Computer Science And Engineering Graduate

After having been in my first college year for a couple of months, I still had no idea what I was leaning towards for a major. Within these first couple of months I had learned that Biomedical Studies was not something that I was sure of, along with many other careers and majors that I learned about in the Compass class that were not for me. Tired of not knowing what I wanted to do, I sat myself down and did some researched. I came upon

Prior to this, growing up in Kathmandu, Nepal, my childhood consisted of me daydreaming of becoming the one and only computer scientist. I was just another young, eager child to meet life’s challenges. Taking these daring challenges led my journey to University of Massachusetts Lowell to pursue a degree towards computer science leading me closer

I was not sure of which field I wanted to major in. In high school I studied engineering for two years, so my guidance counselor and family members advised me to pursue a career in engineering. It was a very difficult decision to make because I did not know for sure if I wanted to continue studying

Since my early years, I was pushed into engineering because I excelled in math and science. I took an interest in bioengineering but my heart was not there. It was just a placeholder but I was not truly passionate about it and to me that was unsatisfactory. I wanted to change my major, but to what I had not known. Going into my junior year, I was afraid my time was running out. My whole life changed when my counselor asked me,” Spanish 3 or AP Psychology?”. Having already taken two years of spanish, I opted to take the AP class. I was immediately intrigued in the subject. I went to class everyday eager to learn. I liked psychology so much because it was easily applicable to real life. I would identify things I had learned in class in and have

Entering community college with little programming experience, I was eager to learn. I registered for my first programming class excited, with a fresh mind. My professor introduced the class to our first program, "Hello World." Instantly, I was hooked. As I uncovered the complexities of problem-solving and the importance of proper syntax, my love grew stronger. Eventually, with experience in C++ and JAVA, another professor presented a life changing opportunity to me.

Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, at this point in my life, is critical. It’s the goal I’ve set for myself and it’s the goal I’m going to achieve. Yes, my parents wanting me to study Engineering is a big part of why I chose the major, but it also has a lot to do with my interests. I’ve been in a specialized program since I entered the Performing and Visual Arts Magnet program (PVA) in sixth grade as a Vocal major. Many of my peers dropped out of the course, deeming it too rigorous, but I stuck with it because that was my goal. Then, when I started high school, I became a Theatre major and stuck through another four years of long days, many classes, and nighttime rehearsals all because it was merely what I expected of myself. Now that I’m in college and studying Engineering, nothing has changed. I am still just as dedicated to my studies as I have always been, but now I’m able to study something that has always intrigued me. Engineering piqued my interest and my love for math and science led me to the objective I’ve set for myself. I have my end goal and I will achieve a Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

My father was a mechanical engineer who loved what he did. He would come home with hard drives in his hand and tinker with them as he tried to find ways to make them more efficient. He would show me the miniscule parts that he designed and how they worked. These experiences were not lost on me, as they led me to grow an interest in the sciences and in engineering. Although the interest was there, the motivation was usually absent. His passing lit a fire in me. Rather than giving up, I used his love, and my interest, to pursue my own career in engineering. My renewed love for the sciences and math gave me a new purpose. I focused more on school, especially in Chemistry, Physics, and Math, and worked harder to improve my grades. My goal of acquiring a chemical engineering degree allowed me to shift my focus from my father to my future. Looking back, I realize now that had it not been for my love of engineering, I never would have been able to overcome the obstacle of my father’s death, and I never would have found my true

Throughout my educational journey, I constantly hone my knowledge in computer science. There is not a day where I did not polish my skills.

When deciding what to do with the rest of your life there are tons to consider. Where to arrive, what is ultimately enjoyable, and will all the time and effort be worth it? One of the finest questions that beg an answer is that of enjoying oneself. A career is not a short-term commitment; it is something that one will partake in for much of their life. Therefore, while making the decision of what to do with the rest of my young life, what is most enjoyable was on the mind. Math and science have always been the easy answer to that question. Most of the classes I took in high school involved math or science in a certain way including advanced placement level courses. Overall it made the highest sense to pursue a field of engineering.

Computer engineering is a very extensive, challenging career. To become a computer engineer you need years of experience and college education. Many people think this career is easy and good paying, but is not that easy, excessive amount of knowledge is needed to become a top class engineer in this field, but that doesn’t mean it is an impossible task. One must understand that computer engineering is a challenge since before one begins studying it. With that kept in mind an undergraduate must know their qualifications, training, job duties and drawbacks, salary, hours, work calendar and employment in order to become a Computer Engineer.

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

I have majored in Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISE) for one and a half years at Virginia Tech. My passion for ISE originated from my undergraduate studies. I achieved GPA 91/100 and ranked 1/66 when I graduated from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics (NUAA), one of China 's top 3 universities offering the Industrial Engineering program.

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.

My interest towards mathematics made me to take Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as the main subjects during my intermediate (10+2). After obtaining 94% marks in Intermediate and securing a top 6% rank in engineering entrance test, I opted for Computer Science Engineering in JNTU College of Engineering. Immediately after my Bachelor’s degree, I secured the job in Wipro Technologies and this offered me numerous opportunities to learn about the technical aspects of Software industry.
