Statement of Purpose in Engineering

Born in a family of Engineers I inculcated profound enthusiasm to Engineering and practical experimentation with dreams of futuristic ideas. During the childhood days, when my father helped me construct complex mechanical models, my affinity to the machinery related field germinated from observation and association. As I started implementing them, I simply got imbibed into the whirlpool of engineering and this formed the core inspiration to my career.

My academic career started in Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, a highly reputed premier school in the city and India, with outstanding results. In my higher secondary examination I scored centum in both Mathematics and Chemistry and a state first rank in my second language (Sanskrit), putting me on an overall top 1% in the state of Tamilnadu. As an added feather to my cap of achievements, I was also awarded the C.Subramaniam award for “Excellence in Character” that stands as a testimony to my individuality.

With the benefit of freedom of choice of college and course of study, guidance and counseling by professors and researchers in the field and as the most logical extension towards my passion for research, I opted Mechanical Engineering at Coimbatore Institute of Technology (CIT, established 1956) – one of the oldest and outstanding institutions in the state and the country. I have always been on search for opportunities to excel and I ranked among the top 2% in my class with credentials of 90% and above in all semesters.

My quest for knowledge was not limited to the college campus alone. Realizing that computer applications are essential to fortify the study of core subjects and is an essential tool for research, I learnt a 2D modeling software (Autocad) from VRET Autodesk Education Partne...

...any field needs utmost effort, thorough knowledge of contemporary advances under able guidance of the best in the line and that only intense interest can see the best through. I believe I have such intense interest in Industrial Engineering with special interest in Engineering Management, Quality control and Operations research. I believe that the best place to pursue my studies is in countries, which are advanced in technology and provide high quality education. As U.S. ranks best in the above aspects, I choose University of Southern California to embark on this academic career. Given an opportunity to become a Graduate student at your reputed university, I would be able to give good account of myself and be able to successfully reach goals I have set for myself and be an asset to the Department and the University.

I look forward to join your esteemed University.
