Computers are a major part of our lives in society today. They are used to do almost everything from typing essays to reading books to watching movies these days. Technology makes our lives so much easier by providing us a way to communicate with people anywhere in the world, allowing us to send emails faster than ever before, watch movies online and to store documents on storage media such as hard drives and flash drives. But many people do not know what goes on behind the scene to manufacture this useful technology. My goal is to go behind the scenes and understand how this process works. Due to this reason, I want to become a computer engineer to make computers better and faster for future generations. An area that has really helped me to reach my goal is academics. Throughout high school, I have taken some dual credit and AP classes and other classes that will help to be successful in achieving my goal. Since these classes have a more rigorous curriculum, they require a lot of hard work to be successful. By taking these classes, I have been able to improve my abilities both in school and outside of school. Some of the classes that have most helpful for reaching my goals include Principles of Information Technology, Programming 1 and 2, Computer Maintenance, Telecom and Networking and this year, I am taking Problems and Solutions in Information technology as a Senior. Ever since I was in elementary school, I have been very interested in computers because I love the
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 /
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
The first of the goals I have is to get the certifications offered junior year, TestOut PC Pro and CompTIA A+, I have already finished the TestOut PC Pro certification and am waiting to take the CompTIA A+ certification exam in the spring. My next goal is to get the certifications offered senior year in the cybersecurity program in ITA, TestOut Network Pro and Security Pro, as well as CompTIA Network+, Security+, and Storage+. My third goal was to make friends with similar interests which I can definitely say was accomplished. My final and ongoing goal were to learn more about my career field and what’s involved in it which I have and am still
First of all hello, I’m currently a high school senior planning to attend college in the fall. Goals are described as an aim or a desired result, but they're more than that, they can change a person's life. A goal gives a person hope for the future. Right now I’m going to graduate from high school and the next huge step I’ll take is go to college. Continuing my education and becoming successful in my profession. Being able to cross off my goals one by one
Personal Statement: Twenty years of education have brought me a deep appreciation for the study of the Power systems, Controls systems and Telecommunication. When the time came to specialize, my decision to major in Electrical Power Engineering was motivated by the hope of achieving a strong opportunity of creativity, research, and development. Electrical Engineering, with its myriad sub-domains and multi-faceted nature is a natural amalgamation that allows me to express my creativity and innovative power to bring about works that offer benefits to society. The tools and aims may be different, but designing and developing software/hardware or devising a novel mathematical proof is relatable to the work of artists in their shared spirit of creating. I view my decision to study Electrical Engineering as a natural means of fulfilling my need to create since it equips me with tools for the job: the ability to devise, test and evaluate Power systems and the programming knowledge required to implement them.
Writing this paper, or should I say attempting to write this paper and again just to clarify attempting in my situation really just means staring mindlessly at the blue and white blank Word document has really got the gears turning in my head. What is something I am truly passionate about? What really has given me the feeling of purpose? So after countless hours of thinking, and eventually driving around letting the cool midnight breeze hit my face for motivation there it was. It hit me like a brick, literality there I found myself driving right past my high school and I knew exactly what to write about. Electronics, and before you starting getting any ideas I am not in love with my phone. I am talking about Electronics Engineering, for three out of the four years of my high school career I devoted my life to Electronics. Firstly, this made me into a critical thinker. Secondly this class allowed me to push my limits. Finally, most importantly this class showed me everyone has limits which I believe is an extremely important concept that most people do not understand.
