Management has always piqued my interest since, unlike a desk job, it requires a human connection. I studied Mechanical Engineering (ME) as an undergraduate and now want to combine my technical talents with management knowledge to pursue a career in Engineering Management. An MS in the same field will allow me to concentrate on Supply Chain Management, which has recently aroused my interest. In the long run, I'm driven to find cost-effective yet optimum technical solutions that improve people's lives.
Physics and mathematics were my favorite subjects in school. The methodology used by the teachers who taught such courses significantly impacted my drive to learn more about and master the relevant approaches. I understood that taking ME classes would be a natural next step, so I pursued it as an undergraduate.
I was enthralled with Machines and their underlying technical mechanics during my undergraduate studies. In my first Design of Mechanical Elements lab session, gigantic machinery completely overwhelmed me. Observing the fracture of the components, as well as the rupture patterns and tensions at which the breakdown occurred, was fascinating to me. The lab sessions in Dynamics of Machine and the courses in Machine Design, Manufacturing Processes, and Metal Cutting, and Instrumentation reaffirmed my interest in the mechanical process, from design to simulation to recalibration to automation.
My capstone undergraduate project was completed in a group of three people. We were interested in the issue because of the mechanism's ability to transmit power simply, efficiently, and frictionlessly. The project's key goal was to design the mechanism's three essential components. To model the design in 2D before moving on to 3D part modeling and assembly and to use simulation to identify the best material and speed for the mechanism. AutoCAD and CATIA were used for the 2D and 3D models, respectively. ANSYS was used to run the simulation. First, static analysis was carried out with various materials at various speeds, yielding findings that showed the degree of strains, stresses, and deformations created along with the mechanism, allowing the appropriate speed and material to be identified.
Second, modal analysis was done on several materials, revealing the deformations in their various modes and reconfirming the appropriate material. My coworkers completed the part modeling while I conducted the design and analysis. I was in charge of ensuring that we were all aware of the team's progress and had complete knowledge of the project requirements while sticking to the deadlines. This experience allowed us to put everything we'd learned in class into practice, whether designing, modeling in CATIA, or analyzing in ANSYS; my main lessons were managing timeframes, stress, and team accountability.
Aside from academics, I regularly participated in the college's Annual Sports Meet, winning first and second place in throw ball and basketball on multiple occasions. I was also a member of the XYZ Club, which worked to create a racing vehicle for the 2018 XYZ INDIA event. I worked in the XYZ department and assisted the team with the exhaust system design calculations. In addition, I was a member of the XYZ club in college, which aimed to provide appropriate technology to impoverished schools in the area. We installed intelligent boards in roughly 20 government schools as part of the XYZ program to leverage digital education, and we also hosted a literary event at our institution to encourage soft skills among schoolchildren.
Throughout my undergraduate years, I was constantly involved in activities that involved people, interactions, and teamwork. It was thrilling every time I worked in a group. As a result, I realized that management is my genuine calling.
Coming from a non-management background, I want to learn more about entrepreneurship and management concepts. Pursuing ME as an undergraduate has improved my understanding of physics and its applications, which will help me prepare for my future graduate studies in Engineering Management. My short-term objective is to work for a few years in a respectable firm to gain the necessary industrial experience. In the long run, I want to create my own manufacturing company.
After much thought, I've concluded that XYZ's MS in Engineering Management is one of the area's most highly regarded, thorough, and specialized programs. The curriculum provides an appropriate mix of business and engineering courses, which is ideal for my needs and would enable me to leverage my present managerial and technical skills to pursue a meaningful career. My talks with existing XYZ students have further added to my conviction. Prof. XYZ's work on the subject of XYZ, which coincides nicely with my research interests, fascinates me in particular. Working under his/her/their supervision would be a fantastic opportunity.
