I first discovered my passion for computers in 1999, when we bought our first household PC. I remember sitting down on occasions waiting for Windows 98 to boot up and the dialup modem to connect to the internet. Although this almost now seems primitive, that technology caused my enthusiasm to understand the inside workings of computers to spark. Since then, I have striven to broaden my knowledge and skills in this area in any way possible.
The world of technology has always intrigued me, from the operation of microprocessors to the complex programming behind hardware and software. My desire to understand how these function has led to my intention to undertake a course in Computer Science, and I have taken every available opportunity

This extra knowledge will give me a strong foundation to build upon in higher education.
I was invited by my college to attend a Computer Science experience day at Loughborough University earlier this year. Seeing some of the final year student’s projects was a fascinating insight into this world at higher education and reassured my decision to apply. In addition to this, I was invited to participate in a project with Fisher Scientific UK, which involved designing and planning a stand to be hosted by a group of twelve students at Science World 2013. My role within the group was Events Management – planning and enforcing timescales for the project.
Another interest of mine is aviation. For the last five years, I have been a keen member of the Air Training Corps and am now at the top rank of Cadet Warrant Officer. During my time as a cadet, I have completed several qualifications, including two BTECs and a Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award as well as developing many valuable skills, such as team working, leadership, communication and self-discipline. These skills will be very beneficial to me throughout my time at university, especially during team and individual project stages. Following my recent promotion, I was invited to assist with cadet aimed courses run by South and East Midlands Wing at RAF Wittering, an opportunity presented to only two cadets in the covering area. I plan to complete my Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award, along with an ILM qualification and a Gliding
I have been fascinated by computers since I was seven. That’s when I first attended a Take Your Child to Work Day with my dad, a software engineer. I begged him to teach me how to program. He began by teaching me BASIC on an original IBM PC, and I eventually taught myself C++, Java, Python, and more.
Moving ahead to the middle of this course has me feeling confident in my ability to define computer terms in various business situations. In addition to this, the INFT124 class also helps me remember the names of basic computer parts and it also helps me competently explain how computers function. These activities also help me advance my computer knowledge, experience and competencies so I know how to complete challenging academic tasks.
Last year I was fortunate enough to enjoy the Inspire Course in the Coventry university: as implied, the course was truly inspiring, and even though there
My studies in computer studies over the past few days had me discontented in the beginning and joyous with a shared determination by Saturday afternoon. I opened the learning guide for the weeks working session starting June 25 and ending July 1st for a quick glance of the topics and the requirements for successfully completing this unit work. From the onset, when I viewed the assignment, I asked myself what made me choose this course so early. I began doubting myself and my true potential without reading the full details and the literature associated with it. Off course this will not help me complete this assignment.
My many years of being involved in student council exposed me to discover my passion for event planning, as well as my area for improvement
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.
On May 27, 2011, I sat in the crowd of thousands of people waiting to see the cheer from the football field. No, this wasn’t a professional football game, or even a college game. This was the graduation and commissioning of 1000 men and women from the United States Naval Academy. As the covers of all the former midshipmen went into the air, and the crowd went wild, I stood in awe, speechless. Even as an 11 year old boy, I knew that I wanted to be that young man standing on the ten yard line, in an immaculate white uniform, jumping up and down and hugging his buddy next to him. As I read stories and biographies of men like Marcus Luttrell and Chris Kyle, some of the most courageous men in the world, I realized my calling in life. I was to be an officer in the United States Navy.

A career as Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologist has allowed me to see the effects of drugs on the people who take them. Working with patients who have all types of diseases, are on many types or have tried many types of therapies, and are frequently involved in a drug trial as given me another view of the drug development process. The world of pharmaceuticals fascinates me and my work so far has ignited a desire to acquire additional skills that will allow a deeper involvement in clinical studies. After over ten years of working in a hospital setting using imaging drugs I transitioned into a career working for a company that manufactured these drugs. It was during this time that I learned about the interactions of drugs and different types
This will be my third attempt at entering the Computer Science major, but since my last two attempts I have worked to make my application more competitive. In particular, since my last attempt in February I have raised my grade point average in mathematics and physics as well as for my overall coursework at the University of Washington. I have also completed all of the General Education requirements except for foreign language, which I am completing over summer quarter. This means, that starting next autumn I can focus my efforts on completing the requirements for whatever major(s) I end up working toward. The most important thing that’s changed since my last application, though, is that I have been accepted into the Applied and Computational Mathematical Sciences major in the Discrete Mathematics and Algorithms option; as such I intend to double major with both that and Computer Science.
At the beginning of my computer information course I was presented with challenge of writing a research paper. We were given several topics to choose from and I chose the topic of careers in information technology. The focus will be on the computer support specialist, the database administrator, the network and computer systems administrator, the computer, office machine and automated teller technician, the programmer, the software engineer, the cryptographer, the computer trainer, and the desktop publisher. I will explore what each profession is, the duties, the work environment,
A passion to achieve expertise in Information Systems Management is the objectives to my Graduate Study. It would help hone my skills, earn proficiency and seek professional exposure. A graduate course would pave way to earning hands-on experience and acquire specialization in the desired field of study.
My major has gradually revealed the fundamental disciplines and inherent architectures as well as systems of the computer and how to learn programming in the past several
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.
There are very many types of information systems. Classification of information systems follows the organizational levels in which they are used or installed for use. For instance, there are management information systems; some of which will be covered in this project report. Management information systems (MIS), helps businesses meet their business objectives. Almost all organizations and businesses today use management information systems; be it large, small, startup or an established multi-national. This is for the sole reason that information systems have evolved from just being a tool to gain competitive advantage for businesses, to a vital tool, a necessity in the digital age we live in. Management Information Systems help managers make better-informed decisions and communicate with their superiors, as well as with all the stakeholders in the businesses their organizations are involved in.
