STUDY PLAN

SELF INTRODUCTION:
I am Abdulaziz Yusuf from Nigeria. I obtained my bachelor’ s degree at Ahmadu Bello University Zaria
in Nigeria and graduated with a Second Class Upper division Throughout my undergraduate studies I was
a hardworking and disciplined student which enabled me to attain high grades in both class work,
workshop and lab practical. I also participated in social activities such as engineering design contests,
seminars, symposium, workshops and debates which allowed me to get a better understanding of how
engineering has transformed the world. In order to notre my leadership skills, I served in both national and
international organizations and during my leisure time I played chess and football.

ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:
My interest in chemical engineering was agitated after seeing how Materials chemistry has led to
modernization of the world through the use of scientific knowledge to solve practical problems and as we
know material is that out of which everything is made, the understanding of materials property has led to
proper utilization of different materials which has led to advancement in technology thus leading to new
innovation which have boosted our lives gradually. According to material research and testing agencies
worldwide such as American society for testing and materials (ASTM), Materials are used in daily life as
safety products like raincoat, rain boots, heat resisting jackets and zinc for roofing our buildings, also
they are used in production of iron and steel which can be used in the construction of bridges, dams and
big buildings Studying materials and engineering at Undergraduate level was entrancing since I was able
to familiarize myself with the study of materials production and application, heat treatment of materials,
corrosion effect and control, polymer and composite materials, nano materials Bio materials and
mechanical properties of materials I was also able to comprehend how materials science is an amazing
discipline where it related among other branches of engineering to create a new understanding of matter.
In modern world for instance, Aluminium and steel are two different important materials in human lives
which having the knowledge of their property makes it easy for us to utilize them and get a positive result
just as most part of a plane are made from Aluminium material due to their resistant to corrosion and
good weight to strength to cost ratio makes it perfect material for construction and one thing that makes it
ideal material for aircraft is its resistant to UV damage, similarly steel used in bridges and dams due to
their strength and hardness and ability to withstand load similarly other materials such as copper, cast iron,
composites and polymer are used due to their special property.
AREA OF INTEREST:
Chemical engineering is my area of interest with specialization in composite Materials (Nano Composite),
polymer and polymeric materials or advanced materials these amongst other areas are important to a
materials engineer since it deals with how new or advanced materials are produced just as in case of
Nano composite, materials characterization and applications which understanding of the materials
property will lead to processes on how to improve different materials to be used in different applications
and to generate new materials which have economic importance in our lives. Composite for instant,
which is a branch of materials science is applied in producing different composite materials thus
providing lightweight and high strength which is used in some modern car bumpers and used to replace
some materials in an Aircraft amongst others materials science help us to choose the right materials for a
specific application and how to protect the material from defects and to extends its service life. The
important of materials science can not be over emphasized as we all know that materials engineers are the
back bone of modern engineering as other engineering fields depends on them to produce the right
material for a specific application.

STUDY PLAN IN CHINA:


I am enthralled to study a Master’ s Degre in Chemical engineering as a way of getting more knowledge
and skills to tackle the problem of failure of materials due to environmental constraints such as corrosion
and to generate new materials with better performance, as we all know the world is evolving fast and
increasing the demand for different materials as new technology is introduce, so there is need for us to
find a way to generate new materials to meet the demand.

Over time the lifespan of these materials are shortened due to the conditions at which we placed them
which lead to changes in the internal structures and subsequently lead to failure. The failure occur due to
several reasons such as system of loading, thermal effect, weathering action and lack of proper
maintenance. My research project will focus on how to improve the materials property by introducing
new maintenance techniques and to generate new materials. Currently, materials science has been a key
interest area of research worldwide, due to advancement in technology which give urgency to generate
new materials as some of the old materials are not compatible to the new technology. Researchers are
now utilizing different methods to produced improved materials such as using advanced composite,
advanced nano materials, surfaced engineered materials similarly using new methods of production such
as intelligent processing technology of materials, joining technology of dissimilar metals etc
REASONS TO STUDY AT ZHENGZHOU:
I have chosen to pursue my master’ s degree in Chemical engineering at Zhengzhou University because
according to the 2022 QS World University Rankings, the institution is ranked among the top 100
universities in the world offering internationally recognized academic programs. The facilities here such
as research laboratories for my field are second to none and I also liked the approach these university
takes to my course. Their specific coursework modules, detailed curriculum and professors of
international standards set this universities apart from the others offering the same subject. An
opportunity to study at this institution will provide me with practical skills, research knowledge and
reliable networks which will enable me to contribute to the advancement of engineering research.

CAREER GOALS:
After my masters, I hope to enter into research centers and eventually lectureship. My desire to further
comprehend the world while contributing to the engineering community such as National Association of
Materials science engineer, National Association of chemical engineers will drive me to fully immerse
myself in academic study, advance my understanding of the universe and also enable me to help young
engineers who have passion for Materials science and engineering. I hope this study plan supports my
application and demonstrate that I am a devoted, disciplined and hardworking student with keen interest
in current affairs and the advancement of Technology.
