Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do, than by
the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade
winds in your sails. Explore Dream. Discover. -Mark Twain
Dreams are what made the world, what it is today. In an era of competition and
excellence, engineering has taken strides which our fore fathers never even dreamt of. To be an
excellent instrument for the development of our world we must be educated, cultured, refined
and thoughtful. Knowledge is what elevates man to a disciplined being. To be an erudite is not
only about possessing education but also having the skill to implement it in a practical world.
The years spent in college are not only just about studies but also about inculcating good habits
and developing experience to face the real world.
My muse-Mechanical Engineering
Ever since I rode my fist bicycle, I was captivated by the way two wheels, some rods and
few ingenious mechanisms could propel you to thrilling acceleration. My fascination with speed
and a constant curiosity about workings of machines took my focus to a career in mechanical
field. Ever since I started my engineering degree, I have constantly looked for ways to enhance
my familiarity with machines and their functions.
Right from the start of my basic education, I have consistently maintained a good
academic record. I had a liking for mathematics and physics at school. I studied Mechanical
Engineering in P E S College of Engineering under VTU (Visvesvaraya Technological
University), Karnataka, which is one of the best engineering colleges in India. Our college has
a heritage which has been continuously evolving from past 50 years. In my undergraduate
curriculum I have developed a very strong fundamental knowledge in subjects like Strength of
materials, Fluid mechanics, Heat and Mass Transfer, Manufacturing Process, Finite element
methods and so on. I have secured First Class with Distinction in Mechanical Engineering and I
am among the top students in Mechanical Engineering Department in my college. Subjects such
as Design of Machines, Dynamics of Machines, Mechanical vibrations and Kinematics of
Machines gave me a great insight into the vast and intense field of mechanical Engineering.
To apply practically what I had learnt in class, I have done a project during my
engineering. I did this project in NAL (National Aerospace Laboratories), Bangalore named
Wind Energy Storage Systems. This project analyze in detail the relative feasibility
associated with the compressed air energy storage systems, flow battery and hydrogen
electrolysers/fuel cell storage systems by energy analysis. Additionally, we analyze the benefits
of integrating these energy storage systems with projects future wind power developments.
Project also focus on selection and design and implementation of energy storage system for NAL
built 500 KW low cost FRP technology horizontal axis wind turbine to harness the wastage wind
power when the wind farm is disconnected from power grid even if the turbines are capable of
producing electricity due to low demand. It also throws light on design of storage system for
standalone 1KW wind turbine for remote village application.
Our generation is stirred by the technology aided by computers which is rapidly
growing. This technology is so potent that it has not left even a single field out of its grasp. But
still do not wish to leave my core liking for Production and Manufacturing. I wish to take up
PRODUCTION ENGINEERING as my future branch of studies as I find the combination
intriguing and promising.
In history, Germany has been a very technologically sound and sophisticated nation. We see in
our daily life German companies have made an impeccable mark in field that stretch from ocular
optics to commercial automobiles. The Volkswagen Beetle has stood the test of time and is one
of the most revered passenger cars even today, which is a brilliant example of German
engineering spread throughout the world. I was also intrigued by the countrys rich culture and
heritage. All the above sways made me to look for prospects here.
When I decided to pursue my higher studies, I began enquires into various opportunities in
Germany. I conferred with my teachers, college mates, family and friends. Ive heard by peoples
interpretation that the RWTH Aachen University is an excellent institution. It has come to my
cognizance that this is one of the finest universities in the world offering various courses. It
would be my privilege to be part of this institution and I am sure it will impel me to complete my
degree with the highest possible merit.
I believe that a deep and thorough understanding of concepts can only be acquired
through a well structured and intense program like the one offered in your university. I believe
that the professional guidance and excellent research facilities at your institution will help me
greatly in achieving my career goals. I am sure this course will bring out the best in me and help
me become a better engineer and fulfill my dreams. Albert Einstein has said Success is due to
99% of imagination and 1% of perspiration.
In conclusion, I would like to state that my foundation in basic engineering is solid and would
like to build upon this by continuing my further education at your university. I understand that
you are looking for a candidate with intelligence, character, poise and dedicated sprit. If I am
given a chance, I am sure I will fulfill your expectations and surpass them. I hope you will oblige
and grant me a passageway to my dream by providing me with admission to your university in
the course of PRODUCTION ENGINEERING.
Sincerely,
