I am applying to your Engineering Undergraduate Apprenticeship (Sponsored Degree). Currently I am in my last year of school, studying for my A levels at St.Anselms College. Choosing to study Mathematics and Physics was an easy choice for me, as they go hand in hand and provide a broad range of opportunities with a set of skills that I believe can be extremely useful in many lines of work. Especially in aeronautics and aircraft manufacturing where Physics is used throughout every process to ensure that everything works and operates as it should.
When I heard about this opportunity I immediately became intrigued with the thought of studying to attain an engineering degree, whilst at the same time becoming a part of a huge company and gaining valuable work experience as an engineer. I believe the choices I made when I was younger and the subjects I enjoyed would lead me into this type of work. For example choosing to take the Further Mathematics GCSE qualification really gave me a fantastic foundation for my first year of A Level Mathematics. It also shows

Aeronautics has always interested me from when I first travelled on an aircraft as a child.
The processes of how things are made and how they work has always fascinated me and I think that this has had a huge impact on why I love solving problems, understanding how things work and using tools and machinery. These are prime qualities for any engineer, which is why I am a perfect candidate for this scheme. Airbus, as a leading aircraft manufacturer has a very large and expanding variety of horizons and options for someone such as myself. This amazing company, producing the world’s largest commercial aircraft is definitely something I would like to be a part of. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that would be a great shame to miss out on and I believe I have exactly what is required to excel in this
Mob mentality can affect a person or group to take actions without thinking clearly, and just follow the crowd/actions of other people nearby. William Golding’s novel, The Lord of the Flies, and the article “Herd Behavior”, both address the central theme/idea of how mob mentality can affect an individual or group of people. This relates to Golding’s novel on how the boys often do reckless actions all together without thinking ahead/properly of the imaginable consequences. Most people who wish to fit into society take dangerous actions. In the text it is stated, “All at once the crowd swayed toward the island and was gonefollowing Jack.
In 2000, Airbus Industrie’s Supervisory Board was making the biggest decision in the company history: whether Airbus should commit to develop world’s largest jumbo jet. At that time, there are only two major commercial jets manufactory companies: the younger Airbus and the bigger Boeing. Boeing had been at the forefront of civil aviation for over half century. Airbus was founded in 1970as a consortium and merged into a new company known as European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company. Airbus developed “fly-by-wire” technology and “cross crew qualification” technology to compete with Boeing in large jets (those with 70 or more seats) market. While Airbus was booked more than
A highly motivated and hardworking individual, who has recently completed their A-Levels, achieving excellent grades in both Maths and Science. Seeking an apprenticeship in the engineering industry to build upon a keen scientific interest and start a career as a maintenance engineer. Eventual career goal is to become a fully-qualified and experienced maintenance or electrical engineer, with the longer-term aspiration of moving into project management.
Up to this point, my hands on engineering experience is scarce. I am a member of exactly zero robotics clubs, I have taken apart exactly zero computers, and I have made exactly zero technical gizmos. One might say my experience begins and ends at the lego creations of my childhood (although I was more interested in destroying them than actually making them). I think my lack of experience is actually part of what makes me a great candidate for this scholarship.
Have you ever wanted to build, fly, or design an airplane? What about design or test a military missile? Are you interested in air or space travel? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might have what it takes to be a Aerospace Engineer. I like to interact with things that fly; like missiles, space shuttles, airplanes, and much more. This is the reason that I decided to go into Aerospace engineering.
As a mechanical engineering student at the University of Windsor, I have cultivated a unique set of skills that would be tremendously useful in the field. During my time at the university, I have designed and engineered machine parts using specialised software such as AutoCAD and Catia. In addition, working with a group
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.
In preschool, I was taught about many amazing machines that mankind had created. But, despite the X-Rays and the lasers that stood out to my classmates, I believed that the coolest machine was the airplane. Every since then, my goal has been to become an aeronautical engineer, or someone who designs
Admittedly, aircrafts have made valuable contributions to the field of transportation. From childhood, I have been genuinely captivated by the intricate engineering behind the design of space crafts, space shuttles and airplanes. Aerospace engineers often encounter a set of unique challenges as they apply mathematical and scientific knowledge to design and build such novel inventions. Of all the A-level subjects, Physics and Mathematics have always been my best suits. In essence, Physics relates physical phenomena using simplified formulas and theories while Mathematics provides the basis of solving complex problems. In particular, I learnt and appreciated how to relate theory to calculations while studying Mathematics at A-level in the mechanics module. When combined, the A-level science subjects have offered me valuable insights into the field of aerospace engineering.
In a fast-paced working environment, aerospace engineers work with computers, process information, analyse data, and make decisions to solve problems. They can be found working at any corporation that makes planes, helicopters, missiles, spacecraft, and everything else that flies. The aerospace engineering field can be narrowed down to aeronautical
I am getting my degree because I want to inspire others to explore careers and professions that quite often underrepresent people of diverse backgrounds. Many social, business, and personal products used today are typically created with a euro-centric type mindset and can neglect to meet underlying needs or wants of different groups of people. Studying Computer Science will allow me to use my personal identities and experiences to create programs that will be innovative in attending to qualities and entities that are often lost in the bigger
Firstly, my passion for aviation began when I took a solo trip to Missouri to visit my cousins. Although I enjoyed trips, I mostly enjoyed the airplane journey. As I boarded the 737 Boeing aircraft,
I’ve always loved math and science in school, no matter how challenging the class may be. The idea of figuring how and why things work, in addition to applying this knowledge and helping others, has always been appealing to me. I’m a very hands-on learner and my favorite part of my current Geophysical Science class is doing labs. Recently, my class made prototype wind turbine blades and tested whose would produce the most energy. My group made ours out of lightweight cardstock and wire supports, and came in first place. For these reasons, I would like to be an engineer.
Engineering is an exciting field that I believe will be enjoyable, challenging, and above all, intuiting to undertake at university. I believe pursuing engineering means exceeding your expectations and making a
Money and fame do not motivate my goals. Engineering in all forms is a field of innovation and invention. Aspirations of any great engineer should be to introduce to the world a new idea, product, or service that will make people happier and the environment safer. Success in these challenges is a reward greater than any dollar amount or public recognition. Engineers bring societies to new levels of civilization through their advancements in technology and discovery. The challenge to provide people with ever-increasing standards while at the same time feeding the population with ideas of what could be attracts my imagination, intelligence, and curiosity far more
