Statement of Purpose Shoba Iyer “The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it”. Mark Weiser, 1991 “The Computer for the 21st Century” Scientific American Technology is ubiquitous in our lives today and has been so for the past century. Surrounded by software, we depend on it for the functioning of our daily tasks. Simplicity and quick response to user queries help enhance the consumer experience. I have always been passionate about software and its design principles. I have an innate curiosity to find what makes software efficient, easy to use and scalable. My interest lies in the field of pervasive computing, developing software that enhances lives through the power of both large scale industrial applications and small scale mobile applications. I have had an interest in programming since an early age, and I truly developed a passion for the field during my studies at the University of Mumbai for Bachelors of Engineering in Information Technology. I gained a solid foundation by learning different concepts in Algorithms and Math. Learning concepts in courses like Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality Systems and Programming for mobile devices helped me truly develop a passion for technology. But the course that truly …show more content…
I believe that my passion for Computer Science, my certifications and a strong academic background will provide impetus for my graduate studies and research. Attending your prestigious institution would give me an opportunity to receive high-level education under the guidance of prominent professors and teachers. I would regard my admission to Clemson University not only as an honor but also a great stepping stone for my
Clemson University has always been special because of the opportunities it has given to me and my family. Giving my father and uncle to play on the football team that went on to win a national championship, as well as a college education makes me feel thankful because without a full scholarship, they would not afford college. Being named after the mascot, my connection to the university was apparent at birth. Clemson has given members of my family opportunities and I feel like Clemson can give me opportunities as well. My future plans in life include attending medical or law school to pursue a degree in one of those two fields. The academic programs that Clemson offers will best prepare for my future goals. Having advanced research and degree
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.
Technology, an indispensable necessity to most people’s life just as air, food and water did. The amount of its advantages, which change our life into a better one, is enough to prove its own value. Technology penetration has been grown fast than a few decades back. It has become one of the commodities in our lives, however it can as well be an invasion on personal space (John Thackara, 2006: 3).
‘Learning is like a ripple in the waters of an endless ocean’. This is one of my
Technology as a crucial part of our daily lives: Since last few decades technology has shifted and transitioned hugely over our daily lives as a crucial part. In the present age everything we do is directly or indirectly connected to any kind of technological functions. If we will not keep ourselves in check, the impact
of the quality of education that is available, and this has especially motivated me to pursue a
I chose Mechanical Engineering as my undergraduate degree for my love of machines. The vast and versatile syllabi of engineering strongly developed my conceptual understanding of the subjects but I still had the feeling of something incomplete. In the third year of my studies, we had a subject called Computer Oriented Numerical Methods, which used programming to solve mathematical programs using MATLAB. I was surprised by the pace of which I picked up programming concepts and applied it to solve equations. I had the highest grades in the subject and this is when I found my missing piece of the puzzle i.e. programming. I was exposed to a completely new
There are countless reasons why technology is a key aspect of learning in the schools. Whether we like it or not, technology is everywhere and in order for us to survive in post-secondary education and the business world, we must know technology which drives me to understand the complexity hidden behind it and learn more and more which takes me a step closer to the audacity drawn on the verge of innovation.
To me, language is not only a medium of communication, but it is also a mean people use to express their identity and culture. Learning language in any of the aspects and contexts can be advantageous and it can give productive contributions to learning, teaching, and researching on language and linguistics. If anyone asks about the relationship between a language and me, I can say that I see myself in three different positions: a language learner, a language teacher, and a language researcher.
“Ambition is the first step to success. The second step is action” Always being motivated by this thought cultivated my interest to take Information technology as my major in my graduate studies as I originated from a business oriented family and wanted to bring technology in combination to my current family business in order to sustain in the competitive market. Being addicted to excellence, I believe a good career can only be built above the firm foundation of a good education. Above all, it would be a real benediction to be able to learn under the guidance of the professors at University of Cincinnati. Possessing excellent analytical and interpersonal skills, I am enthusiastic about the next phase of my life,I also hope and believe that I would be able to contribute to the University as well as build a great career ahead.
Studying at University of Virginia was my first time living by myself in a foreign country. Turning to math seemed an easy choice for me because I had been passionate about math since elementary school. I started to learn Olympic Mathematics in second grade and enjoyed the challenging topics. I was soon able to learn by myself with the help of training in logical thinking. When I was forced to stay at home for a whole school year due to a heart problem, I read the textbooks on my own and passed the final exams so that I could continue with my class the next year. In fifth grade, I was able to understand abstract concepts such as linear equations and use x and y to represent unknown variables. Winning numerous Olympic Mathematics competitions awards got me into the best middle school and high school in Beijing, where I continued to pursue my affection in Olympic Mathematics. I received the medals of school winner and honor roll of distinction in AMC 12 and went further to AIME due to my outstanding
There is an old paradigm that says, "To stay where you are, keep running". Today I realize how true it is because unless we keep track of the changes and advances being made we will be considered pariah. As I stand at the threshold of completing my undergraduate study, after carefully contemplating the various career options open to me I have decided to go in for graduate study that calls for personal commitment in fulfilling the crafts of independent research and dedicated involvement. In turn, I shall get intellectual satisfaction and gratification of becoming a contributor of knowledge with research, and the greater personal rewards of memory and discovery. Now, on the verge of completion of my Under-Graduate Studies, I realize that my present knowledge would not suffice. I feel that unless one is erudite in his field, one cannot be fully satisfied.
Data science, as an illustrious application in Statistics, is my direction in career. The four-year study in applied math motivates me to take the challenge of pursuing a master's degree in statistics. In addition, my aspiration to become a professional data analyst also gives the graduate study an absolute necessity.
The evolution of technology has made the life easier .However, the complete result can be achieved only when technology is made the best use of it.Technology is not only used in the IT industries but, it has become the part and parcel of everybody’s life. In 21st century, this can be realized through the way we are using technology. We have mobile applications which is almost able to do everything that we ask for. We can pay our bills online, book a flight ticket, take online classes anywhere in the world, talk to friends and family from long distances etc.
Basic courses like Computer Programming, Principle of Programming Language, Object Oriented Programming laid the foundation for me to cultivate an advanced knowledge in the field. Having a strong foundation helped me in coping up with highly technical and challenging courses such as Computer Architecture, Compiler Construction and so on.
