Gaurang Mistry
My name is Gaurang Mistry. I was born and raised in Mumbai, India and currently I am a student at University of Nevada, Las Vegas pursuing my Master's Degree in Environmental & Water Resources Engineering.
My passion towards designing goes back to my school years as I watched my father work as an architect. This soon inspired me to single pick out civil engineering. I graduated with a Bachelors in Civil Engineering from Kansas State State University. On coming to Kansas State University, I had the chance to study a variety of engineering courses which reinforced my interest in engineering. My leadership and teamwork skills continued to be developed as I was the Social and Activities head of the Indian Student Association at my university. I was also a student member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and American Institute of Steel Constructions. I am currently a graduate teaching and research assistant at University of Nevada, Las Vegas. I am also serving as the President for National Society of Professional Engineer's student chapter here at UNLV. Apart from NSPE, I am a student member of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), International Water Resources Association (IWRA), Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), American Water Works Association (AWWA), Nevada Water Resources Association (NWRA), and American Institute of Steel Construction(AISC).
As moving to the completion of my degree to a professional future in civil engineering, I hope to work in a firm that supports an international working environment which would help me further develop my skills, This in turn would help me erase my boundaries and widen my horizons.
Resume
"Design should not dominate things, should not dominate people. It should help people. That's its role."
- Dieter Rams
As an Engineer I believe that any problem which does not consider user interaction, connection or desire is not a problem at all; we should always be at a place where we stand.
My character takes into consideration that engineering should help people, and if it does not then it has failed. It should be considered as a decision making process in which my basic knowledge is applied to convert resources at an advantage to meet the stated objective. Among the fundamental elements of the engineering there should be an establishment of Design of the structure, Prototype and Testing.
Sometimes the problems may not be known in the present time, and so therefore I believe that engineering skills comes at work to discover the problems and identify the places where is needs to be changed. The way I look at this process is that it is not an engineering problem, but is an unique process which requires creativity, skills and spontaneous thinking to create a solution which can be simple, helpful and reassuring to the surrounding.
