I intend to continue majoring in Mechanical Engineering at McCormick School of Engineering. First, its renowned Engineering First curriculum would create a one-of-a-kind experience with its integrated way. Having long realized the importance of "design thinking," I joined the Formula SAE Team at college and helped design and assemble chassis. I will further elevate the experience to a more comprehensive level, combining math, sciences, and design altogether.
Being a vintage racing car enthusiast, I am also interested in road-going vehicles of the future. So far, the most promising alternative is the electric vehicle, but the limited power storage impedes its further application. Additionally, the current battery pack is too bulky for a performance-oriented car. As an integral part of JCESR, Northwestern carries out cutting-edge research in this field. I wish I could participate and contribute to the development and commercialization of such technologies.
Robert Lutz, the former General Motors VP, emphasized the collaboration of "Car Guys" and "Bean Counters" to improve product quality, brand recognition, and profit. I wish that I could take B-school courses to supplement my engineering skills. Kellogg School of Management offers a Managerial Analytics Certificate to all undergraduates. Understanding business models and tactical decision-making can certainly boost my capability, in a way that I can not only gain different perspectives on engineering, but also have an extra edge at work by being more versatile than typical engineers.
The best part of the Northwestern experience is its students. During Thanksgiving break, I visited Northwestern and met some friends on campus. I was rather impressed by their academic accomplishments and enthusiasm. Furthermore, since Northwestern is comparatively small, people form tight bonds here. Such ties will no doubt provide me with a sense of belonging and community.
留学文书译文（AI翻译）：
我计划继续在麦考密克工程学院攻读机械工程专业。首先，其著名的"工程第一"课程体系通过整合式教学将提供独一无二的学习体验。我早已认识到"设计思维"的重要性，大学期间加入了方程式赛车队并参与底盘设计与组装工作。我希望将这一体验提升至更全面的层次，将数学、科学与设计知识融会贯通。
作为经典赛车爱好者，我也关注未来量产车的发展方向。目前最具前景的替代方案是电动汽车，但储能限制阻碍了其进一步应用。此外，现有电池组对于性能导向型车辆而言过于笨重。作为JCESR（联合储能研究中心）的重要组成部分，西北大学在该领域开展前沿研究。我渴望参与其中，为相关技术的研发与商业化贡献力量。
前通用汽车副总裁鲍勃·卢茨曾强调“机械师”与“核数师”协作对提升产品质量、品牌认知和利润的重要性。我希望通过商学院课程补充工程技能，凯洛格管理学院为本科生提供管理分析证书课程。理解商业模式与战术决策不仅能拓宽工程视角，更能使我比普通工程师更具职场竞争力。
西北大学体验最精彩之处在于其学生群体。感恩节假期来访时，我结识了校园里的朋友，对他们展现的学术成就与热情印象深刻。由于西北大学规模相对较小，师生间能建立紧密联系。这种纽带必将为我带来归属感与社群认同。