It is my greatest honor to be a Boilermaker. When I graduated from high school and decided to study abroad, I did not hesitate choosing Purdue University as my first choice for its extraordinary reputation in quality of educating and academic researches. Indeed, the experiences in Lyles School of Civil Engineering of Purdue University was perfect: enjoying the safe campus, making new friends, taking great courses, meeting outstanding professors and participating a promising research. These will compete me, being the cornerstone of my career success. During these years, the curriculum of civil engineering was truly beneficial and constructed my entire knowledge of being a structural engineer: in CE474, Structural Analysis Ⅱ, I have been taught deeper to determine force equilibrium, moment, indeterminacy and deflection for a given structure using several methods, moment area, force method, virtual work method and MATLAB etc.; in CE473, Reinforced Concrete Design, I have learned how a concrete component should be reinforced, what the flexural and shear behaviors are, and how slabs and columns are supposed to be designed and in CE470, Steel Design, I have familiarized not only the correct use of AISC Code and SAP2000 software, but also the theoretical calculation in designing and checking typical steel components. Moreover, in order to explore further and wider in civil engineering as well as to enrich academic experiences, I had an internship at KanShe Architecture and
Throughout my life, my career plans have evolved based on knowledge that I gain through my academic life. When I first started my college career, I had a vision to become a Civil Engineer. I was mainly focused on going into water quality because I found the prospect of providing clean water to people very significant. Also, this area of study is an application of some chemistry knowledge which is a subject I thoroughly enjoyed. While water management is very interesting, I am in the process of deciding which direction of civil engineering suits me most as a career option. I am also interested in going into structural engineering because it is interesting to analyze the structural components of buildings and other structures. Both of these fields of studies will lead to careers in which I will have to think about environmental issues constantly.
In today’s age, most people have a smartphone or a tablet or a laptop or maybe a computer, but do they know how their phone or computer actually works? To most people, you just type away or press a button and then it magically does whatever you want it to do. However, there is more going on in a computer or a phone than just the simplicity of pressing a button. Better yet, who actually makes all this stuff? Who makes a computer or phone? Who designs these things? Who engineers all these technological appliances that so many people take for granted? Well, there is a specific career that specializes designing and engineering computers and computer parts. 1. Welcome to the realm of the computer hardware
What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals” - Henry David Thoreau.
Humans naturally tend to perceive large-scale mechanisms as a complex mess, but they are merely a combination of simple mechanical movements. Decomposition of a product architecture into its elementary building blocks has always fascinated me and the constant desire to work in the manufacturing and design field of leading industries was my driving potential to pursue mechanical engineering. Even though globalization and industrialization have changed today’s world drastically, the need for an efficient mechanical engineer is of utmost importance. I feel strengthening my knowledge and skills as a mechanical engineer is essential to become a part of this community and contribute towards the growing world, thus I have decided to undertake graduate studies.
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.
I am a college graduate in Computer Science aspiring to pursue masters, specializing in Human-Computer Interaction.
It is no doubt that Engineering plays a vital role in our society. This is magnified in a time when the world is faced with so many significant problems – climate change, population density - to name just two. It is for this reason that I am so excited about the prospect of studying Engineering, especially at the point of so many major advances in technology, in AI and nanomaterials for example. In the future, I hope to help to lead these advances and solve these problems.
My educational and career intentions include being successfully educated in the field of engineering. My mission is to pursue a professional engineering license, being able to flourish in whichever field I choose to go into. I aspire to have constant inspiration and acquirement of newly found knowledge in the job I am given outside of college. I have a passion for solving problems and discovering solutions. Receiving an outstanding and strong education in engineering will allow me to pursue and follow through with this passion. My grandfather was a Professional Civil Engineer who took me with him to various projects he was working on. He ignited my passion for civil engineering by showing me all the different aspects of engineering, the start up of projects, construction, to final roll outs and testings. I went with him on weekends as he had to check structural sites and bridges. It fascinated me. My grandfather motivated and inspired me "to work to the best of my ability and to keep my commitments." After, I obtain my civil engineering degree, I will strive to be like my grandfather who was a Professional Civil Engineer as the Superintendent of Streets and Sanitation for the City of Chicago. My grandfather has since passed. I loved my grandfather. Getting a civil engineering degree and professional license would not only make my dreams come true, but I know it would be honoring his legacy in the field of civil engineering.
