Perspectives in the U.S.: In an essay of no less than 250 words and no more than 500 words, explain the unique perspectives you hope to gain in the U.S. and how you intend to use these skills, knowledge and experience upon your return to your home country

The student exchange program is in my opinion the most interesting and enriching academic activity, and it is for many students the only opportunity they will get to know other cultures and to acquire knowledge that would be impossible to obtain in their home countries. Studying in the United States, a country of a culture and language completely different of mine, where the best universities in the world are located, is a challenge that will enhance my life not only in a professional or academic aspect but also in a personal one.

Brazil in recent years has experienced a large growth regarding education in general but, there are certain aspects that we still have to improve such as research and technological development and in these fields the United States is a reference. I hope to gain knowledge in these areas so that, after the exchange program, I can help my university and my country to improve even more.

Mechanical engineering, which is my major, is one of the most comprehensive areas of engineering and mechanical engineers must have as much knowledge as possible if they want to be good professionals, therefore, some of my main goals during the exchange program will be to take courses and to participate in activities that are not available for me in Brazil.

Another factor that the exchange program can provide to me is the improvement of my English in the academic realm. Here in Brazil we have a deficiency in regard to technical English, all major scientific journals, papers and researches are written in English with terms that sometimes are strange to us, I hope that the knowledge I will acquire facilitate my access into scientific circles, this would be of fundamental importance to me, because after finishing university I expect to work in the academic area.

In addition to all that, the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program also provides us with the opportunity to engage in internships. This would give me a chance to put into practice what I have learned in class, making this experience even more valuable.

During my four years in the São Paulo State University – UNESP I was awarded for my academic performance, I have participated in extracurricular activities where I help students of my university who have difficulties in the discipline of differential and integral calculus and I have always kept myself at a high level regarding my grades. I am sure that this is the best opportunity I will have to prepare myself for my professional life.

Leaving a little aside the academic part, in relation to the personal aspect, the exchange program is a tool of social interaction that takes us out of our comfort zone, leading us to experience unique situations. Lastly, I must mention that besides the obvious academic reasons that made me choose the United States other factors were fundamental to my decision such as the exciting campus life and the cultural exchange that just the United States can provide.
