While reasoning my intentions to pursue MS in Computer Scicence
at Oklahoma State University I would like to throw some
light on my career till now, I always fancied myself with Computers
right from my childhood and thought of becoming a Software Engineer
got implanted in my mind at an early age. A career in Engineering
seemed the most challenging and logical extension of my abilities.
I was
given training in the basics of the operation and the applications
of the computers during my school days. From that day onwards until
the 10th standard I was constantly being taught different
concepts of computer in different levels. The various concepts that
I am thorough with, in school, are Word, QBasic and C
Fundamentals. Science has been my favorable subject right from
my school days and has always been one among the toppers of my
class. I have even represented my school in many competitions. I
have been the member of the quiz team of our school that has won
many competitions.
After my
higher secondary I was determined to secure for myself a position in
the Information Technology field, which deals with the areas of
Computers, Communications and Networks. To accomplish this I had to
qualify in the EAMCET Entrance Exam for Andhra Pradesh, India.
I secured a good rank in the examination and secured a seat in
Computer Science Engineering in V.R.Siddhartha Engineering College,
Affiliated to Nagarjuna University.
At VRSEC
I had the good fortune of having a well-compiled syllabus, which
placed equal emphasis on theoretical fundamentals as well as
practical applications. Subjects such as Computer organization,
Digital Logic Design, Microprocessor Applications laid a solid
foundation in the theoretical aspects of the subjects. Practical
application aspects were introduced to me through subjects such as
Object Oriented Programming concepts, Data Structures, Relational
Database Management Systems, Internet technologies. The areas,
which are of special interest to me centered on Computer
communications, Software Engineering, E-Commerce applications. I
am interested in learning more about encryption and artificial
intelligence. My interest in Networks began when I read about
the various application fields it could be used, in the Information
Technology magazine. I am a regular reader of magazines such as
IEEE-spectrum, potentials, chip, computer networks, and computer
today, which enabled me to be in touch with the latest developments
in information technology.
At VRSEC
I had the opportunity to interact with some of the best professors
in our region. I had the opportunity to do alive project in BPL
Mobile Ltd. Coimbattore and project title is Mobile High Usage
Roaming Alert and the project is being implemented by the
company people right now and the project is done in VB and Oracle.
The
next step in my career towards achieving my career goal is to pursue
my Masters Program in Computer Science. I have done considerable
research in this area to pursue my Higher education in a reputed
University and with a good course curriculum. I found about the
education in USA and its recognition. I have therefore applied to
the OSU in USA. Also with some advice from my college senior who are
in various colleges in USA I have opted for this College. The course
MS in Computer Science.
The
course has been designed to give me insight into the world of
academic and industrial computing research. By focusing on several
currently active areas it affords me the opportunity to gain an
in-depth understanding of the topics of the course and in doing so,
to develop the skills necessary to carry out innovative work with in
the discipline of computing.
I
strongly believe that a software engineer should be instinctive,
innovative, quick to adapt and adopt new technologies, which is only
possible with solid foundation and profundity in his subjects. This
entails and insightful and thorough understanding of the intricacies
of the subject. That’s the reason why I am inclined towards M.Sc in
Computer Science.
I am
sure that with my interaction with the faculty and peers at your
college will provide an ambience conducive for my transition
from an undergraduate to a graduate. It is my strong belief that
graduation from this institution will take me close to achieving my
ultimate goal of becoming an efficient software engineer. While my
sights are firmly set on graduation, it is my strong desire to
pursue research program following my graduation.
Computing Science plays an ever-increasing role in today’s society.
Technological innovation has been one of the driving forces behind
India’s rapid growth. It is therefore essential that every
opportunity be afforded to talented Indian graduates to extend their
education and skills in order to play an active role in managing the
opportunities presented in the future.
India is
fast gaining a reputation for its computer industry and at the
moment it is regarded as the centre for Software and as a result
many of the top notch Multinational Corporations are establishing
their contact centers in India. As a result an International Degree
is focused to meet employment opportunities with in the computing
industry in India. Possible career opportunities for me in India
include research and development roles in the development of new
technologies such as software engineering, technical applications
developers and consultants, network managers and other leading roles
in computing industry. |
