STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

While reasoning my intentions to pursue MS in Electrical Engineering at your University. I would like to throw some light on my career till now, a fascination for Science & Technology and keen interest in the ever-growing world of Technology. Motivated me to take up engineering. I choose to major in Electrical& Electronics and Engineering with an intense urge to delve into the denouncing field.

In UG, I had a keen interest in subjects such as Electronic Devices and Circuits, Switching Theory and Logic Design, Microprocessors and Microcontrollers, Integrated Circuit applications. The fact that the common electronic equipments such as computers and mobiles are getting smaller, faster and more power efficient by the day due to the ability to pack more and more transistors onto a single chip has amazed me.

My project in the third year of UG was “Manufacturing of Turbo Generators”. The outstanding special feature of a Turbo Generators Where my project continued up to two months at Bharat Heavy Electronics Limited [BHEL]. Which was the 7th largest power equipment manufacturer in the world, and is an Indian state-owned integrated power plant equipment manufacturer. This project mainly deals with manufacturing and designing of Turbo generators, which are very essential for generation of Power. A turbo generator is the combination of a turbine directly connected to an electrical generator for the generation of electric power. Large steam powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam powered turbo-electric ships.

And coming to my final year project in UG was “Power Grid Control System using GSM technology”. This is based on indication of power Grid using AT89c51 Micro Controller. Where my project is completed at National Small Industrial Corporation (NSIC).In addition to the coursework, I have been a student member of the National Small Industries Corporation (NSIC) for the past two years. Through their workshops, seminars, research work and academic oriented papers in the fields of electronics, telecommunications and information technology, I have been exposed to a myriad of emerging technologies in the field of Integrated Circuits , Microcontrollers and VLSI Design.

It is after a good deal of self-evaluation that I have decided to pursue graduate studies in Masters Program. This decision naturally followed after carefully considering my Family background and areas of interest in the master’s program .As I graduate from Electrical and Electronics engineering , After my Studies I have had a chance to utilize my previous education to further my skills and operate as a professional in the company. I have been in charge of academic projects, as well as trainer in the company. I have found this position to be as rewarding as it is challenging; most importantly, it has provided me with a valuable foundation of knowledge in practically all aspects of Electrical and Electronics. However, despite this, I feel

that it is necessary for me to pursue a master’s degree in USA in order to further broaden my knowledge and expand my career potential in the International telecommunication area, My consistent so far academic performance makes me feel confident of holding my own against the best and I have developed a deep interest to pursue the graduate studies.

I have no doubt that your University is the appropriate one for me, since it provides a unique mix of educational advantages. It is one of the most dynamic universities providing personal attention and extensive academic resources along with superior education in the field of Telecommunication. Here, I will receive an education that gives me both, the technical skills and the intellectual discipline to become a leader in industry. It is a University where research is an integral part of the department and the entire faculty is highly qualified and friendly. This I say from my personal experience while interacting with them through chat. It is a meeting ground of various social lives and cultural ideas. In all, it is a comprehensive university that furnishes an education that will serve me well in my career and prepare me for a lifetime of learning.

I would be an ideal candidate for your college since I have been consistently performing well in my Bachelors course procuring at aggregate marks with 63.37% marks. I believe that I would be a suitable applicant for course in the university since I’ve always been inclined towards practical task and the everlasting quest to learn more. Education should be a medium for the unfolding of one’s inborn faculties, enabling him to use his mind, eyes, ears, and hands, as they should be used. This is the kind of education I would want, and one that I know your university will equip me with. It would be a great pleasure and honor for me if given a chance to ensue my graduate studies at your university and if given an opportunity to teach or do research work would not fall short of your expectations.
