Countless dreamers have looked to the sky, their thoughts fixed on flying. The Wright brothers’ powered flight initiated men into a realization of that dream. I, too, found myself with a very personal and enthusiastic dream of flying as a boy. As a participant in a model plane tournament in elementary school, I found the joy of making a model plane and tinkering with it to find the perfect form. This boyhood pastime fostered my decision to major in aeronautical and mechanical engineering in one of the best engineering schools in Korea, Hankuk Aviation University.

There I embraced numerous opportunities, encountering real aircraft and delving into introductory flight theory. From basic mechanics of aircraft to simple airplane design, the more I learned about my major, the more I wanted to learn. A natural extension of this burning curiosity remains to enter your renowned graduate program in the Department of Aerospace Engineering.

My preparation for your program has been expansive and thorough. First, I have a solid background in aeronautical and mechanical engineering. Additionally, during my undergraduate years, I joined a club called Information Process Research (IPR) focused on computer programming. Our projects dealt with visual C++, AutoCAD, and other software tools. My work outside the classroom, in job placements through Hankuk Aviation University, granted me excellent opportunities for real-world experience. This led to my associate membership of the Korea Aeronautical Engineers’ Association.

While exploring the possibility of graduate-level work, I discovered that my interests are perfectly matched with your program. My interest in flight mechanics and control, especially, was piqued during my flight control and automatic control systems class. The aspects of the control system fascinated me and made me long to supervise a large project in this field one day. Although I realize my current limitations, my whole-hearted enthusiasm, combined with guidance from your exceptional faculty, will carry me through the rigors of studying and forge me into an expert control systems engineer after the two year M.S. coursework and the subsequent Ph.D. courses.

Upon graduation from your school, I plan to work as a practical engineer in a large manufacturing company or as a researcher at an institute. Participating in the development of advanced airplanes, space shuttles, and satellites would fulfill my aspirations. In the long term, I would like to become a professor in order to share my knowledge and experience and instruct the next generation of aeronautical engineers.

點(diǎn)評(píng)：

這是一篇工程類PS，文章思路非常清晰，邏輯性很強(qiáng)，在體現(xiàn)興趣的同時(shí)將自己的專業(yè)能力也作了體現(xiàn)，是一篇不錯(cuò)的PS。

文章可以分為四部分：

一、興趣的產(chǎn)生
二、自己的研究經(jīng)歷
三、選擇這所學(xué)校的原因
四、自己的最終追求。

文章開頭用飛行先驅(qū)和自己小時(shí)候的經(jīng)歷闡述興趣產(chǎn)生的原因，并在最后一句為第二部分的內(nèi)容作鋪墊。接下來(lái)的兩段對(duì)自己的研究經(jīng)歷作了簡(jiǎn)明的描述，展現(xiàn)了自己所具有的專業(yè)能力。然后把自己為什么選擇這所學(xué)校的原因做了明確解釋。最后把自己的長(zhǎng)遠(yuǎn)目標(biāo)和遠(yuǎn)大理想進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)。整篇文章邏輯思路非常明確，文章表述非常流暢。

這篇文章的兩大特點(diǎn)：一、興趣的強(qiáng)調(diào)貫穿始終，二、簡(jiǎn)明扼要。雖然我們能在整篇文章中感受到作者對(duì)專業(yè)的興趣，可是作者并沒(méi)有空空的喊自己有多么的熱愛專業(yè)，而是很好的結(jié)合了具體的事例進(jìn)行闡述。另外作者并沒(méi)有像國(guó)內(nèi)很多申請(qǐng)者寫文書時(shí)那樣，花了大量的筆墨對(duì)專業(yè)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)說(shuō)明，而是通過(guò)典型專業(yè)經(jīng)歷作為高水平平臺(tái)，展現(xiàn)自己的能力。但是這種平臺(tái)隨體現(xiàn)的信息足夠讓教授得出自己的判斷。所以專業(yè)能力體現(xiàn)，不再多，而是精。這兩點(diǎn)是國(guó)內(nèi)理工類申請(qǐng)文書值得重點(diǎn)學(xué)習(xí)的。

譯文：

無(wú)數(shù)夢(mèng)想家都曾仰望天空，他們的所想總會(huì)和飛翔緊密相聯(lián)。Wright兄弟的動(dòng)力飛機(jī)讓人們看到了夢(mèng)想變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)。同樣，還是個(gè)男孩的時(shí)候，我也有自己充滿熱情的關(guān)于飛翔的夢(mèng)想。在小學(xué)參加飛機(jī)模型比賽的時(shí)候，我就發(fā)覺(jué)了制作飛機(jī)模型和維修他們以尋找最完美構(gòu)型的樂(lè)趣。少年時(shí)代的經(jīng)歷促使我選擇在韓國(guó)最好的大學(xué)之一Hankuk Aviation大學(xué)主修航天機(jī)械工程。

在那里，我有很多機(jī)會(huì)，看到真正的航天器，并鉆研飛行概論。從基本的航天機(jī)械知識(shí)到簡(jiǎn)單的飛機(jī)設(shè)計(jì)，我總是學(xué)得越多越想繼續(xù)學(xué)下去。這種火熱的好奇心不斷地?cái)U(kuò)展著，一直到進(jìn)入貴校航空機(jī)械學(xué)院著名的研究生項(xiàng)目都沒(méi)有停止過(guò)。

為了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目，我的準(zhǔn)備可以說(shuō)既完備又周密。首先，我在航天機(jī)械工程方面有堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。并且，在我大學(xué)期間，我參加了一個(gè)專門針對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)程序的名叫信息程序研究(IPR)的社團(tuán)。我們的工程是關(guān)于visual C++, AutoCAD，以及其他一些軟件工具。我的校外工作，在Hankuk Aviation大學(xué)的工作分配，給了我經(jīng)歷真正社會(huì)的絕好機(jī)會(huì)。這使我能夠成為韓國(guó)航空工程師協(xié)會(huì)的會(huì)員。

當(dāng)尋找研究生水平的工作時(shí)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)自己對(duì)你們的項(xiàng)目非常感興趣。特別是我對(duì)飛行機(jī)械和控制的興趣在我讀飛行控制和自動(dòng)化控制系統(tǒng)課程時(shí)就被激發(fā)起來(lái)?？刂葡到y(tǒng)的知識(shí)讓我著迷，并促使我曾經(jīng)在一天里長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地監(jiān)視一個(gè)關(guān)于這方面的大項(xiàng)目。雖然我目前仍然存在不足之處，但憑著滿腔的熱情，加上貴校出色的教職員工的指導(dǎo)，我一定會(huì)完成艱苦的學(xué)業(yè)，兩年科學(xué)碩士課程和之后的博士進(jìn)修后，把自己鍛造成為一名專業(yè)系統(tǒng)控制工程師。

從貴校畢業(yè)之后，我計(jì)劃在大型生產(chǎn)制造公司做一名實(shí)踐型工程師，或者在學(xué)院做一名研究員。將自己融入先進(jìn)的飛機(jī)、太空梭和衛(wèi)星的發(fā)展才能滿足我的渴望。若站得更遠(yuǎn)，我想成為一名教授，分享我的知識(shí)與經(jīng)驗(yàn)，并教授下一屆航天工程師們。
