STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
I believe that as an engineer I should work hard towards shaping a better future for myself as well as a better world for humanity at large. I want to be a part of the technological revolution and contribute to build an operating interface between science and society for optimal use of resources, environment protection, and indeed, to shape our future.
This vision drives my aspiration to join Northeastern University for pursuing Masters in Electrical and Computer Engineeering. I envisage myself pursuing a research oriented career in academia or industry in computer engineering. For this I would like to do masters in my field of interest and then proceed to do PhD.
As an undergraduate at The LNM Institute Of Information Technology, apart from my major , Electronics and Communication Engineering, I got engaged in many hands-on projects which involved concepts of Computer Engineering. Coding is interesting to me and most of my major projects involved coding in C or Python. Further courses like computer networking, wireless, digital communication, image processing strengthened my concepts and stimulated my interest in the subject. As one of the members of the science and technology council and core organizer of technical fest in college I have been involved in various technical events which further encouraged me to choose a research oriented career.
Networking is a course I have been introduced to during my junior year. As I sifted through the textbooks the interplay and interconnections between various devices and systems and the impact they create on the world seemed amazing to me. The Ethical Hacking workshop I attended in my freshman year aroused my interest in geo locating IP addresses. Due to th...

...tion, but begins with that. Being the chairperson of Women in Engineering of the LNMIIT IEEE group, I have motivated around 1000 young women engineers and organized several professional development workshops , corporate information sessions for their participation. I worked with an aim to stimulate women to achieve full potential in careers as engineers and leaders.
While the technical projects furnished me with foundation skills to encompass engineering, my varied interests aided me to develop a multidimensional personality both of which motivate my pursuit of a graduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University.This would not only solidify my concepts and better help me narrow down my area of interest for PhD, but also enable me to provide vital contributions to the society.
Looking forward to be a part of Northeastern University!

    In brief, this article presents a view that women in engineering must enter the field as “conceptual men”. This means that in order to succeed in a male dominated field, women must essentially “become like men”. The article goes on to interview women in the engineering field. In particular, Ranson (2005) interviews women with and without children. This provides differing views of how women in engineering with and without children in engineering have approached their jobs.

    Within living memory, young women who have wanted to study engineering faced such dissent that in 1955, Penn State’s dean of engineering declared, “Women are NOT for engineering,” asserting that all but a few “unusual women” lacked the “basic capabilities” necessary to succeed in this profession (Bix par. 2). Although the number of women in social sciences and humanities has grown steadily, women remain underrepresented in science and engineering. Bureau of Labor Statistics states that “women remain underrepresented in engineering constituting only 10 percent of full-time employed engineers and 7.7 percent of engineering managers...” Although this is the case, social norms, culture and attitudes play a significant role in undermining the role of women in the aforementioned fields in addition to the gendered persistence and their individual confidence in their ability to fulfill engineering roles.

  • What Is Self Motivation Essay

    938 Words  | 2 Pages

    Technology is increasing exponentially, and now I am a part of that ‘future’. When I look into my future, I see myself working toward the minimization of the human imprint in our world more specifically energy consumption. Being an Electrical Engineer, clean energy is an area that I am deeply passionate about. We are part of an ecosystem which is threatened every day by our wastes. Yes! We do use recycling, wind turbines, and hydraulics, but we need to take advantage of these to produce cleaner energy. To get closer to my passion, I will master in Mechanical Engineering so that I can have a clear understanding of the interactions of electronics and their mechanics. I believe every engineer should take some type of environmental courses to understand the direct effects of engineering in our surroundings. Therefore, one my academic goals is to study the environment so that when I create something I have thought of the ways it may impact nature. When I imagine my finish line, I see myself working alongside others who want to build a greener planet, who want to see oil-free oceans, and who can coexist with nature. I believe that engineering is the way to move towards this future and it is the reason why I decided to pursue it. In H.A.C.U, I will meet people who share similar views as me, who are willing to collaborate ideas,
