“If I can can, you can can”. This was the last sentence of an inspirational TED talk by a stand-up comedian about how she tackled the obstacles in her life with humour and grace and refusal to give up. Similar was my expression when I visited a science exhibition organized at my school where stupendous projects were presented by the students. That was when I decided I would be an engineer.
As I began to pursue this newfound interest, I soon realized that there’s engineering to show off, and then there’s the engineering that runs in the background. Familiar with the outlook of the former, I dug deeper about the latter, and soon realized that it was electrical engineering that was ‘the one’ for me, a view further strengthened after I enrolled in the bachelors programme at University of Engineering and Technology Lahore (UET Lahore). Slowly and steadily, I began to unravel the titbits that were mysteries to me when I was a kid and so, my hunger for more grew. When we studied about digital logic design and microprocessors, I was excited. With the knowledge of signals and systems and control systems, I was euphoric. Studies of digital system design, digital signal processing and industrial electronics, made me ecstatic.
During the course of my undergraduate study I was exposed to various courses with practical applications like Digital Logic Design, Microprocessor Systems, Control Systems, Digital Signal Processing, and Industrial Electronics. In all these courses my performance has been good as I secured mostly A grade in these courses. I secured an internship with ‘Agritech Fertilizers Limited’ in Department of Instrumentation and Control in the summer of my junior year. There, I got a chance to study the basic instrum...

...rience have given me a sufficient enough exposure to the basic concepts and research possibilities. Now it’s the best time to dig deep and explore in field of research for which I have both an aptitude as well as a liking.
I believe that a symbiotic relationship between the student and his department is of utmost importance for a successful graduate program. LUMS is one of the best institutes in Pakistan and features a strong, characteristic profile in the fields of Electrical Engineering. So, LUMS is a perfect choice for fulfilling my desire to pursue ‘Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.’
I hope that LUMS helps me become what I’ve always dreamt of being: a proficient engineer on the outside, and a caring humanitarian on the inside. I hope that dream of mine comes true, and with that hope, I look forward to being a part of LUMS‘s illustrious student body.
When reading “An Engineering Career: Only a Young Person’s Game?” by Robert N. Charette, we are able to grasp the meaning behind the half-life engineering knowledge and how it affects the general engineer in the workplace. Charette also provides other articles that will give tips on how to use lifelong learning to counter the effect of becoming obsolete in your knowledge.
Considering I am close to my parents, the way that I chose my important personal traits was by selecting features that if omitted, would make interacting with my mom and dad more challenging. I selected trust and respect for my vital personal traits, for my chief professional traits I selected diligence and responsibility. I start by explaining what these characteristics consist of, provide an example of how I exhibit these traits, and how they relate to society. Lastly, I compare trust with the other three traits, address any conflicts that exist when applying these traits, and suggest some ways to solve these conflicts.
I cannot forget how proud I felt about myself and I realized that that was what I would like to do in future. When I finished secondary school, I was sure that priority goal was take the first step into the electronic field. Because of this, I studied during two years a BTEC level 3 in Electronic, Refrigeration and Heating systems. I enjoyed a lot during two year where a gain a basic knowledge in electronic, electricity and refrigeration.
The word engineer comes from the latin word ingeniare. ingeniare means construct or craftsmanship. Ever since the beginning of time we have had engineers. Engineering is the combination of math and science , solving world problems to help better the world around us. Being an engineer takes a lot of knowledge, creativity, and hard work. A typical engineer can clearly see a problem and is capable of fining a solution. A senior engineer or engineering manager usually doesnt do as much technical work, but usally lot of managing. Some of the first official engineers were military engineers. They were employed by the goverment to build such things as roads, bridges, and weapons. US mililary Academy at Westpoint was the first school to offer an education in enginnering. Engineering is a very broad field. Engineers are always at a high demand, we could never have enough brilliant minds making the world better. Engineers are needed everywhere. Engineering managers have to have a bachelor's degree or higher, they usually direct and seek solutions to problems and are sometimes called executi...
Being the top student in my secondary school (with 85.5%), I got admitted into Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering at MIT, Ujjain. My curriculum enhanced my knowledge in Microprocessors, Digital Signal Processing, and Analytical and Industrial Instrumentation. Having a strong zeal towards Information System and Computer Programming, I have also learned different languages like C, C++, SQL and PL/SQL.
I took up Computer Science and Engineering as my discipline in Bhoj Reddy Engineering College for Women affiliated to Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, one of the premier institutes in India. My undergraduate education has been a great learning and enriching process for me. It exposed me to all the core areas of Computer Science like operating systems, database management systems, networks and network security, data structures, algorithms and software engineering. These courses have given me a good foundation in the core concepts. My interest lies in Database Management, Programming Languages, Theory of Computation, and Software Engineering. I am fully acquainted with the fast growing subjects like Object Oriented Programming, Analysis and Design. On the other hand, the intensive laboratory classes exposed me to a fascinating world of experimentation. It was here that I discovered the qualities of perseverance and diligence in myself. I feel that these courses have done a lot to prepare me for my future studies and research work.
People travel miles in search of their true passion; some find them early in their life and I consider myself lucky enough to be one among them. I found my true calling at the age of 12 on a field trip to a milk factory. It seemed like the Disneyland of science with huge machineries, conveyer belts running all around, and instruments working about in their own rhythm with sheer intricacies and perfection. As a kid, I was eager to understand the mechanics behind this magical rhythm. The desire of gaining in-depth knowledge about Control System and Automation eventually led me to choose Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering as my undergraduate study.
In 2010, I started my undergraduate degree course in Industrial Engineering and Management in the prestigious M.S. Ramaiah ...
Throughout my educational journey through secondary school and college, different personal learning experiences have shaped and developed who I am as a student by gaining many important academic skills that I believe will be invaluable at university and beyond in my future career. At secondary school, my favourite subject was English Language and 10% of my GCSE grade came from my Speaking and Listening presentation. One academic skill that I developed was researching. I researched many different interesting topics, using a variety of different sources; for example, the internet and also the books and facilities at my local library.
At the dawn of the information age, to be young, as Wordsworth said in another context, is very heaven. Getting to know what goes inside computers, the engines of the Information Technology revolution, and knowing how to work with them enables one to understand the technology that makes it all possible. Understanding this, I chose to do my undergraduate study in Electronics and Communications engineering.
My fascination towards Electronics N Communication basically developed in the 12th when I took part in a science exhibition. I was then fascinated with the complexities of different structures and their working. The i...

In a word, the major project and the MA experience gave me an extraordinary chance to carry on the higher education and learn new and advanced learning skills.
Post my under graduation with an Engineering degree in Information Technology from Nagpur University, I realize that I needed to gain practical working experience as a Network Engineer to gain first-hand knowledge of what the life of a Network/System Engineer entails. At my job, I especially had the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge projects and discuss ideas with senior engineers and founder of the firm. I soon realized that, although I enjoy handling the complex situations and their upcoming results, I was unsatisfied with carrying out only routine procedures under the direction of others. I wanted to be part of a team that directs the course of the project. My senior colleagues have encouraged my ambition and I feel this is the right time for pursuing my higher studies.
Electrical engineering, I believe, is the only field where one’s work becomes the most instrumental part of one’s mundane activity and life, and the output produced stays forever to credit. My perception is that, this field requires a lot of patience, perseverance and management skills in order to be successful. The connection that electrical engineering offered between me and this world is the fact that you can become a person who can impact so many lives. This made me pursue Electrical Engineering. After four years of undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering, I feel completely satisfied with my decision to choose this branch of engineering as my career option as it has revealed the most pragmatic and down-to-earth approach to tackling
