PERSONAL STATEMENT

Since a young age, I have been fascinated by how mechanical items work. Mathematics and physics have continuously been my favorite subject throughout my education, mostly due to the way it impacts on the real world. Through taking mechanical engineering at university, I have the golden opportunity to proceed with these two desires of mine. I have enjoyed carrying out practical experiments, which can demonstrate by using mathematical calculations. Watching vehicles on the road in front of my house when I was approximately ten years old inspired me to take up my hobby of remote-controlled cars. I wanted to know how they worked, how I could improve their performance, or even try to change it into a different vehicle type. I took my remote-controlled car apart, watched my uncle fix his old Suzuki swift, which inspired me to make my inquiries about using lower voltage motors on remote-controlled vehicles. Having an electrician as an uncle helped me to learn the basics of how the circuits worked in series, working with LED lights. Also, I gained an understanding of domestic electrical safety.

At college, I studied engineering and excelled in the subject. Engineering has increased my confidence in my academic ability, and my teachers continuously stretch and challenge me to reach my full potential. I have learned the correct formulae to analyze problems, evaluate findings, and develop solutions to determine the best course of action. By the end of my current 2-year engineering course, I am confident that my career choice is correct. Mechanical principles and the Theory of flight engineering have given me an understanding of aerodynamics, frictional and tensional force, and other mechanical aspects that affect designing. CNC helped to increase my skills in CAD software. I also use CAD software at home to discover and gain new skills in designing. Working in the fab lab has given me hands-on experience using the laser cutter, vinyl cutters, and machines such as milling, drilling, and lathe machines. I believe these practical skills have helped to prepare me for university.

Researching multiple universities has revealed that your university has excellent industrial employment links. I feel the engineering course is ideally suited to the field in which I want to study. There are tremendous career opportunities available for graduates in almost every sector of engineering. As a whole, my talents and determination, along with your tuition, will give me the confidence that I will succeed in becoming a professional engineer.

I have previously worked as a waiter in Wraphic Indian Burrito Company in Birmingham’s Bullring Centre. Wrapchic has been excellent for my interpersonal and confidence skills as it involves communicating with people. I have now gained skills in problem-solving, health, and safety at work, and this has also introduced me to the importance of teamwork, which I had never experienced before.

In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, read, listen to music, and cycle. I also go to the air training corps (ATC). ATC has allowed me to learn about gliding and have the experience of flying. Numerous other activities also provide challenges, excitement, and adventure. The knowledge I pick up along the way through structured lectures and hands-on experience on the training planes has enabled me to prove how focused and engaged I am.

I look forward to the challenge of the university and a varied and exciting career in engineering.
