786 Words4 Pages

I will be graduating with a BSc degree in Electrical Engineering from Iowa State University in December 2017, and I then wish to pursue an MSc degree in Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University. My reason for selecting Texas A&M University is that the Department of Engineering is superb, a well-recognized history of academic and excellent research environment.

Thus, I was fortunate enough to be influenced in this area of expertise by my family, and I must say they have all been very encouraging and supportive of my academic pursuits. During my undergraduate studies, I have had the privilege of working in two research projects related to power and energy systems.

However, I am fully aware that I am in need of more hands-on experience conducting research and in becoming more familiar with reading complex literature and research papers. I suppose my most important deficit is in learning how to use other software programs for a variety of research applications. Currently, I am the leader of my senior design team, and the project is related to enhance the power distribution system for Algona. The Algona is a city of about 5500 people in
