Essay / Personal statement for obtaining an undergraduate degree in...
Scientific methodology, analysis and reasoning have had a significant impact on shaping my approach and developing a different learning aptitude towards academics; this quickly developed into a more specific interest in science. I became interested in electronics during my high school years, when I was introduced to the subject of circuit theory in physics. Therefore, pursuing an undergraduate degree from a reputed engineering college in India with electronics as my major became an obvious choice for me. Determined to pursue the same, I prepared myself for this fierce competition. Two years of focused preparation earned me a position in the top 0.3% among 1 million prospective candidates for the national level engineering entrance exam - All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), 2010 and a place in the desired branch of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) in one of India's premier institutes of technology, National Institute of Technology (NIT), Trichy. The field of integrated circuits and systems fascinated me when I first discovered it during my second year of an undergraduate university program. The theoretical courses and practical work related to this field that I followed during these three years reinforced my interest and played an important role in the development of my skills. The constant desire to know more beyond what the book tells me and to indulge in work outside of my regular prescribed classes has motivated me to undertake various internships and research projects, workshops and technical competitions on a non-academic level. My first project, during my second year at NIT Trichy, was a basic MATLAB/Simulink design of dynamic and stable analysis of a self-excited induction generator. This...... middle of paper...... design and analysis of analog and digital circuits, reliability, timing constraints, optimization of software and hardware components, synthesis tools that align with my area of interest. With the experience, knowledge and skills acquired, I see myself involved in active research in this area. I have a strong desire to learn new concepts and autonomy to face the challenges presented in all circumstances. My career goal is to develop exceptional skills in this field and acquire skills necessary to pioneer new developments and innovations. It is with this goal in mind that I wish to pursue master's and then doctoral studies at (the university in question). > I firmly believe that under the guidance of your highly competent professors, I will decisively shape my career for the better..
