航天工程（Aerospace Engineering）申请文书

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.

点评：

这是一篇工程类PS，文章思路非常清晰，逻辑性很强，在体现兴趣的同时将自己的专业能力也作了体现，是一篇不错的PS。

文章可以分为四部分：

一、兴趣的产生
二、自己的研究经历
三、选择这所学校的原因
四、自己的最终追求。

文章开头用飞行先驱和自己小时候的经历阐述兴趣产生的原因，并在最后一句为第二部分的内容作铺垫。接下来的两段对自己的研究经历作了简明的描述，展现了自己所具有的专业能力。然后把自己为什么选择这所学校的原因做了明确解释。最后把自己的长远目标和远大理想进行强调。整篇文章逻辑思路非常明确，文章表述非常流畅。

这篇文章的两大特点：一、兴趣的强调贯穿始终，二、简明扼要。虽然我们能在整篇文章中感受到作者对专业的兴趣，可是作者并没有空空的喊自己有多么的热爱专业，而是很好的结合了具体的事例进行阐述。另外作者并没有像国内很多申请者写文书时那样，花了大量的笔墨对专业进行详细说明，而是通过典型专业经历作为高水平平台，展现自己的能力。但是这种平台随体现的信息足够让教授得出自己的判断。所以专业能力体现，不再多，而是精。这两点是国内理工类申请文书值得重点学习的。

译文：

无数梦想家都曾仰望天空，他们的所想总会和飞翔紧密相联。Wright兄弟的动力飞机让人们看到了梦想变为现实。同样，还是个男孩的时候，我也有自己充满热情的关于飞翔的梦想。在小学参加飞机模型比赛的时候，我就发觉了制作飞机模型和维修他们以寻找最完美构型的乐趣。少年时代的经历促使我选择在韩国最好的大学之一Hankuk Aviation大学主修航天机械工程。

在那里，我有很多机会，看到真正的航天器，并钻研飞行概论。从基本的航天机械知识到简单的飞机设计，我总是学得越多越想继续学下去。这种火热的好奇心不断地扩展着，一直到进入贵校航空机械学院著名的研究生项目都没有停止过。

为了这个项目，我的准备可以说既完备又周密。首先，我在航天机械工程方面有坚实的基础。并且，在我大学期间，我参加了一个专门针对计算机程序的名叫信息程序研究(IPR)的社团。我们的工程是关于visual C++, AutoCAD，以及其他一些软件工具。我的校外工作，在Hankuk Aviation大学的工作分配，给了我经历真正社会的绝好机会。这使我能够成为韩国航空工程师协会的会员。

当寻找研究生水平的工作时，我发现自己对你们的项目非常感兴趣。特别是我对飞行机械和控制的兴趣在我读飞行控制和自动化控制系统课程时就被激发起来。控制系统的知识让我着迷，并促使我曾经在一天里长时间地监视一个关于这方面的大项目。虽然我目前仍然存在不足之处，但凭着满腔的热情，加上贵校出色的教职员工的指导，我一定会完成艰苦的学业，两年科学硕士课程和之后的博士进修后，把自己锻造成为一名专业系统控制工程师。

从贵校毕业之后，我计划在大型生产制造公司做一名实践型工程师，或者在学院做一名研究员。将自己融入先进的飞机、太空梭和卫星的发展才能满足我的渴望。若站得更远，我想成为一名教授，分享我的知识与经验，并教授下一届航天工程师们。
