I believe one’s background along with their present status is the best indicative of their future. Hence, I prefer to start my statement of purpose with a summary of my background.
I am the third child of a highly educated family. My Father is a retired pilot, he had been undergoing pilot trainings in Vance Air Force Base, Enid, Oklahoma in 1969. My two older sisters both educated from the best universities in Tehran, Iran in engineering disciplines and always strive to be the best in their fields. Accordingly, I have regarded my father and sisters as my role models. Being brought up in such an environment has motivated me for reaching the highest academic levels and contributing to the advancements in the frontiers of exciting fields in engineering …show more content…

During my undergraduate studies, I mainly focused on three goals: doing well in my courses and learning the principles and fundamentals, improving my English and finally, becoming familiar with advanced topics in the field, so I could choose my future path wisely. My major was in manufacturing and production systems, but I always took my chances to look further into solid and fluid mechanics. In my senior years of undergraduate studies, my mentors and advisers in the university encouraged me to pursue my interest in the field of mechanical engineering through upper levels. By then, I decided to participate in the national higher-education entrance exam. I ranked 41st among 13,000 candidates, and granted an admission to the University of Tehran, most respected university in the region. Fortunately, my graduate studies were another step in the right direction as I managed to award as Rank 1st among all mechanical Engineering graduate students in the major of manufacturing. I graduated with a M.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering in 2011 with the GPA of 18.12 out of …show more content…

More specifically, the department of mechanical engineering with outstanding and active faculties and numerous laboratories is one of the best academic environments with a unique and excellent multi-disciplinary curriculum that I know of and would like to be part of. The UNC Charlotte offers me some of the best programs related to my fields of interest. I believe that my strong engineering background along with my passion for science will allow me to be a great researcher. My plan for the short-term future is to continue my PhD at a highly ranked university and for the long-term, to pursue a research-related opportunity that would allow me to utilize my knowledge and follow my
