Name : Passya Ranga Reddy

Intended Major : Environmental Engineering

Degree Sought: M.S. leading to Ph.D
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
I introduce myself as a student of the undergraduate program in Civil Engineering at
Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, a premier state run institution accredited 'A'
by the National Board of Accreditation and the University Grants commission.
I use this opportunity to elucidate my career objectives and give in quintessence my
educational background and the leit-motif.

My Educational Background and Academic Achievements :

Since my school days, I have been interested in mathematics and physical science. My
scholastic record has been meritorious right through school and higher secondary
education. I was place 2nd in our district in the 7th class Board Examination.
With my propensity towards mathematics and physics, it was but natural for me to
choose mathematics-physics-chemistry as my group for post secondary education. My
fascination for engineering was from an early stage though not a conscious one. I
got through the undergraduate entrance examination in which I was place among the top
1% students of 1,70,000 students who appeared for the exam. My basic interest in the
field of metals motivated me to go further in its study and it resulted in taking civil
engineering as my major in the undegraduate study. The undergraduate program, apart
from a strong emphasis on engineering fundaments, provided a broad scientific and
technical background. Now my perspectives in this field are clear and I plan to continue
my education in Environmental Engineering.

Why I Want to Pursue MS

Excellence in any sphere of life can be achieved through determination, hardwork,
perseverance and dedication. Yet, lack of in-depth knowledge of the subject leaves the
conceptual skills in complete. The nature of undergraduate courses does not offer
scope for individual expression and rapidly advancing technology necessities master of
particular area. In world where technology evolves everyday, I need specialized training
beyond my undergraduate level to have competitive edge and help me keep pace with
new generation of problems and product applications.

Why Environmental Engineering ?

My interest in Environments engineering stems from the fact that it holds good
opportunities and provides a wide scope fro research. I have been fascinated by the type
of practical challenges it poses .An effective practice in Environmental Engineering
demands the aspect of analysing, thinking logically and visualising the impacts of a
problem.

Why Your University ?

I have selected your university because I found the graduate program to suit my needs
perfectly. The eminent faculty and excellentresearch activities and a balanced academic
program are conducive to my study. I feel that I can realize of my aspirations that have
nurtured a long. The excellent reputation of your school commands makes it an ideal
choice for me to apply for the graduate program.As part of your family of students, I
hope to imbibe the best of what you offer, extend the breadth of my knowledge and
engage in research. On my part, I assure you the hardwork and perseverance necessary
for research work and I know it is not always as exciting as the published results seem to
indicate. Nevertheless, I believe that I possess the motivation intellectual ability and

Scientists and Engineers have always been held in high regard by the society and have
served as a source of inspiration
for many. Propelled by the strong desire to follow the foot steps of the great men and
blessed with a natural flair for math
and an innate scientific temper, I set out on the path of engineering.

Over the next few years, my goal will be to expand my mental horizons,
develop my problem detection,
analysis and solution skills, and gain a comprehensive knowledge of my field. I look at
the MS and Ph.D as tools for me to
develop my analytical skills further, to work with the best people and grow with their
association and guidance. Five years from
now, I see myself as an independent researcher, with some good work behind me and
aiming for the future. Specialization
becomes a necessity not only to understand new technologies but also to improve upon
existing ones. It is to achieve this
sophistication that I wish to pursue my graduate studies in Communication field having
preference towards DSP.
My years in school, apart from providing a strong foundation in Math and Basic
Sciences, also enabled me to develop
my overall personality.Right from my childhood I had a strong penchant for learning and
this ensured my consistent excellence in academics. In my 12 years of schooling I have
always stood first in my class and I was awarded as best student for every year in my
schooling from 5th standard. This background imbibed in me created a strong interest in
sciences towards fulfilling my desire I took the first step by performing well and
securing a very good rank in the engineering Entrance Exam to get into Jawaharlal Nehru
Technological University College of Engineering, one of the most prestigious institutions
in INDIA.. During my undergraduate study I have diligently worked towards expanding
the horizons of my knowledge.

In my four years of undergraduate study I have worked hard to master the fundamentals
of the subject. It is here that I developed a strong inclination for Communication courses.
I performed extremely well in courses on Signals & Systems, Probability & Random
Variables, Analog Communications, Digital Communications, and Digital Signal
Processing. . But I am little more penchant towards DSP. One of the greatest
achievements I have done during my Under graduate program is to get selected as a
nominee for the gold medal awarded to the best student of 1997-2001 batch from JNTU
College of Engineering.

