The decision to pursue masters in engineering management has not happened suddenly. Over the past 5 years, several aspects of my studies and work built the passion and interest in the field. I enjoyed my engineering education in general and did fairly well. However, I particularly excelled in courses that dealt with management, communications and humanities. The following graph shows the overall picture. After my undergraduate studies, I decided to gain expertise in management but I also did not want to lose my technology edge as I loved both disciplines. I got offers from Accenture (Fortune 500) and Wipro (Top 4 IT companies in India) in my campus itself (offer letters enclosed). However, as both were purely technical jobs, I rejected and pursued further studies in techno-management. I pursued a certificate program in Business Analytics and Optimization (http://insofe.edu.in/init/default/cee_program_features), which combined business, math and data sciences and fuelled my interest for further exploration of business world with engineering tools. I am currently working for a start-up (Acme Analytics) where I am involved in social media marketing and business analysis. I chose this job though the company is the smallest amongst all the offers I got, as I get to directly report to the CEO of the company. I can talk of a couple of projects that showcase my business and technical skills in solving real world problems. Bond price prediction: Using artificial neural networks, I am currently working on developing a predictive model to forecast the price of bonds that help hedge fund managers trade in real time. Details of the project and also other similar projects in analytics (Target Marketing and Stock Value Prediction) I worked on ar... ... middle of paper ... ...e M.B.A. is about general administration of an enterprise whereas my passion is in specific execution of large scale technology projects I believe M.S. at the University of Southern California suits me perfectly because of the exciting curriculum. I have already been introduced to some topics from a few of the courses like ISE 530 (Introduction to Operations Research) and ISE 527 (Quality Management for Engineers) during my certification program, and it would be quite exciting to study them at a much deeper level. I found Dr. Settles’s research in engineering management and quality management and Dr. Winterfeldt’s research in decision analysis and risk analysis highly interesting and matching my interests. My educational background, work experience and the personality I built through other activities gives me the confidence that I can excel in the graduate program.
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
One instance where an experience in USC 101 or 102 helped me explore my preferred major was completely the Majors and Minors Scavenger Hunt. This gave me a more thorough look at the different majors and concentrations of engineering, as well as the classes I would need to take at North Carolina State University. I used this information throughout USC and in my everyday life, through my class selection.
It is evident that people have different and unique desires when it comes to career interests. Therefore, this desire is the driving motive for people in their career growth and development. Perhaps, the first step towards selecting a satisfying career is to find out the things that are exciting and a source of joy. I have always found business management an interesting career option because my ultimate objective is to become among the leading businesspersons. Business management involves dealing with various kinds of people and a lot of strategic decision-making, which are the two major important attributes of a business person (O'Grady, 2009). Business management career is an interesting career, because it is one of the ways that an individual can become their own boss through establishing a business and seeing it through to success. In this particular research, my focus was based on Apple Inc (Hitt, Hoskisson & Ireland, 2013). It is one of the leading companies in the mobile phones and computer industry. Its success is accredited to the manner in which management has been handled within the company.
Students studying engineering will always find the subject interesting and will find internships and employment quickly after their graduation. It is the area of study which is amazing and innovative at the same time because it is the future world and people studying engineering know all the future technologies first, get to enjoy that technology before the whole world, it is for those kind of people who liked to challenge in all aspects of life as they find the area of study more interesting than other engineering students because it is how you learn things and enhance the knowledge and

“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.
I have accomplished a lot in a short period; however, my journey is not complete until I continue my education. Essentially, this degree will help foster my growth and career success. My passion and dedication will speak for itself. My hard work and determination will prevail and I am a fit more than the next applicant because I have the passion, experience, critical thinking and analytical skills needed to complete this program through successfully arguing my capstone in front of a board or committee. My goals are definitely aligned with this program and I hope my next read is an acceptance letter from the admissions council.
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.

Looking back after nine years, I could not feel more assured that at that time, I made the right choice. My unusual combination of experiences sets me worlds apart from not only a normal engineer but also from a marine engineer at similar position. Working for a big shipping company, exclusively on international assignments in high tech, capital intensive and rising LNG industry is the kind of job I had envisioned at the time of finishing my graduation. I could not have come here without that choice I made back then.
