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. Since an early age, I was exposed to quite a lot of …show more content…
We needed to fully utilise our knowledge by applying all the basic concepts in physics such as dynamic equilibrium and knowing the stiffness of the materials to build strong miniature bridge using given items to withstand the weight applied. Gaining trust from the teachers was most probably the most difficult thing to do when I was still schooling. Despite that, I assumed a few positions of responsibility such as head of students' dormitory and peers club which helped me to polish my leadership skill as well as my communication skills. Those positions created a lot of opportunities for me as I had been given chances to face and handle real life situations and most importantly is I learnt to make decisions which needed me to think thoroughly and carefully about the outcomes of the choices that I had at that time. Besides, I was also one of the high committee of several clubs in my previous schools such as the hockey club and also counselling club. I was able to cooperate well with other member so that the organisations will run smoothly and I too learnt how to organise and coordinate events successfully. Despite of those responsibilities, I managed to balance both my academic and curricular activities and maintained my ranking in the top ten of the whole batch for. Besides that, I managed to get second place in a national
I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering.
Seconds gave birth to minutes and minutes to hours, yet my concentration remained resolute. Despite the daunting nature of the task, I remained determined in what I had to achieve. For the first time applying some rudimentary scientific ideas I managed to build an intricate model of a toy car. “You shall grow up to become an Engineer one day,” my father exclaimed gazing at my laudable piece of creativity. I was only eleven and yet those prophetic words unknowingly chartered my future course for me.
I was always a monitor in the class since elementary school. I helped teachers to administer the classes. Even when I went to university in China, I was also an officer in my class.I planed all the activities for my the class. However, after I came to America, I was unfamiliar with the school system here. I did not know there was student union or clubs, so I did not join any. Until my second year at CCSF, I then found out school clubs, soI joined one of them. I also competed for the officer in the club, but I guess I was new, so they did not choose me. Although I did not become president in any clubs or student union, I do have leadership qualities and skills.
Mathematics and physics are the main subjects involved in engineering and they have made the course even more interesting to me. I am looking forward to apply the concepts that I have learned from these subjects and I can certainly jump deeper into the world of physics and mathematics by attaining a degree in mechanical engineering. As the learning
My undergraduate experience has been a very exciting journey. I was amazed to learn how the principles of mechanical engineering touch the lives of every human being. It made me clear that mechanical sciences simplifies the lives of people involved in industry and also the masses through ceaseless development in design and manufacturing areas, making it efficient, safe, cost effective and most importantly environment friendly. Holding a
Continuous knowledge gain of scientific theories, inventions, discoveries, machineries and the physics around me laid a path which helped me to take a direction in choosing Mechanical Engineering.
Mechanical Engineering has not only given us inventions such as the car that have improved our lives but also captured the imagination of the world through space travel and the Apollo missions. To achieve breakthrough in technology, we will always need great mentors, state-of-art infrastructure and real motivation and Michigan Technological University is one of them. My four year academic curriculum in Mechanical Engineering at Pune University has offered me the perfect blend of theoretical subjects and laboratory work. These academic years help to build solid foundation in the field and made me keen to learn Applied Mechanics, Finite Element method, Design and manufacturing as part of my graduate syllabi. This career planning would help me to achieve my goal to be a part of Mechanical Engineering fraternity. Thus, after intensive personal exploration, I have decided to be a part of Michigan technological University as a first step towards my goal.
Thus, Mechanical engineering was a direct consequence of my convictions. Subjects like Manufacturing Process, CAD/CAM, Metal cutting & Machine Tool Engineering, Machine Design, Kinematics & Dynamics of Machines, Automotive Engineering, Applied Thermodynamics, Control Systems Engineering etc., revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of Mechanical Engineering. My undergraduate study was a richly rewarding experience, during which I have participated various Industrial training
The fact that there are so many engineers in my family, had inspired me to take up electrical engineering. Right from childhood I was very engrossed in finding out alternative solutions to real life problems. Gradually, I started building interest in the logic behind the working
Due to the background I described, engineering was the most compatible field with my personal character, a discipline which, by the use of creativity and teamwork anyone can evolve meaningful and optimal solutions to various problems and I believe that Mechanical Engineering seemed the right option since it offered the exciting possibility of integrating these disciplines which I thereby could have achieved my lifelong ambition to find out the physical principles governing the universe and how they are involved in
The rigors of this extensive and well-designed course made me appreciate the potential of Mechanical Engineering even more. It also equipped me with the scientific temperament to pursue my research in the areas of my interest.

I have graduated in Jan 2014 from Pakistan Navy Engineering College which is recognized as best institute of Pakistan as it is the very first Pakistani institute which got ISO certification and is a constituent college of National University of Sciences and Technology. It is the highest ranked university of Pakistan in engineering and also in all other disciplines of study by QS world university rankings. Now I am planning to get admissions in master’s program to continue seeking knowledge. My focus was attracted to power engineering due to its versatility, interdisciplinary nature, and its need in my country. Power Crisis in Pakistan is one of the biggest problem that Pakistan is facing these days. So I made my aim to do something in
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
During my high school studies I was a student of science and mathematics, both these subjects helped me in unraveling the mysteries of nature by better understanding principles that govern its working. I have participated in several school and inter school science projects, one such project that left lasting impression was that of a study on gear mechanism used in various tools, fascinated by the same I was on self-propelled path of discovery. I am driven by asking the questions: why? and how? and this curiosity developed into a passion for machines as a whole and led me to do an undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering from PVG’S College of Engineering and Technology under the prestigious University of Pune, a leading academic institution in the automotive hub of India, Pune.
My fascination for Science led me to take up the science stream in my higher education. Also, participation in several science projects and expos during my school days made me seek clarity in the way I perceived concepts of basic sciences. This abiding interest helped me to score first class with distinction in my Board exams (10th & 12th).When the time came to choose an undergraduate program, one of the most significant decisions in life as it will lead to one’s career, an astute decision was made, based on factors ranging from inspiration, untapped interests and inherent skills to scope and satisfaction. I singled out mechanical engineering stream as it is the foundation to various other disciplines and specializing in any other field later on would be more beneficial. This led me to take up Mechanical engineering at one of the top colleges in India. The well-balanced curriculum at Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering (SVCE) Anna University has provided me with a comprehensive exposure to the fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering.
