My Passion For Engineering

I believe engineering is the path to a better world. My interest in engineering really took hold when I joined the FIRST Robotics Club (Tractor Technicians) as a Sophomore and made the drive team: a drive team consists of four teammates who represent their club on the competition floor. We built, programmed, and tested our robot for months. The most incredible part of this experience was witnessing a single hand on a keyboard control our entire robot that I helped build. The intensity of the competition can be compared to that of a soccer game. However, instead of sprinting and kicking, we use our minds and engineering principles to analyze the situation and fix or improve issues that present themselves. Similarly, I would like to apply this trouble shooting mentality to more important issues. After robotics, I took the initiative to pursue an online computer science class. This class has proven to be more challenging than I anticipated, however, the growth I have seen in myself is exceptional. This rewarding experience has increased my interest in the field of engineering. I have also taken the opportunity to get real-world experience through a work study program in the IT/IS department on Kwajalein. I assist technicians in the field as we repair and replace computers and printers. These experiences and relationships have widened my perspective of the engineering and technology

Growing up, I tried to diversify myself as much as possible. I read books over many different subjects, and I would constantly search for tutorials on the Internet to learn how to do various tasks. I built circuits, wrote computer programs, played musical instruments, learned French, and I used all of this knowledge to try to improve my understanding of the world and enrich my own life and the lives of others. However, my greatest fascination that I have always had is my fascination for technology and electronics.

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 I was little, I’ve always been good with technology. As a child, I would teach adults how to use their phone even if it was my first time holding the device. By giving me a few minutes, I could tell completely analyze a phone tell the owner how it works and such. That talent later developed my inspiration to become an electrical engineer that dealt with hardware and software that were used in phones and video games. This dream also led me to apply at a math and science school, GSMST. However it all changed in my first year there and it forever changed me.

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

For as long as I can remember I have always been captivated by technology, how it works and where it could go. Even when I was very young I was messing around with old computer parts my step dad would have lying around. I believe my fascination stemmed from old sci-fi games and books I had when I was younger but that interest stuck with me since an early age. During my days in elementary school my goal was simply to become an engineer of some kind when I got older, and following my time in high school my initial inspiration on technology still held true but I was able to narrow down my career interests through research and what sparked my imagination the most. Both artificial intelligence and virtual reality have been my favorite subjects ever

I had an interest in the field of computer science from a very young age. It started in grade three when my school started teaching me and my friends about operating computers, while only grade six students were previously trained to do so. Although I was only taught about using paint software at that time, I learnt about the multidimensional usage of computer with time. Outside the school, I was an avid follower of automobiles, and to be specific I got really interested when I learnt about the supremacy of computing in automobiles, which helped to shape myself to major in computer science. In 2008, when Google launched the idea of self-driving car, I was amazed by the idea behind the technology empowering the mechanicals of an automobile.

The advancement in technology over the years has changed the world. The human race has become dependent on cell phones, computers, and the internet. This, to me, is remarkable. Watching the progression of technology improve lives all over the world, has inspired me to major in computer science. I hope to, one day, impact the lives of others through software engineering.

Ever since the 3rd grade, I excelled in science and math-related courses. As I grew older I recognized my passion and knew that when I got older, I wanted to use this passion in a career in engineering. To further this passion, I joined a premiere science program called Ecotek Lab. This program was designed for elite students to work on perfecting their craft by carrying out United Nations based science projects. Since joining Ecotek, I have been opened to many opportunities tying back to my career interest in mechanical engineering.

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.

Later in my plus two I had opted a stream which has its majors in Mathematics and Physics. Fortunately I got to know that these are the two subjects which are majorly required to be a good engineer. I strove hard to get a good command over the basics underlying these subjects and secured with good percentage. All these activities used as a driving force for me to take up mechanical engineering for my under graduation with an intense urge to delve into the challenging

Robert F. Kennedy’s famous words, “The purpose of life is to contribute in some way to making things better” from his book ‘Thirteen days’ captures the purpose of human life. It can be applied to engineering profession as well. Engineers strive hard to provide superior technological solutions to the pre-existing problems. I wished to become a part of the reason how things get developed better in the future. Thus, engineering became my obvious choice after my high school as it specifically catered to my ambition. Being highly interested in Physics and Mathematics, it seemed fairly natural that I choose Mechanical Engineering branch which primarily involves studying these wonderful subjects.

The second factor is school, my teachers always told me about how amazing engineers are, and how did they help building with other scientists our modern world, until I reached high school when I first studied physics as a single subject. My physics teacher was the most to affect me by teaching me about engines and they work and planting the love of mechanics and engineering into my soul which kept growing with me as I grew older.

Given my love towards science and technology, pursuing study in the engineering field was almost like a natural consequence. Having decided to do my major in mechanical, I only had to choose an elective in my twelfth which will help me achieve it. So, I felt taking up Electronics which will make me more versatile and familiar with Automation, which is the current trend. My passion drove me to work hard and score 83% in my twelfth.

In the world of Engineering and Technology, each day sees a spate of new concepts and applications, and each passing day seems to make them obsolete. This galloping pace of technological evolution has a direct bearing on practical applications, making it mandatory for today 's engineers to keep abreast of the latest developments. I have always had an inherent and overwhelming desire to design and innovate and this propelled me to opt for a career in engineering.
