Mechatronics Engineering Personal Statement

708 Words3 Pages

Mechatronics have always been my passion. It began when, as a young boy, I saw my uncle, a vehicle mechanic fixing up his car and overhauling the engine with utmost interest and dedication. As I grew up, I started helping him sometimes in the process and gradually found the electro-mechanics of vehicles interesting and motivating. But the question ‘how’ repeated and reverberated in my mind countless number of times. Most of these inquiries I have encountered have been close to: “How does this system work?” or “How are these components designed?” All these curiosities led me to find myself pursuing an undergraduate program in Mechatronics Engineering. The program took me through the pathway with a display of replies to those questions along with answers to numerous unasked ones. The journey, instead of lessening the density of queries that clouded my mind, intensified it. My keenness …show more content…

My inclination towards mechatronics found a practical form during my internship at Ashok Leyland (Industry chapter), the second largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in India, where I was exposed to in depth knowledge about industrial design practices and problem-solving techniques which helped me to solve long lasting problems including “Shift Cable failure in the Automatic Manual Transmission (AMT) vehicles” and “Heavy warranty failures involved in Over Drive Gear Pitting at Tipper and Haulage Trucks”. During this task, I was introduced to AVL Cruise, a vehicle performance simulation software and ROMAX Designer which simulates real-time road load data on the concept level gearbox. This experience further reinforced my disposition to join an automotive industry where mechatronics plays a vital role. Eventually I joined Rane Group of

    In recent years, the automobile has suffered. The combination of global warming and skyrocketing gas prices reveals an unpromising future for the car and car industry. Given that Henry Ford perfected the assembly line in 1909, it seems safe to say that teenagers have been lusting after cars for almost a century. When we were fifteen or sixteen, all we dreamed about was getting our license. Most of us just wanted to stop bumming rides from our parents, but we also wanted the freedom that came along with it.

    To establish the projects successfulness a set of tests were conducted, these tests observe and analyse every part of the prototype setup. The results to these tests are compared against the project aim and consequently are used to formulate a conclusion top the project. As set out in chapters 2 and 3 both the electrical/electronic and mechanical systems must meet a set of requirements; these requirements are based on the project objectives and deliverables. The tests conducted measure the prototypes adherence to these requirements, the tests provide data that can be formulated and examined to establish the functionality of each system. There are three types of tests carried out within this project, preliminary testing, functional testing and characterisation testing; each of type of tests examines the system in a greater depth than the preceding test type with characterisation testing being the most in-depth.

    In 1908 Ford had changed the game with the first mass production car in the United States, and still today the automobile sits close to the center of the daily lives of many Americans. Since that time it has remained the main way to travel across the country and with around 100 years of use from 1920 to today, the automobile has gone through a fair share of changes. The automobile has adapted to many new innovations in technology, many new ways for the automobile to be used, thousands of American regulations, many changes in safety, and created one of the largest manufacturing battles on the planet. These changes are not entirely clean as there was still some continuity in the technology, laws, and safety in the automobile.
