Engineering Personal Statement

I took courses across multiple disciplines, yet I remained remote from the ideas presented – until I met my professor for General Chemistry during my junior year. I enjoyed the class lectures, and I attended the professor’s office hours often that she asked me to become a learning assistant (LA) for the course. As luck would have it, I acquired the job title. With the help of four other LAs, I assisted the professor teach a class of two hundred students. The five of us met weekly and collaborated with the professor on lesson plans while answering students’ questions during lecture.

As a returning student seeking a bachelor 's degree in my fifties, married for thirty-three years, I returned to college when our second born went to first grade, to become a registered nurse.

As technology advances into the future, I would need to go back to college to update myself with the new technology.

The second organization I have been involved in was National Honors Society, which focused on formulating young leaders. Finally I volunteered at Methodist Richardson Hospital as a junior volunteer, which really allowed me to show my compassion for others. Every day I interacted with patients and their family members, trying to bring a smile to their faces during a tough situation. I love to cheer others up in everything I do. My final experience, was interning at a small technology startup company.

They worked hard to instill in me the importance of work ethic, pride, and integrity. Therefore, I want nothing more than to make them proud.

She also said how her mother brought back her classwork and software necessary and then she learned how to handle those programs by herself teaching her the technical side of graphic design. Those programs were early versions of Photoshop, Pagemaker, QuarkXPress, and Super Paint. She says that the things she produced back then were bad because she inserted every font she could and inserted graphics randomly. In summer camp for high school students she finally got into some design classes by working for school publications. Then when she went to college typography courses it brought a new level of sophistication to her designs.

My biggest goal in college Earl Nightingale argues, ”Your problem is to bridge the gap between where you are now and the goal you intended to reach”. I believe college education is something to be endured in order to become qualified to obtain certain kinds of jobs. After finishing a bachelor degree in computer science, I become a data engineer. My job requires me to have a strong background in programming and statistic which I learned in the classes. And the habits I built at the university such as self-teaching, critical thinking and the ability to collecting and processing information help me a lot during my work.

At the same time, myself and my family members had apprehensions about me going back to academics after a long stay away from the field and many people suggested possible obstacles in my path. The decision to go ahead turned out to be wise as I completely committed myself to the course and graduated as the university topper with a CGPA of 10/10. I also had undertaken research activities which has resulted in some publications as elaborated in my resume. During this period I had opportunity to involve myself as a teaching assistant for some courses in the mechanical engineering department, successful execution of which paved way for my selection into the same campus as a lecturer on

You may be wondering why an environmental engineer is interested in studying Management Information Systems. The reality is that information technology and managerial strategies have been central components throughout my life. I am currently working as a software engineer and although I have enjoyed my career till date, my true interests lie in acquiring the management capabilities and advanced training in information systems. I am now seeking a more sophisticated knowledge of information systems and management techniques that impact positively on every aspect of an organization’s business’ operations. During my higher secondary education, my interests and ability were inclined towards the logically oriented subjects like mathematics, physics,

Personal Statement of Purpose I, Nilay Pramodbhai Patel, take this opportunity to introduce myself as a graduate of Mechanical Department from Gujarat Technological University, Gujarat. I now want to take the next step by specialising in Global Production Engineering (Manufacturing) by undertaking and pursing my postgraduate studies at Technical University of Berlin in the specialism mentioned. I would humbly request you to take time and consider my application to you and put forward this personal statement of my purpose of seeking higher education at your university together with supporting testimonial and recommendation letters from my college and current employers. Right from my childhood days, I was always eager to know how things work in surroundings.
