Statement of Purpose___________________________________________
‘Learning is a process that begins in the cradle and ends in the grave’
I believe in the above quotes which motivates me to strive to learn more each day of my life, to expand the horizons of my knowledge with each passing moment.
Through this statement I take the opportunity to explain how my interest for computers grew, making me to take up research in Computer Networks for higher studies in a distinguished university. From my childhood I was very curious how all the technological products worked & was inquisitive to know about their working in detail. It was in my 6th grade that I first saw a computer. All I knew then was that a computer is a machine which takes input and gives output, I never knew it was more than that. From then I tried to know as much as I can about the computer. By the time I finished my 10th grade I got a chance to open up an Intel-486 and see what went into a computer. When I first knew about the working of

I kept updating myself about the improvements in computer technology. I read a number of magazines through which I learnt more about computers and the present day wonder machines. While in my secondary school, I also learnt how to assemble a computer & started to learn the other aspects of computer hardware. Slowly, operations like formatting and installing operating systems and tweaking computer configurations became my favorite activity. I started to learn more about the computer, a little, using trail & error and a little by reading books. Very soon, all my friends and relatives frequently approached me for troubleshooting their computers. When it was time for me to do my undergraduate program, it wasn’t difficult to choose computer sciences as my stream of
Hence upon completion of my 12th grade, I took up Computer Science and Engineering at the Sriguru Institute of Technology, India affiliated to Anna University which provided me the perfect platform for achieving academic excellence. In the course of my Undergraduation, my area of interest is C, Java, Computer Networks, Data Mining and Web Technologies. Studying aforementioned courses made my journey very interesting. Programming languages have given me the milieu to put theory into practice and have helped me keep my logical skills sharp and limpid. I did not limit myself to classroom learning but also explored various online courses. In this regard, I did several
I became interested in computers during the early 1990s and it happened right in my house. Within my community no one really knew what a "programmer" was or how to become one. At first, programmers were the engineers the circuits and processors. In April 1990, I volunteered to help my brother, a Computer Information Systems major at UTPA, to program the IBM-1401. I was 13-years old, had graduated from high school five years later, and decided to study the field of computers, specifically information technology (IT). In today’s high-tech world, virtually every business needs computer networking professionals to set up and maintain an in-office network (Irvine, 2011). This includes a variety of tasks such as engineering the network infrastructure, administering Windows systems and maintaining an email system (Irvine, 2011).
Every human has a purpose and every purpose has an ordained path and beginning. My interest in computer science came to light as soon as I began to walk, talk and think independently. I always had the innate passion and desire to scrutinize electronic devices even though I was still a child with little understanding. Being a little kid, my access to computers were constrained, but nonetheless, I made the best out of every opportunity I had with them. Time flew by like a dove as I suddenly began to grow in wisdom, and also began to understand what life is all about. Immediately I graduated from high school, I applied for a 3-month full-time computer training before making any preparation for college. Unbeknownst to me, I was actually on a direct path to discovering my true potential in computer science and engineering. Financially and physically, it was a burden commuting from my home down to the computer training center, but the intrinsic passion and desire to get my hands on electronic devices and to learn more about how computers really work made me overlook the struggle. I did not think twice while applying for Computer Engineering in the university, as I already had a clear glimpse of my future
We have seen how computer sciences and technology have grown at an exponential rate, having slow progress at the beginning, throughout the 19th century and the 20th century, when technology was implemented individually by some companies that had the means, tools, and knowledge to do it. With the appearance of the internet by the early 90's, everything skyrocketed. Due to the availability of information, every growing industry got linked to the biggest inner network "internet", bringing new tools, knowledge, and resources to the rest of the world. It did not stop there, some of the biggest implementations took place in the vehicles we used for transportation, in which were implemented automatized systems to enhance performance and safety, clean power sources began to be used in big scales, such as solar panels and energy storage, communications were transformed from a wired network to a wireless
I have always been into computers and interested in learning about them, and I have decided to make a career out of it. Up to this point my knowledge of computers is pretty
The excitement of the fast-paced technology world peaked my interest throughout my high school career. As a member of my high school’s FIRST Robotics Club, designing and creating the desired motion of our robot was an eye-opening experience. After my involvement in robotics, I took it upon myself to register for an online AP Computer Science Class and to take advantage of a work study program with the information technology department. I strive to gain a knowledge base that will allow me to be a leader in the forefront of technological advancement: taking risks, improving lives, and changing the world.
