Statement Of Purpose For Materials Science

I am thinking of majoring in materials science and engineering at Cornell. I came to this conclusion because I enjoy working in the sciences. I picked engineering because I like the sciences and I would like to find a career where I can solve problems. I am thinking of working in materials science and engineering because I find it exciting. It encompasses the production of new crystals, ceramics, polymers, and metals. I would like to participate in such projects.

I pipetted the last of the product I created in the most recent trial of the experiment onto a small metal plate, placed the delicate square into a case, and hurried downstairs to the mass spectrometer. After carefully loading the plate and anxiously waiting for the graphs to pop up, my fellow lab mates came over in excitement to view the results of this latest run; we compared the graph with the theoretical yields. I sighed of relief once I realized that this trial had finally created the product necessary to proceed in the experiment. Getting one step closer to solving our problem was so rewarding. Very exciting; makes me want to read on

This process of manufacturing and my eventual love for mathematics and the sciences enthralled me into engineering to better improve the method of production of all products being commercial or military. The concept of discovering new, or refining old techniques have always interested me. The discipline of Chemical Engineering had been sparked in me during the years of high school and the application of physics and chemistry and the new theories that have arisen. The idea to research a better combustion engine or any engine at all, the production of the next big technological based material called graphene that has not yet had a very good production method for large, high quality sheets and other underlying enigmas in chemical engineering have aroused a mighty interest into this

Humans have always exploited their natural environment for all their needs including food, clothing and shelter. As the cultural development of humans continued, they looked for a greater variety of materials to cater for their needs. The 20th century saw an explosion in both the use of traditional materials and in the research and development of a wider range of materials to satisfy technological requirements. Developments added to this was a reduction in availability of the traditional resources to supply the increasing world population. Chemists and chemical engineer continue to play a pivotal role in the search for new sources of traditional materials such as those from the

Filled with shiny, colorful pictures of elements in their many applications, the book was my first in-depth introduction to chemistry. Two pages were dedicated to each element and explained the most common uses. I started to spend time pondering what was in some of the objects around me. I viewed objects more in their elemental sense rather than “plate material” or “cardboard material”. Since then, I’ve only tried to expand my knowledge of the chemical makeup of my world.

Every element is valuable and unique due to the endless arrangements of sub-atomic particles, which fascinates me. This allows for a diversity of elemental properties, sparking innovation for chemists to develop new products from different tasting chocolates to materials used for rockets- shaping society and the environment of the modern world. The sheer range of applications where chemistry is involved inspires me to contribute, while learning, unlocking why everything behaves the way it does.

He provides insight on how material science and stuff has affected civilizations in the past and how it will continue to influence civilizations in the future. Stuff Matters is an interesting and enlightening non-fiction book that changes one’s perception of stuff. Miodownik describes in detail how natural elements are manipulated by man to create man-made materials at the same minuscule scale that takes place in nature. Scientist over time have developed an increased knowledge of the chemistry and elements required to develop new materials used in advancing technology. Miodownik shares the

Ever since I was a child, I have always wanted to become a mosaic scientist; I loved the idea of collecting rocks and create images with them. However, as I grew older, engineering started to gain my interest,

Being a first generation college graduate, I epitomize the dreams and sacrifices made by my parents. They made it their life ambition to provide me with the best resources within their capacity. In my journey as a Chemical Engineer, I have experienced and appreciated the magnificence of Chemical Engineering - nano-scale to macro-scale, be it working in an R&D facility or professionally working as a Process Engineer in the Refinery.

“Chemical Engineering is not an easy major (at all), but if you can make it through to graduation day, you 'll be in demand” (“Chemical Engineering”). A chemical engineer converts substances at tremendous sizes to form new substances or energy for the overall advancement of human life ("What Is Chemical Engineering?"). I have chosen chemical engineering as my future career because the way things are made has always intrigued me. I yearn to comprehend the finite structure of the products we use in our day to day lives. Of course, knowing the career I would like to study is not enough. I must understand what type of schooling and skills will be required, the income and future of this career, along with the experience and attitude I will need to succeed in this field.

Although metallurgy and materials science studies dates back many centuries, its scope and popularity remain very little and novel in India. In a country where millions of mechanical, electrical and computer engineers are bred, very few materials engineers are produced. During my freshmen and sophomore year, I had courses in electronics and mechanical technology which blended and integrated mechanical engineering and electrical & electronics engineering with materials science. I was fascinated by the way Materials Engineering was breaching the wall between different fields of studies and promoting interdisciplinary study and research

The idea of seeing a project come to life is what provokes my desire to become an engineer. In the past, engineers have created the greatest historic innovations such as health technology. My passion for chemical engineering is seeing how the fundamental theories of Chemistry, Physics and Math can be applied to create an innovative industry. In very concrete ways, engineers

Chemical engineers play a vital role in the lives of everyone. For instance, they transform raw materials into something useful, analyse our food and purify our water for safe consumptions, generate electricity from fossil fuels, make plastics and most importantly make something more efficient which will have less impact to the environment. Without their hard work, a sustainable development is hard to be achieved. In 2050, it is estimated that the world population will increase up to 9.6 billion people. Of course, we never wished to see our future generations’ life being threatened by the long haul unfriendly impacts created by us. Our acts determine the future. Therefore, I want to be one of those people who can change the

Chemistry is ubiquitous and its prevalence is evident in everything right from environment, biology and even in technology. It is this versatility, which aids me in gaining insight in every field of science. Being a graduate in Bio-analytical Chemistry and Organic chemistry, my enthusiasm and inclination grew towards quantitative and qualitative analysis of natural and synthetic compounds in research laboratory. It is with this passion, I look forward to unravel the mystics of analytical chemistry through theoretical and practical knowledge. Therefore, I would like to apply for the Doctoral Program in Analytical Chemistry at University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth.

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.
