Purpose For A Career In Engineering

Through my post-secondary education in Electrical Engineering, I hope to make a lot of positive differences to the Canadian Society. One of them would be in the Energy sector, which would make two positive differences to the Canadian society.

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.

However, although Generation’s research includes climate change as major theme, other themes such as poverty/real needs and human capital are also imperative issues when looking at investment possibilities, and as coal is “an inevitable power source for the country”, an ethically ‘green’ company such as Generation could support future investments in building cleaner, more sustainable coal plants. Additionally, ABB India “offers turnkey systems and services for transmission and distributions for power grid and power plants” (Exhibit 8). These are implemented by the company to focus on energy efficiency and improve performance showing a clear positive approach in enabling a less wasteful grid system. As India is heavily dependent on coal, with forecasts portraying that is it the largest CO2 emitting country after the U.S and China, dedication to reduce CO2 levels is likely to be a slow process. Also as increased international competition from other multinational companies is

Finding out how and why things work and discovering how products are made has always my passion. I regularly watch engineering and science shows on the television. From my childhood, I have always been a very curious person who would not believe just because someone told me, but I had to know the reason behind it. Science always fascinated me, and I always wondered how we remained on the ground and never fell off something that is spherical. In school I was more interested in maths and science rather than History or Arts and this made me choose Chemistry, maths and physics as my Higher subjects. This has helped me appreciate how Science has been utilised to improve man’s life and make it easier. It is because of this that I would like to

This summer, I had the opportunity to intern at Pratt & Whitney Engines, a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation, in East Hartford, CT. Pratt & Whitney is one of the largest aircraft engine makers, for both commercial and military aircraft in the world, with over 31,000 employees that support more than 11,000 customers around the world. Within Pratt & Whitney, there are several areas of operation. I worked in their Propulsion Systems Analysis in the vehicle systems analysis group. While working at Pratt & Whitney I had the opportunity to work on quite a few projects, including looking at a hybrid electric engine concept, which was my main project for the semester.

The journey toward gaining more knowledge has carried me to different schools in multiple states. Visiting KACARE, King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, in Saudi Arabia during my tenure as a Teacher Assistant, assisted fuel my interest. By 2032, Saudi Arabia will generate 54 GW of its power via renewable energy resources. In fact, all of these factors, the global efforts toward low carbons outcomes and ongoing researches and projects in my country, paved the road to shape my future carrier as well as to pursue doctoral program in this realm of interest. Therefore, my area of interest lies in the field of energy delivery and power

Abstract—This paper will discuss the topic of small-scale Renewable Energy (RE) technologies, their progress and prospects in developing countries. Specifically, five technologies will be given a closer look: tidal array, geothermal, anaerobic digestion, small-scale hydro (micro and mini), and small combined heat and power (CHP). The paper will explain the technologies and the setting in which they can be applied, and look at case studies from developing countries where small-scale RE are making a difference. A particular look at those five small-scale technology has been chosen since some of them are underdeveloped and show promising potential for installations. The paper will conclude by describing the potential development prospects in terms of markets where these technologies could, respectively, expand.

In recent years with growing concerns over carbon emission and uncertainties in fossil fuel supplies, there is an increasing interest in clean and renewable electrical energy generation. Among various renewable

The preferred location for a power station from the cooling water view point is near a river or sea coast. But nearly two-thirds of India’s power plants are located in water-scarce or water-stressed areas. And nearly 80 % of

Renewable power generation can help countries meet their sustainable development goals through provision of access to clean, secure, reliable and affordable energy. Renewable energy has gone mainstream, accounting for the majority of capacity additions in power generation today. Tens of gigawatts of wind, hydropower and solar photovoltaic capacity are installed worldwide every year in a renewable energy market that is worth more than a hundred billion USD annually. Other renewable power technology markets are also emerging. Recent years have seen dramatic reductions in renewable energy technologies’ costs as a result of research and development (R&D) and accelerated deployment.

At NITC, the curriculum grounded my knowledge in both theoretical and experimental aspects of physics. Among the courses I credited, my penchant for Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics stimulated me to conduct a literature survey on the Tripropellant Rocket Propulsion System. Attending the Aerodynamics course aided me to gain a grasp of the fluid mechanics and honed my computational skills in Matlab simulation. In my junior year, participation in a seminar on the topic “Future of wind and solar powers in India” augment my perception of renewable energies. I delivered a presentation on the possibility of transforming the energy

My interest and work in heat transfer continued into my final year B.Tech project. I worked on development of design charts of cryostats for my undergraduate thesis. I performed a finite volume analysis of liquid Nitrogen and liquid Helium cryostats using ANSYS to analyze heat loss through various insulations and thermal stresses experienced by cryostat body. I developed data charts to design cryostats of given capacity and boil-off rate for

“India’s power market is growing faster than most other countries. With an installed generation capacity of 147 GW, generation of more than 600 billion kWh, and a

Rapidly increasing energy demand and growing concern about economic and environmental consequences call for effective and thorough energy governance in India. (Ahn & Gracyzk, 2012)