English has been the language I admire than any other and I am always powerful
with it. I have felt at ease in using this language for my written and spoken expression.
With my excellent communication skills I have always been friendly to the fellow
students and equally close to my faculty. I have always played a vital role in student fora
and seminars. I represnted my Department in many technical meets. I benefited
immensely from the good curriculum and the expert guidance of
my professors. Apart from this, I worked independently to learn more about
the contemporary systems available at our lab and satisfy my academic
curiosities.My communication skills and knowledge of the subject enabled me in getting
placement with Messrs. 'wipro technologies' as a Systems engineer in campus
recruitment.

My association with a professor as an assistant for his technical paper for small period
has given me a true interesting flavor of research. After that, while pursuing my Masters
degree, and eventually
the Doctoral degree, I intend to involve myself in active research and work
towards a productive career. An assistantship besides providing me financial
assistance would gain me valuable research experience.
I recognize the fact that with its commitment
towards fostering intellectual excellence, is a remarkably strong and attractive place to
embark upon an academic career.I have learnt the departmental information on the Net
and other sources about the extensive research being undertaken in your department .
Under the guidance of your eminent faculty and state-of-the-art facilities available, I look
forward to obtaining quality higher education at your university.I also believe that I
possess the required preparation, motivation, intellectual ability and commitment to do
justice to a demanding graduate program offered at your esteemed university.Given the
creative freedom abounding in your campus and the able support of your magnificent
faculty, I am confident of contributing my mite to. I look forward to a challenging career
in research, which may even be arduous and demanding at times. But then, the thrill one
gets when one discovers something new at the frontiers of human knowledge, however
small the contribution maybe, is unparalleled . I sincerely hope that my association with
your institution would be a fruitful one.

The secret of mankind's success,strength and glory is knowledge.Knowledge is not

something we are born with.Through curious observation and constant learning the
wealth of knowledge is amassed in a whole life time.Knowledge thus gained has the
power to shape our personality gradually.What we like to do or what we choose to do
reflects our basic innerself.
As a person who is inquisitive, hardworking,determined and as one who would
never like to miss any chance to enrich knowledge-it is but natural that i chose research
as my career.This Statement of purpose elucidates the objectives of my graduate study
and i hope it will help you in evaluating me as a prospective student of your university.

Excellent in any sphere of life can be achieved through determination,

hardwork,perseverance and education.Yet lack of indepth knowledge of the subject
leaves the conceptual skills incomplete.It is in this contest i would like to pursue a course
that not only supplements the knowledge that i possess but also provides a strong
foundation to my research oriented study.

My specific in for my graduate program includes the field of Digital Signal

Processing(D.S.P) and Radar Communications.The fields I am interested happened to be
highlt transient and latest devolpments are anticipated in a matter of few years.D.S.P with
its rich history and impertance in various diverse fields as Acoustics, Radar, Speech
communications and many others is always been a fascinating as well as a challenging
subject to me at ny under graduate level.The impertance of D.S.P appears to be
increasing with no visible signs of saturation.My fascination towards Signal Proceesing
made me go beyond the curriculum schedule.With the financial support
from ...........................................a leading service provider to the ISRO(Indian Space
Research Organisation) I started a project in.................... which deals with the design of
Signal Processing unit to recieve and process the Acoustic Data from the satellite launch
vehicle.I am confident of this project enhancing my analytical and design skills and make
a prospective student.

In my graduate program my goal is to expand my mental horizons, enhance my

problem detection,analysis and solution skills and gain a comprehensive knowledge in
my field.I look at M.S and Ph.D programs as essential tools towards excelling in my field
of interest and platform
where I can work with incredibly talented individuals.I believe that specialisation in this
particular field is necessary which not only is to acquaint myself with new technology
but to improve upon existing ones.I wish to pursue my graduate studies in D.S.P to
achieve this sophistication.

Hence i realise the need for me to study at the center stage of activity in these
fields.My earnest desire to continue my further stidies at your graduate school system
from the fact that it is one of the good universities in U.S.A having a long time record of
academic excellence and is backed by expert faculty and very good research facilities.

