The decision to pursue masters in engineering management has not happened suddenly. Over the past 5 years, several aspects of my studies and work built the passion and interest in the field. I enjoyed my engineering education in general and did fairly well. However, I particularly excelled in courses that dealt with management, communications and humanities. The following graph shows the overall picture. After my undergraduate studies, I decided to gain expertise in management but I also did not want to lose my technology edge as I loved both disciplines. I got offers from Accenture (Fortune 500) and Wipro (Top 4 IT companies in India) in my campus itself (offer letters enclosed). However, as both were purely technical jobs, I rejected and pursued further studies in techno-management. I pursued a certificate program in Business Analytics and Optimization (http://insofe.edu.in/init/default/cee_program_features), which combined business, math and data sciences and fuelled my interest for further exploration of business world with engineering tools. I am currently working for a start-up (Acme Analytics) where I am involved in social media marketing and business analysis. I chose this job though the company is the smallest amongst all the offers I got, as I get to directly report to the CEO of the company. I can talk of a couple of projects that showcase my business and technical skills in solving real world problems. Bond price prediction: Using artificial neural networks, I am currently working on developing a predictive model to forecast the price of bonds that help hedge fund managers trade in real time. Details of the project and also other similar projects in analytics (Target Marketing and Stock Value Prediction) I worked on ar... ... middle of paper ... ...e M.B.A. is about general administration of an enterprise whereas my passion is in specific execution of large scale technology projects I believe M.S. at the University of Southern California suits me perfectly because of the exciting curriculum. I have already been introduced to some topics from a few of the courses like ISE 530 (Introduction to Operations Research) and ISE 527 (Quality Management for Engineers) during my certification program, and it would be quite exciting to study them at a much deeper level. I found Dr. Settles’s research in engineering management and quality management and Dr. Winterfeldt’s research in decision analysis and risk analysis highly interesting and matching my interests. My educational background, work experience and the personality I built through other activities gives me the confidence that I can excel in the graduate program.
It is evident that people have different and unique desires when it comes to career interests. Therefore, this desire is the driving motive for people in their career growth and development. Perhaps, the first step towards selecting a satisfying career is to find out the things that are exciting and a source of joy. I have always found business management an interesting career option because my ultimate objective is to become among the leading businesspersons. Business management involves dealing with various kinds of people and a lot of strategic decision-making, which are the two major important attributes of a business person (O'Grady, 2009). Business management career is an interesting career, because it is one of the ways that an individual can become their own boss through establishing a business and seeing it through to success. In this particular research, my focus was based on Apple Inc (Hitt, Hoskisson & Ireland, 2013). It is one of the leading companies in the mobile phones and computer industry. Its success is accredited to the manner in which management has been handled within the company.
Texas A&M. I did some research and asked my fellow students about whether there is a major that combines both Business and Engineering, and I stumbled upon Industrial Distribution. I decided that was the best fit
Students studying engineering will always find the subject interesting and will find internships and employment quickly after their graduation.

...re at Stanford are not only brilliant and directly correlate with my career plans but they also cater to the real world needs. Not to mention the potential for inter-disciplinary studies and the prestige of the university, I think a Masters from Stanford University will be best possible
I feel prepared for a university that will encourage me to leave my comfort zone and begin a new chapter in my life. What makes me stand out as a strong candidate is this principal idea that I believe in moving forward without regret. Growing up without my father I have had to overcome many challenges including a lack of confidence and self love. Over time I have overcome these obstacles and I am proud of the young man I am
One instance where an experience in USC 101 or 102 helped me explore my preferred major was completely the Majors and Minors Scavenger Hunt. This gave me a more thorough look at the different majors and concentrations of engineering, as well as the classes I would need to take at North Carolina State University. I used this information throughout USC and in my everyday life, through my class selection.
It was in my sixth semester of my under graduate university curriculum I took a course titled Operations research which took me close to the basic concepts of Industrial engineering. The topics learned in this course and its usage in day to day life made me to show further interest in the subject. For example before buying a new vehicle, you would evaluate all the possible options available to reach office, then you would select the fast and cost effective option thus reducing your expenses by doing this you are unknowingly using the concept of “Optimization” which is a basic concept of Industrial engineering. This liveliness present in the subject truly enthralled me. However it was in my fourth semester the course Industrial engineering management taught how an industry can be managed effectively. Deeply interested in the topics I also selected project management as an elective subject; this even made me to go deeper into the basic concepts of Industrial Engineering like Gantt charts, critical path m...
Banking on an excellent academic record coupled with a keen interest in the ever-growing field of science and technology motivated me to take up engineering. In school, I consistently secured one of the top positions of the class. I have always been attracted towards subjects that draw upon one's analytical abilities. Thus, Mathematics and Physics were my favorite subjects and I secured 89% marks in my 12th class. I am among the top 3 percent in Engineering entrance test to UG schools out of two and half lakh students and I could get into the top ranked college of the state and one of the most reputed universities in the country, K L Uni...

Completing high school education from an illustrious junior college, my academic accomplishments at school earned me admission in Sri Sairam Engineering College, Chennai. Ranked 3rd in the southern region of India by Outlook and The Week, and is affiliated to prestigious Anna University. I am pursuing my bachelors in Production Engineering. I have a commodious curriculum which enunciates on latest manufacturing techniques, production management until my junior year. In my senior year, I have electives like Operation's research, Ergonomics. This opened the gates to the field of Industrial engineering and that moment, I realized that manufacturing alone is not the crux of an Industry but there are many other segments, which have to be given equal importance for the amelioration of the Industry, which made me decide to augment my knowledge to these areas rather than merely focusing on manufacturing.
“Constant efforts, dedication, devotion and determination are the key to success” This principle I have followed in my career. Setting goals and striving hard to accomplish them has always been my strength in professional as well as personal life. I have always been amazed by computers, code –programs and was keen to understand the underlying meaning, gimmick, structure and pattern of how programs actually work. Learning about simple Foxpro programs, excel sheet formulae, C programs at an early age heightened my interest in computer programs. This childhood interest urged me to do a diploma in information technology and later bachelor’s degree in the same area. Having completed six years course in Information Technology, and two years of experience in IT. I stand by the principal “Stay Hungry” and this has helped me in achieving my goals. Standing by this I would like to explore ahead and pursue MS in MIS. I would like emerge to put to use this knowledge to pursue MS program in MIS.
As a child, have you ever been asked what do you want to be when you grow up? When I was little, all I ever wanted to do was open up my own dance company. I chose to study Business Administration because I love the feeling of being an in professional and sophisticated manner. I really feel as though choosing the business field was the best option I ever made for myself because I’m getting the opportunity to show many people out there how professional I can be and also the skills I have as a person.
During my school and college, I was very sharp in analytical problem solving and this quality made physics and mathematics one of my favorite subjects. I was very keen on performing the physics practical. My inclination towards physics and mathematics compelled to choose electrical engineering for my Bachelors degree.

Looking back after nine years, I could not feel more assured that at that time, I made the right choice. My unusual combination of experiences sets me worlds apart from not only a normal engineer but also from a marine engineer at similar position. Working for a big shipping company, exclusively on international assignments in high tech, capital intensive and rising LNG industry is the kind of job I had envisioned at the time of finishing my graduation. I could not have come here without that choice I made back then.
