    My keenness to be involved with aircraft took a definite shape in the form of my wanting to become an astronaut or be involved in Aerospace Engineering. Working in an organisation like NASA as an Aerospace Engineer became my ambition for life. Since then I have been enthusiastic about gaining all kinds of knowledge regarding aviation and aerospace engineering. I also visited ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organisation, the Indian equivalent of NASA, located in Sriharikota, a place in the southern part of India. Though there was a great deal of difference in the technology used in the space centres in the US and in India, I was able to learn a great deal about Chandarayan, the first successful mission constructed by an Indian as the project director MylswamyAnnadurai gave a detailed explanation about it.…

    My will to become an aerospace engineer comes indirectly from my father. Not that he is an aerospace engineer himself but because he gave me the love of space. Indeed, my father is a formal civil engineer and he spent a big part of his engineer's career to build runways for airports. He used to take me with him on his workplaces when during my childhood. There were many planes taking off and that fascinated me. later, when I was eleven years old, he took me with him in a small plane to show me how the cockpit was.at that moment I decided that I wanted to be a pilot and I did everything in order to realize my dream: I tried to travel by plane as many times as possible.in high school, I was not the best in every subject but I was untouchable in math and physics. Unfortunately my dream was broken after I graduated from high school, as I went to pass a test in the company my father worked for, a company that also formed future pilots, to determine if I had the abilities to become a pilot. Unfortunately for me I did not pass the test because of my eye's problem. Indeed, since I am nearsighted, the testers told me I was not qualified for their pilot program. I was really disappointed but I still wanted to find a job related to aerospace, planes and which fitted my abilities in math and physics. I searched on internet and I found the job that matched all the specifications I wanted.it was aerospace engineering.in my researches, I also found that engineers' job is to innovate, create new things to ameliorate living conditions to make the world better. Those characteristics caught my attention and really encourage me to in…

    Having grown up in a household with a „hands-on‟ father, I became interested in the technological aspects of life from a young age. My passion for technology was the deciding factor in choosing a technical high school over an academic high school. I completed grade 12 in Rhodesfield High School with Mechanical Engineering as technical subject. My secondary education was complemented in 2006 with a National Diploma in Mechatronic Engineering from Tshwane University of Technology. In 2011, I realised that I needed to expand my knowledge in the technical environment to stay competitive, and thus enrolled for a part time Bachelor of Technology degree in…

    At the moment i am studying BTEC level 3 extended diploma in Engineering” I enjoy many parts of the course my favorite parts are the maths and the mechanics side. Math’s is something I really enjoy I sometimes come to points where I find certain equations too difficult, so when it comes to the time where we are would be assessed or have assignments I would stay after school for math’s workshops to help me understand what ever I’m finding difficult. Such as subjects like algebra where at the start it was difficult, but over time spent in various workshops I gained an understanding of it so that now it’s become something so simple to me. At the moment where learning more about engines such as jet engines and car engines and how they work and where also going to put in the math’s aspect to…

    Probably this is the most challenging question in the near future of my life. But in my opinion finishing University with a degree as good as possible will be the best start you can have. Also I think it is very important to have the best basis you can reach for your future life and what would be better than an outstanding result at University. Furthermore I would probably try to finish graduate classes. Right after this big step there will be several ways possible. I haven’t decided yet, what kind of way would be the best to choose? But my time as a student will go on for at least 3-4 years if everything works exactly like I imagined it. So there are many days left to make my final decision. One way could be, that I will try to introduce myself to several companies, such as Boeing, Airbus, Sikorsky, Lockheed Martin or Cassidian. One of my dreams is to become an engineer in the military aircraft sector. This whole part of the aerospace industry includes a lot of challenging topics, of which every single one is totally interesting to me. But in my case I would prefer to become an engineer in developing several new parts in the cockpit, including the HUD (Head-up display) and improvements in controlling the whole Jet (Flight Control System). After all the FCS is probably the most important part of an airplane, because you will not be able to fly a modern Fighter without any sort of electronically support. Another reasonable way would be getting the chance to become a pilot. It was always a dream of me to join the military and to help protecting our country from whatever there will be. Unfortunately is it not that easy to become a pilot of the German forces and the Luftwaffe (Air Force) is not as big as in the United States. For that reason I have to think about it twice and maybe there is the possibility to join some other forces under special circumstances. It is never easy to reach your goals especially when they are very…

    "In this world, you either have an excuse or a story. I prefer to have a story" is the personal goal I have set for myself. This reinforces my belief in taking responsibility for the decisions of my life. Being the son of a scientist at DRDO, India, I have been fascinated about research and development since my early school days. I understand the importance of an accurate and precise instrument, no matter how small or big it is and also the worthlessness of the same in context of even a single human life. I achieved All India 25th rank in CIPEL Science and Mathematics Olympiad during high school life. I was awarded scholarship from my school for academic excellence and all round performance in co-curricular activities like quizzing, debating, singing et cetera from my 6th grade right up to 10th standard. I did a project on Analysis of various Indian Missiles in 8th Standard which gave me an insight into various propellant systems and thus got me interested into exploring the vast arenas of science and technology. In my senior secondary school at DAV Chandrasekharpur, I participated in a State Level Chemistry Exhibition and won the second prize. We had demonstrated manufacturing procedure of bio-diesel from used vegetable oil in a cost effective way. After passing out with 80% marks I chose Institute of Technical Education and Research, Bhubaneswar to pursue my undergraduate studies. Though I was adept in C++ programming in senior secondary level, I chose Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my branch of studies to gain technical prowess in one of the most budding fields of research and development. I will, any day, rate practical skills far more important than theoretical know-how. Hence, as a fresher I was an active member of the college Robotics club and the Society of Automotive Engineers. As a sophomore, I represented my university at TECHFEST 2010 (IIT Bombay) and was awarded certificate of ‘Engineering Excellence’ in…
