Statement Of Purpose For Engineering

The first engineering class that I attended was quite surprising. My perception of engineering had always been of technical equations and solving complex issues. This class on the other hand introduced me to the work of Raymond B. Landis who wrote the book studying engineering. The book was a revelation to me as it articulated what aclass engineering student is a student who has mastered the tools of success, is confident and determined.

From my initial studies of mathematics, science and calculus including physics, I began to realize that mechanical engineering is an innate strength I have. The combining of these areas has given me a strong foundation to excel in this specific area of engineering, as solving the complex calculation challenges are fascinating to me. Being able to learn more in-depth techniques in the area of calculus, mathematics and physics motivate me to learn more. My

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 am Kristoph. I was always fascinated on how machineries work and make our lives easier and, also how structural complexity has engineered the world into another dimension. That is how I was inspired to consider studying civil engineering as my main course. I was determined that one day, I will be in the position to design the complexity structure in my country at an extent while considering the potential how environmental hazard. However, the idea of studying civil engineering was not supported by my families, they had different thought that medicine is a better option in comparison to civil engineering.

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.

“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 the end. My decision to apply for MS in mechanical engineering has emerged, both from my passion for research and my aspiration to understand the concepts of engineering. MS in Mechanical Engineering can provide me with the platform to further improve and ultimately refine my knowledge and skills in my areas of interest. Right from my childhood, when I started understanding little things I have been fascinated with the world of the machines that made life easier. My passion for mechanical engineering only grew with time as I kept on finding out about how things function around us like bikes, cars, and machinery etc. I believe the MS program from your esteemed university is pivotal for me as quality, knowledge and impeccable guidance will mold me to be in the learning mode all my life, opening the way for constant growth as a person and a professional. So I wanted to become an engineer and satisfy my inquisitive nature. This keen enthusiasm made to opt for a career in this field.

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.

(Just an example…….The Paris Climate Accord of limiting rise of global to 2 degree C strikes fear and inspire my desire to contribute to this effort in my ambition as a Mechanical engineer.) Lhe serious demand of clean sustainable energy has led to inventions such as Tesla electrical cars which are on par performance-wise with petrol-powered vehicles in addition to their immense scale down on harmful emissions. This is the aspiration that all engineers need to have, which is the desire to create something more versatile and closer to that of an ideal device.

I was born in a family of sociologist, economist, zoologist and mathematician as they are respectively my mother, uncle, aunt and grandfather. Amid these intellectuals, my uncle, a mechanical engineer is the most renowned. A Fulbright scholar and pioneer of “Renewable Energy Research” in Nepal, growing up he was my role model; I was his favorite kid among others too. My uncle once said “We engineers are the problem solvers and our service is commensurate to the number of people we solve the problems for.” His altruism was compelling and I have been inspired eversince. Having had introduced to Mechanical Engineering by him, it became a motivation for me to ensure it with machines and vehicles. I was fascinated on how a machine with so many components could be arranged with such a perfect sync to produce a desired result. Thus, my determination, strong academic forte in mathematics and physics, my curiosity towards learning about machines and the desire to emulate my role model was the reason I singled out Mechanical engineering for my under-graduate study.

I have worked on a few projects, participated in various industrial training programs and competitions. Subjects like Engineering Mechanics, Automobile Engineering, Mechatronics, and Machine Design revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of Mechanical Engineering. My final year project was on "Thermo-Mechanical and Vibrational Analysis on I.C. Engine Piston” where I got an opportunity to lead the project which not only helped me gain knowledge of design applications in Mechanical Engineering but secured me a first class. This project was taken up with a goal to know its working conditions and material properties. The 4 years under-graduate course had not only provided me strong fundamentals but had encouraged me to learn more and guided me to continue research related

Passionate, Curiosity to ask till you are convinced and Clarity such that it sounds simple but not simpler. The quench for this would be fulfilled by understanding the unknown and what lies undiscovered. Intrigued by the laws of nature I have always been inquisitive about science and technology and how it can be most useful to the society. Also over the years, I have developed a deep interest in a combination of technology and how it can be most useful to the society. I also have developed an interest in a combination of technologies using electronics and computers. My special inclination towards Electrical Engineering has been primarily because of subjects namely Microprocessors, Microcontrollers and Computer Organization which I learned during my undergraduate program. I am equally fascinated by the processors or microcontrollers used in our computers and smart phones and the amazing number of possibilities they can be made in. I am strongly determined to learn the working of these systems and pursue a research career in the same. Hence, I resolved that pursuing M.S. will be an ideal step towards the achievement of my goal.

As a Mechanical Engineering undergraduate student with an ardent interest in the industrial work environment, I have learnt the principles of mechanical engineering those are applicable to most machines, tools and processes which naturally widens my scope of learning and research. This has intrigued me to explore the option of pursuing master’s course in Mechanical Engineering from your prestigious University, which I believe will not only supplement my knowledge that I have acquired but also provide me with the best possible platform for the attainment of my future goals. I draw my inspiration towards this field from my mechanical engineer father who serves as a Mechanical Supervisor in a government run organization, National Fertilizers Limited. He was the one who introduced me to machines like Lathe Machine, Gear Cutting Machine, Hydraulic Cutting Machine, Steam Turbines, Compressors etc. and plants like Steam Generation Plant, Ammonia Plant at a very impressionable age. This naturally triggered in me a desire to know more about what happens inside these machines and the reason behind their precise and accurate working. Also, my frequent visits to the industry enabled me to retain as well as enhance my keen interest in the field and thus, influenced me to pursue my undergraduate course in Mechanical Engineering.

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

My fascination for Science led me to take up the science stream in my higher education. Also, participation in several science projects and expos during my school days made me seek clarity in the way I perceived concepts of basic sciences. This abiding interest helped me to score first class with distinction in my Board exams (10th & 12th).When the time came to choose an undergraduate program, one of the most significant decisions in life as it will lead to one’s career, an astute decision was made, based on factors ranging from inspiration, untapped interests and inherent skills to scope and satisfaction. I singled out mechanical engineering stream as it is the foundation to various other disciplines and specializing in any other field later on would be more beneficial. This led me to take up Mechanical engineering at one of the top colleges in India. The well-balanced curriculum at Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (SVCE) Anna University has provided me with a comprehensive exposure to the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering.
