ENGINEERING. My fascination for engineering has been longstanding and persistant. Ever
since my school days I have enjoyed studying mathematical and physicalsciences and have had
an inclination for problem solving and desire to know more, fromwhich, I drew the inspiration to
imbibe the true spirit of engineering in a prestigiousinstitution. I am currently doing my final
year of undergraduate degree in ManufacturingEngineering (a Mechanical oriented branch) at
Anna University Chennai, India. As my awar enes s
of var i ous concept s of mechani cal engi neer i ng gr ew my z eal understand them
in greater detailed heightened. My undergraduate course has providedme with a firm foundation
of the basic principles of mechanical engineering and thecourses in Engineering Mechanics,
Mechanics of Machines, Thermodynamics,
Fluidmechani cs , Mat er i al s ci ence & Met al l ur gy, Manuf act ur i ng pr oces s es ,
Met r ol ogy, hydraulics and pneumatics, Mechatronics and Design of machine elements have
providedcommendable ground work for advanced study. I also enhanced my software skills

am also a member of YOUTH RED CROSS.I FEEL that getting education in a country other
than ones own is an education itself.Living in such an environment with people having similar
goals and aspiration is anenthralling experience in ones academic life and is of considerable
importance in ones professional career. It is a strong belief in my family that the European
education systemhas the best to offer in the whole world. If I can get an opportunity to be a part
of thatintellectually stimulating environment am sure my talent will be put to optimal use. I
feelthat graduate study at an European university is the best type of further educational
this juncture because of the flexibility incorporated in its learning system, its
infrastructureand t he i nt ens e i nt er act i on wi t h t he i ndus t r y a nd expos ur e t o t h

interest are the mostimportant factors which motivated me to choose this programme to
pursue my graduatestudy.My goals are clear. I would like to pursue a Masters Degree in the field
of mechanicalengineering for 2 years from August 2010 to June 2012 and strive for excellence in
