Undergraduate / SOP "The only thing permanent in life is change" Computer Engineering - my major [3]

The ever increasing applications of computers in technological development demand more efficient networking. Coming from a background of Electronics and Communication Engineering, I have developed a fascination to probe into the arena of Networking in general and Computer Networks in particular which posses a challenging task in interconnecting PC's and Laptops. This cultivated my interest to take Computer Engineering as my major in my graduate studies.

There is a saying, which says, "The only thing permanent in life is change". This perfectly holds true to the world of Computer Engineering where novel ideas are not a novelty. It is this novelty that entices me to this field and gives me a deep sense of professional pride. In this context, I would like to pursue my graduation in Computer Engineering, which not only supplements the knowledge that I possess but also provides a strong platform for my future career goals.

However, I found that I have no uncertainty in proceeding along a path that I have been planning over the last 3 years. I have originated from a family where the highest priority was always given to good education. Blessed with schooling from one of the premier institutions of India, I was strongly motivated to pass my senior school exams with honors.

After successful completion of my school studies, I got admitted to B.V.Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering and Technology, Hubli, which is one of the reputed universities at the global level. I took Instrumentation Engineering as my major in the undergraduate program. During the course of my undergraduate studies I was exposed to various topics that included Control Systems, Signal Conditioning Circuits, and Digital Signal Processing with my main interest being Programmable Logic Controllers. To gain a greater understanding of programmable logic controllers, I obtained my CAE (Certified Automation Engineer) from Technocrat Automation Pvt Limited (IAO Accredited), Chennai. During this certification I received two months of hands on experience in Industrial Automation Tools specializing in Programmable Logic Controller, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Variable-frequency drive

While doing my undergraduate program, in first year I went through a course of C-language. In hostel we used to do lot of fun with this subject. One such incident was, we had written program where in if a wrong type of number entered [declared as integer in program and entered number is floating one] message was something like" flush your brains" and we would like to call a friend saying that there is a trouble with program and tell him to enter a other type number which displayed a funny message. It was just a game to tease. As days passed, I realized that my interest was on computer engineering. It was fun writing programs considering all possibilities. The same continued with HDL programming and PLC programming. Now to expand my knowledge fully on Programming, want to pursue masters in Computer Engineering.

My prodigious appetite for knowledge started from the moment, I was trained to write the series of English alphabets on the sands of the grounds of my school. This thrust spurred me to work assiduously till this part of my career and this will perpetually continue to stir me in achieving greater goals. I am fully aware of the fact that I have miles to go in this long distance race for acquiring higher knowledge. Although I believe that there is no substitute for hard work and strong working knowledge. Training in a reputed university like yours will give a big boost to my aspirations and academic pursuits

I have developed a keen desire to pursue my graduate studies and research in Computer Engineering in a university of excellence, which will provide me an opportunity to work with most modern and sophisticated equipment and intellectual environment by which I would be able to realize my dreams of exploring and contributing new vistas in the chosen field. Your institute, which is reputed to possess the above, besides having a host of eminent professors on its faculty, gives me wonderful opportunity to hone my skills and acquire knowledge.

I believe that "Accomplishments lie within the reach of those who reach beyond themselves". I am confident of making my own humble contribution in enhancing the image and reputation of your esteemed university in the years to come. Financial assistance from your university will give me a tremendous morale boost in this long pursuit to achieve excellence. I eagerly look forward to be a part of your academic community.

Graduate / SOP, "I have long been fascinated by the world of technology" [3]

"Statement of Purpose"

"I have long been fascinated by the world of technology. Its ever-changing nature and rapid growth are what motivated me to pursue engineering. I chose to major in Instrumentation Engineering as I find this sub-field of engineering most rewarding. This was further strengthened during my undergraduate career taking various courses in the fundamentals of instrumentation and electrical engineering like Network analysis, control systems. Learning how technology developed from the manual to the automated has inspired me to study Instrumentation Engineering at B.V.Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering and Technology, Hubli.

During the course of my undergraduate studies I was exposed to various topics that included Control Systems, Signal Conditioning Circuits, and Digital Signal Processing with my main interest being Programmable Logic Controllers. To gain a greater understanding of programmable logic controllers, I obtained my CAE (Certified Automation Engineer) from Technocrat Automation Pvt Limited (IAO Accredited), Chennai. During this certification I received two months of hands on experience in Industrial Automation Tools specializing in Programmable Logic Controller, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Variable-frequency drive

As a child, I wondered about voltage and current distribution systems. I had an uncle who was doing electrical work at home. I used to help him in his work from which an interest in electrical systems grew in me. During my undergraduate program, selected a course related to integration of Hardware and Software. But now, I want to listen to my heart which says to do Masters in Electrical Engineering.

I have developed two projects. In one project, I designed a "soft-technique toothbrush"; a device that allows a double-amputee to brush his or her own teeth with ease. This project culminated with a presentation at University Q. In my final year of undergrad I developed my second project: an agricultural robot with the ability to sow seeds and distribute water and pesticides automatically (I am fairly certain this already exists and is in use. What makes yours different?). My role in project was to design the circuits and power system. While working on this project I realized the difficulty involved with circuit design. My main concern was with the correct electrical charges and flow. With the guidance of my mentor Mr.Shamsuddin I was able to complete the project with the determination to see it through.

Your esteemed college is that it provides the kind of exposure needed to broaden my thinking and. Your college is a confluence of people from every nationality, religion and race. Overall development of the personality can be done and it helps me to broaden my concept from the narrower confines of nationalism to internationalism. I am fully aware about yours curriculum and I aver that I have the necessary commitment, intelligence and stamina to look forward to do it all. I am convinced that my study at your department would be meaningful and rewarding experience. I look forward to have a long and profitable association with your esteemed college.
