Statement of Purpose of Computer Science

After carefully evaluating my skills, interests, aptitude and academic background, I have decided to pursue MS in Computer Science. I am a research enthusiast/Being a research enthusiast , and I /I would like to embark upon my journey to become a successful researcher through Master Program from University of Florida, Gainesville.

Robert A. Heinlein once said, “One man’s magic is another man’s engineering.”With saying I would like to be open about myself as to why I wish to pursue electronic and computer engineering at HKUST.Being one of the world’s best places to pursue engineering for undergraduate and I am very excited by the core curriculum. I would love a practical and research oriented course with equal theoretical knowledge. I am expecting classes to be different from how they are back home.HKUST has always been my dream college.Moreover, many seniors have suggested me to apply to HKUST.Studying at HKUST is not only about the education you get there, it’s a family in which I want to become a part.

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 Arthur C. Clarke said ‘Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic’, I am always fond of that magic and I never ceased to learn new things especially, computers. Its formidability and enigma urged me to take footsteps in the field of Computer Science, that is when I decided to pursue my graduation in Computer Science.

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.

Ever since the Industrial Revolution man has become more and more dependent on technology. The advancements in technology during the industrial revolution that started in the 1760’s in England transformed the economy of Europe from an agrarian, handicraft economy to an economy dominated by industry and machine manufacturing (Encyclopedia Brittanica, 2015). In the Microprocessor Revolution of the second half of the twentieth century, the microprocessor was created and since then businesses around the world have become more and more dependent in the use of computers for their daily operations (Mack, 2005). Such change brought on by the use of technology has influenced nearly everything we do in our daily lives. The world’s economy has changed

In the modern day, it’s easy to see man’s need for technology. The need to surpass previous limits is what drives society today in such a technologically advanced world. Although we continuously push for newer, faster, more powerful computers and components, we barely stop and think about how society in turn affects its development.

The field of IT is progressing fast, and it is an important job in serving the technological needs of society. Humans are dependent on technology because it helps accomplish things that could otherwise not be done. It is always present in everyday life, and IT professionals are necessary to support the technology that everyone relies on. People go to IT professionals to fix their computers, create programs and apps, and maintain network connections. Without people who are skilled in this field, there is no doubt that computers and other technologies would be a struggle to use. If there is a lack of knowledge with how IT systems work, then it could affect society negatively because the world is driven by technological connections. It is an important field of study for colleges to offer, because information technology helps advance society. Technology has evolved for hundreds of years, and has always had a role in changing human lives. In the article, “Evolving Information Technology: Opportunities and Challenges,” author Ayub Shirandula says, “The effects of technology change are felt by all human beings. Every day people are reminded that they are living in the information age” (6002). Society has a dependence

A computer and information research scientist’s job is to research the current state of computers and to find new ways of innovating the technology. This field has interested me since I was a kid; I had this magical box that could do anything with the double-click of a mouse. It has amazed me ever since the first time I used one. We all use computers on a daily basis, believe they are amazing, and yet barely any of us know how it really works. I have an intrinsic motive to learn as much as possible about computers and how they work because one day I want to make my own operating system. This career requires an

Since the dawn of humanity, humans have constantly innovated to survive and improve the quality of life. From simple beginnings as hunters and gatherers in small tribes, humans have expanded across the entire globe to form a highly complex,intertwined society. The primary factor that pushed the advancement of humanity was science and technology. Science and technology continue to push humanity forward today as new technologies are researched and released daily. To continue the progression of humanity, I will major in computer science so I can aid in developing the technologies of tomorrow.

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.

As we live in the 21st century, development of science and technology grow very quickly. As far as I have known the field of computer application continuously expanding, and the rapid development of science and technology. It has become necessary in various areas of the goods. Perhaps in the near future, we carry the computers, cell phones and other digital products is not the way with the hands in pocket. Lohr claims that computer science is “young

Choosing to learn software engineering was fortuitous for me when I had to select a profession several years ago. As I studied software engineering more deeply, I began to realize technologies related not only are very interesting but also have permeated into many fields. After experiencing undergraduate education for four years and graduate education for less than one year, I am extremely desperate for an occasion to further improve my cognition and practical ability in computing science. Your prestigious program is absolutely an excellent platform to make my dream come true.

Although I have changed my mind numerous times throughout growing up on what I wanted to be when I was older, I have recently made the final decision- a software engineer. I am currently attending school for a degree in Computer Science, as well as preparing for an internship at Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine California. Since I will have a considerable amount of less experience than the other interns, I will really have to prove myself and show that I am cut out for the Blizzard team. My long-term goal is to finish my degree, go on to a university, continue to apply and go to the internships at Blizzard, and eventually become part of the Blizzard team. Interpersonal communication is even more of a skill I must conquer, not only because I must prove that I am competent in computer science, despite the short amount of time I have been in school, but also because communication skills, in general, are vital in this field.

I remember as a kid, I used play with toys like remote control cars, dog which jumps on clapping etc. Every time I play with these toys, I wondered how these things work. My dad who is an automobile Engineer used to dismantle, repair and refit parts of the car in garage. Looking at him I used to rip away the parts of toys with the curiousness to know how things really work and try to put them back.
