PERSONAL STATEMENT

Starting from the first steam engine, Aeolipile to today’s Mars rover, the transcendental pervasion of mechanical engineering has shaped the life on this planet as we know it today. This progress seems never ending as the new technologies are engendering ever new complex challenges. Therefore, merging of fundamental research with real world applications is demanding now more than ever. As a student of Mechanical Engineering, I am well aware of these facts and have decided to pursue an active career in cutting edge research. I am strongly motivated to undertake graduate studies in order to pursue an MS in Mechanical Engineering, which, I believe, will prepare me for my further study at the doctoral level.
I completed my undergraduate studies in November, 2016 from Islamic University of Technology (IUT), Bangladesh with a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering. My undergraduate study at IUT gave me the exposure to existing knowledge in my field and, I believe, my graduate study at Virginia Tech will give me the opportunity to contribute to that knowledge. As an undergraduate student, although I was exposed to a variety of subjects in this field, I grew a keen interest in Mechanics related problems over the years. It started when I was taught the course ‘MCE 4203: Engineering Mechanics – I’ in my first year at IUT. It became more fascinating with the lectures on ‘MCE 4503: Mechanics of Materials’ in the third year, where I came across the complex behavior of solid
