In order to keep the quest alive of making our lives simpler and creating a brighter ecosystem, it is very important to continuously explore and contribute to the field of Science and Technology. I realized that the major decisions made right from my undergraduation to my professional career led me to this stage of life where now I seek the opportunity to pursue Masters in Computer Science from Illinois Institute of Technology. I started gaining interest in programming during High School while learning C++ and SQL as part of my course. I was also awarded for proficiency in high school level and scored highest marks in Central Board of Secondary Education Examination in 2006. My interest in computers took me on a journey of understanding the basics of the various levels and components.
To give an academic form to my curiosity I did Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Gyan Vihar School of Engineering and Technology, Jaipur. Already having developed skills in programming and algorithm at high school level, I explored various dimensions of digital electronics and embedded system programming during my bachelors course. To continue learning more about embedded system and microcontrollers, I attended a few technical workshops conducted by ‘The Robotics Institute’, an incubation of Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai and a few others conducted by Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur. I learned about various techniques of making smart vehicles that could avoid obstacles, follow path based on color, calculate distance of object and respond to radio frequency signals. These vehicles used the 8051 series Atmega8535 microcontroller for processing I/O from various sensors and driving dc motors using IC L293D. I a...

...e and Index DB with XUL based client applications. I worked on migrating important service modules from Amazon EC2 to Google App Engine. I am currently also involved in various research and development activities required for taking the product to a higher level. I am mentoring the training program for interns and guiding them for their internship projects, as well.
Having designed various embedded system projects and Software applications I have gained profound interest in System Architecture and Design. I believe courses like Computer Architecture, Hardware/Software Codesign and Advance Computer Networks are the next turning point in my journey towards exploring undiscovered depths in the field of Computer Science. I look forward to putting my experience and potential to good use in the research based environment of Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago.
I believe in the saying that through the serendipity of exploring oneself and intensive self-examination, one ends up making all sorts of unexpected discoveries. The saying seemed to have fittingly applied to me when I was advised by my counselor to explore the world outside of easy classes at my community college. Upon being convinced by my counselor’s gift of the gab, I was given opportunities to enroll into a fistful of programming classes focusing on basic C, Java and embedded system. Unexpectedly enough, I found myself taking pleasure in the wide variety of programming courses more than my major classes. I have always been fascinated with computer systems and networking since my childhood, but the process of learning computer science algorithms in undergraduate level classes was what vastly motivated me to dive into the field of computer science.
It then proceeds to examine the need for these skills in the real world and the need for these skills to be taught at university level. It starts by examining the general case of all students arriving in college for the first time and by the end gets to the particular needs of computer science students and others in the more practical disciplines.
In terms of teaching, our undergraduate and graduate curriculum provides a timely and well-rounded view of the field, with special emphasis on the practical aspects of building useful software. Our strengths lie in the traditional mainstream of areas of computer science: algorithms, programming languages, operating systems, distributed computing, networks, databases and theory of computing. We also offer courses in some subfields: graphics, artificial intelligence and the software aspects of computer architecture. The department's programs prepare students for positions in the design and development of computer systems and applications, in business and industry, and for scientific positions in industrial or academic computing research.
To achieve greatness, I believe that talent and hard work, even though essential, are not abundant, one should also pursue passion oriented dreams. It took me some time to find out how to chase my dreams in the real world. When I was twenty years old, I was studying Engineering at The University of Technology. At that time, I did not know what could be my dream, but I certainly came to understand what could NOT be my dream: being an engineer or a faculty member in the Engineering field. The reason was simple. I did not want to know just how objects work, but I wanted to know how people interact with themselves. After a while, I decided to change my field of study. Considering all relevant graduate programs, I came to believe that Master of Business Administration would be a good choice for me, since it was the best social science program available in my country in terms of international orientation, quality of education, and creditability of faculty members. I ranked 104th over 80,000 participants in National Universities Entrance Exam for MBA program. Furthermore, I took the National Entrance Exam of The State University and I got first position in my field. Consequently, I chose The State University "The Mother University" to study MBA.
In this proposal, I will first discuss the current situation in the Computer Science Field based off of my research. Second, I will discuss my qualifications and why my suggestions matter. Third, I will offer a plan to improve the current degree system. Finally, I will discuss some costs and benefits to my proposal.
The world of technology has always intrigued me, from the operation of microprocessors to the complex programming behind hardware and software. My desire to understand how these function has led to my intention to undertake a course in Computer Science, and I have taken every available opportunity through school and college to further my knowledge in the subject.
I was raised by a mother who dropped out of college after her first semester and a grandmother who only had a third grade education. Both women taught me how important education was and to continue learning as much as I can. Despite raising seven children alone, my grandmother eventually earned her GED and took several college courses to show her children how important education was. My mother returned to college 20 years after dropping out and earned her a Master’s Degree in Human Services. The determination I saw in them is the reason I decided to continue my education and pursue graduate studies. After six years of work experience in the information technology industry, I have finally decided which field I would like to focus on. I’ve always had an interest in programming ever since taking a technology course in high school. I took what I learned in the course and applied it to the earlier social media sites, such as Blackplanet.com and Myspace.com. I realized that this was becoming a hobby as my friends would ask that I create the layouts for their personal pages using HTML.
“Constant efforts, dedication, devotion and determination are the key to success” This principle I have followed in my career. Setting goals and striving hard to accomplish them has always been my strength in professional as well as personal life. I have always been amazed by computers, code –programs and was keen to understand the underlying meaning, gimmick, structure and pattern of how programs actually work. Learning about simple Foxpro programs, excel sheet formulae, C programs at an early age heightened my interest in computer programs. This childhood interest urged me to do a diploma in information technology and later bachelor’s degree in the same area. Having completed six years course in Information Technology, and two years of experience in IT. I stand by the principal “Stay Hungry” and this has helped me in achieving my goals. Standing by this I would like to explore ahead and pursue MS in MIS. I would like emerge to put to use this knowledge to pursue MS program in MIS.

As rightly said by Hippocrates “The life so short, the craft so long to learn”. I believe that a good mix of talent and dependability are a crucial and potent mix for success. Honing my skills with a Masters’ degree after completing my Bachelors’ Degree In Physiotherapy, I believe would help me develop an array of cross functional skills. Gaining technical expertise in the subject of physiotherapy and then whetting my skills during my internship, taught me to be precise and scrupulous towards every task at hand. Having successfully pursued this field for nearly 5 years, I believe that, if given a chance, these skills endow me with the knowledge to gain an opportunity to pursue higher studies at your prestigious university.
After my twelfth grade, the inherent ardor I held for Computer Sciencemotivated me to do a bachelors degree in Information Technology.
