My Statement of Purpose: VLSI Technology

There are so many reasons why I want to attend Applied Technology. The first being that it suits my style of learning (hands on) and stimulates my mind with endless possibilities. This program seems to offer so much. Working with drones, rockets and 3D printers would be the opportunity of a lifetime.

I am submitting my credentials for admission to the Ph.D. program in Organizational Behavior at Purdue University because I want to pursue a career in teaching and organizational consulting. To be more specific, I am interested in studying the factors that influence employee motivation, employee productivity in different environments and the effects of layoffs on employee motivation. In order to better understand these issues, it is extremely essential for me to have a strong command of various areas of organizational theory, psychology as well as management principles.

I am Andrew Soebagio, from Indonesia. I’ve been a student at North for about a year and a half now. I’m planning to graduate from North this upcoming fall, with an AS degree. A major that I have in mind is Petroleum Engineering; hopefully this plan will stick with me till I graduate.

VMI is one of the greatest educational institutions in the United States. It’s heritage and traditions are vastly different than your regular college venues. I am interested in attending VMI because it’s a college that presents different challenges that I am willing to embrace. VMI’s academic structure is fantastic, and I look forward to being in a challenging environment where leadership training will help me navigate in the real world.

I am dedicated to my work and once I start something I do my absolute best to finish it on time and right the first time. I am enthusiastic and willing to learn new things and is able to adapt to new stations and people if needed. I also have excellent communication skills with peers around me which is helpful because you need to be able to talk to people effectively so they can understand what you need them to do or what they need you to do. I am familiar with some programs used to code like Khan academy , Scratch , and App Inventor (grade 10) and used them with great efficiency knowledge and skill. In Grade 9 I took Comm-Tech which deals with Photoshop and video editing and also used them effectively. My passion for being game designer /

Though I have varied interests, ranging from Linux to microbiology, my focus is now on engineering. This interest in engineering started out from a young age. As any other “stereotypical nerd,” I often disassembled anything that I could put my hands on, be it an RC car or my dad’s TI-8250 printing desk calculator. Later in my educational career however, I realized that I could pursue a profession following my curiosity and love of math and science. To begin this pursuit, I applied to Texas A&M for a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Why would you like to attend the Governor's School of Engineering &Technology? What do you hope to gain from and contribute to the program? Be sure to tell us about your interests in engineering and technology, how they've developed, and any steps you have taken to explore these disciplines. Though I’ve always picked engineering as my top career choice, I developed interests in software engineering when I started learning programming in middle school through MOOCs.

Personally for me, Governor’s School of Engineering is a chance to broaden my horizons even more in the STEM field. I want to experience the rigor and depth of the college level courses I will be taking in the near future. Above all, I am so looking forward to meeting like-minded people and working with students from diverse backgrounds from all around the state. Additionally, all of my experiences in STEM outside of academic courses so far have involved a significant amount of teamwork. Truly, an environment I thrive in and this is one of the main reasons I am drawn to the field of science and engineering with it’s emphasis on project based learning and team work.

A career that both intrigues me and has qualities I desire is physical design engineering. A physical design engineer is responsible for building a portion of a computer chip. The engineer’s job revolves around placing and routing components of a chip. During the placement portion of the building of a chip, the engineering team must figure out the most effective way to place the components of a chip and properly route the wires into the proper locations. After an engineer properly routes the wires, a physical design engineer transforms the design into a blueprint. Blueprints are essential to the development of a chip. Without blueprints, the cost of producing a finalized chip would be much higher. A physical design engineer is must interact with other engineering teams to propose designs and solve problems. Interacting with other engineering teams will speed up the process of making a

I have pursued my education so far in Electronic & Communication Engineering. Since Electronic & Communication Engineering has both electronics and computer subjects I had an opportunity to get to know about hardware and software. Computers and their applications interest me. Whatever I did on the academic and professional front, it carried a flavor of Computers all through. I feel proficiency in Computers is only the remaining thing that has been left out in my journey with areas of study so far. So this stands out as the obvious choice for me now to indulging totally in Computers. Since I’m working as an software engineer teaching and figuring out a new solution in computers application intersect me, but that interest does not stop on computers development applications. It extends to begin a research on Artificial Intelligence. I have always been very strong in the area of computers and Electrical. From hardware to software I have natural inclination to understanding and scripting for the computers applications.

Choosing to learn software engineering was fortuitous for me when I had to select a profession several years ago. As I studied software engineering more deeply, I began to realize technologies related not only are very interesting but also have permeated into many fields. After experiencing undergraduate education for four years and graduate education for less than one year, I am extremely desperate for an occasion to further improve my cognition and practical ability in computing science. Your prestigious program is absolutely an excellent platform to make my dream come true.

Regrettably the above slogan perfectly suits the present condition of healthcare in my country. An endeavor to bring about a change is the prime motive for me in aspiring to be a Public Health Professional.

My decision to undertake a master’s degree stems from my aspiration to have greater knowledge about Computer Science, an avid interest in the field of Software Engineering and a stimulating research environment present at the University of Pennsylvania. By pursuing a graduate degree, I will be able to strengthen my knowledge base and also further my career prospects.

At an early age I had an affinity for understanding how various elements of a system interacted with each other, in addition to understanding how the components of computer systems could be redesigned to increase performance and compatibility across other systems. This area fascinated me and I quickly started studying how integrated components could be made part of broader embedded
