Expuement Of A Statement For A Purpose For Mechanical Engineering

With each passing decade, man is extending his horizons into the unknown realms of science and technology. Rapid advancements have been made, aimed at making the life of people easy and comfortable. Still more innovation is required to meet the challenges of the coming decades and I would like to be at the forefront of such betterment. For this, research would be of prime importance, accompanied by in-depth knowledge of the subject. To me, engineering is not just about going from concept to reality, but a way of overcoming constraints and challenges. With the growth of age, I now have a much clearer sense of purpose for my life, which is not just to help one family, but to lift many more out of poverty and ignorance. I desire to pursue Ph.D. at National University of Singapore in the field of the Energy and Bio-Thermal Systems (EBTS). I would like to use the knowledge gained from my graduate study to add enduring value to the society, either as a team member of a research group in the industry or as a professor in a revered university.

Math and Physical Sciences exposed me to new concepts and my quest to use them for practical applications prompted me to continue my studies in engineering. Good problem solving ability and sharp analytical skills helped me secure a good rank in the AIEEE. A penchant for mechanical devices led me to enroll myself in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum .The pursuit for knowledge has always been the goal in my life. The strong penchant for learning ensured my consistent excellence in academics. I was the school topper in my 10th grade and am proud to say that I was among the 0.1% students in BSE (Board of Secondary Education Orissa, India), to have scored 100% marks in mathematics. I completed my 12...
