Facial Recognition Personal Statement

I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering.

In the present contemporary era, facial recognition technologies are being installed by the companies in an extensive sense that surely reflects a continuum of growing hi-tech superiority and complexity. At the most ordinary level, facial detection is done by this technology which means that a photo is just detected and located for a face ("Facing Facts: Best Practices for Common Uses of Facial Recognition Technologies," 2012).

For me, to participate in the WAS program would be an inspiring and empowering experience. Engineering piqued my interest above other professions. It matters immensely to me because I want to make an impact, and engineering holds the power of making a difference. I’m eager to work with other talented people and be involved in bringing all the wonders of the future to reality. It’s amazing to know you’re contributing positively to society, and it’s important that I’m proud of my work.

I have driven hard towards the goal of education for 12 years, and now with graduation nearing, important decisions lie ahead. I wish to continue my pursuit of education in the field of engineering, more precisely, major in Civil Engineering. I have not yet chosen a school in which to attend, but I have given consideration to a variety of schools. After acquiring a bachelor’s degree, I intend to later gain my Professional Engineering

Throughout the semester I have faced many difficult and different challenges. One major challenge has been to be acting as a single parent again. Recently my husband left for another deployment which has left me alone to care for our children. It has become my sole responsibility to take care of our children and transport them to and from daycare. I also have to make sure I have childcare lined up if I pick up shifts at work. Another thing that has fallen on my shoulders is the responsibility of all of the housework. Instead of having my husband's help with cleaning and putting laundry away, I now have to rely on myself, which I hate. Another challenge I have faced this semester is getting back into a good school routine. When I left high school

I feel that I will be a strong candidate for the MaCS program due to my interest and previous studies in the subjects that are enriched in the MaCS program (math, science and English). I frequently work on grade 10-11 math and science. At the time of writing, I’m studying quadratic relations, and anatomy/ physiology.

I am an Engineer geek who is always looking how to mix the mathematical and scientific analysis with computational applications and tech tools to develop creative solutions that solve technological problems. I design, My two personal passions are: been a passionate curiosity person and seeking new challenges. To that end, ... and love practicing exercise classes or sports. I love swimming. I practice it since my 4 years old and have been part of the national team of my country.

Upon my visit at Texas A&M University at College Station I was intrigued by the unique traditions of the university. The campus itself was not like other big city campuses, it had its own zing. It is an open minded place and I aspire my mind to be opened to what is out there. College station is with today’s movements and they are moving forward. The school’s atmosphere is friendly and inviting, it is definitely somewhere I'd like to be. Accordingly, on the hand of my education, the engineering program is wonderful. I had met one of the professors while on my trip, she was an exceptional unique professor and within the two hours I was with her I had learned about physics in a way I would never forget. In the classroom I know I will do great

Facial recognition is a “one to many” process of searching a large database for individuals having similar features as the probe (Suspect). Facial Recognition is used as a “lead generator only” and should be considered as a tip only, it does not provide a positive identification of an individual. This is similar to inputting a latent print into the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) and having ten candidates returned, they are only similar in nature.

criminals more efficiently and accurately by comparing the data set of criminals with mugshot. Aging estimation is the process of determining the specific age or age range of a subject based on a facial image. Aging estimation can also be done using human perception ability but it is proved that computers ability to predict age is more accurate. Automatic age estimation has growing interest due to its applications in real life. However, despite advances in automatic age estimation, it remains a challenging problem. This is due to the face aging process is determined not only by intrinsic factors,

Facial recognition is a useful tool used to efficiently identify a person based on their

Bruce and Young’s theory of recognition tells us that human’s extract several kinds of information from faces; and that there are eight different components of such information. Such as structural encoding, expression analysis, facial speech analysis, directed visual processing, face recognition nodes,

Automatic face recognition has always been a major focus of research for a few decades, because of numerous practical applications where human identification is needed. Compared to other methods of identification (such as fingerprints, voice, footprint, or retina), face recognition has the advantage of its non-invasive and user friendly nature. Face images can be captured from a distance without interacting with the person, which is particularly beneficial for security and surveillance purposes. Furthermore, extra personal information, like gender, face expressions or age, can be obtained by further analyzing recognition results. Nowadays, face recognition technology has been widely applied to public security, person verification, Internet

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.
