Statement of Purpose for an Education in Mechanical Engineering

For as long as I can remember I dreamed of one day becoming a very successful and accomplished engineer. During high school in Guyana, I crafted great plans. I would attend a prestigious university, gain my degree, then I would go on to be a productive, if not influential, member of society. My dreams turned into reality when the opportunity to study in the United States as an international student came before me. This time I had a solid plan. I wanted to study civil engineering with a minor in architecture and a specialization in sustainable construction. I would start out at Essex County College, then transfer to a four year university where I could complete my bachelor’s degree. I quickly completed my paperwork and was soon on my way to a world class education and to make a name for myself.

My objective is to be registered as a graduate associate engineer by the year 2019. The first step in gaining this goal is to begin a 2 year engineering degree by semester 3 in 2016 and complete it in full-time mode. While working on Assignment 1 Part B; it showed that I was very interested in being creative and solving problems, it also indicated that I enjoyed having a secure field of employment. Through the use of career choice software and a lot of research I came to select the area of mechanical engineering because it involves creating

A world class engineering student would have most of their life goals, especially their education and career aspirations and hopes mapped out. Goal setting seems more crucial in the engineering major than some other majors, as there are many different requirements and expectations from the College of Engineering and each must be met in order to obtain a degree. A good way to keep on track of is to have a “road map” of everything can help a student stay on track and on towards their

I am currently working on earning APE in mechanical engineering at SLCC. After earning an APE, I will transfer to the University of Utah to earn B.S. in mechanical engineering. Afterward, I will work on getting an MBA. I want to be a licensed mechanical engineer in every state, and I will work day and night to have a good reputation and make my name known so I can start my own engineering firm one day. I am pursuing this path because I want to gain the practical experience that I can use in pursuing my ultimate career goal, which is earning Ph.D. to teach people and do research. I want to help, support, and prepare students to do better in their careers. Ever since I was a kid, I was the child who wanted to know more, the child that keeps asking

Graduating with a BS degree in engineering is most definitely a goal for me. Based on my reading a good way to ensure my success is to make goals for myself that can be completed in a shorter time span than one big goal. The act of complete goals gives me a sense of completion and reassures me that I’m on the right path. These goals can be planned out to make my life go in the direction I want it to. The reading showed me that there are 3 keys to success as an engineer,

In life, it is important to have an goal. My ultimate goal is to make the greatest impact I can in everything that I do. After completing a degree in mechanical engineering I ultimately want to pursue a career in the field of prosthetics, specifically for military amputees. As many members of my family and friends are military members, I have witnessed the sadness and despair that comes along with the loss of a limb and know that many wish to the battlefield and continue to serve this country despite their disability. I am eager to develop a combat capable prosthetic that would allow military amputees to return to the fight in similar or better condition as before their injury. This technology would also be practical to military members and civilians who wish to return some normalcy to their physical movement.

Although I believe that at this stage in my life that it is premature to have defined, long-reaching goals, I have set and achieved several short-term goals, all in keeping within my belief in the philosophy that knowledge for its own sake is fascinating and worthy of pursuit. I have found that as I learn more and more about the world around me, new venues open and new goals manifest, giving me new frontiers to explore. I am currently interested in computer science and have set a goal to pursue a degree in Engineering. As with many of the other goals that I set and achieved in the past, the most major influence on this goal is the fact that I have been home-schooled for most of my education. This opportunity has allowed me to consistently dedicate much more time to extracurricular activities and other personal projects than otherwise.

I will continue to try and master an area in my degree and learn to apply it to other ways as well. Because, even though, I can master something in a particular way, it doesn’t mean that I have mastered it fully unless I understand it in all ways possible. Last, but not least, in order to be the best at something I have to learn to rely and trust on peers because they may have another way at looking at problems then I have. They could also have an easier and more efficient solution to a problem that I may be struggling with. These three tips to myself, and others, alone can be applied to each of the four topics that I have discussed because it is, again in my opinion, what it means to be a true “world class” engineer. If I were to break it down, world by definition means “all aspects of human life”. The word “class” means “order of a society”. This means that, besides my goals of graduating with a Biomedical engineering degree by 2019, a 3.5 GPA, a community of engineers besides me, the subjects that I will learn in my major’s core classes, etc. I will have to work with a diverse and creatively smart group of people (which is where my plan comes into

“In this mighty world many blabber about their dreams, but who identified their paths and persistently stuck on their words are the few ones, who are known famous to the world. Being remained unknown would be my greatest regret. My path to chase my dreams is Mechanical Engineering, for a proud mechanical engineer can say, “When we rest, the world rusts!”

My Lifetime goal are to become a well-rounded engineer and to hopefully create something new that will benefit society while keeping the environment close in mind. I plan to use everything I have used and learned throughout school. I have learned that being persistent is important, because not everything is easy to figure out on a first take. Creating new will contain a great deal of trial and error and persistence will be key to accomplish my goal. A great deal of planning is going to be required to fabricate something completely new, and school will help me be able to plan more efficiently as I plan my schedule in order to have time to study, work on assignments. My classes in school have also help me tackle challenges in different

I have always wondered how the world works and who thinks of ways to do something easier. Mechanical engineering is a very hands on field of designing to building to installing. Mechanical engineers do it all and then some. The possibilities are endless when it comes to mechanical engineering. I can work in an office all day or on a boat 3000 miles away or I can be in Oregon one day and Florida the next. What interests me the most are all the possibilities that can come from engineering? Engineers have a unique job. I would like to find out what a normal day would consist of. The first place I looked for information about my career was the MS Choices website. Next, I searched the Occupational Outlook Handbook website. Finally, I conducted a job shadow with Richard Schmidt. By using MS Choices, The Occupational Outlook

“Engineers make things, but industrial engineers make things perfect”, and embedded in my heart is a deep desire to achieve perfection. I not only wish to contribute to the field of engineering, but also wish to do it as efficiently, economically and orderly as possible. In my frequent visits to my father’s fabrication unit, I noticed two kinds of people- ones on the shop floor operating the machines and others who worked on operating these machines efficiently by optimising the various processes involved. The latter invoked something in me. I was fascinated at the way they derived optimal solutions by a thorough understanding of the production systems. That made me want to pursue Production Engineering as my undergraduate major and I got into the Government College of Technology, Coimbatore- an institute with a good repute.

In order to become a world-class engineering student, I will have to expand my goals and prioritize them into categories of immediate, short-term and long-term goals. My immediate goals include completing assignments by their due date, reading the assigned material before it is discussed in class and being fully prepared to face the next day of classes. Short-term goals include doing well in each of my courses, successfully participating in extracurricular activities, and learning about the engineering profession by participating in student engineering societies. Long-term goals include graduating with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, getting a position as an engineer, and becoming a leader within the engineering community as well as the general community.

The boundless possibilities and prompt outcomes are what I find most energizing and alluring about Industrial Engineering. I have a great interest towards the industrial environment and this is the reason I am looking to pursue Master’s in Industrial Engineering. The factor in the recent times is that there have been huge changes in Design Engineering and Global Industrialization making the position of an Industrial Engineer a very essential one. Being part of this rapidly flourishing community has been my ultimate desire.

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.
