials. Therefore, I also hope my future overlaps the two fields: chemistry and medicine.
The United States is leading in the field of polymer materials. So it is my dream to have my graduate studies in America. After comparing similar graduate projects offered by various universities, I selected your university because I think that both the teaching and research aspects in regards to my two focus directions are the best. I believe the education of your university will be able to meet my desire for research and knowledge. Besides this, your university has an excellent reputation, high quality faculty, advanced teaching equipment, rich campus activities, and numerous outstanding alumni.
After I graduate I plan to come back to China and work for a chemical company, for example GE, where I hope to take part in the study of polymeric membrane used in the water treatment process, or perhaps Johnson & Johnson, where I hope to conduct research on polymer materials of artificial organs. My long-term goal is to be able to establish my own research lab. I hope what I learn can benefit more people.

I have always enjoyed studying Maths, Physics and Chemistry, and I would like the opportunity to continue this study. Chemical Engineering appeals to me because of the challenges involved in the application of scientific theory to practical, real world problems such as how to deal with nuclear waste. I particularly look forward to studying fluid dynamics as I was introduced to this during the Engineering Education Scheme (EES). I am aware that in today’s world chemical engineering has an increasingly important role across a wide range of industries from pharmaceuticals to petrochemicals. The broad range of career paths, and the opportunity to contribute to society through technological innovation, is for me, one of the main attractions of chemical engineering.
I have applied to take part in the Year In Industry scheme during which I hope to gain practical experience, as well as greater maturity enabling me to go into my degree course with improved skills and broader experience. I also hope to study e-learning courses on project management and presentation skills run by the IChemE. In Year 12 I took part in the EES, which improved my understanding and skills in team working, time management, and report writing, as well as visual and oral presentation. Throughout the course of the project the team had to frequently correspond with mentors in industry and academia and this experience has broadened my appreciation of practice and application in a real life situation. In July I attended a week-long ‘Into Engineering’ seminar run by REACT Engineering. Working in two teams, we were given a design exercise based upon a typical decommissioning project. I also attended a Headstart course at Newcastle University, which I thoroughly enjoyed. One of the main activities was to design, manufacture and test a small crane. I found both of these experiences very challenging, as we were given only limited time so we had to prioritise our tasks and carefully plan our work.This year a fellow student and I were awarded £500 by the European Scholarship Prize to fund a visit to Prague to do research for our A-level History coursework. I gained an understanding of the city’s culture and history and further developed my independence. During the summer I represented my school on a Connexions review of a government white paper on 14-19 education. I gained an insight into the government’s proposals and learned a lot about working with different groups of people. Last year I was part of the editorial team for the school magazine. I wrote a number of articles and I was responsible for ensuring that staff contributions were ready for the deadline. I also enjoy participating in a range of sports and have represented the school at football and cricket, which has further enhanced my team working skills.In my spare time I am working towards my Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. In September I completed a 4-day expedition in the Lake District, which tested my endurance but gave me a great sense of achievement. As part of the award I have been helping at the local youth café once a week, which I am really enjoying as it gives me the chance to meet new people. I also enjoy reading, particularly books on physics and Russian history. I am really interested in computers and I am currently trying to configure a Linux based file and print server for my home network.
For admission to a university in England you have to fill in a form from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). They for a very reasonable fee provide all applicants to unversities and colleges in the UK with a way to apply to up to 6 universities (or multiple courses at, say 3 universities). Part of the form (apart from all the obvious details such as name and address), is half a page where you are asked to write about yourself, your interests and so on. Inevitably you have to make it sound as good as possible, as you're trying to sell yourself to the universities you're applying to...I applied to the universities of Aston, Bath, Bristol, Cambridge, Imperial College London, and Loughborough. All for an MEng (Master of Engineering degree) in Chemical Engineering, except for Bristol where I went for an MEng in Computer Science, so this is tailored towards those courses. Anyway... Here it is. I don't guarantee that you won't get bored! ;-). (NB this was written in the summer of 1999, and is therefore not too current!).Reasons for Course Choice
Since beginning secondary school, I've been very interested in Chemistry and Computing. Besides my normal schoolwork I've read around these two subjects. Because I am also very keen on Mathematics and Physics, I want to pursue a degree course that combines all or most of these. Both of my parents are Science/Engineering graduates and they have taught me some of the qualities needed for a degree course in this field. This has encouraged me to find out about the opportunities available. Aims
I have applied to several firms for sponsorship while at university and during a gap year, with the intention of getting Engineering-related work experience. This would give me valuable experience for the course at university. I hope to obtain a Master of Engineering degree and become employed in research and development in the oil or food industry. Eventually, I would like to do postgraduate study, and perhaps even teach Chemistry/Engineering. Interests
I play basketball, tennis, volleyball, and I like kayaking. By far my biggest sports interest, however, is orienteering. I've won several trophies for Andalusian and league championships, and I've helped to organise regional orienteering events. I have also designed the database system for my club. My greatest interest outside school is computing. I have done a large amount of web design. I help maintain the computer systems at my father's workplace; and I also do some part time work teaching people on a one-to-one basis how to use their computers. I like writing manuals or "notes" on things related to computers, and have published an article on web design in a small US computer magazine. I have written papers on the use of data-logging and other equipment for my school's science department. This year, I was responsible for laying out my school's entire yearbook using DTP software. Recently, I was employed developing a web site and training staff for an organisation in London. When I have time I play the keyboard, and also do some sound engineering: I used to operate the mixing desk at my local church, as well as help at my parents' workplace, which is a professional recording studio. I enjoy teaching and have given weekly tuition in Maths and English. General Points
I've lived in Spain for 14 years and am fluent in Spanish. In addition, my parents work with North Africans, Middle Easterners, Americans, Spaniards, Britons, and people of other nationalities. I have gained valuable experience growing up with many different cultures around me, and as a result appreciate the difficulties of cross-cultural communication. I have been part of several "King's Kids", teams which perform music and dance all over Spain. This entailed travelling away from home for 3 weeks at a time, and having to work with around 60 other people. I think that this has made me a fairly rounded person, and I therefore feel confident about "fitting in" with people from any culture.
