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（机翻）：
我打算在麦考密克工程学院继续主修机械工程。首先，其著名的工程第一课程将以其综合方式创造独一无二的体验。早就意识到“设计思维”的重要性，我在大学时就加入了方程式SAE团队，帮助设计和组装底盘。我将把数学、科学和设计结合在一起，进一步将体验提升到更全面的水平。
作为一名复古赛车爱好者，我也对未来的公路车辆感兴趣。迄今为止，最有希望的替代方案是电动汽车，但有限的储能妨碍了其进一步应用。此外，目前的电池组对于性能导向型汽车来说过于笨重。作为JCESR的组成部分，西北大学在这一领域开展了前沿研究。我希望我能参与并为这些技术的开发和商业化做出贡献。
通用汽车前副总裁罗伯特·卢茨强调了“汽车伙计”和“豆子柜台”的合作，以提高产品质量、品牌知名度和利润。我希望我能参加商学院的课程来补充我的工程技能。凯洛格管理学院为所有本科生提供管理分析证书。理解商业模式和战术决策当然可以提高我的能力，在某种程度上，我不仅可以获得不同的工程观点，还可以通过比典型工程师更多才多艺的方式在工作中获得额外优势。
西北大学体验最好的部分是它的学生。感恩节假期期间，我访问了西北大学，并在校园里结识了一些朋友。他们的学术成就和热情给我留下了深刻的印象。此外，由于西北地区相对较小，人们在这里形成了紧密的联系。这种联系无疑会给我带来归属感和社区感。