I am very clear as to my career aspirations.Education I believe is a life long

process.I therefore wish to pursue a Doctoral degree after my M.S and thereafter
combine research and teaching as a career.I am fully aware that your curriculum requires
that I summon all my resources and aver that I have necessary commitment,intelligence
and stamina and to look forward to it all.I am convinced that my study at the department
would be a meaningful and rewarding experience.I look forward to have a long and
profitable association with your esteemed university.Thank you for the oppurtunity given
to me to express myself.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND CAREER GOALS

Applicant’s Name :
Degree Sought : M.S in Industrial Engineering
Intended term of entry : Fall 2002
The importance of analyzing the use and cost of resources like Men, Money, Materials,
Machinery and Equipment to achieve increased productivity in the interest of the society
as a whole has led the scientific community to devote much attention to the subject of
Industrial Engineering. I find this highly practical science to be extremely interesting and
have decided to pursue Graduate Studies in this field.
I always had a penchant for Mathematics and the basic sciences or in fact, for any area
requiring analytical thinking. Hence when I had to make a decision regarding my
Undergraduate studies, Engineering was an obvious choice as it is a field with a lot of
scope for applying analytical skills. Through my desire and motivation, my efforts
materialized when I stood in the top 2.8% among 100,000 candidates in the statewide
exam for admission into Engineering schools. Mechanical Engineering suggested itself to
me because of its diversity of application and interfacing with almost all other fields of
Engineering.
The competitive environment in the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University,
Hyderabad, one of the premier institutes in Asia, coupled with its excellent faculty and
exacting standards, have motivated me to work hard and excel in my courses. The
comprehensive course curriculum here helped me hone my problem solving skills and
exposed me to various facets of Engineering, which I firmly believe will serve me well in
future Research endeavors. My hard work and competitive spirit stood me as the topper
of my University, an achievement I am really happy about.
I carefully charted my course during my undergraduate curriculum by taking up courses
like Production Technology 1,2& 3 which dealt with CNC programming, FMS and
Intelligent Manufacturing. As I strongly believe that the primary factor in judging the
efficiency of a manufacturing process is it’s Industrial feasibility, I took up courses like
Industrial Management, Operations Research and Production Planning and Control.
Operations Research in particular dealt with transportation models, simplex and dual
simplex, dynamic programming, Project management by PERT-CPM techniques and I
worked on many assignments of industrial relevance in my own interest. Industrial
Management dealt with Shop floor Scheduling, Inventory Control, Product Planning and
Control, Statistical Quality Control and Occupational Ergonomics. This held me in good
stead to conceive my interests from a broader perspective and plan my career in Industrial
Engineering.
With a desire to work on a project, where I could study more about this subject and
implement it, I took up a project dealing with Scheduling of single machine in flow-shop.
This involves solving of a NP-hard problem, minimizing mean tardiness, using Simulated
annealing as search technique which often accepts inferior solution with some probability
to avoid ending up with a local optimum and enables us to arrive at the final solution very
fast. Realizing the importance of computational skills for an engineer, I made myself
proficient in C, C++ and JAVA programming languages and other web technologies. I
have also worked on AUTOCAD 2000, MATLAB, IDEAS, NISA, PRO/ENGINEER
and standard optimization software LINGO/LINDO extensively. I have extended my
knowledge base in the field of programming from these traditional languages to machine
programming like CNC and Robot programming.
Apart from my curriculum, I took up a Vocational Training Program in Ramko Engg.
Industries where I had direct industrial exposure. My keen interest in FMS concepts has
driven me to write a dissertation on “Flexible Manufacturing Systems” with the help of a
case study using a robotic cell. My technical paper on “Industrial Robots” won me great
laurels at the National Level Technical Symposium held at REC- NAGPUR.
I stand on the threshold of my professional career with my under-graduation close to
completion. Though the undergraduate courses laid a strong foundation of all the required
fundamentals, concentration in a particular field takes place only at the graduate level.
My career goal is to contribute to the research and technological developments in the
Industrial Engineering discipline. I would like to make optimal utilization of the given
parameters to evolve novel manufacturing systems and practices that are more responsive
and flexible to the present day volatile market.
I have inferred from the information amassed through the University web site and my
seniors that your university provides an excellent atmosphere for research under the
guidance of your eminent faculty and the state-of-the-art facilities available. I hope my
application will be received favorably and assure you that my interest and dedication will
be reflected in my course work. An assistantship will go a long way in motivating me
