As a recent graduate from the University of Pune in Electronics and Communication Engineering. I have been innately curious throughout my life and I have interests in topics like genetics, evolutionary psychology, game theory and neurobiology. My current interests in electronics are in smart grids, SiC-based power devices, power converters and integration of power and control systems like power-supply on chip. My first experience with applied electronics was in my second semester. I was part of a 3-member team that designed an automatic water tap which controlled the flow of water based on the light intensity on a photodiode for the science exhibition. The project involved using a solenoid valve and it was my first experience of Lenz’s Law first hand with a burnt out transistor due to the inductance. In my third semester the course Power Devices and Machines introduced us to power devices like power diodes, BJTs and MOSFETs and the tradeoffs involved with switching time/breakdown voltage/on-resistance. The course also covered the 3 basic DC-DC converter topologies – Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, rectifiers and inverters. We were introduced to DC brushed motors, brushless motors, induction motors, stepper motors and the control strategies involved with each. This was where I really liked power electronics due to its wide scope and the challenges it poses to any engineer and where only a great engineer can show their skills. I understood that power electronics requires understanding multiple subjects to really excel. I participated in two circuit designing and debugging competitions and I was a finalist on both occasions with each competition having a pool of atleast 500 participants. In my fourth semester the subject Integrated Cir... ... middle of paper ... ...gh torque we could generate. I agree my GPA would be considered low among my peers, hence I have taken an Online Course in Fundamentals of Power Electronics on Coursera being taught by Prof. Robert Erickson, and the course awards a certificate with distinction to students who complete the course with the highest scores which I hope to receive by 15th Dec,2013. Online courses by their very nature require people to be self-motivated as there is no professor or TA on your case nor are there any repercussions if you don’t complete the course. I feel this demonstrates both my ability to study independently-an asset in graduate school, and shows how self-motivated I am. In your department I am especially interested by the problems that Prof. xyz is working on. I feel that abc could be a good way to go forward on this. I would like to work with him on the said problem.
I gradually became interested in Industrial Distribution throughout my education career. When I was applying for college during my senior year of high school, I was having a difficult time deciding between the majors of Business and Engineering. Therefore, I applied to Computer Engineering and was put into Blinn TEAM. Since Blinn was more cost efficient, I declined that offer and applied directly to Blinn College. I completed all of my core classes at Blinn and applied to transfer into Texas A&M. I did some research and asked my fellow students about whether there is a major that combines both Business and Engineering, and I stumbled upon Industrial Distribution. I decided that was the best fit for me, so I applied to that major.
Throughout my career at WHS, I have maintained nearly perfect grades and worked hard to excel – not just to earn an A, but to fully understand the material. I have taken every advanced course offered to me and more. I have taken 7 AP tests and earned 7 5’s. I scored nearly perfect on the SAT (superscore of 2380), nearly perfect on the ACT (raw score of 35.25), and have pushed myself by taking AP courses over the summer and performing well in ACP classes. The rigor of my classes has allowed me to earn a GPA of almost 4.6, and I’m still ready for more.
I grew up in North Sudan with not much electrical power in many places due to the lack of experts, and electricity is only available in cities. Despite all this North Sudan has more than enough resources to use for electrical power like building dams in the Nile river or using the Sahara Desert as a solar power source of energy. These reasons and more are why electricity and electrical engineering were always a mystery, it was something I wanted to learn and study. Hopefully, after I gain experience from working for different companies in the field of electrical engineering, I can go back and help my country and maybe assemble my own company.
