Technology. It has permeated our way of life. Ever since Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb, engineers have been continuously innovating and inventing products to improve the quality of life. Today, electrical and computer engineers improve the quality of existing technology, integrate faster processors, enhance cyber-security, etc. I aspire to solve these types of problems. The College of Engineering at the Cornell University has opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom that will help me achieve my goals.
Throughout my years in high school, I have taken many STEM courses that have furthered my interest in engineering. At Cornell, I will immerse myself in foundation-building engineering courses such as MATH 1910, ENGRD 2100: Introduction to Circuits for Electrical and Computer Engineers, ENGRD 2110: Object-Oriented Programming and Data Structures, and many more. All of these courses cater to my interest in programming, circuits, and mathematics. My experience taking many AP courses has given me some preparation for the engineering curriculum at Cornell University.

I was the Programming Captain my junior year. We programmed the robot in C++ and solved complex problems including motion mapping, breaching obstacles, and shooting a ball. I was also able to learn the electrical aspects of the robot. I learned how to use a heat gun, soldering iron, crimp wires, and connect sensors. I was able to use these skills to design and build the electrical board for our robot. Due to my passion and involvement in the team I was promoted to the Robot Manager of the team. As Robot Manager, I am in charge of the entire robot-side and ensure that the robot is completed on

The concept of ambiguity had not been prevalent in society until the inception of the 20th century. Its presence has always been subtle, but its impact can lead students and scholars down to roads of new ideologies and even result in challenging the current standards of society. Ambiguity is the “quality of being open to more than one interpretation,” and thus, it forces us to remain open-minded. Authors and artists such as Steinbeck, Didion, Kingston, Thiebaud, Shepard, and everyone else we have encountered incorporate ambiguity as a way to provoke the reader and open up conversations regarding the current state of California. Despite all the opportunities available in The Golden State, it is indisputable that it is a placed filled with uncertainties.
I’m a student at Tompkins Cortland Community College this is my first semester as a college student. I plan to go to college for four years and only be at TC3 for this one semester, then transfer to a four year school. College has grown around the world more than ever and more people are attending college more than ever. I have chosen to go to college because of the rewards after graduation. Yes it is another four years of school but by getting more education and an extended degree gives me more opportunities for better jobs and more money. The career I have chosen to study is business administration. I am hoping that it takes me to a great job managing a company or possibly being an accountant.
I am fully aware that yours curriculum requires that I summon all my resources and I aver that I have the necessary commitment, intelligence and stamina to look forward to do it all. I believe that my experience of working on various projects coupled with my professional working ethics will not let your expectations down. I am convinced that my study at your department would be meaningful and rewarding experience to achieve my objective of life. I look forward to have a long and profitable association with your esteemed college. I especially thank you for giving me the opportunity to express about myself.
I was the captain of my robotics team for 5 years in the tournament called FLL. Through the five years my team has progressed pass the regional tournament against 8+ teams every year winning at least 2 awards at regionals. We have gone to the James Madison University competition and won 3 awards at that tournament against many teams from all other states. We did not have the chance to advance to worlds tournament, because we aged out of the tournament, but now I am in my school team in the next level of robotics hoping to use my past experience to do even better. In group projects at school as well, I like to become a leader, so that I can take control, but through my taking control I am able to let people who are quiet or shy a chance to talk and give ideas.
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.
I secured admission in the HKBK College of Engineering Bangalore (affiliated to the Visvesvaraya Technological University), where I opted to study Electronics and Communication Engineering during my Bachelor’s because of the exposure that this course provides in the core electronics discipline as well as in the programming and application side. Mathematics has remained to be a much loved subject for me. It was a delight to study Engineering Mathematics for the first 4 semesters of my undergraduate course, which introduced me to the expanded application of mathematical concepts especially in engineering problems. Apart from taking up core electronics subjects, when given a choice to choose from electives, I opted for a core programming or application-oriented subject. I have taken up courses ranging from Basic Object Oriented Programming in C++ and Data Structures in C++ to Pattern Recognition.
As a biology major in the STEM field, I had trouble overcoming my perfectionist mindset. Before, I was used to always excelling specifically in my science courses. Once I arrived at Spelman College, my perception changed. During the spring semester of my first year, I kept on receiving various exam grades that were not my “best”. Eagar to try harder and analyze my study skills, I tried a variety of tactics to help improve and excel in my science courses.
While I was in high school, not only was I an active volunteer in several activities such as food drives and helping those in need, in addition to community work, but also I became invested in engineering sciences due to my perceptions regarding the importance of electrical engineering to an emerging industrial country such as mine. Therefore, as I was to graduate soon, I decided to specialize in this science as a student and future professional. Fortunately, through my undergraduate studies, not only did I found the science to be highly intriguing and vast giving way access to endless disciplines, but I have also found that it is very much correlated to numerous other sciences. This observation prompted me to further delve in my studies to become one day a well-informed engineer.
Thirty years from now, I want to be able to say that I graduated college with a Chemical Engineering degree, and went to work straight out of college. Currently, I wish to work in an industrial setting, preferably at a pharmaceutical company. Moreover, I hope that my future self will say that I have grown as a person and have different flaws than I do now, but I hope that I will continue to enjoy helping others all throughout my life. Even as I as I am challenged, I hope that I will be able to look back and see that I am stronger than I was before, and have hope that the next day will be even better than the one before. As I go away to college and leave my parents, I want to continue to grow in my Faith. Most importantly, I hope that I am happy and satisfied in everything I do.
During the academic years, we learn the basic sciences, and we also learn that most of our knowledge, as they might change, need to be updated via reading and being involved in research. At this point of my professional development, I am desiring a PhD program that concentrates on research in rehabilitation sciences, mainly for two reasons. My first goal from pursuing a PhD degree is that I want to have the ability to conduct primary research independently as much as I can. From a personal prospective, a successful researcher should be able to conduct research regardless of the available resources.
Everyone wants to be something from a doctor to a stylist, I want to be a mechanical engineer. This is something I have always wanted to do in my life, the opportunities that exist in this field can lead to anything. Mechanical engineers are able to do many tasks in the job environment from designing, to developing, and also building. In addition, as new companies are starting up they will need mechanical engineers to help them develop their product. All of the engineering fields have great pay, that is able to support my family and also my parents. In the work environment of a mechanical engineer, they usually are around an office and sometimes where their product is being used at. To be able to apply for a mechanical engineering job you

Unlike many students who are unsure of the specialty they wish to pursue when entering college, my goal has always been to become a computer engineer. Becoming a computer engineer is not simply a decision I have taken lightly. I have thought very long and hard before deciding to pursue this career path.
Why do I want to be a civil engineer? Well, I am mainly interested in becoming a civil engineer for two reasons. My first reason is that I want to see something I designed on paper become real. I have always thought that was the coolest thing about engineers: they can design things like skyscrapers on paper, and then have them built because they are free of all errors. My second reason is just me wanting to have a career and not just a regular job at a factory, where there is always the chance of jobs being offshored or done by machines instead of people.
