Dear HR Manager,

I would like to apply for the above position.

I have just completed my final year study (B.Eng, Mechanical Engineering) at NUS and will
be graduating in July. Here are the relevant projects I have undertaken in university, which
can testify my being analytical and competent enough to be considered for the position. My
third year industrial design project - a year-long collaboration with Sembawang Shipyard was CFD analysis of multi-stream exhaust manifold using Ansys Fluent and modeling in
SolidWorks. It involved the study of flow characteristics of multiple gas streams in a
manifold and two phase interaction between air and water, as well as later modifications to
the manifold design for better gas flow. More recently, in my final year project, I worked on a
finite difference analysis of low Reynolds number flow through constrictions in tube.
FORTRAN was used for the calculations. A major achievement of my project was
successfully implementing a working pressure code that had not been available previously.
Although I have no related prior working experience, I am confident that my experience in
the aforementioned projects will help me learn the job fast and carry out duties satisfactorily
at your company. Moreover, my passion for engineering and marine industry means I can be
relied upon to be thorough, hardworking and permanent. The latter passion for marine
industry traces back to my growing up in a shipyard, courtesy of a naval architect father.
I would like to request for an interview so that you can learn more about how I may
contribute to the company. The job means a lot to me as it is a chance to continue my interest
at a more advanced and professional level. In turn, it would mean a dedicated engineer for
you. Please find attached my resume for your reference. As for availability, I am able to start
working immediately.
Thank you and looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards,

Old

With my interest is in fluid mechanics and CFD - which is one of the most difficult fields in
engineering - I think I can be counted as strong in technical knowledge as well as being
attention-to-detail. My 3rd Year group design project (Aug 2012 - May 2013) was done in
collaboration with Sembawang Shipyard and involved the design and analysis of multistream exhaust manifold using CFD. My Final Year Project (Aug 2013 to present), currently
almost completed, involves the modification and running of a CFD code (FORTRAN) to
analyse fluid flow through constrictions in pipes. Please refer to my resume for more detail
on the projects.
Having a naval architect father, to work as an engineer has long been my dream. After 4 years
of study at NUS, I am certain I have learned the necessary technical knowledge as well as
attitude - such as being meticulous, on-time and resourceful - to carry out the duties required
of the above position effectively and efficiently. As someone who has lived in Singapore for
the past 7 years, attended a junior college and consistently participated in school clubs and
activities, I think I have sufficient interpersonal skills and teamwork to fit into and contribute
to your company.
In summary, I am confident that the research and communication skills I have learnt from
university, passion for engineering as well as the desire to work hard at my first job, will help
me learn the job fast and perform well at Jurong Engineering Ltd, if given the chance.

Therefore I would like to request for an interview so that you can learn more about myself
and how I can be part of your team. Please do email or call me at +65 97395810 to arrange
for an earliest possible interview date. Also, please find attached my resume for your perusal.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Sincerely,
Hsu Thar
