<p>I wish to join NICMAR because it is one of the few institutions in India that connects engineering education with real construction practice. Structural engineering is not only about theoretical calculations; it is also about how structures behave in real conditions, how projects are executed, and how engineers solve practical problems on site. NICMAR has built a strong reputation in bridging this gap between academics and the construction industry. Being part of such an environment would provide an excellent platform to contribute both in teaching and research. NICMAR&rsquo;s focus on construction management, infrastructure development, and applied engineering makes it a unique place for structural engineering education. Structural engineers today must understand not only analysis and design but also the broader aspects of infrastructure systems, project execution, and emerging technologies. I believe that my background in structural dynamics and structural control systems can contribute to developing innovative and resilient structural solutions, which is important for modern infrastructure projects.&nbsp;<br />I enjoy explaining technical concepts in simple ways and helping students understand how engineering principles apply to real structures such as buildings and bridges. My goal as a faculty member would be to create a learning environment where students develop strong fundamentals in structural engineering while also gaining awareness of practical challenges in the construction sector. In addition, my experience as a research scholar for more than five years has helped me develop patience, analytical thinking, and the ability to guide students in problem-solving. I would like to use this experience to mentor students, encourage critical thinking, and motivate them to explore innovative ideas in structural engineering. Overall, joining NICMAR would provide an opportunity to contribute to an institution that values applied knowledge, industry relevance, and academic excellence. I would be glad to be part of a faculty team that prepares future engineers to design safe, efficient, and resilient structures for society.</p>
