The pursuit for knowledge has been the supreme goal in my life. We are in an era of global and technological changes where boundaries are fast disappearing and the greatest challenge tomorrow holds for us is to manage continuity of change. To satiate my curiosity and to fulfill my ambitions I have decided to pursue a master’s program in Mechanical Engineering. I would like to get involve in research work in this area. Although there is a vast scope for research in this area, the scope for research in Ghana is limited. The need for exposure to a wider environment has prompted me to seek an opportunity to study outside Ghana.

To convey more about my interest, the final year project, Design of a Piezoelectric Transducer for Piezoelectric Power Scavenging of Mechanical Vibration Energy in the Mining Industry in Ghana which aims at integrating few features of standard design models, was an opportunity to gain knowledge of design applications in Mechanical Engineering. The four years degree undergraduate course has not only provided me with strong fundamentals, but has also reinvigorated me to learn more and goaded me to continue research related activities. My immediate career objective is a master’s program in Mechanical Engineering followed by a PhD and research oriented career in academia or industry. The choice of a good university with a faculty committed to teaching and research, and an atmosphere conducive to learning become extremely necessary.

After critically going through your website I found that by taking graduate studies at your university, I would be able to venture into various subject purviews and also develop a strong sense of independence coupled with responsibility and self-reliance. It would also help me to learn global standards in this field and become aware of the worldwide competition, which I consider would be great for me to make a strong contribution in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Your university with its unique state of the art facilities for graduate program in Mechanical Engineering and with its commitment to foster intellectual excellence is noteworthy and attractive to embark upon an academic career. Besides that, I will not have communication problems because my English Language skills are of the required standard: throughout my education career English has been the sole language of instruction.
