Why I Want To Study Mechanical Engineering

Statement of Purpose Sujith Raj Subburaj
Curiosity is the word that drove me up-to this point in my life. My craze for computer games made me visit my uncle’s industry during my childhood days. I never knew that my curiosity would transfer from games to manufacturing. One day I explored the industry as his PC was in a problem. This is what I call love at first sight. I fell in love with manufacturing and mechanical field. Trying and failing to repair any broken stuffs in my childhood intensified my curiosity towards mechanical.
Constant support from my parents made me maintain my scores good in all classes scoring 90% in my 10th & 89.83% in my 12th. These good marks helped me gain admission into my dream course of Mechanical engineering. As I learn in a pragmatic way getting good grades in college was easy. As of now, I have 7.99 as my GPA.

Here came a new problem. I had a question from my childhood that’s never been answered. In MNC’s people work efficiently even when the CEO don’t have a direct watch. So who controls and organize them? And who ensures that the manufacturing process takes perfectly without any impediments? And I was also constantly exposed to the quote “The world has everything it needs the only thing that is needed is optimization” by my mom. Initially I didn’t know that there was a separate field of study for this optimization, management and manufacturing. I better understood the importance of optimization when I read about F.W Taylor’s Shovel modification to increase the productivity, making me to accept that having a good knowledge about a particular field doesn’t work without knowing a way to optimize and process the work. Then I came to know about INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING. Eventually I decided to do my Masters in this field all because of the naive question which I
