Statement Of Purpose In Computer Engineering

The mind must never be kept idle because of its tremendous capacity to absorb and learn. After careful consideration of my aptitude, interests and experiences gained while pursuing my under graduation in the field of Computer Science and Engineering, I have decided to pursue my Masters in the field of Computer Science. Being a dynamic and ever evolving field, many new developments are expected and there is immense scope for research on new products and applications. To progress and make a mark in this field, I realize that it is important for me to pursue my Masters from a reputable university. I have always dreamt of taking up research.

“Expectations and uncertainty are the joys of life”. I am filled with a sense of déjà vu as I bring my pen down to fill in the application form. “Every great and commanding movement in the annals of the world is the triumph of enthusiasm – Nothing great was ever achieved without it”. With this enthusiasm, I set to seek what I require to enhance my knowledge, right from school to under graduation and now into post-graduation. Goals and aspirations To pursue higher education in Computer Engineering by doing my Masters in an esteemed university, and thereby make a mark in the field.

My immediate degree objective to carry out MS in Computer Science with major in Software Engineering to expand the horizon of my education that I gathered from undergraduate level and to utilize the experience gained from professional exposure. I wish to follow it up with a PhD degree to pursue my career in research and experience the excitement and satisfaction of being at the forefront of this field. My strong interest, for learning new ideas with my inner desire to reach a degree of excellence in every piece of work I perform, enabled me to acquire significant knowledge on various aspects of technology, as well as leading me through a successful educational career. Right from my early childhood, I developed the curiosity to learn new topics. Watching closely to my father's work in the field of electronics and computer played a crucial role as my mind molded towards this technical studies.

I am completely aware of the dedication and hard work required in a graduate program. A strong conviction in my knowledge and capabilities will help me succeed with the course as well as research work. I hope to not only be a part of your stimulating academic environment but also learn greatly at each stage of my graduate study and make notable contributions to the Department of Computer Science at USC.

I have always been attracted towards subjects that draw upon one’s analytical abilities. My early fascination for electronics (since high school), combined with a strong liking for analytical subjects inspired me to choose Electrical and Electronics Engineering as my branch during undergraduate studies. My undergraduate education at I.F.E.T College of Engineering affiliated to Madras University, has given me a comprehensive exposure to the areas of Computers, Electrical and Electronics and a strong conceptual understanding of the same. In these four years of study, I have strived to maintain an approach of expending independent effort in all my endeavors. Learning by myself and sharing my knowledge with others has been most worthwhile, when comprehending a concept.

Being a creative person, I am inclined towards using this technology to bring out the best that I can give for the industry. My interest in this particular Master’s stems from my past experience in the field of computer science and technology, tasks and projects undertaken during the B. Tech program; and also the feedback I receive from my friends and peers in this domain. I... ... middle of paper ... ...lege journal or news magazine would give me the chance to enrich my study abroad program on this MS course. Impressed with the US education system for technical education and R&D attractions, apart from the freedom to choose one’s own range of subjects to shape the career and professional future according to unique aptitudes and interests, has been the major reason for my taking up this MS at your college.

This school of thought drives me to pursue graduate studies with an objective of enhancing my technical, intellectual as well as philosophical understanding of computer science. I feel absolutely ready for the challenge, mental as well as academic that graduate studies pose. I take pride in describing my hitherto exciting journey of computer science. I joined bachelors in computer science in 2010. Since then I have benefited from the breadth of my curriculum which introduced me to various facets of Computer Science with challenging opportunities and in turn equipped me with a sound fundamental knowledge base in various disciplines and standards.

I am very thankful for providing me this opportunity and it is with sincere sense of gratification that I pen down my brief statement of purpose. Striving for betterment and improvement has been my motto in all aspects of life and the same applies even to my professional and academic career. 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 Information Technology. While reasoning my intentions to pursue MS in Computer Science at your esteemed university, I would like to throw some light on my career till now.

This was my first encounter which taught me how a creative and innovative idea's could transform fundamental features into powerful tools. Attaining significant expertise in C, C++ and Java helped me set a firm grasp on my trajectory. In eagerness to equip myself in the subject, I attended various workshops and did a mini-project to realize my understanding. Being a member of IEEE digital library, I skimmed through many journals and publications which helped me a lot in working on my research project and papers. I realized that Engineering can be even more appealing once... ... middle of paper ... ... being an inspiring place, LSE places a strong fold for hands-on experience which coupled with a strong theoretical base could be life changing and empowering journey for me.

To achieve my goal, I need to have a strong understanding & expertise in Computer Science. I feel that graduate studies at a great university like Illinois Institute Of Technology in pursuit of a Graduate would be a step in that direction. My undergraduate studies in the Department of Information Technology at the St.Joseph’s College of Engineering under Anna University, Chennai have been extremely helpful to acquire a strong foundation in computer science. I majored in Computer Science so that I would get the broadest exposure possible in multiple disciplines using which I could more easily leverage my learned skills. Through the many opportunities I have had here, I have found that I have a deep interest in software development and web design and a strong aptitude for the type of problem solving and problem discovery that it involves.
