Choosing a major for the under graduate studies is an elementary task for all the students who are done with their High school and when it was my turn to decide, I knew that I wanted to take up a major which was related to gaming. However, convincing my parents to let me choose a not so traditional major was next to impossible. Instead, they convinced me to take up Information Technology as my major. As the saying goes, “parents are always right,” I now have the foundation required for Game Engineering and I wish to introduce myself as Anirudh Vemuri, a prospective student aspiring to pursue my Masters in the United States, the forefront in Game Development.
I was lucky enough to get into SLC’s Institute of Engineering and Technology, which is one of the renowned Institutions affiliated to “Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad” known for its elite teaching faculty. My professors were very supportive of the fact that I wanted to create a career in the gaming industry and asked me to concentrate on coding. I was intrigued by the things one could do with a simple fifty li...
Juan started out his career at Truckee Meadows Community College in Reno, Nevada. Juan has been attracted by technology and decided to major in computer sciences. He first achieved his associate’s degree in computer sciences, then he merged off into computer engineering and got his bachelor’s degree. After that, Juan focused on computer programming in order to also help in game developing, he got an associate’s degree in this field. Juan states,” I was only able to begin this journey of education
“My little princess is growing up” said my mother with a smile after she dropped me off to my next journey to New York City. Sauntering along the streets of the “Big Apple” and learning computer science at Girls Who Code was a dream come true. I never imagined my parents letting me go to New York City alone. Walking on the busy streets alongside thousands of people was worth gaining exposure to computer science.
Women are looked down on in the video game industry, like many other ‘male dominated’ factions of society, mainly do to the poor numbers of women in high jobs of the gaming community. Female game developers make up only 11 percent of game designers and 3 percent of programmers, dramatically low percentages in the light of their male counterparts. The percentage of women as game developers are low even when compared with the br...
...ience in UW, I am attracted by the program about computer graphics, animation, and game science. This research is conducted by the GRAIL group and affiliated with the Center for Game Science and the Animation Research Labs at UW, which perfectly matches my interest. However, if Computer Science department don’t accept me, Mathematics will be my alternate major.
The Career I have researched is the field of Video Game design and development. This field was chosen because I have always had an interest in video game. They have always have been a major part of my life and I wish to help shape the future of video games. What I hope to learn from this project is the required skills I’ll need to pursue this goal. Also, I wish to learn part of the process of making video games.
I though why not try to start playing with different software to help my friends gaming experience as well as everyday computer use. Well to start off with I started creating game servers for my friends to play on and use to have fun. We all had a blast and I loved making my friends happy and being able to control way we could experience software. Then I decided well if I can make servers run great for my friends I wonder if I could code some software too. Well that’s when it hit me right at that moment is when I had a huge interest in computers and knew that computer science was the path in life I was going to take.
A fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering. The power of research and delivering it for the growth of Society is what makes me interested in the technology side of science. I choose to major Computer science Engineering with an intense urge to delve into this challenging field. During my under graduation program I learned the various fundamentals of Computer science Engineering which together with practical course works reinforced my interest.
Growing up in the late 90’s, I witnessed computers revolutionize India – we had cellphones and personal computers and the internet transforming our lives - and like most other kids, I was fascinated by them. It wasn’t until I took course on QBasic in 8th grade, however, that I really took a liking to computer programming. The idea of computer ‘languages’ seemed almost magical to me. Over the years, that proclivity for programming grew into a passion and led me to take more programming electives in higher grades. I also took the initiative to set up a student-run Computer Club in my high school and host our first annual Computer Symposium. My upbringing in Delhi also made me aware of the gaping inequalities of wealth distribution in our society and as my interest in Computer Science deepened, it only reinforced my belief that lean-technologies can help governments of developing countries in bringing their policies to the altar of execution more efficiently.
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.
My undergraduate preparation at the Computer Science of my University has given me a very substantial knowledge of the basic areas of Computer Science. Any amount of learning in Computer Science would be incomplete without hands on experience of Programming. In a world where...
My parents instilled a passion for reading in me even as a toddler; years later, an excellent,
Being well acknowledged about the above saying has pushed me a mile further for every aspect of my life. The four year engineering course in Information Technology has always been a beautiful experience and has inspired me to put the knowledge into my Masters degree. This would allow me to enhance my knowledge about technology and its pros and cons and the guidance I would need. Gone are those days when man had to slog for simple works, he has advanced into boundaries which are unimaginable and has made his life easy, being an essential part of such an advancement has always been my motive. To attain my goal, my first priority would be in the field of research which will consist experiencing the applications in the real world steered by comprehensive know-how about technology. Technology has prevailed and casted its spell to parts unknown and now has been imbibed into man.
Math is a subject has always and will continue to pulled my interests. This was because it was a subject that would lead me to a single unique answer. Once I started to attend high school, physics then opened up another interest, not only with math, but an interest in Math with actual application into the real world. With physics, it allowed me to see how math could be used to predict events. The classes that I have taken that has shaped my interests for my major of science in mathematics are Physics, and Computer Science.
This perfectly holds true for me in the world of Computer Engineering where novel ideas are not a novelty. It is this novelty that entices me to this field and gives me a deep sense of professional pride. In this context, I would like to pursue my graduation in Computer Engineering, which not only supplements the knowledge that I possess but also provides a strong platform for my future career goals.
Computer programming can be a gateway job to many other interesting jobs. Programmers work in a wide variety of industries (Career Cruising). Programming can lead to making software for hospitals, banks, or even schools. But a very popular job for programmers is being part of a game development team. Programming can also lead to working for big companies like Google or Yahoo.
