“Complex things are accomplished using simple concepts and principles.” Thinking back to my school days, this was the essence of the thought running through my mind, while fiddling with various appliances I found at home This curiosity to know “how things work” has come a long way, from a science club member demonstrating experiments to other students at school to a “How to” event. things work." volunteering at my high school. Even today, when I look at a multi-task horizontal machining center, my mind wanders around the wonders of man-machine capabilities. Mathematical and physical sciences have exposed me to new concepts and my quest to use them for practical applications pushed me to continue my studies in mechanical device engineering led me to enroll in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum. It is after a good deal of self-evaluation that I decided to pursue postgraduate studies in Industrial Engineering. This decision came after considering my areas of interest and professional ambition which is to pursue a career in industrial engineering. Industrial engineering deals with the application of scientific, mathematical, and engineering methods to the integration and operations of complex systems. Industrial visits to Integral, Hyundai, Ashok Leyland, Lucas-TVS bus factory in Chennai during my undergraduate studies helped me gain more technical knowledge about the industries and its machines. My pursuit of knowledge never made me think that there was enough and infinite knowledge to acquire in the days to come. During my pre-final year in engineering I was tasked with leading my project team. I had a team of three people who were very good in different fields. We designed and built a rack and pinion mechanism... middle of paper... I changed my priorities and cleaned up my work by eliminating six backlogs in one semester. I firmly believe that the excellence that one develops within oneself can be attributed to the environment in which one experiences and the system to which one is exposed. An undergraduate study in your university will provide a perfect springboard to push my career in the right direction due to the great flexibility built into the learning system, infrastructure, vibration interaction with industry and exposure to the latest technologies . My learning experience in such a learning environment would be very helpful in gaining knowledge in the relevant field and I would consider myself very lucky if I am made a part of your esteemed institution. I promise that I will work hard and contribute my best and prove myself to be a valuable addition to your institution.
