STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

“Millions saw the apple fall, but Newton asked why” ~Bernard Baruch

In my childhood my father used to buy me mechanical toys to play with. The more I played with them, the more I became curious to know how they worked. I opened them and tried to understand how they operated. I built new toys out of old toys, power toy cars with DC motors and other paraphernalia. When I was 12 years old, I worked closely with a bike called “Jawa-Yezdi” and restored it with the help a mechanic in my class 12. Since then, I always wanted to be a Mechanical Engineer.

“The principal goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done” ~Jean Piaget.

I believe that everybody faces a paradox at some point in their lives, the question about what do they want to be, what really can make them happy and contented.

When I think of working for the welfare of the society and for future …show more content…

I have worked on a few projects, participated in various industrial training programs and competitions. Subjects like Engineering Mechanics, Automobile Engineering, Mechatronics, and Machine Design revealed to me limitless horizons in the field of Mechanical Engineering. My final year project was on "Thermo-Mechanical and Vibrational Analysis on I.C. Engine Piston” where I got an opportunity to lead the project which not only helped me gain knowledge of design applications in Mechanical Engineering but secured me a first class. This project was taken up with a goal to know its working conditions and material properties. The 4 years under-graduate course had not only provided me strong fundamentals but had encouraged me to learn more and guided me to continue research related
