The extensive deviations in Worldwide Mechanization in addition Design Engineering have obligated the

act of mechanical engineer indeed crucial. It has been my sincere wish to be chosen as part of speedily
growing industry. Owing respect to the Subdivision and the Institution, I carve this Statement of
purpose.

In order to achieve the heights of excellence, I expect learning in a right surroundings and a decent
campus with a fulfilling study package, where the exploration amenities are outstanding is greatly
required.

The concept of mobility in machines controlled by human beings seemed like magic to me ever since my
childhood. This fascination has since been responsible for my inclination towards engineering. I have
been an automobile fanatic right since my primary schooling days.

I was in my 8th grade when I decided to be an automobile engineer with my ambition to excel in
engineering. I became involved in automobile engineering which brought me a step closer to my dream.
However, during my first few years, I struggled in mathematics as a result of which I acquired a number
of backlogs which resulted in 2 alternate year drops.

Being undeterred, I cleared mathematics as well as I utilised that time to obtain a Master Diploma in
Product Design using CADD software to assist me virtually designed concept of a product I could
visualise. This was followed by a 10 week industrial internship at TATA Motors Ltd. (Leading Indian
automobile manufacturing company, 17th largest automobile manufacturer in the World by volume)
which benefited me understand the various processes involved in a manufacturing industry.

I learned the importance of assertiveness, punctuality, precision and discipline while working on a
project using the concepts of Six Sigma.

My confidence cultivated as the years passed by following which, I was blessed with the opportunity to
live my dream, me and my team qualified for Formula Student Germany (FSG) 2014. Being the designer
of the first FSAE car of the college with FSG, I was destined to implement and enhance my knowledge to
develop the space frame chassis body, suspension uprights and differential mounts which involved
immense research.

As we were preparing for the competition, we also qualified for the first FS-international event of our
country, the Formula Student India. On visiting Germany, I recognized that what I have so far grasped is
just a drop compared to the ocean of race-car engineering. This was the moment when I felt the
necessity to study further and learn more. In order to help myself with the best education for my level, I
made a selection of pursuing my Masters in Mechanical engineering.

Excellence, I believe, can be achieved by determination, dedication, and hard work over and above with
the use of in-depth knowledge. On rigorously searching for appropriate courses, I came across the
immense options provided at Iowa State University.

The M.S in Mechanical engineering with the research area of Design and Manufacturing Innovation was
just the all-in-one package I could dream. On further research, I approached the Cyclone Racing FSAE
team of your university, which also uses a space frame chassis. I aspire to be selected a part of it so that
I can contribute my best to the team while I learn and implement my research.
As my objective is to work in a challenging automotive company, it would be a privilege being educated
under senior lecturer Emmanuel Agba as I believe his areas of interest cover all my aspirations. It would
be my privilege learning under a Six Sigma Black belt certified person. I am fully aware of the financial
and intellectual requirements and I assure you that I have the necessary resources to fulfil these
requirements. I look forward to be a part of your prestigious university.

Provided a break, I shall attempt to conduit my immoderate hard work into further industrious
opportunities

Letter of Intent. Pratik Soni.I have been in awe of

Megafactories
on the National Geographic C
hannel every time I see it. Seeing themanner in
which the cars are built and the various processes
involved instilled a desire in me to be partof the
whole process. This coupled with a natural flair for
science and mathematics motivated me totake up
engineering in college. The reason I took up
mechanical engineering was that I had a passion
forcars, planes, trains, trucks and all devices for
transportation. Studying subjects like
manufacturingprocesses, transmission system
design, theory of machines and mechanisms gave
me a clearer view of what I wanted to do. I seek to
design, build and engineer cars and trucks. During
my undergraduatecourse I had the opportunity to
gain knowledge about basic machining processes
like facing, turning,drilling by hands-on experience
in a college workshop. During my final year, I
completed a project inwhich I designed and
fabricated a Piston type paste filling machine.
During this phase I got theopportunity to gain a lot
of insight into the processes of casting and welding.
I have also worked withsoftware like AutoCad and
Pro-E.I took up automobile engineering as my final
year elective so that I could get initiated into the
field. Butwhat I realized was that it provided a very
limited view of what I wanted to study. I got to
know the basicfunctioning of the various
mechanical systems of the automobile like the I.C.
engine, clutches, brakes,transmission, powertrain
and differentials. Mechanical engineering by itself
has a vast number of subjects and if I wanted an in
depth understanding of a particular subject,
Masters became an obviousnecessity. A Masters
degree would allow me to delve deeper into
individual aspects of automotiveengineering by
studying them in greater detail and also to gain
practical experience by way of relevant internships.
Hence, I took up the decision to pursue an
in automobile engineering.I have been a sincere and consistent student throughout my
academic career as is evident from myacademic records. Apart from that I have an interest in
trekking and volleyball. I also love reading fictionand playing computer games in my spare time.
My interest in cars is best evident through myparticipation in various events involving building a
miniature radio controlled car. During my third yearof undergraduate studies, I made a
presentation on the Bose suspension system, one of the mostinnovative suspension systems of
the current times.I have been passionate about cars since I was a child. Germany is the Mecca
of mechanical engineering.It is the birthplace of car companies like Mercedes, BMW, Porsche,
Audi, Volkswagen, which representthe pinnacle of development in the automotive industry.I
keep reading a lot of car magazines as well like Autocar, Overdrive, Car and Bike. Apart from
that Ioften surf the internet for updates on the auto industry. I also like to surf websites like
carbibles.comwhich provide a lot of technical information on cars.I have worked for a year as a
graduate engineer trainee with Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. where I had anexposure to various
departments like marketing, production, engineering design and quality control. Ihave had a
hands-on experience on the shop-floor for the manufacture of journal bearings. I also got an
