Master of Science
Statement of Purpose
‘Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate and no nepotism can enslave’. Meditation of this quote has inspired me to excel in academics. My goal is to accomplish a challenging position in the field of Quality Engineering and deliver high-quality products and services to customers. My industrious efforts in Higher Secondary examinations and passion for science helped me gain direct admission in Mechanical Engineering at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, one of the renowned institutions in India.
After graduation, I joined Matrix Boilers Private Limited, as a Quality Control Engineer for 5 months. There, I got the opportunity to work in Raw Material Procurement of pipes, casting, forging and fitting components. I was responsible for inspecting the components, verifying their Test Certificates with respect to purchase order, drawing and ensuring their chemical composition, mechanical properties and NDE requirements as per ASME standards. I also had to co-ordinate with other departments like purchasing and manufacturing and suppliers to ensure reliable and cost efficient delivery of the raw materials to the production line. Gradually, I learned on how the day-to-day issues are being handled in Quality Control and how the defects are identified. This experience created an interest in Quality control which made me understand the importance of Quality in

Then, I felt that I must return to my academic studies to learn the advanced concepts, techniques and strategies involved in it in detail. A Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering will help me achieve this. I would therefore utilize the skills obtained from this program for improving quality and deliver high- quality products and services to
After completing my bachelors , I worked as an Design engineer in the field of Electrical where I was able to implement knowledge which I had gained from my Bachelors of Engineering. When I realized that my bachelor’s knowledge and skill was not able to address new problems, I decide to pursue my masters in the field of Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
Oftentimes, people tend to think of mechanical engineers as people where their work is the only good thing in their lives. Those people have only been seeing the single story of the mechanical engineering field. Mark Ginter, a fifty-five-year-old man born in Wabash, Indiana on August 30, 1960, works in this field and wants to break this stereotype. He is a rather short man with a salt and pepper beard, wears giant glasses and has a crooked, but bright smile. My father and I sat down in a room that has dim lighting.
I graduated last year from Universal Technical Institute with certifications to be a mechanic. Since then I have been working for a job that has made me realize: this is not the career path for me. However, I would still like to work in the auto industry and therefore I am choosing to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. I chose to go to Valencia to get my Associate in Science degree before I move on to a four-year university to complete my Bachelor’s degree. I believe this degree will help me to achieve my goal of working for an automobile company; specifically to be involved in the creation and design performance enhanced vehicles.
I want to start off by stating my real objective, which is to enhance and strengthen my knowledge base in the field of Mechanical Engineering. The ideal path towards this, I feel, would be by pursuing graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering. I really want to take in every ounce of knowledge that is possible in this field so that in the long run I can become a master of this field. This would eventually require team spirit besides
In order to find the right graduate program which can address my interests and match my educational goals, I studied many different universities and came to believe that The University of Alabama in Huntsville provides me with a marvelous opportunity and makes me very enthusiastic to learn from and collaborate with the great academics there. I am confident that given my background in Industrial Engineering as well as my teaching experience, I have the potential to prove an asset to your graduate program, both as a successful student and as an efficient assistant with teaching or research duties. I hope that with the help of great scholars there, I will be prepared to contribute to a better understanding in this
My inclination towards science began from childhood. I excelled in my school career. Ever since my childhood I had craved to know about how things worked and their mechanisms. It is the desire for focused learning that has been the cause for what I am today and is the reason for me to pursue my graduation.
“In this mighty world many blabber about their dreams, but who identified their paths and persistently stuck on their words are the few ones, who are known famous to the world. Being remained unknown would be my greatest regret. My path to chase my dreams is Mechanical Engineering, for a proud mechanical engineer can say, “When we rest, the world rusts!”
I have successfully earned a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from SUNY, University at Buffalo in September 2013, which opened avenues for me and led me to my first full-time job. Since graduation, I’ve been on a ceaseless path of learning from working as a Quality Engineer for a small manufacturing company called HDM Hydraulics to where I am now as an R&D Quality Engineer for New Product Development at Medtronic. My academic pursuits continued even after starting
Humans have a natural tendency to feel attraction towards mystery. When I was a kid, Machines were mysterious to me, to be completely forthright, it is as yet the same. Whenever I visited my grandfather’s machine shop then, those lifeless-creatures always enchanted me. In fact, my adolescence was surely brimming with doing all the fun things, at least to me. Splitting a toy, then dismantling its motors, later use them to make a water boat-electric fan was my regular activity. Since machines had lured me all my life, it was an obvious decision to choose mechanical engineering as my future endeavor. Now, after completing graduation from the Islamic University of Technology, a top-tier (OIC-Affiliate) and only international University of Bangladesh, I would like to pursue a career accomplishing a Ph.D. in the field of “Mechanical Engineering” as an ardent Mechanical Engineer. My personal interest, academic performance, brief exposure to research, professional experience and inquisitiveness led me to believe that it would not only allow me to expand my knowledge but also would give me the opportunity to obtain my eventual objective of taking up a research-oriented career in the field of mechanical engineering.
“Engineers make things, but industrial engineers make things perfect”, and embedded in my heart is a deep desire to achieve perfection. I not only wish to contribute to the field of engineering, but also wish to do it as efficiently, economically and orderly as possible. In my frequent visits to my father’s fabrication unit, I noticed two kinds of people- ones on the shop floor operating the machines and others who worked on operating these machines efficiently by optimising the various processes involved. The latter invoked something in me. I was fascinated at the way they derived optimal solutions by a thorough understanding of the production systems. That made me want to pursue Production Engineering as my undergraduate major and I got into the Government College of Technology, Coimbatore- an institute with a good repute.
I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.
Since childhood, I was immensely influenced by my grandfather’s fascination with machines. From being his ‘tool box guy’ when he worked on fixing any household equipment, to being an active observer when he took on an arduous task of diagnosing issues with heavy duty diesel engines, my interest in the field of engineering was bolstered form a very early age. This early exposure galvanized me to participate in science fairs and debates in my middle school, where my experiments and ideas always stood out.
Moreover, my innate strengths have always been creative abilities and power of imagination; which made me take up a discipline that would allow me to channel them in the best possible way. I have finished my bachelor of technology in mechanical engineering with 8.75 CGPA out of 10. Subjects like Elements of Mechanical Engineering, Kinematics and Dynamics of Machines, Strength of material, Manufacturing Processes, Mechanical Design & Analysis, Mechanical Vibrations etc., revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of Mechanical Engineering. We are in an era of global and technological changes where boundaries are fast disappearing and the greatest challenge tomorrow holds for us in to manage continuity of change. To satiate my curiosity and to fulfill my ambitions I have decided to pursue a masters program in Mechanical Engineering.

My school principle used to tell us “The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Otherwise, with a negative mindset, we are heading nowhere”. This line became the director of my life, and framework for my future plan. I always believed to become an efficient engineer in this ever-changing world of science and technology, and obtaining the masters degree will be inevitable for achieving immense knowledge and expertise in anything of this chosen field.
