Statement Of Purpose For MS In Mechatronics

Staring at engine components of a car as well as holding a smartphone with almost unbelievable thickness fascinated me in many ways indirectly leaded me into getting to know more through different sources about machines ranging from transportation to communication devices. Two years of A-level preparation, further solidified my interest in this area as I found myself very fond of learning mathematics, physics and mechanics in particular. In addition, my curiosity in the operation and dynamics of objects naturally influences my choice of degree, leading me towards Engineering as it is a discipline which satisfy my own interest and most probably bring out the best of me.

First of all, I would like to explore my field of study. I intended to major Manufacturing Engineering Technology when I transfer into Western Michigan University after I graduated in Associate in Science from Kellogg Community College in August 2016. I have chosen this program to be my field of study in the University because of what I had learned about its career field. After doing some researches on the Internet and meet a career advisor, I believe that this career path fits my personal abilities and interest the best. I also like the academic courses that required for this field in order to earn a bachelor degree from such as Mathematics and Physics.

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

Everyday, we use a plethora of products. From the toothbrush in the morning, to a fork during lunch and a pillow in the night. They all have one thing in common: they were made by engineers, engineers who have always asked the question “How to make products with the highest quality possible with the given resources?” This concept has fascinated me from the inception of my college days. This fascination along with my strong academic base makes me want to pursue Industrial and Systems Engineering for my graduate study.

This quote from Carol Dweck (Professor of Psychology at Stanford University) has inspired me the way I go about in my life. The belief in continuous learning with the optimistic approach towards hard work, learning and doggedness has always been my motivation. My plans for a master’s degree are centered on the motive of productive research contribution in transportation engineering.

I wish to introduce myself as “name”, a prospective student aspiring to pursue my Masters in Management Information Systems in your esteemed institution. In the changing field of Engineering, Technology and Management where each new day sees a spate of new concepts and applications and each passing day makes them obsolete, I wish to be part of this change and transcend new horizons. I am keen to continue my academic pursuit in this direction where these three core aspects of everyday life, combines.

One of the first and most common questions I get bombarded with is “Why did you choose Mechanical Engineering?” as girls taking up the course is considered quite an oddity. As a child, I had frequently visited my uncle’s plastics manufacturing company. Among everything that I saw there, what fascinated me the most was the harmony in the synchronization of so many different sub systems which eventually amalgamate as one, forming a complex working system. Realizing my interest and my aptitude in physics, my mom gifted me the book ‘Principles of Physics’ (Halliday, Resnick & Walker, 2010) when I was in the eleventh grade. The book opened new doors for me and I began to really enjoy the process and techniques used in problem solving. Once the intoxication of the pleasure of reaching a solution for a problem after

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.

“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.

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

My good grades in pre-university opened the doors to one of the most prestigious colleges in the country and one of the most sought after branches, Electrical and Electronics Engineering as my graduate stream seamlessly fit in. Every subject in this discipline intrigued me in its own way. My passion for science and technology grew with time as I learnt about the various facets of my field of specialization. In college, I always enjoyed long hours in the laboratories. It gave me the opportunity to correlate theory to practical phenomena. This in turn gave me a better understanding, insight of the subject and newer line of thinking. Very soon, I began to appreciate the advancements in the technology and took a keen interest in Robotics and Internet of Things. The course in Electrical and Electronics covered a wide panorama of

Ever since my childhood, I used to fix things at home. Sometimes it would work and other times it would go down the drain. As a kid, I’ve experimented on simple toys to various machines used at home which was obsolete. I was intrigued as to how machines worked and wanted to explore more about them. I remember a day when I fixed something at my home and everyone praised me. It was then that I realized that I had a thing for machines and this paved for my interest in Mechanical Engineering. During the process of study in this field of engineering and from the scientific world around me, I clearly felt the prominence of it in the field of science. Since then, I have been determined to pursue a Master’s program in Mechanical

Moreover, my innate strengths have always been creative abilities and power of imagination; which made me take up a discipline that would allow me to channel them in the best possible way. I have finished my bachelor of technology in mechanical engineering with 8.75 CGPA out of 10. Subjects like Elements of Mechanical Engineering, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, Strength of material, Manufacturing Processes, Mechanical Design & Analysis, Mechanical Vibrations etc., revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
