Statement of Purpose for My Masters in Industrial Engineering

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,

There is this famous saying, “Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart”. Growing up as a kid, I picturesquely recall the moment that inspired me to become a Mechanical Engineer. In my childhood, I saw people using living muscles as energy sources to do their agricultural works like ploughing and irrigating fields. Although life has been drastically different due to furtherance of technology in most part of the world, most of the people in my country, Nepal, are relying on conventional methods. Our country is lagging behind technologies though there are lot of potencies. This motivates me to study the subject that can help me to bring changes in technological aspect of my society and country.

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.

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.

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 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

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

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

This epistle gives me a unique opportunity to pen down my ambition and my Statement of Purpose. Let me begin by saying that I wish to pursue my masters in Management Information Systems .

(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 am Nileshkumar Luhar. Discovering and understanding how certain mechanical products work have attracted my attention for the longest time. I have been watching TV show named How It’s Made on the Discovery Channel since last six years. Seeing the manner in which the machineries and cars are built and the various processes involved instilled desire in me to be part of the whole process. I felt that Engineering would be the area, which would give me the opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are applied to create technology for practical and real purposes. This coupled with a natural flair for science and mathematics motivated me to take up Mechanical Engineering in University.

The book is written by Chetan Bhagat who himself has received undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from IIT, Delhi and later MBA from Indian Institute of Management, Ahmadabad.

With a strong background in math and physics, I made it to GITAM University- one of the premium professional institutes for Engineering in India. The wide array of subjects offered at this university helped widen my scope. With all

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

Ever since I was a little child, I was fascinated by machines and the way they operate. I remember growing up with a pile of broken toys around me. My mother has always been complaining about my obsession with disassembling toys. Whenever I got any interesting automatic toy, I had felt the urge of ripping them apart to see how they worked. I attempted to reassemble them afterwards, but most of the time they end up being damaged. I remember spending day after day trying to figure out why one of my motorized cars responded only to its sound generating remote control however not to other sounds. I did not have any knowledge of sensors or actuators back then. One of my cousins came to rescue and explained it. I was very surprised, realizing an inanimate object could possess such ability. My interest in science and engineering grew exponentially after that. The idea of being an Engineer, being able to play with the laws of physics and unveiling the unknowns has always been a driving force in my student life.
