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

Mechanical Engineering has always been something of major importance in the world. Technology such as computers and automobiles won’t be possible without the work of mechanical engineers across the globe. Being a very complex field, it was not something that was developed over night, in fact; overtime thousands of brilliant minds have contributed to this field throughout history. The evolution of Mechanical Engineering is evident through the work of mechanical engineers like James Watt, Charles Babbage, Kate Gleason, and Rudolph Diesel. Mechanical Engineering is Important to society because without the engineers there wouldn’t be half of the cars, merchandise, or technology out there.

The boundless possibilities and prompt outcomes are what I find most energizing and alluring about Industrial Engineering. I have a great interest towards the industrial environment and this is the reason I am looking to pursue Master’s in Industrial Engineering. The factor in the recent times is that there have been huge changes in Design Engineering and Global Industrialization making the position of an Industrial Engineer a very essential one. Being part of this rapidly flourishing community has been my ultimate desire.

Mechanical engineering may seem like an abstract and unimportant concept to the average person, yet mechanical engineering has been around since the beginnings of humanity. Mechanical engineering is everywhere and we see the results of it in our lives every day. Most objects that we encounter, such as a pencil or a doorknob, have gone through some form of mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is a branch of engineering that uses the generation and application of heat and mechanical power to produce, fix, and design products. This benefits society and improves the lives numerous amounts of people all over the world. Mechanical engineering is useful to society through technology and inventions and without it society would be completely different. Using basic fundamental principles of mechanical movements to create technology and inventions is key to the process of mechanical engineering.

The secret of mankind’s success, strength, and glory is knowledge. Knowledge is not something we are born with. It is through curious observation and constant learning the wealth of knowledge is amassed. I believe that even if a Subject is mile away from the reach of our contemplation, it can be learnt much through research and experience.

Learning makes a man fit company for him. This maxim impressed me right from my childhood days to learn something new each day, learn, learn and relearn until my end. My decision to apply for MS Industrial engineering has emerged, both from my passion for research and my aspiration to understand the language of mechanical engineering. Industrial engineering offers unlimited scope of research, innovate & create value through latest cutting-edge techniques which I intend to learn in the US, a research based highly developed economy. I believe the MS Program at your esteemed university is of paramount importance for me to succeed in my goal of entrepreneurship, which in turn, will fulfill twin objectives – helping society through job creation besides an outlet for my creativity.

Then, I felt that I must return to my academic studies to learn the advanced concepts, techniques and strategies involved in it in detail. A Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering will help me achieve this. I would therefore utilize the skills obtained from this program for improving quality and deliver high- quality products and services to

I always wanted to get into the greatest of all Sciences, i.e. engineering. The good thing about Mechanical Engineering is that all my interests find application. Considered the most versatile field in engineering, Mechanical Engineering covers range of subjects like design, software, production analysis, manufacturing to name a few. This field demands high creativity, innovative thinking, very good hold on Math and most important to think radically. This triggers the pulses and is the very reason for choosing this as my field of study. My experiences as a student of …. the training, the projects, the tough targets etc. has brought me very close to realities of life and made me realize that starting from simple household gadgets to complicated medical equipment and supersonic jets to super-fast computers all are the gifts of Mechanical engineering and technology and I am indeed one of the privileged few

Continuous knowledge gain of scientific theories, inventions, discoveries, machineries and the physics around me laid a path which helped me to take a direction in choosing Mechanical Engineering.

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.

Engineering has been my passion from the start. I took the first step to become an engineer by securing 80.3% in SSC and 91% in HSC. Graduating with 8.755 CGPA in my undergraduate studies is proof that I have a strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering. During the studies, the subjects Internal Combustion Engines, Automobile Engineering, Thermodynamics, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, design of transmission systems captivated my interest and also I had the opportunity to

I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.

Industrial Engineering is probably one of the most versatile and varying fields of engineering. There are so many routes an individual can take with an industrial engineering degree because the subject is applicable to so many areas, and this trait is one of the most attractive characteristics of the major to me.

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

It is one of the oldest branches of engineering. One of the appealing features is that the field is broad and diverse. All in all mechanical engineering offers a wide bouquet of job options to students who are looking for a stable and stimulating career.
