The high-paced surge in energy requirements combined with stringent ecological protocols has

persuaded the world to reconsider its approach to efficient energy systems. Traditional energy
sources like thermal plants and hydroelectric projects are not expected to be sufficient for the
needs of future generations. As a mechanical engineer, I wish to make an effort to the
development of lower-order models for finding an innovative break to this end. My academic
background has motivated my interest in this field and imparted me with the necessary skills.
Since my school days, I have had an affinity for science subjects – in particular Mathematics and
Physics. This proclivity led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in Civil engineering. The
course from Institute of Engineering, Pulchowk Campus, Lalitpur, Nepal covered the
fundamentals of Applied Mechanics such as applied statics and applied dynamics, Strenand other
pertinent advanced concepts. To advance my education, I decided to pursue a master’s in the
same field. While learning innovative topics from mechanical engineering and implementing
them through real-world projects, my expertise as an engineer has reached newer levels.
 
In the last term of my post-graduation, I did modelling and structural analysis of cable stayed
bridges, high rise buildings and Non-linear finite element analysis of Industrial ground floor slab
for the major research. The model provides a convenient and inexpensive way to compress
plastic water bottles and tin cans. The compressed product is easier to transport and more
convenient to handle during the processes at recycling plants.  The recycler is equipped with a
container unit that stores the material until there is enough volume of material for crushing. I also
implemented a waste bin model collector that can be positioned in public places and emptied into
the crusher as it gets filled. This project taught me about the efforts which go into creating a
project from the beginning. I also became aware of the importance of collaboration and
management skills for project execution.
After judiciously evaluating the research works that are being executed at the University of
California, Berkeley, I will become passionate to join the institute as a research fellow.  I have
taken an in-depth look into mechanics of materials and have great hopes that I can become a part
of research team. My experiences and expertise will assuredly support me in my pursuit to
become a contributing researcher in the domain of mechanical engineering.
It would be an honor to secure admission to pursue a doctorate at the University of California,
Berkeley. I am confident that I will rise up to the eminent standards put forward by your
university. Given the opportunity to study at your university, I will persevere to bring out the
best performance. The competitive atmosphere at your academy will motivate me to bring out
the best in me. I am hopeful that you find my background, personality, and experience fitting for
your institute. ”
