Personal Statement In Mechanical Engineering

As it is easily visible with the increasing enrolment of international students in Canadian institutions, internationalization has become one of the key aspects of higher education in developing its intellectual property, more mainly due to political and economic reasons (Altbach & Knight, 2007). Canada is perceived to be “one of the most trusted in the world” as a destination of choice with its high-quality education in a welcoming multicultural environment (Global Affairs Canada, 2014). A study conducted by Canadian Bureau for International Education presents that in Canada, the number of international students pursuing post-secondary studies reached 263,855 from 187 nations in 2015 all around the world (2016, p. 15). In

My perception for Mechanical Engineering has always been of very high level. Very early from my childhood, I had the passion and enigma to become a successful mechanical engineer. My interest was further enhanced because of my Brother. He had graduated from a reputed university and now works as a senior engineer in a renowned company in the US, His talent, combined with uniqueness and exuberance is something that pushes me to prove myself and that bodes well with my passion for the subject.

International students often come to Canada for their post-secondary studies because of the high-quality education system it maintains. With this being said, international students often choose Canada because their colleges and universities have been highly acknowledged for their high academic standards. For instance, a Canadian degree, diploma, or certificate will be recognized around the world. Furthermore, unlike other countries, Canada offers a wide range of programs that provide international students with hands-on experiences, co-op learning, on-the-job training, and internships. Another benefit for international students studying in Canada is the cost of the education being more relatively affordable compared to the U.S and the U.K. For instance, tuitions fees are lower in Canada. Lastly, Canada’s post-secondary campuses delivers exciting campus lifestyle ranging from Olympic-quality sports facilities to public concert halls and art galleries.

I was more adept in the practical’s and hence used to spend more time in the laboratories. That childhood habit of going with father to his factory turned into a passion by now which led me to do an internship from National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO). There I had a close look at the application of mechanics and its related theories. It was a proper place for me to start my professional career as I got to learn a bit about corporate world too. Simultaneously, with the increasing role of computers in every field of engineering, I underwent career enhancing certificate courses like Computer Aided Design and 3DMax which helped me to learn various design aspects. These courses opened up a realm of possibilities, such as in the field of finite element analysis which I could never before have imagined. One aspect of these course was that I was required to analyse complex structure under various stages of loading and find their resonant frequencies using my own computer codes. Due to my interest in thermal and fluid sciences, Heat and Mass transfer, I submitted a project in my final year which was “Heat treatment of TMT

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

I always wondered, "what can be the substantial foundation of success in people's lives"? Throughout my life I came to realize that finding interests and passions is the most important aspect of every human life which eventually makes him feel positive and satisfied with himself. Furthermore, since this specific field is highly desired by that person, he can reach to significant and tremendous success by supplementing his dreams with perseverance and hard work. Ever since I can remember, I have always been a perfectionist, and it has been the sole impetus that has incentivized me over the years in my life alongside a strong educational and ethical philosophy that has been professed by my dear teachers and professors.

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

I have been very inquisitive and observant since my childhood. My family is closely related to machines as my paternal uncle owns a tool manufacturing factory. Right from my childhood, I have been intrigued by machines that I saw there. Good relations with my uncle and other people have paved my way towards choosing a career that is very closely related to machines. After passing my senior secondary school among top three students, I studied Mechanical Engineering at the National Institute of technology, Kurukshetra after securing the 8719th rank in All India Engineering entrance examination among 1.2 million students in the year 2012. The 4 years of my undergrads gave me a plethora of academic and industrial opportunities which bolstered my theoretical understanding.

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

Mathematics and physics are the main subjects involved in engineering and they have made the course even more interesting to me. I am looking forward to apply the concepts that I have learned from these subjects and I can certainly jump deeper into the world of physics and mathematics by attaining a degree in mechanical engineering. As the learning

Among the array of courses, subjects focusing on designs like Mechanics of Solid, Machine Drawing, Design of Machine members, Finite Element Method were the ones which brought out the true essence of Mechanical Engineering in depth of me. I initiated learning CATIA on my own. My first in hand exposure to this field of mechanical design was during the in-plant training at SEC Industries Pvt. Ltd, where I had a chance to observe the design of arresting hooks for aircrafts and nose cone for missiles. This experience guaranteed me how exciting and output oriented the scope of mechanical design could be in

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

Technology - application of practical science, driven by need. When people want to change, they usually turn first to the strategy of innovation. But what separates engineers from mere innovators is the ability to discriminate the importance of sustainable technological solutions for the future. My ability to be proactive in this matter makes me stand apart. In addition to finding out how a machine operates, I’ve always been interested in design aspects and monitoring the incipient faults occurring within machines. This urge has strengthened my ability to recognize the scope for improvement and also motivated me to look beyond the conventional functionalities of any machine.

Humans have a natural tendency to feel attraction towards mystery. When I was a kid, Machines were mysterious to me, to be completely forthright, it is as yet the same. Whenever I visited my grandfather’s machine shop then, those lifeless-creatures always enchanted me. In fact, my adolescence was surely brimming with doing all the fun things, at least to me. Splitting a toy, then dismantling its motors, later use them to make a water boat-electric fan was my regular activity. Since machines had lured me all my life, it was an obvious decision to choose mechanical engineering as my future endeavor. Now, after completing graduation from the Islamic University of Technology, a top-tier (OIC-Affiliate) and only international University of Bangladesh, I would like to pursue a career accomplishing a Ph.D. in the field of “Mechanical Engineering” as an ardent Mechanical Engineer. My personal interest, academic performance, brief exposure to research, professional experience and inquisitiveness led me to believe that it would not only allow me to expand my knowledge but also would give me the opportunity to obtain my eventual objective of taking up a research-oriented career in the field of mechanical engineering.

‘Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate and no nepotism can enslave’. Meditation of this quote has inspired me to excel in academics. My goal is to accomplish a challenging position in the field of Quality Engineering and deliver high-quality products and services to customers. My industrious efforts in Higher Secondary examinations and passion for science helped me gain direct admission in Mechanical Engineering at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, one of the renowned institutions in India.
