Personal Statement
Since childhood I was fascinated towards machines and I always stand against the idea of cramming the textbooks for the sake of good grades. For me, Science and Engineering is about Learning and Application. Can you imagine the Air Bus A380 airliner, the largest passenger airliner in history, which is packed with cutting-edge technology, owes its very existence to the most unlikely breakthroughs - a Mongolian bow and a 19th century rocket? I learnt this while watching “Engineering Connections” show on National Geographic.
My choice of Mechanical Engineering discipline (especially Aerospace) has been an outcome of a very thoughtful process that involves the discovery of my inherent passion for machines (especially for the ones, which flies). Our family business is also for mechanical parts etc. Mechanical Engineering is the base for Aerospace and other related fields to all machines.
I have been living in school boarding since Grade-8. The school’s boarding house is a vibrant community attracting learned faculty and competitive students from all over the world where I have acquired the fine virtues of appreciating cultural diversity, inclusivity, and international co-operation. It is from Grade-9 when my general interest in engineering found a focus in a specific field. To follow my goal I opted for Physics,

I have experienced the wonders of studying science especially given the practical and Hands-on approach during the formative years of my schooling. I have realized the broader perspectives across various disciplines and come to understand the interdisciplinary approach of research in
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.
Engineering is the life-line of this fast developing world, and I have always dreamt to be a part of it. Over the years, this dream has developed into a passion. Fuelled by the rapid strides made in this field, I sincerely hope to contribute significantly to the efforts that are under way to meet the ever-increasing demands of mankind.
It wasn’t just this interest that made me decide engineering was right for me. I wanted to help people through something I was good at. Since I was about ten I’ve helped take care of my grandmother and after that my grandfather, and it became a big part of my life. I truly did love helping them and being able to make their lives easier. I loved it so much in fact, in my junior year I started volunteering at an assisted living community. Engineering allows me to funnel this compassion of helping others into my work through a subject matter I
Throughout the world’s existence, scientists and engineers alike have integrated the use of science and technology into every day life through the use of theories, hypotheses and experiments. In the period of time science has been present, it has left a more substantial impact on the world compared to technology, by improving and shaping the way the human race thinks, and by providing an environment and capacity for advancement.
What would you say when asked what life is? I would say life is like a motor race, no matter how bad the track is, we have to keep riding until we reach the finish line. Well, there is no finish line in life until we get settled in a certain phase and here I am to start a new episode of my life. I introduce myself as Mohamed Shajahan M.A, a Mechanical Engineering graduate. I pursued my B.E Mechanical at Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, under Anna University.
If you had asked me a year ago what I was going to do with my life, I would have had no idea. This thought scared me because I was a junior in high school, and I did not know where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do. I had dreams of being an astronomer or an architect, but I could always find a reason against these careers. I remember thinking, ‘I just want to make an impact.’ I wanted to live a purposeful life, one filled with adventure and challenges. One where, there was always work to be done, and something to accomplish. Then though some divine intervention, I discovered Civil Engineering. Through personal experience and learning about the occupation, I have decided that as a Civil Engineer I can accomplish my own personal goals while also benefiting others.
It is my greatest honor to be a Boilermaker. When I graduated from high school and decided to study abroad, I did not hesitate choosing Purdue University as my first choice for its extraordinary reputation in quality of educating and academic researches. Indeed, the experiences in Lyles School of Civil Engineering of Purdue University was perfect: enjoying the safe campus, making new friends, taking great courses, meeting outstanding professors and participating a promising research. These will compete me, being the cornerstone of my career success. During these years, the curriculum of civil engineering was truly beneficial and constructed my entire knowledge of being a structural engineer: in CE474, Structural Analysis Ⅱ, I have been taught deeper to determine force equilibrium, moment, indeterminacy and deflection for a given structure using several methods, moment area, force method, virtual work method and MATLAB etc.; in CE473, Reinforced Concrete Design, I have learned how a concrete component should be reinforced, what the flexural and shear behaviors are, and how slabs and columns are supposed to be designed and in CE470, Steel Design, I have familiarized not only the correct use of AISC Code and SAP2000 software, but also the theoretical calculation in designing and checking typical steel components. Moreover, in order to explore further and wider in civil engineering as well as to enrich academic experiences, I had an internship at KanShe Architecture and
Throughout my life, my career plans have evolved based on knowledge that I gain through my academic life. When I first started my college career, I had a vision to become a Civil Engineer. I was mainly focused on going into water quality because I found the prospect of providing clean water to people very significant. Also, this area of study is an application of some chemistry knowledge which is a subject I thoroughly enjoyed. While water management is very interesting, I am in the process of deciding which direction of civil engineering suits me most as a career option. I am also interested in going into structural engineering because it is interesting to analyze the structural components of buildings and other structures. Both of these fields of studies will lead to careers in which I will have to think about environmental issues constantly.
I have great pleasure in enclosing my CV in response to your advert on the University of Leicester Museum Studies’ Jobs Desk for a London Coordinator (Sculpture) for Art UK Sculpture. As a passionate supporter of our national and regional cultural heritage, I thoroughly enjoy working with objects, ideas and stories, inspiring other to engage with art. I have long-standing knowledge of London, having lived - in North, South and West London - and worked in the Capital for many years, and I am familiar with many of London’s diverse galleries and museum collections.
Zeal for technical advancement in the field of science and technology always fascinated and motivated me to opt for engineering. To meet the best possible grades in my career, I expect to continue my knowledge hunt in an esteemed university which enhances the growth of my interest. The challenges of developing new and better materials to meet demanding needs, keeps a material science engineer at the cutting edge of technology. Mechanical engineering by itself has many subjects in the course module and if I wanted an in depth understanding of particular subject, Masters become an obvious necessity.A Masters degree would allow me to delve deeper into the individual aspects of Material Science by studying them in greater detail and also to gain
A simple bridge truss was the first structure I ever analyzed. The simple combination of beams that could hold cars, trains, and trucks over long spans of water fascinated me. Having the tools to analyze the loads on the truss further increased my interest in structures. I encountered the bridge in a textbook for my first engineering class.
The first step towards achieving this vision was to acquire commendable credentials at the Higher Secondary level. My propensity for mathematics and the physical sciences supplemented by my unstinting hard work propelled me through high school with an exemplary record, allowing me to gain entry into Sri Krishna College of engineering and

To achieve breakthrough in technology, we will always need great mentors, state-of-art infrastructure and real motivation and Lawrence Tech is one of them.
“Amalgamating hard work with determination always leads to the destination.” This is exactly what differentiates James watt from others. Many mechanical inventions have changed the prospects of life and improved the world. The world as we see now has an eclectic collection of mechanical innovations that take the life ahead in an efficient way.
I completed my schooling creditably with an aggregate of 80% and my major subjects were Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science. Though I did my high school in rural area, I was an ardent and shrewd explorer of new technologies and mechanisms. This enthusiasm motivated me to go on special science exhibition camps to prudently utilize my skills in a wise manner. My project on “wind turbines”, earned me appreciations in the academic year in my high school tenure. This played a vital role in my academic career to choose Bachelor of Engineering degree in Mechanical Engineering from Apollo Engineering College affiliated to Anna University, Chennai.
