“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today”- Malcolm X
After carefully considering my aptitude, interests, the nature of my training and my ultimate professional ambition, I have decided to pursue M.S. in Electrical Engineering specializing in the field of my interest namely- Embedded Systems, ultimately leading to a career in teaching and research. As a statement of purpose of my undergraduate study, I describe here my academic background, my research interests and my career goals.
The undergraduate programme at SRM University, Chennai is a well-rounded programme. It not only helped me build a solid foundation of Electronics and Communication Engineering fundamentals, but also helped me develop an overall perspective of the vast field of Electrical Engineering. In the final year I developed a keen interest in the area of Embedded Systems. I substantiated my knowledge of these areas by choosing electives on Linear Integrated Circuits, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, VLSI Design, Digital Signal Processing, ASIC Des...
Many great minds believe that education is a powerful tool. Investing in your education is the most valuable and most rewarding thing a person can do to secure their future. Influential people who have brought positive changes to the world have said: “The investment in knowledge pays the best interest”. (Franklin). “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”. (Nelson Mandela). “A brighter future starts with an education”. (Montgomery).
Nelson Mandela once said, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” but what happens if this weapon becomes too expensive to use. Throughout our life time, what we are really taught is that how important it is for one to receive their education, but who really needs to be taught is the education system itself. It is an American dream for our and future generations to gain knowledge and advance because that’s what our nation needs; it needs people who we can trust to hand our nation to, but the debt that comes with educating our generations is holding a lot of them back and that’s unacceptable.

Secondary research was conducted through search engines, books, and a personal interview. A questionnaire was given out to a currently employed Electrical Engineer that holds a degree. It included questions about his daily life, the skills he uses, problems he faces, steps he takes to solve them and how he sees the future change for the field of electrical engineering.
“Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource” John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA.
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire” – William Butler Yeats
Education should never be a privilege for the few, but a basic right for all who want to better themselves. A reason why people choose
education is not just to earn a degree but to shape an individual into a well-rounded and well-informed
Technology is advancing rapidly, and as a consequence, the job market in electrical engineering is changing. Jobs that are available now require a new set of skills and capabilities that did not exist at the time students have started their studies. Furthermore, students would have a more prosperous future in an industrial environment if classes have prepared them to adopt readily new work and job duties that they will encounter during their careers.
Quote from (john Dewey) he stated that education is a necessity for a person to be successful in life.
System architecture and design of the system of an SoC is the most important parts to be considered when developing system-on-chip applications.
Ever since my days in middle school in China, I have dreamed of being an electrical engineer. My father nurtured my copious ideas such as transformer and inductor. Even though I didn’t have too much idea about electrical engineering, I found abundant happiness though work activities that included practical and hand-on problems. During the past three years, I learned a lot concept including semiconductor, electromagnetic and signal at University of Illinois. I have explored ECE widely and eventually found power electronics as my concentration to further my education in graduate school. I believe power electronics is the key technology for advance energy application, especially renewable energy. In order to be a qualified power engineer, I make a decision, pursuing a master’s degree.
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do-Steve Jobs”. During my school days I had greater proclivity towards applied sciences and mathematics. Developing basic electronic circuits and mathematical applications based computer programs, learnt during the lab sessions at school became my regular hobbies. That was what I loved to do. As time passed, these particular hobbies began to turn into a unique passion. This prompted me to choose Electronics and Telecommunications engineering as my major for my undergraduation. After rigorous curriculum training and a series of research and projects carried out in my undergraduation, my eagerness for my passion has intensified. Thus I believe achieving a master’s degree in electrical engineering with a specialization in VLSI design from San Diego State University will definitely help me to achieve perfection and hone my existing engineering skills.( The VLSI research projects ranging from ultra-compact reconfigurable Matrix Processor to on chip performance measurement carried out at San Diego State University are akin to my interest and the electrical engineering department will definitely help me to motivate and make me a part of their team in future research work.)
Ever since my school days, I have been interested in the theoretical frameworks in Mathematics and Sciences, which drive the digital world. I used to watch ‘How Stuff Works’ on the Discovery Channel and was in awe every time I saw it. Seeing the manner in which the Electrical devices were built and the various processes involved, infused a desire in me to be part of this process. The amazing task of connecting the world is the monopoly of electronic devices; hence, I made Electronic & Communication engineering my choice. In addition to finding out how a device operates, I have always been interested in design aspects and monitoring the incipient faults occurring within electronic gadgets. This urge has strengthened my ability to recognize the scope for improvement and motivated me to look beyond the conventional functionalities of any gadget.
