The aircraft had become my dream machine since the first day I started working on it. I choose to become an aerospace engineer as I felt that the airplane can give wings to my dream of flying in air. I was recruited by a company called Infosys Limited after completing my under graduation majoring in Mechanical (Production) Engineering. My passion to understand aircraft design has motivated me to work on design of various fuselage components during the course of my career. I was always interested to know about how various components are sized and the math behind arriving at a particular cross-section, thickness etc. As a design engineer my responsibilities include design of components based on stress analysis data, which is limited. I believe that a design engineer should have the knowledge of both stress analysis and design, which will help in understanding various loads acting on the components and design them better. Graduate studies have always been my priorities and I felt working in this industry will be the right preparation for this field. Thus I wish to pursue graduate studies in Aerospace Engineering at your esteemed university with a specialization in structure and materials, adding value to my work experience.
I have been interested in airplanes since my childhood. The first airplane I built was a paper fold plane during my school days. Though it was built for fun, I also used to compete among my friends. The planes flying for more distance or staying longer in air were declared as the winners in those competitions. To win in the competition, we used to build planes of various designs and tweak them to fly for longer distance or to stay more time in air. Though it was done unknowingly, today I can relate them with resp...

...my best choice because of its course curriculum in the field of structures as it closely relates with my work and research interests. The blend of courses in composites, metallic's, fatigue and damage tolerance are vital for a practicing engineer. Along with the course content, the experienced faculty and state-of-the-art research labs provides an ideal platform for my education and research. At Texas A&M, I wish to pursue research in the field of composites as it would add value to my work and also I believe that they can play a crucial role in future aircrafts. After completing my graduate studies, I would like to continue my career in aerospace industry and contribute to design and development of aircrafts. After achieving sufficient experience I would like to move towards R&D and later contribute to the development of aerospace industry in my home country India.
