Statement Of Purpose For MS Mechanical Engineering

In this letter of intent, I am going to focus on the purpose of studying Industrial Engineering further at the post-graduate level. I have chosen University name because I feel it will best prepare me to fulfill my future career objectives. I jot down my Statement of Purpose with due respect to the Department and the University.

“One man’s “magic” is another man’s engineering”, these words by Robert A. Heinlein have always fascinated me and makes me feel proud to be an engineer. Engineering is a field that improves the quality of life of people by creating ways to live better, think better and make the society more productive. Thus it has touched people’s lives since centuries.

Albert Einstein’s words, “Difficulties cannot be solved at the same plane of alertness that created them.” interested me right from my school days and with single-minded allegiance I focused my attention throughout my career in school and college to increase my level of awareness to understand life and the associated problems.

A graduate school will help me understand processes and industrial equipment better. It will provide me a wider definition for the word engineering than what it is today. It will allow me to apply practically all the concepts that I learn which will prepare me better for working in the industry or for research. I feel pursuing my Master’s at …………. will further enhance my abilities and hone my skills. A blend of academic inclination and a host of values gained from my varied experiences will make my association with ………..a mutually beneficial

(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.

This is a crucial time for me to reflect on the various roads my career could take, as I am about to complete my undergraduate education in a few months. I am doing my B.Tech in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering from Manipal Institute of Technology, Karnataka, India, which is among the top engineering colleges in India. The time that I spent here, learning about the various mechanisms that make the world go forward, has really helped me understand where my interests lie and where I can make a subtle yet noticeable difference in this world. So I pen down my statement of purpose in front of you.

As a high school student I was bright, ambitious and one of the most enthusiastic students in my school. After being diagnosed with pilocytic astrocytoma, a benign brain tumor at the age of 18, I had to opt out of my school. I underwent an 8 hour long invasive surgery followed by 3 months of radiation therapy and rigorous physiotherapy sessions. During the treatment, I met with many people who had met similar fate but wanted to lead a normal life just like me. After a year with the god’s grace, ingenious doctors, family support and my new found will, I was diagnosed completely free of the tumor. I told myself that miracles do happen and promised myself that I will make this count. After facing difficulties with my right hand, I began writing with my left hand and passed 12th grade with distinction.

Mechanical Engineering, as a discipline, has always captivated me since a very young age. I am of the opinion that my liking for this field stems from the fact that I have always been drawn towards machinery, particularly cars, and how they work. Ever since I was young, my parents always instilled in me the need to work hard and focus on achieving the goals that I set out to accomplish. As I gradually rose through the ranks in education, one class at a time, my passion for mechanics steadily developed. It is for this reason that after completing high school, I decided to pursue a career in the engineering world.

The constant urge to explore about things around me always motivates me to keep myself updated. I believe that Mechanical Engineering was the perfect choice for me as it gave me the vast knowledge of how the world around us works. My fascination for Industrial Engineering was cultivated in the first year of my undergraduation. During my first industrial visit to Caparo Manufacturing Unit, Sriperambudur, Chennai, I observed that one team was dedicated to analyse the product outcome along with efficiency and another team was working on finding engineering solutions based on the drawbacks, for optimisation. This drew my attention as I too have the tendency to find solutions. This visit sparked my interest in this field, and I felt as if it represented my calling.

I believe that the 21st century belongs to people with the ability to dream far beyond the existing reality and having the potential to realize those dreams. Behind every great invention there is bold dream equipped with curiosity and hard work.

Some people are motivated by money, others by recognition and then there are those of us who are motivated purely by our curiosity. Like most children of an early age, I always asked "why?" often questioning the purpose of any modifications my dad made to his cars. The older I got, the more advanced my questions became and eventually he ran out of answers, which has since encouraged me to find them for myself.

A labor intensive medium sized firm “Omega Technical Services Ltd” was established in mid 1950s. The main focus of Omega was to provide technical services to the different clients mostly from engineering sector. Omega consists of 180 full

I am in pursuit of a life where the education I choose lets me explore the wealth of knowledge and wisdom. I strongly recognize that manufacturing engineering is the domain where my purpose and passion mingle. It is my earnest belief that the education in manufacturing engineering that I have received until now has helped me to grasp the fundamental principles of the subject. This knowledge, when coupled with dedicated master’s study would be the ideal preparation for a career in applied research or academics in the manufacturing industry, a vast field of science from developing new materials to manufacture an aircraft. After giving a visit to an Aero India Show last year in Bangalore has, developed a curiosity in me to know the manufacturing world of an aerospace industry. It is for this reason that I wish to pursue a Masters course in Aerospace Engineering in the “Aerospace Structures and Materials track” from Delft University of Technology.

　　　　 It is with a sincere sense of gratitude towards the opportunity given to me, I pen down this statement. Education not only expands the horizons of one's knowledge but also simultaneously implants an insatiable desire to acquire more and more knowledge. Knowledge is that which can enhance the strength of mind and there by expand the intellect of man. It is that which can transcend the limits of the time and take mankind beyond those limits to the timeless eternity. The knowledge, which science and technology had provided for the mankind has always fascinated me and had left an indelible impression on my mind to envisage my goals and aims ahead.

As I pen down my statement of purpose, my life so far races through my mind. In this concise piece of writing, various professional milestones achieved so far in my life, which commingle bring out my persona as to who I am and also justify my aspiration to reach the dizzy heights of a techno-leader and become a pioneer in the field of my choice.