I am a very hard-working, diverse, determined and honest person. I think one of my most distinguishing characteristics is my curiosity for learning new things and that is what led me to the field of Data Science. I first came across Data Science while doing research for building an Email Spam Detection application using machine learning for my college project. I was truly captivated with the way machine learning worked especially with its implementation in fields ranging from spam detection in emails to giving recommendations for music and products on sites like YouTube and Amazon, and also used in the areas of finance and healthcare. Since then, I am fixated on gaining more knowledge about the concepts of machine learning and data science in general. I intend on enrolling in Master's in Big Data at the University Of Stirling to pursue a successful career as a Data Scientist.
As my eighth birthday was approaching, I knew exactly what I wanted: A personal computer. I didn’t know nearly all of the functionality of such an apparatus at the time; in fact, my young mind probably thought of scribbling rabbits on Microsoft Paint as its primary reason for existence. As I grew up, I figured out the elusive device was not only analogous with entertainment, but it somehow also served to assist my parents at their jobs. To the juvenile version of me, this was fascinating - somehow, I wanted to traverse the vistas of possibilities that this technology offered. Even today, as I alternate between Skype calls and schoolwork on my laptop, I am still beguiled by the capabilities of computers. If technology could be this awe-inspiring, why couldn’t even I learn about its uses and utilize it for the benefit of the greater good? I knew from day one that I wanted to help people, but being able to culminate this desire with my own curiosity of the potential of computer science has influenced my academic choices and will continue to do so when I attend college.
I many times ask myself how I got to know about computer and every time a scene always flashes in my head. A 5 years old kid, asking his mom what was she doing with a big machine that shaped like a box, she told him it was a computer. Since that moment, he built up his curiosity about the strange thing called 'the computer', “What is a computer? What is use for? Can I eat it?”, he asked too much, up to the point his mom was annoyed everyday and one day she had to spend a whole day trying to explain him. Instantly, he felt his life is meant for this machine. Back when I was young, I only know some use of my mom’s computer such as reading news, playing simple games and watch videos. Though my mom did not want me to use the computer too many times in a day cause she afraid I will get addicted to it, I still had my way to stealthily use it (Honestly, now I start to think that I might use computer too much). Then, the time when I reached 8th grade, the time that has really changed my perspective. Every 8th grader in Vietnam has to take a computer science class and finishes it with an average score at least 6.5.It was quite easy at first because I have already had some basic knowledge of computer; moreover, my computer science teacher was great, he taught me many wonderful things that blew up my mind. He taught us about how important it is to have a computer and how it helps us in our daily lives. Fascinated by his
As I went through the assigned reading, I was scared to find an incredible amount of previously unknown information. I felt like I should have a firm grasp on the history of computer science. Then I took a tangent path into electrical and mechanical engineering as I learned about transistors and capacitors.
After going over all of the options that have been placed before me, I have finally decided to pursue a career in computers. I have been raised in the era when computers were making their first appearance in people’s homes. When I was a very small child, I started exploring the
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.
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.
As a kid I have always been curious about “How things work?”, the thing could may be as simple as dynamo attached to a bicycle or something more complex as working of elevators. As a result, I took admission for higher secondary education at S.P. College, Pune with Electronics as a subject. S. P. College is one of the reputed colleges in Pune. It is known for providing excellent research environment to students by providing exceptional laboratories. Taking Electronics as a subject got me started at very basics of computers. I studied different semiconductor devices, learning ROM, DROM and eventually different chips in the process. Also in the final year of my junior college, we were taught assembly language. I was very much fascinated by the device programming. My interest was clearly reflected in my
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.
