Personal Statement: My Philosophy Of 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.

It all started when I was 10, when my father gifted me a toy car for my birthday. I used to play with it all the time; I opened the parts just to see what it is made up of and how it works. On opening it, I saw various parts of which I had no idea and how each part performed to make my car move. I was eager to know the same then. Hence, the seed to my love for automobiles and machines in general was sown by the little toy car of mine. This passion of mine never subsided and it grew year after year. At the age of 18, I came across the TV show called “Mega Factories”, which is an exclusive and amazing documentary television series based on the major factories of popular companies. It gave me a deep insight into the field of machines and manufacturing.

In my undergraduate curriculum I have developed a very strong fundamental knowledge in subjects like Strength of materials, Fluid mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Manufacturing Process, Automotive engineering, Gas dynamics, Energy conversion and Mechatronics. I have secured First Class with Distinction in Mechanical Engineering with a CGPA of 9.00 and stood among top 10% students in Mechanical Engineering Department. Subjects such as I.C Engines, Theory of Machines, Machine Design and Automotive Engineering gave me a greater insight into the vast and intense field of Automotive

The excellent undergraduate program at MREC has not only provided me with strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, but also helped me widen my horizons in the various different fields. During my under graduation I was introduced to many subjects where I found my interest in courses such as engineering mechanics, production technology ,material science and laboratory subjects always have a major impact on my academic growth. I learned CAD, PRO-e, and C-LANGUAGE software’s. I completed my under graduation with

One of the most unsatisfying things one can endure in life is not accomplishing their goals. People in this generation don’t work for what they want. They tend to become comfortable with where they are at in life and don’t want to give the effort or risk losing what they have to make their dreams come true. On the other hand, there are those who will do whatever it takes to accomplish their life goals. One of the most satisfying things in life is accomplishing a goal well worked for, but it’s not very common to find people who will do this. The people who persevere through the toughest of times are the ones who will succeed; they are the ones whose dreams will come true.

Later in my plus two I had opted a stream which has its majors in Mathematics and Physics. Fortunately I got to know that these are the two subjects which are majorly required to be a good engineer. I strove hard to get a good command over the basics underlying these subjects and secured with good percentage. All these activities used as a driving force for me to take up mechanical engineering for my under graduation with an intense urge to delve into the challenging

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.

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

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.

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.

Engineering is the creative application of scientific principles to design/develop a product or a process. Thus the vast majority of products we commonly use in day to day living have been designed by an engineer, probably even the seat you are sat in right now. The field of engineering is near limitless and this is why I feel engineering is the subject for me, as there is always a tougher challenge.

The biggest learning from this course, as an Engineer, has been introduction to, and appreciation of, Philosophy’s applicability to engineering, which can be understood when engineering is seen as

Throughout the course of history everyone has had this sense of discovery and creativity and this would manifest into mechanical engineering. Ever since the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the steamboat and other different forms of transportation, mechanical engineers have had non-stop work and have played the leading role in this nation’s workforce. Throughout history they have built anything from railroad tracks to houses. Anything they were told to build they built and they built good.. The problem though with mechanical engineering is that even though they are the most needed job, they do not get the funding that they need to complete their jobs. They expect them to build rockets, roads, and even schools, but they have constraints because of the amount of money that they get to do these jobs. They work hard with the tight money budget that they are given, but they always get the job done in the end even if it takes them a bit longer to get it done.

I would spend hours together experimenting and analyzing various mechanics around me like the ball bearings in my bicycle & roller skates and would be fascinated by my spring loaded toy cars. During my higher secondary schooling, I showed special interest in mathematics and physical sciences and in order to supplement the education that I received in school, I became a habitual reader of science magazines and books. As a direct consequence of this, I came to know about the latest developments in the field of science and engineering, especially aerospace and manufacturing engineering as it deeply interested me and I was naturally inclined to like the subject. The basics I learnt in school only whetted my appetite for more learning. It was but natural I would choose to take up manufacturing engineering as a career choice when I joined
