I am applying for the Commenwealth General Scholarship for MS in the field of Chemical

Engineering. Presently I have completed the undergraduate studies of Chemical Engineering. I

believe that my chosen profession will enable me to fulfill my desire to help others, to expand
my knowledge base, and to travel. Throughout my life I have participated in extracurricular
activities, including valuable volunteer experiences. I have striven for academic excellence,
always wishing to get the most of my education. In addition, I have managed to work to provide
some of my basic educational expenses. Over the years with the great expansion of scientific
knowledge, the basis of applying
science particularly chemistry to develop technology has increased tremendously. This has led t
o thedevelopment of the profession of Chemical Engineering.Chemical Engineering involves the
design and maintenance of chemical plants and the developmentof chemical processes for
converting raw materials or chemicals into valuable forms including thoseto remove chemicals
from waste materials, to enable large-scale manufacture.Chemical engineers apply the
principles of chemistry, mathematics, and physics to the design andoperation of large-scale
chemical manufacturing processes. They translate processes developed in thelaboratory into
practical applications for the production of products such as plastics, medicines,detergents, and
fuels; design plants to maximize productivity and minimize costs; and evaluate plantoperations
for performance and product quality.As far as my study career in the field of Chemical
Engineering I have had a great deal of laboratoryexperience in software based Chemical
Engineering Programs. In the lab, I have performed many practical. In my project, I
have developed a Chemical computer based calculator that assists engineersin the Heat
Transfer calculations & also sieve tray distillation tower and electrostatic De salter. Myfinal year
project is an Effluent Treatment of Oil Refineries.Education has always been an important facet
of my life. While in high school I took challengingcourses, such as advanced placement English,
physics, and calculus, and chemistry.All of these experiences have served to influence me. I
have faced many challenges, balancing work,school and university, and I have willingly given my
time. My goal is to become a professionalengineer so that I can perform tasks that makes the
performance and progress of the industry. I enjoylistening and working with others.I believe
that I would be an asset to your program. This scholarship would provide me with the
idealopportunity to learn from other country and university and to expand my research skills
and processing sciences. I also did my internship in SNGPL (Sui Northern Gas Pipe Lines LTD
Pakistan)& Pak Arab fertilizers Ltd. Pakistan.Thank you for your generous time and
consideration.Sincerely,Muhammad Kamran Mahmood3.74/4.00
