Personal Statement For Mechanical Engineering

As a mechanical engineering student with an acute interest in the industrial work environment, I have understood the principles of mechanical engineering those are applicable to most of the machines, tools and processes which naturally widens my scope of learning and research. This has raised the interest in me to explore the option of pursuing my masters in mechanical engineering from your prestigious university which would not only help in increasing my knowledge but also prepare me in the best possible way to attain my ambitions. I was introduced to machines from a very early age when I used to accompany my father to his factory. I learnt about steam turbine, broilers, compressing machines, lathe machines, steam turbines and lube blending plant

What would you say when asked what life is? I would say life is like a motor race, no matter how bad the track is, we have to keep riding until we reach the finish line. Well, there is no finish line in life until we get settled in a certain phase and here I am to start a new episode of my life. I introduce myself as Mohamed Shajahan M.A, a Mechanical Engineering graduate. I pursued my B.E Mechanical at Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, under Anna University.

The development of every nation hinges on the effectiveness of their transportation systems. Movement of goods, services and people to and from work is made possible by transportation systems. The importance of effective transportation systems cannot be over-emphasized. A lot of countries are facing Transportation problems and my country Ghana is no exception. A trip of about 30 minutes can take about an hour or more due to traffic jams. This is seriously impacting productivity and has been a topical issue in the country. The situation is the same in Uganda where I currently work. To this end, Transportation Engineers are needed to design roads/ highways that will stand the test of time, plan effective traffic management systems to reduce travel

It is my greatest honor to be a Boilermaker. When I graduated from high school and decided to study abroad, I did not hesitate choosing Purdue University as my first choice for its extraordinary reputation in quality of educating and academic researches. Indeed, the experiences in Lyles School of Civil Engineering of Purdue University was perfect: enjoying the safe campus, making new friends, taking great courses, meeting outstanding professors and participating a promising research. These will compete me, being the cornerstone of my career success. During these years, the curriculum of civil engineering was truly beneficial and constructed my entire knowledge of being a structural engineer: in CE474, Structural Analysis Ⅱ, I have been taught deeper to determine force equilibrium, moment, indeterminacy and deflection for a given structure using several methods, moment area, force method, virtual work method and MATLAB etc.; in CE473, Reinforced Concrete Design, I have learned how a concrete component should be reinforced, what the flexural and shear behaviors are, and how slabs and columns are supposed to be designed and in CE470, Steel Design, I have familiarized not only the correct use of AISC Code and SAP2000 software, but also the theoretical calculation in designing and checking typical steel components. Moreover, in order to explore further and wider in civil engineering as well as to enrich academic experiences, I had an internship at KanShe Architecture and

Mechanical engineering is the catalyst of rapid innovation in the aerospace and defense, automotive, heavy equipment and industrial equipment manufacturing industries. The foundational elements of mechanical engineering are what make the pace of new product development possible (Bar-Cohen, 1995). By far the most significant accomplishment of humankind in the 21rst century is the landing of the rover on the surface of Mars (Thilmany, 2012). It is the epitome of accomplishment between mechanical engineering, which si the discipline used to create the device, and software, which is powering it. Management Information Systems concepts keep the Mars rover working every day, even though it is literally 200 million miles away. The core concepts of mechanical engineering all contributed to this remarkable accomplishment. When I see these accomplishments I want to continually set higher goals for my education in mechanical engineering.

The constant urge to explore about things around me always motivates me to keep myself updated. I believe that Mechanical Engineering was the perfect choice for me as it gave me the vast knowledge of how the world around us works. My fascination for Industrial Engineering was cultivated in the first year of my undergraduation. During my first industrial visit to Caparo Manufacturing Unit, Sriperambudur, Chennai, I observed that one team was dedicated to analyse the product outcome along with efficiency and another team was working on finding engineering solutions based on the drawbacks, for optimisation. This drew my attention as I too have the tendency to find solutions. This visit sparked my interest in this field, and I felt as if it represented my calling.

