Recommended: Entrepreneurship as a career option

Ever since my childhood I have been fascinated and mystified by the working of machines. Watching a simple arrangement of gears perform complex function was nothing less than an illusion. I was always fascinated by games like Lego and Machine Mechanics because they required my utmost concentration and attention. Dismantling and mantling my toys always gave me a sense of satisfaction. Overdriven by my fascination and curiosity I took science as a major in high school and finally mechanical engineering as a specialization in my bachelors degree.
During my under-graduate studies, I took part in many technical and non-technical events to keep myself updated with the latest technological developments. I took part in many TED-X conferences hosted by my University. Through these conferences I realized how simple concepts from various engineering fields could be integrated and converted into a technology that could be used to provide optimum sustainability and improve the efficiency of various mechanical processes. To test my theoretical knowledge, I took part in “SAE Mini Baja”, an annual event conducted by SAE - Society for Automobile Engineers. Out of the 115 teams that participated, our team comprising of 25 members secures the 83th overall position. I was the senior member of the team and was responsible for designing and fabricating the suspension system, an important component in a 4 wheel-drive All Terrain Vehicle. I also helped my fellow team mates in logistics and production-planning. The event educated me on the practical applications of many engineering concepts giving me a new thinking and access to new possibilities. I was also able to refine my management skills and improve my leadership qualities by managing a group of bu...

...ion is the norm of the day. Entrepreneurs are looking favourably at establishing manufacturing or service units in addition to the customary trading units. This is a perfect opportunity for me as it offers career and financial growth. I look forward to joining my father’s organization and helping him expand his business. My long -term goal is to open a consulting firm through which I will be able to provide services to young and budding industrialists to build their organizational competency and efficiency to become global players.
My journey in VIT University has been amazing and memorable. It’s truly said, VIT University is a place to learn and a chance to grow. I hope my decision to pursue my MS program at The University of Minnesota will bring with it more challenges, memories and fun which will make me proficient, well-groomed and an all-rounded human being.

  • Statement of Purpose for Automotive Engineering

    552 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ever since I was a child, I have had a great interest for the automotive industry. From car trivia to novel innovations, my innate passion for the automotive industry has always made me research the minutest detail of every vehicle that interested me. Since elementary school I would draw sketches of cars which incorporated technology which were unheard of at that time; novel devices such as electrochromic windshields, HUD displays, and wind turbines which would constantly re-generate electricity for the car. While growing up, my hobbies largely consisted of constructing countless Lego and Meccano sets, and repairing my mom’s 19 year-old car. In middle school, math and science were my favorite subjects: applying science and mathematics to solve real-world problems has fascinated me and I have also taken further steps to reach my goals. By the age of thirteen I devised a scaled model of a heliostat power plant, which successfully powered a light bulb. The mathematics beyond the focus points of parabolic dishes and thermodynamics was very advanced for my age, but I took up the challenge...

    Ever since I began studying science and mathematics at all levels of educations I have always had an interest in the production of useful materials. In the growing turmoil of today; a world full of global warming and diminishing resources, questions often arise in my mind such as, "can we make a more efficient, more durable and a renewable resource that will overshadow fossil fuels? and have less of an impact on our environment?" Up to now, I have not found a solution to these questions and answering these questions is a personal aspiration of mine which I aim to fulfil by achieving a degree in Chemical engineering and eventually I will contribute to the field in my own unique way. The debate surrounding sustainable energy fascinates me, having recently learned from personal research I have understood what an authoritative role chemists and chemical engineers play in the industry at the present time and how, by working as a team, they contribute to an improved future for the whole world. However, one of the main reasons that has single-mindedly driven me this far to want to study chemical engineering is a book I have read, “Beyond the Molecular Frontier: Challenges for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering” While reading this book, I had solidified my understandings of what chemical engineering is all about. Also, one of the main processes mentioned was polymerisation and is something I already study in A-level chemistry, it is something that not only interests me, but is a personal career aspiration of mine. Reading this book gave me a determination to be the person who helps improve the future of the industry and provide an answer to the questions I always ask myself by studying this degree.

    I developed a keen interest in Chemical Engineering at the time I was pursuing my undergraduate degree program in Chemical Engineering at Ghana’s premier science university, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). At KNUST I had the greatest opportunity to study a wide range of subject areas, inside and outside the field of chemical engineering, such as reaction engineering, mass transfer, heat transfer and fluid transport. Prior to completing my undergraduate studies, it was the field of energy and sustainability that attracted my interest. At that juncture I had already made up my mind to continue my studies in that field of chemical engineering.

    Ever since I was little I have always been interested in how things work, and I have always thought about how I could build them work better. As an example, I lived in Japan for two years while I was in first and second grade. I went to a small public school and loved to ski with my friends, we probably went skiing at least once a week during the winter. When I was skiing I would always be fascinated by the ski lifts and spend a good deal of time staring at them to try and figure out how they worked. And eventually I did. That is just one example of my everyday life. I want to have a career in what I already love doing -- learning how machines work and making my own. The first time I went to Maker Faire in Kansas City was the day I decided for sure that I wanted to be a maker, and I haven’t missed a Maker Faire since. Maker Faire is an annual event that lasts a weekend and is held in various different cities around the world. It is a place for makers to show off their inventions and projects to thousands of spectators.
