My name is Aung Thein. I am currently a third year undergraduate student in National University of Singapore (NUS). I received Diploma of Civil and Environmental Engineering from Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP) in February 2007. At the same time, I was awarded the Silver medal graduate among the batch from Year 2007. With the excellent academic records at NP, I managed to secure an undergraduate place in Civil Engineering in NUS to further my study.
I have a highly independent and self-motivated personality. In addition to be excelling in my studies, I also work constantly as part-time employee in various jobs in order to support my own living expenses and to gain more experiences in different fields. During my tertiary studies in NP, I worked as a sale assistant in Cold Storage supermarket for more than 2 years. And, I had gained many experiences in the area of customer service and managing stock in a service department from that job.
Soon after I got my diploma, I joined a local engineering consultant firm as an Engineer’s Assistant. My job scope included drafting structure drawings, doing design calculations and coordinating architects and contractors with engineers. Although, I only had 5 months of service time in that company, I have learnt many practical experiences relating to structural engineering and, also, many business aspects of engineering. After resigning from my full time position, I was offered a part-time draftman position by my Manager as a recognition of my dedication in the job.
My career’s goal is to become a professional engineer in the field that I pursue. Because of the working experiences that I have had, I realize more values in studies from a more practical point of view and that is also the main motivation that drives me to perform my best.
