Topic > Automotive Engineering Statement of Purpose

Since I was a child, I have had a great interest in the automotive industry. From automotive curiosities to new innovations, my innate passion for the automotive industry has always led me to research the smallest details of every vehicle that interested me. Since elementary school I had been drawing sketches of cars that incorporated technologies unheard of at the time; new devices such as electrochromic windshields, HUD displays, and wind turbines that would constantly generate electricity for the car. While growing up, my hobbies largely consisted of building countless Lego and Meccano sets and fixing up my mother's 19-year-old car. In middle school math and science were my favorite subjects: applying science and math to solve real-world problems fascinated me, and I even took further steps to achieve my goals. At the age of thirteen I designed a scale model of a heliostat power plant, which successfully powered a light bulb. Mathematics beyond the foci of parabolas and thermodynamics was very advanced for my age, but I accepted the challenge...
