Statement Of Purpose For Mechanical Engineering

I, Sai Pradeep Keesari, completed my under-graduation majoring in Mechanical Engineering from M.V.S.R Engineering College, affiliated to Osmania University. I have a strong desire to contribute to the field of Mechanical Engineering and to solve intricate practical problems in the same. With this objective in mind, I seek admission to the MS program in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University Of Houston.

Understanding the real life phenomenon and their physics intrigued me at a very early stage. I was in my Grade 11 when I first came across “The Fundamentals of Physics” by Robert Resnick, David Halliday and Jearl Walker. The book not only explains many practical phenomena and their relation to physics, but also gives the problems associated with certain situations and a lucid methodology to solve every such problem. It was when reading this book I got fascinated to the Engineering Mechanics and its application to the world around me. Feeling my interest for Mechanics, my instructor gave his personal copies of “University Physics” by Sears and Zemansky, “Problem Solving in Physics” by Irodov and “Vector Mechanics for Engineers” by Ferdinand Beer and Russell Johnson, and asked me to go through the Mechanics section in each of them. These books and the problems I solved in them furthered my interest in the subject. Fuelled by this fascination, and encouraged further by the progressive environment in my school, I decided to pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree for my graduation.

With my interest for the subject and sincere e...

...asm I have knowing there is so much to explore in these fields. I believe I will be able to perform well in these fields as I have been exposed to basic concepts for the past 6 years, and having professional experience helps a lot to understand few intricate complexities of any subject.

From the careful study of the information available in the website, and through consultation with seniors and friends who graduated from University Of Houston, I strongly believe that taking up graduate studies at your university will provide me with opportunities to whet my skills. I wish to aver that I will make maximum use of all the opportunities bestowed upon me and shall pursue my goals with whole hearted dedication and can live to the high standards set by the university. I sincerely hope that my application for admission in your esteemed institution is favourably received.
