Sop For Mechanical Engineering

“The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.”

I first came across this stanza – rendered by H W Longfellow – in my grade 10 English text book. Years later, I continue to be inspired by it as it epitomizes the fact that success is an outcome of hard work. One should be aware that hard work and success are inseparable twins and they always go hand in hand. Even though I was a good enough student up to grade 10, having secured 91.1% in my final exams, I felt that I was not utilizing my potential to the best extent. If I were asked as to what was the turning point of my life, I would say that receiving motivation from my grandfather who constantly

Having secured an overall aggregate of 96.8% and emerging a School topper in the higher secondary examinations, I was able to pursue my undergraduate program at the College of

Engineering Guindy, Anna University, one of the oldest and prestigious engineering institutions in India.

CEG was in fact the first university in India to offer Mechanical Engineering course. Getting an admission in Mechanical Engineering branch at one of India’s top universities was something I had never imagined in my wildest dreams.

A fact that has fascinated me since my school days is that all technological components, be it an I.C chip or an aircraft, are ultimately involved with a certain amount of heat transfer. During my undergraduate studies, I started taking a penchant for the courses related to thermal sciences such as

Thermodynamics, Thermal Engineering, Heat and Mass Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Computational Fluid

Dynamics etc. I consider myself fortunate to have attended the lectures of eminent professors in the field of thermal sciences like Dr. Ram Prabhu and Dr.Mohan Lal. I was more importantly fascinated by the implications that these subjects have on our everyday lives. It is the passion with which they

Besides possessing an excellent academic track record, my strong theoretical background combined with my inherent interest in thermal systems which thereby made me to get an International

Job Offer during Campus placements at CEG and gave me an opportunity to work in World’s leading

Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contractors, JGC Gulf International Co. Ltd. My three and a half year experience as a Material Engineer in Piping Engineering (Mechanical) department in Projects like Jazan Construction Water Network, Replacement of Low Pressure Production Traps

(LPPT) at UGOSP (Uthmaniyah Gas Oil Separation Plant) and LPG Treating for Clients like Saudi

Aramco and Bahrain Petroleum Corporation enabled me to get a realistic exposure in the field of Oil &

Gas and modern thermal sciences with high efficiency. I was mainly involved in the preparation of technical specifications, issuance of bill of materials, evaluation of technical bids for vendor quotations, clearing site queries from construction team which made me to have a close coordination with Project

Management, Engineering and Construction team for discussions related to Piping design and material
