Desire to Study Industrial Engineering in Operations Research and Information Systems
explanatory Essay
865 words
My undergraduate years as a mechanical major had successfully provided me a solid foundation in technical areas and quantitative methods. I wish to further develop my skills and broaden my knowledge in Industrial Engineering, particularly in the advanced studies based on Operations Research & Information Systems. By applying cross-disciplinary approach in solving complex engineering problems with specific technical aspects and through analysis of managerial and economic factors, I will prepare myself to serve as an efficient industrial engineer or manager for business in the global arena.
The courses during my undergraduate studies taught me the basic engineering concepts in theory and practice. I chose an assortment of courses which enabled me to find out the various elements of a multitude of Systems, its theory & design. I have learnt Finite-element-Analysis using ANSYS, modeling of mechanisms in Robotics. I particularly enjoyed modeling of feedback control systems to electrical, mechanical and electro-mechanical systems due to its cross-disciplinary approach. I have learned to use MATLAB thoroughly, using it in computing solutions and for Robotic programming. With the experience in coursework, I have become proficient in applying various tools like AUTOCAD, CATIA and Pro-Engineer from Engineering Graphics.
During my Production Techniques class, we as a group analyzed various manufacturing processes while interpreting the results of the lab experiments we have conducted. Using MINITAB, a statistical software tool we have generated reports which has demonstrated the effect of certain parameters on the efficiency of the entire operation. While performing this exercise, besides taking the mathematical modeling, I have realized how...

... that can tune me to the technological shifts. Also, it opens-up opportunities to work on complex engineering systems, besides giving me the pride of having worked with the best people, in my line of interest. I see a possible match with Dr. George C. Runger’s research in Data mining. Descriptions of Dr. Teresa Wu’s work in Simulation Modeling and Systems also match my interest. I am open to work under other professors involving all facets of Information & Management Systems.
I do see that my background lacks knowledge in certain areas. However, my motivation to succeed reflects in my academic preparation, experience, and vision for the future. I believe that these attributes, combined with my defined purpose and eagerness to gather comprehensive knowledge in Industrial Engineering , will guide my success as a graduate student at Arizona State University.
