Statement of Purpose for Computer Science

This is another reason to learn code. Many students want to grow up and make a lot of money. Also, coding is fun to learn and to apply to situations. Computers in Engineering has taught the students that coding could mean programming video games, running websites, being an IT guy at a school, or even working at places like Google or Apple. The students could think of it as having the ability to do something fun every day and then make money as a benefit of working in code. Finally, Computers in Engineering has taught the students that they should strongly consider a career in coding because it has so many

While the typical image that comes to mind when one thinks of computer programming or coding is one of nerdy, awkward guys glued to their computers and speaking in random keyboard symbols, this is in fact far from the reality. In truth, the ability to code has become a ladder in the 21st century, giving people a leg up in their professional and personal lives. However, the general consensus as well as a major lack of understanding has left many people unaware or refusing of this chance. Should those people simply attempt to learn, their lives could be radically transformed for the better, reaping the benefits coding and computer programming bring, namely an increase in the opportunities they may find professionally, as well as empowerment for them and the

The way I solve math indicated how passionate I am. But I want to deal with more and more numbers!. Intelligent people always impressed me as well as codes! After dealing with java basics and Algorithm, I found computer science portrays me .

My strongest coding language as of now is Java, as I have taken two college level courses that were based on it. In these two courses, I have done several programming assignments, but the project I was most proud to work on was a Java program that solves chess puzzles. The professor showed us how to solve chess puzzles recursively by constructing a game tree. I

Coding became the “cool thing to do” when I was in middle school. Unfortunately, conflicting interests made me prioritize musical electives over programming. I finally felt as though I had been missing out in 10th grade, when as a robotics hardware captain, I struggled to understand the software and coding it took to run what I built.

My interest in Computer Science started when I joined in Robotics Team during my Sophomore year of high school. As a new member, I presumed a semester of Honors Computer Science would prepare me to contribute to the team. My initial excitement was short-lived, however, as I trudged through program after program - completing well over thirty by the end of the first semester. I sensed something was missing; I didn’t feel completely fulfilled.

Although the programs were not easy, I could let loose and let my imagination in addition to my creativity take control of myself. Throughout my high school years, I have gone through some challenges such as depression among others, but they were never the types of challenges that I was provoked by until it came to the task being computer science. Computer science caused me to struggle while enjoying it at the same time; Subsequently, I was able to program the way my heart desired to program. All throughout my earlier life, I was always told how to complete tasks such as with math, English, even down to the manner of coloring; Nevertheless, computer science was different as I could develop a program in a million different ways with a million different lines of code. In a way, programming granted me the freedom that I had secretly sought after without even realizing that I sought after it myself. Computer science allows me to let loose and be myself, which is the reason that I want to become a software engineer after I graduate from

Since then my passion for coding has become insatiable, but it wasn't always that way. In fact, I was initially skeptical of the significance of typing lines of letters on a screen. Often I’d ask my father: “What purpose could this possibly serve?” My father always provided me with many examples, but I never understood the potential of coding until one night when a Nor'easter raged over the East Coast.

I enjoyed learning how to solve problems by efficiently writing code. To continue my interests, I attend a vocational high school as a Technology major. Through my coursework and extracurriculars in programming and AP Computer Science, I’ve learned various programming languages, wrote algorithms, and studied data structures. In Computer Assisted Design class, I modeled objects and prototypes using Autodesk’s AutoCAD software, and attended workshops on 3D printing.

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.

That was the complexity that drew me in. How could a series of complicated coded language, obvious only to the programmer, interpret into words so easy that even a child can understand? Moreover, the complicated coded language offers a solution that meets desired needs! I was ready to spend my future being the programmer whose main role was problem solving. I was ready to give to my community what I knew.

Initially I was annoyed and confused by the binary and programming languages that were thrown at me during the course introduction, but after about a month of getting acclimated, everything clicked. I picked up the basics of the java programming language in a month and was writing my own simple programs that could store, organize, and even calculate data. Halfway through the year I’d began to rethink the career path I’d thought I’d chosen. Maybe programming would be better for me to pursue than American History. I looked into career paths for programmers and software developers, as a people person I was ecstatic to learn that I could work on development teams with other people to make programs or software of all

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.

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 completed my bachelor’s degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Anna University, a premier University in India.
