Personal Statement On Computer Science

I believe engineering is the path to a better world. My interest in engineering really took hold when I joined the FIRST Robotics Club (Tractor Technicians) as a Sophomore and made the drive team: a drive team consists of four teammates who represent their club on the competition floor. We built, programmed, and tested our robot for months. The most incredible part of this experience was witnessing a single hand on a keyboard control our entire robot that I helped build. The intensity of the competition can be compared to that of a soccer game. However, instead of sprinting and kicking, we use our minds and engineering principles to analyze the situation and fix or improve issues that present themselves. Similarly, I would like to apply this trouble shooting mentality to more important issues. After robotics, I took the initiative to pursue an online computer science class. This class has proven to be more challenging than I anticipated, however, the growth I have seen in myself is exceptional. This rewarding experience has increased my interest in the field of engineering. I have also taken the opportunity to get real-world experience through a work study program in the IT/IS department on Kwajalein. I assist technicians in the field as we repair and replace computers and printers. These experiences and relationships have widened my perspective of the engineering and technology

Because of the people I chose to surround myself around, I found myself wanting to go into the field of engineering. My friends knew I had a passion for math and they suggested engineering as an occupation I should look into. As of result of that, I found myself getting into more hands-on projects in my last two years of high school, as well as taking an engineering focused course in high school to try it out. I fell in love with the career path and since then, I aspire to become an

Selecting a college major is an important decision, and it is not one that should be made lightly. It is important to remember, however, that declaring a major is not an irreversible decision. It is not uncommon for college students to change majors one or more times after they enroll in college. Sometimes, you need time, research, and reflection before you can choose a college major. Setting college goals can help you, as can understanding different college majors and how they can move you closer to your goals. Do your research, keep an open mind, and be honest with yourself, and you can choose a college major that

Everyone who decides to enroll in college must, at some point, think about what area they want to major in. There are many things that students consider when choosing a major. Some make their decision based on what they think can make them the most money once they begin their lives in the work force. However, many students believe that if you choose a major that interests you and challenges you then you can use those skills that can help you in any career. (R. Landrum & S. Davis, 2014) Let’s face it. Employers know that when they hire someone straight out of college they are not immediately going to know

A big concern in todays’ world for graduating college students is being able to find a job right out of school. More times than not, there are many problems that occur when a student chooses a specific career path. In the short exert “Why Focusing Too Narrowly In College Could Backfire”, written by Peter Cappelli, he discusses in his opinion, as well as many others, the right path students should be taking. The lead way students should be following to secure they get a job in a field they will enjoy. Many students have trouble picking a college to go to let alone what major they want to focus on. Students are told to pick a major and start taking the classes for it as soon as possible without realizing they might not even enjoy that field of work. There are many struggles in college with picking the correct classes and

There are many majors out there and tons to choose from. Many students in high school by now have an idea on what they’re interested on becoming. So far, I have no clue on what I want to study, but I do have a picture of it. Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make in your life. Because of that you have to choose very carefully and make sure whatever you choose will suite you. Whether it’s from engineering or going into the medical field, they all take time. Here I have chosen 5 careers that I myself am very interested on studying after high school.

Career Tech will provide me with an environment of friends that are dedicated to the same level of education I am. Career tech meets my family’s standards. It provides a way for me to get a great academic foundation and continue playing for Wasilla Warriors basketball team. I believe Career Tech will boost me into my future and my road to college.

However, tech-oriented industries still need people with liberal arts experience to create, develop, and sell their products. With new advances in computer technology, tech companies don’t need as many programmers. What they are focusing on now is making the product more visually appealing and user-friendly, both of which are tasks commonly allotted to people with a liberal arts background. Improving the communication capabilities and visual features of widely-used apps is more practical in today’s society than calculating the new highest prime number, though there is beauty in that as well. According to Forbes Magazine, only approximately thirty percent of Silicon Valley hirees actually get jobs in software engineering. The other seventy percent are involved in a myriad of roles ranging from sales to administration to software interface. Silicon Valley is not an exclusively tech industry; today, liberal arts are just as important a part of this innovative

It wasn’t just this interest that made me decide engineering was right for me. I wanted to help people through something I was good at. Since I was about ten I’ve helped take care of my grandmother and after that my grandfather, and it became a big part of my life. I truly did love helping them and being able to make their lives easier. I loved it so much in fact, in my junior year I started volunteering at an assisted living community. Engineering allows me to funnel this compassion of helping others into my work through a subject matter I

The reason I chose the field that I am in today, is because when I was in high school I had no idea what I wanted to be. I just wanted out of my normal classes and found a way to do so. At my High school we had a career center and none of the programs caught my eye until it I saw computer maintenance. I went in with the mindset that this course was going to just be another easy typing class, but on our first day our instructor clearly told us that this is going to be the hardest class you will ever take in high school and that if you were here to goof off you got two weeks to change classes. Within those two weeks we went over course safety and our syllabus. The course caught my attention I really wanted to see what it had to offer and

I would like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to write my desired future based Master Program in Software Engineering. I feel that a higher education for Masters enable me to approach to the most recent technologies and to practice myself in a competitive environment and learn more skills in the field of Software Engineering.

Computer Science, Software Engineering and Information Systems are international qualifications, enabling people to work globally, and in a very broad variety of roles. There is steady growth in demand for technically adept and flexible IT graduates. Declining student enrollment, while growth continues in law, medicine, biology, economics, and business; the decline among women is particularly alarming (Klawe and Shneiderman 27). Computer science is now a part of everyone’s daily life through the innovations and technologies it enables. From transforming health care to enabling a more robust national defense, computer science is on the forefront of discovery, driving economic growth and transforming our

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.

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.

Becoming a computer programmer would be great because there are many options in this career by having the ability to produce an operating system, or a game for the world. Computer programmers have many opportunities in life to find a job they would love. Programmers can work independently, or in a big company. Programmers have and are creating the future for computers.
