Dear Sir/Madam,
RE: APPLICATION FOR MASTER PROGRAM IN BUILDING ENGINEERING.

    Building engineering field being significant in the contemporary society, as a would-be engineering student, I will always strive to be an incredible asset to the university by devoting all my time in order to become a successful building engineer. Therefore, I am writing to inform you of my interest in building engineering program because my dreams is to hone my skills in construction management and building structure. My interest of becoming a building engineer began when I was 15 years of age. This was the time when I lost family friends in an incident that occurred due to the collapse of a building; thus, I felt that i will take a professional career in building engineering in order to design, plan and manage construction well to avoid such hazards arising due to poor construction of buildings. Overtime, I came across the book known as; residential construction management: managing according to the project lifecycle; thus the author inspired me because he revealed about the significance of initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, controlling, and managing projects in the real world (Griffin, 2010).
My education experience in urban planning has enabled me to acquire significant planning and management skills; thus I will become a competitive student in building engineering. I graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Arts in urban planning from Concordia University, Canada in April 2013. I studied varied related coursework including law and regulations in urban planning, quantitative and qualitative research methods, urban and regional economic restructuring, urban planning in developing world and many others. I also attained a pre-university graduation certificate from pre-university, Sadoughi University, Iran in 2002-2003 all of which have shaped my education skills. Moreover, I have taken considerable projects that have enabled me to advance my education experience. One of the projects include the development of a proposal for the Hippodrome Montreal, QC, Canada, where I was among the team members; thus we analyzed the urban morphology and productively contributed in the urban design development proposal of hippodrome with connecting the site to its surrounding; proposed master plan, land use character and  solar orientation. In September-December 2012, I participated in a team project for analyzing the urban morphology in plateau-Mont-Royal, Montreal, QC, Canada; thus I gained skills in and diachronic analyses of urban issue and building typology.
I am obliged to utilize my talents in constructive manner that will benefit the society; thus, the building engineering education will offer me an opportunity to express my talents while benefiting the society. I have gained competent working skills from varied internship programs. In May-august 2012 during summer time, I worked in Sustainable Concordia where I productively contributed and worked as a part of the environmental and health safety team. I gained competence skills in team work, communication skills and also I developed effective learning skills. I also worked in a women shoe store as a sale associate in 2009 to 20011 where I learnt how to respond to customers effectively and maintained sales records. I also worked as a private painting teacher where I taught painting techniques in 2003-2007.  I am obliged to achieve my goals because through team work and close association with my fellow workmates, I was inspired to devote myself in achieving my future dreams. Together with the education and work experience that I have gained from the previous learning and working institutions consecutively, I believe that I am an excellent fit for building engineering course program; thus I will build my talent.

Yours Faithfully,