My strong urge to know about the science involved in the daily life to understand how things work, has put me in a deep interest in acquiring the knowledge of Science and Technology. My curiosity to explore and learn more about them motivated me to pursue career in mechanical engineering. As I have completed my bachelors’ degree in Mechanical Engineering, my goal is to obtain a Master's Degree and it time permits a PhD. I believe this could give me an opportunity explore and gain as much knowledge as I can.

My exceptional academic records secured in my secondary and higher secondary examinations and in my undergraduate course in Mechanical Engineering at GITAM University-Hyderabad has provided me the poise to excel in research and course work. The curriculum exposed me to the whole spectrum of fields relating to Mechanical Engineering.

A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class.

I consider this phase in my life to be the most momenteous, wherein I have to decide

Growing up, I have always had a love for computers. I always wanted to do something on a computer, be it typing or even playing a game. Once it was on a computer, I was happy about it. Unfortunately, I hadn’t thought of pursuing that love into a career because I was blinded by other fields I thought I was also interested in. As a result, when I was applying for my university education, I was blinded by the field of Civil Engineering but because my university didn’t offer it, I chose Mechanical Engineering because I felt it was the closest field to it. However, after my first year of school, I had a C+ in my Physics course while I had an A in my Python class. I made no thought about it but I felt that Mechanical engineering wasn’t the field for me. After a long period of thinking and reflecting, I switched to Computer Engineering because at the moment, I felt it was relatively easier compared to the other engineering disciplines my school offered, ie. Mechanical and Electrical. I felt

(Just an example…….The Paris Climate Accord of limiting rise of global to 2 degree C strikes fear and inspire my desire to contribute to this effort in my ambition as a Mechanical engineer.) Lhe serious demand of clean sustainable energy has led to inventions such as Tesla electrical cars which are on par performance-wise with petrol-powered vehicles in addition to their immense scale down on harmful emissions. This is the aspiration that all engineers need to have, which is the desire to create something more versatile and closer to that of an ideal device.

I am Nileshkumar Luhar. Discovering and understanding how certain mechanical products work have attracted my attention for the longest time. I have been watching TV show named How It’s Made on the Discovery Channel since last six years. Seeing the manner in which the machineries and cars are built and the various processes involved instilled desire in me to be part of the whole process. I felt that Engineering would be the area, which would give me the opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are applied to create technology for practical and real purposes. This coupled with a natural flair for science and mathematics motivated me to take up Mechanical Engineering in University.

It was the first day of the new semester. Dr. Razzaque, the professor giving the introductory lecture of his fluid mechanics course, decided to start with an audacious statement. “If you think mechanical engineering is too broad in scope for your liking, remember, you have seen nothing yet.” Aware that he had the class’s attention, he went on, “Think about what you have learned so far. You have taken courses in physics, multivariable calculus, electric circuits, computer programming and so on. It will be some time before you will properly understand how all these elements come together, but when you do, you will probably be surprised by your own understanding of the world.” He then went on to explain, citing Formula One, computational fluid dynamics and biomimetics, how mechanical engineering brings very diverse skill sets together. Those words felt, at the time, like a key to making sense of the plethora of courses that was my college life. Dr. Razzaque had suddenly made me realize the relevance of what I was learning. It would prove to be a pivotal point in my academic life. That lecture, and the following course, renewed my passion for mechanical engineering. I joined Dr. Hasan’s lab a year later as an undergraduate researcher and now I aspire to pursue graduate studies in mechanical engineering. All of these can be traced back to that quiet spring morning more than two years ago.

Ever since my childhood, I used to fix things at home. Sometimes it would work and other times it would go down the drain. As a kid, I’ve experimented on simple toys to various machines used at home which was obsolete. I was intrigued as to how machines worked and wanted to explore more about them. I remember a day when I fixed something at my home and everyone praised me. It was then that I realized that I had a thing for machines and this paved for my interest in Mechanical Engineering. During the process of study in this field of engineering and from the scientific world around me, I clearly felt the prominence of it in the field of science. Since then, I have been determined to pursue a Master’s program in Mechanical
