Dear sir, Madam,
I am writing to express my greatest interest in applying for the Master program of Automotive Engineering at City University of London. I strongly believe that my ambition, hard work and learning capabilities make me one of the best candidates for this program. Engineering has been always my greatest passion. The idea of innovating new things to make people's life easier or finding the optimum solution for a problem has always fascinated me. I believe that people have to dream about their way of life in future and engineers have to work hard fulfilling these dreams.
I graduated with a bachelor degree in Power Mechanical Engineering on 2011 from Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University. My graduation project was about the optimum design of forklifts for different types of applications. While I was working with my colleagues on the project, I decided to give more attention to a small but very important part, which is the steering mechanism of the forklift. I noticed that the main problems facing the forklift operators are powering of the forklift and driving the forklift in a way that give the machinery balance with the load it carries. I managed to innovate new idea, which is "the conic steering wheels". By using these wheels, the driver can steer the lift 360 degrees around its own axis. I had an excellent grade on my project but my goal is to apply this idea practically on both the industrial lifts and ordinary vehicles.
After graduation, I worked as a sales engineer in a very respectable company in Egypt. My job's responsibilities included preparation of tenders, follow up with shipments until they are delivered to the customer and introducing the company to possible customers. Although I did a great job winning four out of seven tenders I prepared, I quit my job after 3 month. Selling engineering products - with all my respect - does not make an engineer out of me. I am now in the USA working as a mechanic in a workshop. I am not an engineer right now but I am sure working as a mechanic getting my hands dirty will make me a great Automotive Engineer in the future. I learned how to inspect a vehicle closer and I got much familiar with using tools to get anything out of the vehicle. I enhanced my knowledge to the vehicle's electronic system and the ECU, which was not an area of concentration in my bachelor degree. Meanwhile I am studying for the GRE, which will increase my eligibility to more universities all around the world.
Sincerely,
