...Literature INTRODUCTION: Every day you come in contact with many machines. There’s the clock radio that wakes you up, and the car, bus, or bike you take to school. You use calculators, computers, stereos, and phones throughout the day. Finally, you come home and use the microwave, stove, refrigerator, and electric can opener as you help with dinner. Our lives are a lot easier today, thanks to the mechanical engineers who imagined and built these tools. In a world where we depend on machines more than ever before, mechanical engineers keep things running. Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest professions. The women and men in the mechanical engineering profession work in almost every industry, in private practice, in government, in medicine, in law, and in universities. Mechanical engineers touch almost every aspect of technology. They create machines, products and technological systems that benefit society. Their work can take them around the world - anywhere there are machines, there are mechanical engineers. The above statements prove that mechanical engineering is not an easy profession. This is the reason why we should consider the spiritual and educational needs. Spirituality means different things to different people. Some persons have religious needs. Spirituality can refer to an ultimate or an alleged immaterial reality an inner path enabling a person to discover the essence of his/her being; or the “deepest values and meanings by which people live.”...

...STATEMENT OF PURPOSE “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not important; we must do”, a famous motivational quotation by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe keeps triggering in my mind all the time.Since my childhood, I have always loved cars!I always wondered how cars are designed and developed, and I hope that one day I can be a part of this exciting process of cars development.This coupled with a natural flair for science and mathematics motivated me to take up engineering in college. The reason I took up mechanical engineering was that I had a passion for cars, planes, trains, trucks and all devices for transportation.Studying subjects like manufacturing processes, transmission system design, theory of machines and mechanisms gave me a clearer view of what I wanted to do. I seek to design, build and engineer cars and trucks. PhysicalScience as a subject has always fascinated me, right from school days, when it answered many questions that grilled my mind. .

...Statement of Purpose I was thirteen when I prepared a miniature working model of a vending machine for my school’s Science Fair. I came across this idea while watching a movie and was completely fascinated by the ease with which one could access a beverage at the press of a button. I incorporated a simple lever mechanism in the model which poured the beverage upon inserting a marble as the lever would operate upon addition of the marble’s mass. My efforts were highly acclaimed by parents and teachers, and my model was selected as one of the best models of that year. When I look back now, that event seems trivial compared to my present achievements but that was the event which laid the foundation of the exciting and wonderful journey ahead. Being an inquisitive student I was driven by curiosity and aroused by complex problems dealing with applied science and mathematics, thus pursuing Mechanical Engineering seemed a natural consequence. I topped the merit list among all the students joining Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University for B. Tech degree as per All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) rank, the basis for admission.

...lives, conveying information within groups of people or communities serves several purposes. The different groups one communicates with to achieve these goals are called discourse communities. In a discourse community, the communication between its members is vital because it causes them to have shared knowledge and similar interests. Due to the different communities having distinct interests, the way they converse can be altered to best suit each group. For example, a group of doctors would talk about medical subjects unlike sport fans would talk about a sport. I am a mechanical engineering student and therefore identify with the engineering discourse community. In this field, the community use different platforms of communication to reach its members. The internet is an effective way of communicating with engineers and the website Engineering.com is a useful resource to share information. Engineering.com is a site used by engineering professionals or companies to communicate ideas and information with other people in the engineering community.
