*** Univ. lack the faculties who engage in this mechanics, which is ***X. The *** department
just plans to build a new mechanics laboratory five years later. Our central laboratory has
no young professor now.
They need PhDs who engages in *** mechanics. Because I have completely finished my contract job,
they all support me to pursue PhD abroad. My dream is to be a professor in China top University
such as ***. There is my support letter. They will employ me when I gain the PhD.

in China top universities such as ***. I will have a bright future in China. Second, in my major
research direction, many Chinese top universities have just started this research while USA universities
have achieved a quite advance. My career objective determines that it is a better choice for me to
come back to China. Third, my long-range objective is to become a professor in China top universities
such as ***.
24. Why won't you stay in USA?
My main purpose in USA is only to pursue the PhD degree. First, PhD holders from the USA are much easier
to possess an academic position with high salary in China top universities such as ***. I will have a bright
future in China.
Second, my career objective determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China because
Chinese universities will run after the USA advance in the direction -XX mechanics. My long-range objective is to become a professor in China top universities such as ***. Third, I have
to come back and reunited with my family member.
25. Can you explain why 90% Chinese students didn't come back?
Really? As I know, during the recent years, more and more students come back after they finished their
study. For me, I will definitely return back. If really so, I think, when 90% Chinese students didn't
come back, I will have more opportunity to realize my career dream quickly.
26. Can you promise that you will not be attracted?
Sure. China is my home. But as for my major, you see, it is a practical major. My career objective also
determines that it is a better choice for me to come back to China. Many Chinese top universities have
just started this research. This can give me easy chance to achieve my long-range
objective -- to become a professor in ***.
27. Why do you choose this Univ.?
First, the Graduate program of the Department fits my interest very well.
The experimental condition of the University of *** is very good. It is quite flexible, based on the
research interests of the faculty member. Second, there have a good academic atmosphere and good reputation.
The program is among the top of a few PhD programs in mechanical engineering in USA. Besides,
I like the weather and environment of ***, not as heavy polluted air, windy and sandy as Beijing.
28. Why do you like your major? Why do you want to study this major?
I love the *** Mechanics. It is both academically complex and widely used. I always feel it fascinating.
I love the problem-driven research originating from the real practice. I like to spend a lot of time to handle the experimental problem.
In fact, it is promising in china. My strong practice background assures me excellent in this area.
30. Why do you want to pursue a doctor's degree?
My N years of working experience at *** University tell me. I realized what I have learned is far from
enough and must be updated. The University of *** is full of competence and challenge to me. A Ph.D.
degree abroad is important and useful for my goal to be a professor later in *** Univ.
And if you want to be a professor in ***, it is necessary to hold a PHD degree first.
I am in the golden time of my life to pursue Ph.D. after N-year working.
31. Why do you want to study Mechanical Engineering for PHD in USA?
My working experience tells me. *** Mechanics is an important branch in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
What I have learned needs updated. USA has the advanced science and technology and the most active research
environment in the world.
32. Why do you want to study Mechanical Engineering for PHD in University of ***?
The Mechanical Engineering of the University of *** is rather outstanding. In my favorite research direction,
He has the strong faculties and equipment and rank the top 5 in the world.
33. Why not a Ph.D. degree in China?
Almost top universities in China such as *** and Beijing have not my favorite research direction.
But the USA has the strongest in the world. So it's quite reasonable for me to peruse my Ph.D.
degree in the United States.
34. Many universities in the China offer first-rate graduate programs in ME, why do you want to go to the USA for graduate study?
Because they don’t have my favorite major direction-- *** mechanics. And they just started to found this research direction. The Mechanical Engineering of UA
can afford the best education conditions. It can offer more promising future to realize my dream-a professor of ***.
35. Why do you receive financial aid from this Univ.? Why can you get RA?
Why this university gave you the aid (funding)?
My excellent academic records and strong research backgrounds because I have the N-years working experiences in ***.
36. What if you do not have financial award for the following years?
The department told me, if I remain in good academic records, they would renew my award of full financial support.
I am an industrial student, and I don't think I'll encounter any problem in receiving such financial support.
And just if I haven't financial aid in the second year, my personal saving at that time will be enough to pay the year expense.
37. What's the difference between your current major and the major in USA?
Now I major in Solid Mechanics at *** University, and I'll continue to study in this area at the University of ***.
I don't think there are differences between the two. They are the same. Both are in the field of mechanical
engineering.
38. Are you going to be teaching?
Yes, if they give me a TA position I will be going to be teaching for I have engaged in the teaching job
in *** for N years and have no problem to do TA job.
If I have got the PHD degree form USA, I will continue to engage in the teaching job.
39. Why are you going to be teaching?
I had the same experience for N years when I was employed in *** University.
I love teaching and research job and want to become a professor of ***. I have deep feeling about it
and decide to devote my whole life to it.
40. What will you do if you cannot find a position in *** University?
But if so, I will seek the same position in Chinese other top Universities such Beijing, Shanghai universities.
I think, with my N-year working experience in *** and the PhD degree from USA, I can easily realize my dream.
In this February I visited several top university in Shanghai. I talked with their Deans of Mechanics department.
They all eagerly require the PhD abroad to fill the vacuum of the teaching faculties.
41. Why did you choose your present job? What's your dream?
*** University is the top one in China for its scientific research; my dream is to become a professor of ***
University with high salary and academic position in China. Having the working experience in *** can achieve
my dream more easily.
42. Why have you quit your job?
The reason is that my contract with *** has expired in this Aug.
They need more high-lever faculties who possessed the PHD degree, when *** is poised to become a world-class university in the 21st century. Our department all supports me to pursue a PhD abroad.
When the contract expired, they cannot give me a teaching job if I do not have a PHD degree.
43. Why do you pursue the PhD after the N years?
The time of my contract with *** is N years. I don't want to break the contract because I am very honest
and loyal to my job. I have completely finished my contract job.
My major direction also decided me to work for a long time for it's the real practice from the engineering.
After the N year working I have to replenish my knowledge
