Who or what made you choose to study this?


I was about 6 or 7 years old when I used to frequently visit the airshows near my home every two years. Watching fighter jets whizz past you at a great speed and talking to pilots and engineers got me very inquisitive. Additionally, I used to make frequent visits to the airport which was far away from the city. Just the pure sight of looking at flights take off and land would amaze me. This was right around the same time that I was introduced to the sport of Formula 1. More than the actual racing, I was keen on getting to know about the new improvements that the engineering team would bring to the car each season. The engineering aspect of all these experiences is what drove me to pursue my degree.

Tell us about any internships that you’ve taken part in

I worked as a mechanical engineering intern over the summer. It allowed me to apply my theoretical knowledge in a real-world setting. Working on design and development projects gave me hands-on experience and allowed me to see the impact of my work. The supportive and knowledgeable team provided valuable guidance and mentorship, enhancing my skills and passion for mechanical engineering. Overall, it was a valuable and rewarding experience.

What do you hope to do when you graduate?


I hope to start my career as a mechanical engineer in an engineering firm, where I can continue to learn and grow while making a positive impact on society. I am eager to use my technical skills to work on innovative and challenging projects, while also contributing to the advancement of the field. My ultimate goal is to become a leader in my industry and make a significant contribution to the world through engineering.
