application statement

Hi! I am currently applying to join a student body, where they need me to write a short statement to submit together with my application. I really need some help on my grammar mistakes and sentence structure, your time and advice will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

As a mechanical engineering student, I would like to broaden my experiences by participating in this event, to gain more hands on experiences and build up my self-confident towards my own responsibility as an engineer, and take this opportunity to apply my theoretical knowledge that have learnt in classes to a real life project. I always believe that engineers bear the responsibility to build a better future for human beings, and there are a few key points to emphasize, such as sustainability, environmental friendly, cost-effective and etc. I am confident that I can practice and apply these qualities by having an opportunity to involve in this team. Besides, there will be a few valuable skills that can be gained from this event as well, such as networking, team building, communication skills and even leadership skills, as we have to plan our timeline throughout the process, manage our finance, promote and present our product. Based on my previous experiences, I believe that I am able to share my experiences with the team and work together to strive for excellence. Most importantly, I am always keen to meet with people that have the same enthusiastic as me, where this event provide us a platform to share our opinions, work together, learn from each other, and improve together.
