Applying for : Master 's in Industrial engineering for Fall 2011
When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, “As much as the living are to the dead” ,aptly defines the importance of education in deciding how successful a human will turn out to be irrespective of where he started from. Science has always been instrumental in easing the hardship of human existence throughout the history of mankind. With this fascination I took MPC (mathematics, physics, chemistry) as my majors in my intermediate education (XI &XII) .After clearing the AIEEE (All India Engineering Entrance Examination) and ending up in the top 1% of the total 9,00,000 students taking the examination, I went …show more content…
While the courses such as production management and industrial engineering provided a basic understanding of the subject, I am currently pursuing operations research which fascinated me very much. Throughout the period of my undergraduate study, I tried to understand the finer nuances of the subject by practically implementing the concepts and principles that I learned. I had completed a mini project on “Testing of steam turbines and control systems” at BHEL (Bharat heavy electrical limited) which is rated on quite decent scale of …show more content…
I owe it immensely to my summer training program “Industrial familiarization” in HMT (Hindustan machine tools) cochin, where I realized how I had to proceed towards my goal. As in a training program I had an opportunity to visit all the shops right from casting, small parts machining, heavy parts machining, assembly, storage and dispatch etc, I received a detailed knowledge of the various processes involved in manufacturing of lathe machines and printing machines. After completing my training, I came to know about the problems that a manufacturing unit would face and the importance of practical applications of production and operations management techniques like optimization, forecasting, decreasing the cost of transportation etc. It is after this I decided that the immediate step towards my goal would be to pursue Masters of Science in Industrial Engineering as this provides me with knowledge about industry as well as help me gain valuable research
