Statement Of Purpose For Mechanical Engineering

Inclinations to elevate the efficiency of any activity by seeking scope for improvement in aspects that are overlooked by others characterize me as a human being. Since childhood, I have always sought excellence in all pursuits by trying to innovate on levers that streamline their functions. Meticulous attention and analytical approach have been my distinctive traits and I persevere to improve upon them with every milestone in my life.

According to projected job employment in the year, 2018, mechanical engineering will have an estimated quarter of a million jobs nationwide. This is an increase of roughly 6% between 2008 and 2018. As the need for better, more economical necessities, a need for mechanical engineers will always be on the uplift. Many mechanical engineers “research, design, develop, manufacture, and test tools, engines, machines, and other mechanical devices.” (Bureau, 4). This branch, within the engineering field,

Mechanical Engineering is the field of progress. The men and women who chose this path embody both analytical and creative thinking. Mechanical Engineering branches into a multitude of different specialities. “Mechanical engineering is the broadest specialization within the engineering fields” (Fogg, Harrington, and Harrington, 363). The field branches into a myriad of job opportunities such as: mechanical engineering, management and executive positions, other fields of engineering, sales occupations, marketing, insurance and securities, real estate, business services, computer engineers and programers, accounting, systems-development, and research. Approximately 25% of mechanical engineers specialize in designing equipment and processes (Fogg, Harrington, and Harrington, 367). About 90% of those who graduate with a degree in mechanical engineering find a career that is closely related to their major (Fogg, Harrington, and Harrington, 368). Those who choose not to work in the field usually chose jobs that are still loosely related to their major. Most credit a change in interests or opportunities for promotion as their reason for changing their field of study (Fogg, Harrington, and Harrington, 365). On average, mechanical engineering has an extremely high employment rate, however that rate is predicted to decline between 2010 and 2020 (Franceschetti, 164). Approximately 60% of mechanical engineers enjoy regular employment, and 92% of mechanical engineers under the age of

At first, I gained an understanding of the roles of engineers in society and their contribution in it. This gave me the awareness to persist with my research of the roles of engineers in the present and in the future. By reviewing articles on the internet, I realised the changes that needed to be made to my research, which were to focus the research into the many aspects of engineering such as sustainability, problems faced by engineers and the impacts of new technology in engineering.

While I was attending one of my classes, the professor asked us a surprising question regarding our purpose for studying at University of Miami. The question was whether our goal is to claim the Bachelor degree or expanding our knowledge about the major we’re studying? I was completely shocked by the question because I have never thought about studying engineering in this perspective. All I wanted was to get the Bachelor degree in order to secure my future. I kept thinking about this question for almost a week, until I realized that a person can gain more than just a degree during his college time. Therefore, in this paper I will discuss three main aspects that I learned in this semester which are: being a

I remember when I was in elementary school taking a trip to a food manufacturer and seeing the scope and size of big manufacturing plants really changed the way I viewed my future. It is often said the success of a society in this modern world is often closely tied to what it produces and the quantity it is able to produce these products. I have always had a fascination with how things that we rely on everyday are made. This drove me to decide that I would pursue a career in mechanical engineering technology because it revolved around the very things I like doing the most. Mechanical engineering technology is a broad and expansive career field that can take me many places as will be described further.

In today’s rapidly growing world technology is advancing in multiple folds, so to manage it in an efficient way is a need of an hour. In a constrained workplace management of the technology is inevitable. Since my academics, I have been driven by the wonders of science and technology around us and going forward I want to foster the skills to manage the technology oriented organizations. After completing my undergraduate in Industrial engineering I worked in managerial role in marketing department of technical products, so I realized the significance of both technology and management in globalized world. In order to hone my skills I recognized that engineering management is an apt course to equip me with required skillset. Engineering Management is a specialized form which is concerned with the application of engineering principles to business practice. It focuses on marketing, finance, law and business management; subjects which I

I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.

I always wanted to get my hands working, whether it be playing with Legos, building computers, or just helping a friend with school projects. I enjoy creating and designing the next best thing or improvements on existing products. These qualities points to engineering as the career best suited for my interest, with mechanical engineering being the field perfect for my skill sets. However, this career is not a full proof plan. Just like any other profession, it has some downsides and problems. Some problems in this field include: a shortage of engineers, lack of proper education, and jobs being lost to robots. These problems can get worse in time as the population rises and as technology advances.

The need for Mechanical engineers is expected to increase with in the next 10-20 years(Mechanical Engineers). This is true for developed and underdeveloped nations. The need does not only include those who will build and fix problems, but those who design and can use such software required for much of the designing prosses.

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.

The purpose of this report is to design my process to become a "World Class" Engineering student. This will help me become a better engineering student and In this report I will discuss my goals and plans to become a better engineering student. My goal is to earn a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and then find a career as a mechanical engineer. In order to achieve my goals I will have to have a plan and then work hard to stay on track in order to be successful engineering student. I will also have to continuously revaluate and update my plans and goals every quarter and then make the necessary adjustments as my goals, plans, and progress changes.

I deem it as an opportunity and privilege to let me say something about myself by way of introduction. I am Tharunpalaniappan, have done my Bachelor’s programme in Automobile Engineering, from Dr. Mahalingam College of Engineering and Technology, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India, a private institution whose management also owns one of India’s largest automotive component manufacturer and automotive service station franchises.

My school principle used to tell us “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Otherwise, with a negative mindset, we are heading nowhere”. This line became the director of my life, and framework for my future plan. I always believed to become an efficient engineer in this ever-changing world of science and technology, and obtaining the masters degree will be inevitable for achieving immense knowledge and expertise in anything of this chosen field.

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.
