statement of purpose for graduate school of engineering

It is challenging for someone born and raised in the eastern part of Turkey to go to school due to economic conditions and political issues. The only thing I remember is my passion for machinery and industrial plants. Even the passing of an airplane flying in the sky directed me to the science high school where I studied, Muş Science Highschool. During the high school years, I visited airports, petroleum refineries, and some wind turbine plants. After comprehensive research, advice, and observations, I firmly understood that I have an enormous tendency to make some reforms, being a part of this sector, and finding solutions for encountered problems. Due to my innate interest in the field of energy, I resolutely devoted myself to hard work. I was admitted to marine engineering in one of Turkey's most prestigious technical universities, which Yildiz Technical University. My undergraduate major has given me a broad exposure to many subjects like Steam and Gas Turbines, Fuels Combustion, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Refrigeration and HVAC Systems, Energy Efficiency, Heat and Mass Transfer, Mechanics, etc. I possess an extensive quest for knowledge which empowered me to score high marks in practical applications of all the above-mentioned courses. My internship has been a rewarding experience as I had a chance to apply my theoretical knowledge in reality during my long-term worldwide internship period. In my internship, making fuel efficiency calculations and optimizing the energy used as a team excited me more. After my internship, I became more interested in the field of energy and realized that I wanted to improve myself more in this field. As a senior marine engineering student, I studied to be the best in order to be able to apply for my master’s degree with an adequate GPA. Hopefully, I'll be graduated as the top student in my department. The world continues to develop instant, the energy required to sustain development is increasing steadily. However, many energy sources adversely affect nature and living life. Considering the effects of global warming, a lousy future awaits the world if measures are not taken against this situation. Related to this situation, many studies are carried out in the fields of energy resource improvements, renewable and sustainable energy resources around the world. When I was doing my internship in Cosco Shipyard Nantong in China, The time we integrated scrubber systems into vessels to reduce sulfur emissions, I realized that the world is changing and new energy systems should be expanded and developed. Also, my interest in this specific division pushed me to write a thesis about wave energy converters. Therefore, I want to do my master's degree in energy systems at Northeastern University, one of the world's most prestigious colleges. In terms of these reasons. My purpose is that as an engineer with a well-educated research spirit, I want to work in corporations that are active in the energy field. Throughout the period I was in Boston, I heard about Northeastern reputation many times from a blend of individuals. NU has a unique location in Boston. Furthermore, Northeastern University has an excellent co-op, so I believe it will offer me many opportunities to engage the industry. NU is one of the universities with the highest number of international students. This side of the university makes me feel more comfortable while studying, socializing, and exploring. I consider that I can improve my skills in such an ambiance. Alongside this, I can perform my music in university bands. In addition, I think that I can work together with my students and professors to increase efficiency in renewable energy sources. Given my intellectual interest and my passion for energy-associated engineering, continuing my studies, ultimately towards the goal of an MS at Northeastern University, is the most sensible route in my academic adventure.
