I believe the knowledge acquired in schools and colleges is not an education, but the means to it. It is this faith that makes me ‘a knowledge seeker to the end of my days’. Of all the memories of my childhood, one I deeply cherish is that of my first day in school. I obviously remember the tears rolling from my eyes as my parents bade me good-bye leaving me in an unknown environment. My teacher recited rhymes in a gentle voice and by the end of the day I began to love school. I was lucky to have begun with a good advance education and as I grew, my fascination and ability were likely towards the physical nature of the universe. I used to spend hours of time repairing my bicycle making my hands stained with grease. Though it’s a strenuous …show more content…
After completing my schooling, I felt that Engineering would be the area, which would provide me the chance to learn and find out how the fundamentals are applied to devise technology for real world purposes. A Boeing 747 with a maximum takeoff weight of around 400 kilo tons and to lift off the ground means that it could generate enough down force to take off, amazes me. Today's technological advancement means the products engineers will be able to achieve incredible in the near future. Moreover, my natural strengths have always been creative potential and the power of imagination; which made me take up a subject that would allow me to channel my strengths in the best possible direction. Thus, Mechanical engineering was a direct result of my convictions. Subjects like CAD/CAM, Robotics, Metal cutting & Machine Tool Engineering, Machine Design, Kinematics & Dynamics of Machines, Automobile Engineering, Applied Thermodynamics etc., revealed to me unlimited scope in the field of Mechanical Engineering. My undergraduate study was a richly fruitful experience, during which I have volunteered and participated in various technical …show more content…
We are in the age of global and technological changes where boundaries are quickly disappearing and the greatest confrontation tomorrow holds for us is to manage continuity of the difference. To satisfy my curiosity and to fulfil my ambitions I have decided to study a master’s program in Mechanical Engineering. I would like to get included in research work in this area. Although there is immense scope for research in India, the need for exposure to a broad environment has made me to seek an opportunity to study further in the United States. The eternal-increasing part played by computers in every field of Engineering and their synergetic role in designing procedures called CAD and in manufacturing procedures called CIM has encouraged me to digest various design application software packages like AUTOCAD, CATIA and
