Applying for a Master in Mechanical Engineering

I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering.

In an effort to bring brevity and clarity to this statement, I will forego the traditional introduction; please excuse this. I wish to fully use the space to explain my qualifications for engineering through my erudition, my social skills, and my home life.

My exposure in the field of engineering can be traced back to my high school days. Not only did I take science classes such as physics, but I was also a member of two engineering clubs which taught numerous material outside the school’s curriculum. With that

Staring at engine components of a car as well as holding a smartphone with almost unbelievable thickness fascinated me in many ways indirectly leaded me into getting to know more through different sources about machines ranging from transportation to communication devices. Two years of A-level preparation, further solidified my interest in this area as I found myself very fond of learning mathematics, physics and mechanics in particular. In addition, my curiosity in the operation and dynamics of objects naturally influences my choice of degree, leading me towards Engineering as it is a discipline which satisfy my own interest and most probably bring out the best of me.

I drew upon the common scenario in which a high school or college student is searching for a major or is unsure what to study. I described how others may be like myself and may not have the opportunity to be exposed to the field of mechanical engineering. This exposure to the field is quite important because these young and future engineers are the people that will develop the technology and innovations of the future. Then I concluded my introduction with my partitio.

Looking at how I perform at an academic level, there is no surprise to anyone that I am among the top of my class, with hard work and dedication I have fought my way to the get the spot I currently hold. To get to the spot, many challenges had to be overcome and a lot of effort had to be put in. Along the way, I discovered this helped my development into the type of student I currently am.

For as long as I can remember I dreamed of one day becoming a very successful and accomplished engineer. During high school in Guyana, I crafted great plans. I would attend a prestigious university, gain my degree, then I would go on to be a productive, if not influential, member of society. My dreams turned into reality when the opportunity to study in the United States as an international student came before me. This time I had a solid plan. I wanted to study civil engineering with a minor in architecture and a specialization in sustainable construction. I would start out at Essex County College, then transfer to a four year university where I could complete my bachelor’s degree. I quickly completed my paperwork and was soon on my way to a world class education and to make a name for myself.

“ ‘Change the conversation’ about engineering, ” as the dean’s message states, “we are helping dismantle stereotypes about engineers — what they do, who they are, what they look like.” I was deeply touched by these encouraging words when I first read it on the Viterbi School of Engineering website. As a woman in science and engineering who have been through many stereotypes towards women, my belief is consistent with dean’s message: “this must change.” I’m so happy and glad to have acceptance from a school that respects diversity and minority. I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the precious opportunity offered by USC School of Engineering. Thank you for offering me the admission

As my undergraduate journey commenced, I was elated that I had found my passion for engineering and that I had committed to the courses that would lead me to the degree that I would later obtain. As a typical freshman in college, I had the thought go through my mind, “just how hard can college actually be?” Boy, was I completely wrong! How naïve was I to believe that my easily obtained 4.0 GPA in high school would not be so easy to achieve in my undergraduate courses. Early on in my undergraduate career, my personal studies were greatly impacted and my focus turned to a personal

Though I have varied interests, ranging from Linux to microbiology, my focus is now on engineering. This interest in engineering started out from a young age. As any other “stereotypical nerd,” I often disassembled anything that I could put my hands on, be it an RC car or my dad’s TI-8250 printing desk calculator. Later in my educational career however, I realized that I could pursue a profession following my curiosity and love of math and science. To begin this pursuit, I applied to Texas A&M for a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

For this ambition to strive for more is my reason why the Penn Engineering school is the only school for me and how I will be pursuing my intellectual interests at this institution.

The purpose of this report is to characterize students in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program in ENL1813T_050. We did this by doing a survey. The survey was done to get more information about the students and to know why they choose this program. This was done on Tuesday May 15, 2018. The students were asked 5 questions which are:

engineering. My tenure in high school is what initially led to my choice in pursuing this

Exploration and analysis have been the essence of my life, guiding me through the most mystifying predicaments. In this ever changing world of engineering & technology where each new day sees a spate of new concepts and applications and each passing day makes them obsolete, I always wanted to attain the highest level of excellence in education and transcend new horizons in the chosen field.

I have successfully earned a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from SUNY, University at Buffalo in September 2013, which opened avenues for me and led me to my first full-time job. Since graduation, I’ve been on a ceaseless path of learning from working as a Quality Engineer for a small manufacturing company called HDM Hydraulics to where I am now as an R&D Quality Engineer for New Product Development at Medtronic. My academic pursuits continued even after starting
