Statement of Purpose

I am pleased to introduce myself as K.Nagasubramaniam pursuing final year Mechatronics in Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, India and it is with immense pleasure that I present this statement of purpose for applying for the prestigious Doctorate Programme in your World Class Institution.

First of all, I am glad that I joined the UG programme in the emerging Department of Mechatronics, especially as it also coincided with my area of interest. I am also proud that this has enabled me to apply to a programme in an institution of global repute.

My deep routed interest in Mechatronics has made me call my profile “Automating Souls”. Please allow me to cite an example, where, while participating in a group discussion on Opportunities in Engineering, I gave a passionate lecture on the value of studying Mechatronics that stirred the interest of the other participants.

My interest in Automation and Robotics was apparent even during my schooldays that was further reinforced when I joined the Bachelor Programme. My hands on acquaintance towards converting basic electronics and soft coding into real world systems during my childhood days, has now enabled me integrate my knowledge of embedded systems into the mechanical streams which one finds in automation and robotics.

Some of the technical disciplines like C, embedded systems, Microprocessors, Micro controllers, Design of Mechatronics systems, Robotics & Machine vision system, Applied Hydraulics & Pneumatics and Sensors & Signal processing that I have studied to the core in my academics added a lot of value to my knowledge of Engineering. I believe the foundation provided by the above will surely assist me to drive to the depth of my research.

My Technical skills which I sharpened facilitated me to score the 1st rank in the University (till on date). My technical subject knowledge and experience on practical systems helped me to find a place in the top industries in India, who gave the whole projects in my hand to work with. In the similar way I believe this masters program will surely assist me to ignite the burning desire for research on my area of interest

I would like to submit that I am constantly doing practical experiments and various creditable projects to consolidate the theoretical knowledge that I routinely acquire in my area of interest. Safety, security and sophistication form the essence of any automated system. I would like to apply this knowledge to Robotics and Automotive technologies. Not only would I like to automate a thoroughly different system like a cricket ground, but also invent new automating techniques for achieving it.

My recent research proposals and projects of automation in automobile and mechanical systems via software has urged me to move towards involvement in sustained research and in search of the necessary guidance to attain some real path-breaking achievements and epoch making inventions in a domain that is yet to be explored. I am very confident that I can really master the nuances of this field which would enable me to attain the pinnacle of knowledge given the necessary resources, motivation and intellectual support to translate my dreams into reality.

Just as bees are attracted to nectar, so are students attracted to an environment where all their passions reside. Singapore has developed a reputation as the best place in the world for pursuing higher education in Mechatronics, and NTU is the jewel in the crown with world class facilities, infrastructure and renowned faculty. It is this that has made me apply to this course as I am very sure that it will quench my thirst for excellence in this field.

Also, my inquiry about the research labs, environment and faculty guidelines of NTU has ignited my interest to a burning ambition to do research in my chosen domain only at NTU. This statement is not mere words, but an expression of my inner passion and zeal for achieving the summit in my area of interest in an excellent institution.

I look forward eagerly to the honour of receiving confirmation of admission, and I assure you that I will put forth my best efforts to live up to the exacting standards set and also strive to bring more laurels to your great institution.
