I Want To Pursue A Degree In Mechanical Engineering

From my childhood, I have an inborn curiosity about how things work and how they are made. My mother, a teacher, and my father, an engineer, had, from a very young age, inculcated in me a habit of reading and the skill of problem solving. It used to be a never ending task for my parents to answer the innumerable questions that I had about everything around me. In my school days I used to tinker with things around me and started making, repairing and modifying things that I could find and school science exhibitions were a platform where I showcased things that I created. When I grew up, this quest led me to select applied science, specifically Mechanical engineering as my major field of study. I had to choose where to do my Bachelors and the

But I found my calling in the field of design and manufacturing. My specific interest in the field of manufacturing and design grew with each course that I took in the field and I excelled in all of these courses scoring a perfect grade (10/10) in Manufacturing Processes and Systems, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Integrated Design and Manufacturing I, Engineering Graphics, Integrated Design & Manufacturing II and a grade of 9/10 in CO2 Laser Technology & Sheet Metal Processing. I have done more courses in the field than any other bachelor’s student in my Institute and this is a choice purely based on my

There I did a study of the entire manufacturing processes involved in making CNC machine tools starting from foundry to the final testing and submitted a report. Also, I am currently doing a design and manufacturing Project in Automation and Material Handling for the company Acme Air Equipment Pvt. Ltd in Gujarat, India, mentored by Prof. N. Ramakrishnan visiting Professor at IIT Gandhinagar. The project objective is to design and develop a low cost semi-automatic storage and retrieval system for the company. Such a system has a huge potential for improving productivity of the Medium and Small Scale industries across the Globe. The project gave me huge insight into the effort and stages of designing an Industrial scale product and the project is in the fabrication stage now. With the problem solving skills that I have acquired over my school and college, I was able to solve the difficulties that arose during the different phases of the
