My Pursuit of Excellence
We live in a time where computers have become an inevitable part of our lives. The need to understand technologies and their influence on mankind is the talk of the time. Millions are being invested to design and research ways to enhance the user experience. This is where I would like to see myself, driving the web design revolution. Coming from the computer science academic background and currently working in a multinational firm ‘Mindtree Ltd.’ as a Senior Software Developer, I experience the dominance of technology every day. I have seen technology change drastically in front of me in a short span of time. This transformation is evident enough for me to realize the necessity to keep in touch with the changing time and be at the edge of the seat. Being a part of the information industry, I have come to a stage where the exigency of getting back to academics is unparalleled.
My entire life I have shunned mediocrity and instilled the same in my nature. Perfection is what I seek and expect nothing less from my work. This makes San Jose State University’s Software Engineering graduate program my decisive target.
A ravenous desire for software development juxtaposed with a ken of skilled programming, gave me the pathways for my undergrad studies, thus ultimately being the reason for the selection of Computer Engineering as the major stream for my engineering studies. The courses that most interested me during my undergraduate
About.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 22 Aug. 2011. . In the year 2008 there were 426,000 computer programmers employed. Computer programmers write the program the computer uses to function. The computer programmer follows the specifications given to them by the computer software engineer. Specialized knowledge and experience with a language or operating system could lead to a computer programmer becoming a computer software engineer. Programming skills and programming experience is highly valued in this field. Computer programmers must constantly update their skills to keep up with changing technology.

I did not limit myself to classroom learning but also explored various online courses. In this regard, I did several
Lastly, I have a desire to have a career as a software developer after I have completed my studies. This will ensure that I have learnt new possessions continuously and become aware of the updated technologies. After completing my degree, I would be provided the perfect platform to help me to excel in my career. Computer Science provides with self-assessments which allows the learner with options to work intellectually, therefore a course such as this, would be excellent.
Web Design is almost like an art. It is the design of information and services over the Internet. Luckily for businesses and customers the information and services provided are in done so through the World Wide Web (WWW). As I mentioned earlier Web design is a form of art, meaning that art and organization are needed to form customized Web pages to fit a particular business’ needs. Services for Web design can be accomplished in a variety of ways: professionally through a Web designer, created through hypertext mark-up language, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft FrontPage as well as other “What you see is what you get” {WYSIWYG) editors or languages.
The first reason I attend college is that I want to be a software engineer. Since, I have come to America, I started to like computers. Mostly, I’m interested in software, what’s inside the computer. I also can make a lot of money by becoming a software
In 1999, Tim Berners-Lee wrote Weaving the Web to chronicle the creation and purpose of his major invention—a revolutionary piece of engineering that reinvented the modern world itself: The World Wide Web. In his book, he explained “the Web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect—to help people work together—and not as a technical toy”. Berners-Lee went on to say “the ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world,” and then described how humans fall into groups, form bonds, and interact with each other. Ultimately, he believed that human interests are “representable and, increasingly, represented on the Web” (Berners-Lee 123). When Berners-Lee launched his invention, he intended that it be a new medium to assist human socialization—a new platform for people to build communities on the Internet. Twenty-five years after the advent of Web 2.0, referred to as The Social Web, this dream can be regarded as a
This selection is the perfect opportunity to learn a different language in the field of computer systems and programming. One who opens his mind to the design of software can explore the scientific way in which humans and computers interact. As a combination of graphic design and computer science, this program builds teamwork skills with other students while developing software and solving problems. Although the Computer Science Challenge’s essential lesson is programming, students can familiarize themselves with the secrets of the computer in preparation of careers that require no programming at
Web developers are responsible for designing, coding and modifying websites, from layout to function and according to a client's specifications. They need create appealing sites that feature user-friendly design and easy to navigate through.
Man, has forever tried to push the limits of his capabilities through technology and innovation. It is this struggle that has brought us to this era where a technological revolution continuously tries to reduce the struggles and complexity is his life or the life of other men. In many ways, I too have benefitted from the labors of other man. But now wish to play my part in the above transformation. Even though my work may be inconsequential in nature if it can help at least one other person other than myself I would be immensely delighted. To achieve the above objective I, choose Computer Science as my major as an undergraduate student at Florida Institute of Technology. Throughout my career as an undergraduate student I too have continuously challenged what I could do in my field and now. And now as I have ended my undergraduate studies, it is my central goal to continue my education in a more challenging and competitive environment. It is to serve the above purpose that I wish to apply to the Computer Science department at prestigious university to pursue a Master’s degree in Computer Science.
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.
During my four-year undergraduate course, the curriculum opened the doors to a treasure house of knowledge, and I found myself enticed by courses on Data Structures, Algorithms, and Object Oriented Programming. Also, being confronted by many algorithmic challenges during lectures and through my participation in coding, I realized the impact that a few lines of code could have in making our daily life smoother, and in helping us to manage our time and tasks in an efficient way. Interested in continuing my exploration of the application of Computer Science to solving problems, I set about creating a strong foundation in academics by investing hard work. Alongside
Throughout the vast selection of jobs within the Media and ICT sector the two that are vastly known and that I shall look into are a Graphic Designers work and the work of a web designer. Both jobs have similarities but yet both stretch out two different ways both having their own set of skills needed and having their different methods of working and planning.
At present we are in a technological and computing revolution that will severely change our lives and eventually readdress what it means to be a human. I am very galvanized at the prospect of devoting my career to such a dynamic, fast advancing field. From the time I was young, I loved dabbling with computers and experimenting with various applications. My lifetime has essentially coincided with the rise of modern computing industry, I can feel that there are still tremendous developments to come in this field. So I choose Computer Science as my university major, and now, as I am in the end of my undergraduate course, my central goal is to continue my education in a more competitive and international environment.
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.
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.
