Engineering Mechanical

Najam ul Qadir

Personal Statement:

My personal aim is not only to gain theoretical concepts which eventually

lead to an academic transcript, but also to think of ways I can make use of

those concepts in an organizational setup to improve communication skills,

groom adaptability to perform in widely different work environments, and

develop a skill-set to accomplish the tasks assigned in the most efficient

and productive manner.