Wellnitz during junior year, and this course had a major influence on my selected area of interest. During my high school years at GSMST, I had the chance to work in a lab every single year. I learned the fundamentals on lab safety and equipment in freshman year chemistry. Little by little, I was learning how to use the lab equipment and when to use what type of lab equipment for different lab experiments and scenarios. I was able to spend most of my time in the lab during my AP Chemistry class. At least every two weeks, we had a lab were we could be very hands on and actively learning how chemistry can be applied through experiments. I would always be prepared and ready to collect data and collaborate with my fellow lab partners. For certain types of labs, we were able to design our own experiments so that we could have a chance to think on how acquire certain lab results. I soon began to realize the passion and enjoyment I felt working in a lab when I thought about my science fair project. My science fair group members and I worked long hard hours collecting data all night so that we could prove a simple engineering concept. There were times where we wanted to give up, but the feeling of accomplishment and completion trumped all of that. The thought of success and completing a project in a lab had major influence to my decision in the selected area of
One of the reasons for my GPA was a difficult calculus class that I attempted three times. I finally accepted that I could not pass that class. That class was also a requirement for my major so I explored other majors, took an intro to politics class and found my passion. My grades improved towards the end of my time at FIU but I knew that I wanted to enter the workforce after graduation to really get an idea of where my career could lead me. I believe that my successful completion of the graduate certificate showcases that I am ready for graduate level
Hello, I would like to start off by saying that even though my GPA is not a 3.00 yet, I have 3 remaining classes to complete before I graduate, which means I will work hard as always to ace all three of them, and rise my GPA beyond a 3.00. As I started my college experience, its safe to say I was dazed and bit confused; I did not know what I wanted to study, so my grades were not remarkable, but it was not until I find my calling ( a major in business) that I realized that I enjoy what I am studying and my grades reflected on it.
My test scores and GPA does not define me. Working hard to improve describes my characteristic. Unfortunately, I did not push myself, until eleventh grade. I realized I will not be successful endless I fix my attitude. Therefore, I applied myself and tried different things. I started waking up every Saturday at seven in the morning to do a film class in Manhattan. I did many community service jobs such as giving out presents at a Christmas event and working at a community garden over the Summer. Although my academic record may not impress some colleges, I am proud of the effort I did this past year. In 11th grade, I would remember going up to teachers and ask them how I can improve my grades. If they said participate more, I would raise my
...ithms, and the ability of the algorithm to reliably complete the task for which it was designed. Refining my computer knowledge and skills by taking such classes will ensure that I have the skills and knowledge to succeed in an engineering environment.
Being the top student in my secondary school (with 85.5%), I got admitted into Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering at MIT, Ujjain. My curriculum enhanced my knowledge in Microprocessors, Digital Signal Processing, and Analytical and Industrial Instrumentation. Having a strong zeal towards Information System and Computer Programming, I have also learned different languages like C, C++, SQL and PL/SQL.
I am interested in Microelectronics and Applied Physics, particularly the solid-state electronic devices, and its fabrication and characterization techniques. While I always had a natural inclination towards physics and electronics because of my mother who is a physicist, I got really passionate in the field of nano-electronics during my undergraduate study at Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IIT-GN) and the research internship at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC).
Engineering has been a key interest of mine since childhood. While still in grade school I enjoyed listening to my father, an electrical engineer, teach me about advances in technology, and was always eager to hear more. I was introduced to my first computer at the age of five, and have loved interacting with them ever since. My decision to study engineering as a career was no surprise to those who knew me.
Electrical engineering is the major that I am pursuing during my college career. I decided to pursue this major because it is a career, which requires knowledge in other subjects, it is a career, which changes often, and everyday it provides a person with new problems to solve.
Engineering is the application of scientific, economic design and a wide range of other specialized fields of engineering. As an engineer, there are four major different areas of engineering work that I can concern about, that is chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Beyond this four, sources separate to other main branches. Based on the electrical engineering is concerned with the basic forms of energy that run the world, there is a hopeful future in taking this major as my direction of future. However, what exactly is the benefit of this major; am I suppose to choose this major; what kinds of job opportunities that I am able to get and various of other questions are what I concerned the most.
From my perspective, excellent electronic engineers are a group of gifted and imaginative talents who bravely explore and innovate, change the world with passion and innovation. I have always dreamed of becoming one of them. For realizing this dream, I started from China 's Jilin University and then joined The University of Manchester for BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering to take more advanced professional courses. In UoM, I managed to gain GPA of 4.0. Yet, my pursuit of the dream does not end there, since I plan to apply for M.S. program in Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Carnegie Mellon University, where I can receive the best education among the world.
At the dawn of the information age, to be young, as Wordsworth said in another context, is very heaven. 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 Electronics and Communications engineering.