further and strengthening my determination to realize my career objectives.
I look forward to have a long and mutually fruitful association with your esteemed
institution.
Program : M.S. in Mechanical Engineering
Statement of Purpose
“There has been doers because there have been dreamers, because in our dreams we see
not what is, but what can be”. It is with such dreams and visions that today we stand at
the milestone of success. The sweeping changes in the Global Industrialization and
Design Engineering has made the role of mechanical engineer a really indispensable one.
It has been my deepest desire to be a part of this rapidly burgeoning community. My
strong penchant towards thermal sciences, design and also the versatility of the
Mechanical Engineering made me to select this line of engineering.
Through out my academic career, I have shown excellent performance. I have won
several awards for topping at school level, especially in science and math subjects. I
secured very high marks in my high school exams and I am the topper of my town.
During this period I completed Rashtra Basha Praveena, a degree in Hindi literature as a
part time study. I have also secured high marks in Intermediate level and I was among
the top 1% in the Engineering Entrance Exam. At that juncture I chose admission in
Mechanical Engineering at Jawaharalal Nehru Technological University, a premiere
institute for engineering renowned for its excellence in India and abroad. There seemed to
be an endless opportunity to improve and excel.
My years as an undergraduate student have influenced me the most. Academically I have
matured a lot during this period. It was here that I understood the need to put theory into
practice and most importantly to innovate in face of immense hurdles. The speciality of
Mechanical Engineering is that in its simplicity lies its complexity. A carrier in
Mechanical Engineering is both challenging and rewarding. It is the field in which one
has to apply his creativity and imagination. During the course of study, my encounters
with Design Principals and Thermodynamic Principles have been extremely enlightening.
The joy of learning these subjects under excellent professors is unsurpassable. A spirit of
competitiveness has been the result of having some very intelligent people as friends and
classmates.
My inclination towards graduate studies gained foot during my second year of
engineering, when I visited Bharat Dynamics Limited under the vision of Mr. Manzoor
Hussain. During the visit, I came in intimate contact with researchers and learnt a lot
about the temperament and determination required for research. During the visit, I also
learnt about different moulding and casting procedures, various heat treatment principles
and CNC lathes, the latest development in Production Engineering. All these experiences
have served to mould me towards the sweat and toil and thinking involved in graduate
studies. Each experience has been very rewarding and educative. What I have learnt so
far constitutes what is fundamental in Mechanical Engineering and this has already
captivated me. With this start I want to imbibe further aspects related to this field.
The selection of the right university by the candidate is as important as the selection of
the right candidate by the university. Having to choose a university that is suitable to my
ambition is a major decision, one which can’t be taken in haste. University of Florida is
one of the premiere institutes in the field of mechanical engineering. Its research focus
matches with my strong penchant towards design, in particular CAD/CAM. I am
fascinated by the potential of CAD in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
Besides this, University of Florida has very well equipped laboratories and the research
and intellectual environment is ideal. The structured program of the graduate studies and
faculty teaching them are very great incentives to join the department. Also during my
undergraduate course, I have developed strong concepts in Thermodynamics and Design
Principles. These are the topics that require significant level of conceptualization and
visualization and very challenging research fields. To design various engines is a very
stimulating job. I would like to undertake this challenge, employing the basic concepts I
have already known and building on what I will learn. Though my current University has
a very strong research program, my inclination towards University of Florida is because
of the level of sophistication and facilities available at Florida are unmatched. The
independence to work and the ability to interact with students from all over the world in
an unmatched intellectual atmosphere is an added incentive.
Academic excellence through essential, is not the solo hallmark of an individual. I have
always tried to maintain excellence in all realms of life. I have participated in and won
numerous debate contests on topics ranging from social to technical issues. I have been
on the students working committee of “MYTHRI 99”, an all engineering colleges meet. I
have been also an avid sportsman. With such qualifications and a multi faceted
personality, I would like to present myself as a candidate suitable for MS program in
Mechanical Engineering. Besides my academic qualifications, I assure you my total
commitment, perseverance, patience and toil required for research work. I present myself
as an individual keen to learn an individual who will be involved in all aspects of the
department, both curricular and extracurricular. I look forward to shaping in the halls of
University of Florida.
