Statement of Purpose

In the constantly evolving world of Science and technology, where there is an outbreak of new concepts that soon become obsolete, I wish to gain a competent level of education and expand my scale of learning. With my keenness, I am devoted to continue my academic pursuit in this direction. With a definitive purpose to gain a fine understanding in the segment of Electrical and Computer Engineering, I desire to convert my intention into logic supplemented by an MS degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Trying to grasp the basics of science in my secondary learning, an interest in the field generated. To understand it in detail, I took up science as my major in my higher secondary. With a certainty to adopt Engineering as my career stream, I focused on Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry. A reasonable performance was the result of my interest in the subjects.

Working in the direction of my focus, I sat for the competitive IIT entrance examinations and thereafter, secured an admission in Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee.IIT Roorkee is one of the top-ranking Engineering institutions in India. I joined IIT Roorkee in 2008 cracking Joint Entrance examination to pursue my Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication, which I completed in 2012. During this under graduate program, I understood the basics of Electronics and Communication Engineering, which coupled with their practical applications, strengthened my interest in the field. During my undergraduate learning, I gained an understanding in the core areas of Electronics and Communications such as Signal and Systems, Computer Architecture and Microprocessor, Digital Hardware lab, Digital electronics, Analog Electronics, Principals of digital communication, Automatic control systems, Digital Control Systems, Engineering Electromagnetic, Principles of digital communication, Artificial Neural Network and application, RF Microwave receiver design for wireless applications, Artificial Intelligence, Microprocessor and interfacing techniques. Fiber optics and Micro strip antennas was my major during this learning.
As a part of the curriculum, I executed my major project in audio visual speech recognition using lip geometric features. The project included face detection, eye localization and lip tracking. During the execution of this project, I was further captivated by the power of electronics and communications. Besides, a practical knowledge of my learning generated a passion to advance it.
Additionally, with my internship centering on Remote Monitoring of Rural People (Telemedicine) comprising transmitting patient’s data directly from patient monitoring systems to a specialist in other regions using GPRS, by deciphering transmitted codes on both the sides of transmitter and receiver, my interest in the field intensified.

While studying Electronics and Communication Engineering, I was exposed to the various arte facts and diverse theories and concepts. Since Electronics and Communication Engineering is very vast field, it is difficult to have specific knowledge catering to specific area of interest as individuals have varied preferences. With my Bachelor’s learning, a foundation in the subject was fostered. With globalization gaining momentum, the employment prospects are becoming further competitive. During my research as a part of my coursework, I identified the significance of higher studies. A Bachelor’s learning exposes an individual to the fundamentals but lacks an industrial exposure imperative to succeed. An MS credential will allow me to explore a broader set of career options matching my personal intent.

With my research oriented focus to evolve as a System Design Engineer, I have research interests in VLSI, Microprocessor, and RF Microwave receiver design. I strongly believe that a specialized knowledge about these concepts and their application in the Electronics and Communications Engineering industry are very important to broaden my knowledge and interest. The specifics of this learning can only be attained through a specialized Master’s credential. The prospects of System Design Engineer captivate my interest and my choices of project intensified this concentration.

My academic affinity, inherent inquisitiveness with my interest in the field reasons my zeal for research. For a fruitful research, a right guidance is imperative. For an in-depth learning, the post graduation in this field is the next logical step. With an enthusiastic interest in the field, I am certainly mindful of the huge efforts that I would have to put in for the accomplishment of my idea. This constitutes the very motivation behind my present application for the MS program from your esteemed University.

I consider that pursuing such critical subject from University of Nevada will broaden my insight and the interactions with varied students will assist in a meticulous familiarity of the subject. A concentrated program, an energetic learning atmosphere, and specialized faculty have motivated me to handpick your institution for my higher studies. I infer that the MS course at University of Nevada will endow me with enormous prospects of creative thinking alongside a sense of industry relevance. With this course, I envision myself satiating my yearning of achieving specialized excellence in research.

I am clear as to my carrier aspiration. To pursue research after my MS, I am fully aware that your curriculum will ensure me to deploy all my resources and I affirm that I have necessary dedication, aptitude and determination to keenly look forward to do it all. I look forward for an interesting and a rewarding future at University of Nevada with a hope that my credentials are found worthy of admission.
