I was always fascinated by the power of the human brain to analyse, define and solve problems. That fascination turned into a profound interest in integrated circuits – tiny electronic chips, which revolutionized the world of electronics ever since their advent. Systems based on microcontrollers and microprocessors have helped us solve real world problems similar to a human brain. These facts motivated me to take up my undergraduate studies in electronics engineering and opt for a challenging career in embedded systems design. My decision to pursue a MS in Embedded systems is the outcome of an unquenching desire to enhance my knowledge, based on the insights I gained throughout my career.
As part of the undergraduate curriculum I had taken up extensive course work and laboratory sessions in subjects such as “Digital system design” and “Microprocessors & microcontrollers”. It helped me develop my academic project “Green house monitoring and control system”. This efficient Microcontroller based system is capable of monitoring and controlling, in real time, all the critical physical parameters inside a green house such as temperature, light, humidity and soil moisture. The project received huge appreciation from the scientists at KFRI (Kerala forest research Institute), India on its successful demonstration at the Green house facility of their Orchid nursery.
I was offered an interesting career in the field of embedded systems soon after my graduation. Working as a Hardware design engineer for the past 3.5 years, I have had hands-on experience in designing and testing analog/digital electronic circuits. I acquired the technical knowledge and skill set essential to excel as an Engineering professional. The increased responsibilities...

A few years down the line, as a young graduate, I would like to see myself, proactively contributing to the semiconductor industry in India. The industry in India, to a large extend, is still driven by the outsourcing business. The efforts and resources put into genuine research and development is very minimal. Major advancements in this field are hindered solely due to the fact that India lacks the people with the right expertise and vision. I will make use the exposure and expertise acquired during my graduate study to initiate a change in this direction. It is my strong belief that the graduate study from UoAS, Bremerhaven will assist me in pursuing a progressive career in the field of Embedded systems.
Throughout history, motivation has been one of the components to survival. Motivation is needed to get up in the morning and go on about the day in order to survive. As humans began to evolve, so did society, which meant our drive and motivation were derived from different goals rather than one common one. Rather than depending on biological drive, humans started to depend on the system of rewarding the good behavior and punishing the bad. This operating is known as Motivation 2.0 (Pink, 2009). However, this method is flawed due to the fact that this implies that humans are no different from a herd of livestock.
As a student and future professional, I am determined by an ethical obligation to endeavor for excellence in my educational deeds.

Motivation is key in the workplace. It is developed from the collaboration of both conscious and unconscious principles such as the strength of desire or need, motivating force or reward estimation of the objective, and desires of the person and of his or her peers/co-workers. These elements are the reasons one has for carrying on a specific way. An illustration is an understudy that invests additional energy contemplating for a test since he or she needs a superior review in the class. The Inside and outside principles that animate want and vitality in individuals to be constantly intrigued and centered around their work, part or subject, or to try to achieve an objective.
