SOP, "I have long been fascinated by the world of technology"

"Statement of Purpose"

"I have long been fascinated by the world of technology. Its ever-changing nature and rapid growth are what motivated me to pursue engineering. I chose to major in Instrumentation Engineering as I find this sub-field of engineering most rewarding. This was further strengthened during my undergraduate career taking various courses in the fundamentals of instrumentation and electrical engineering like Network analysis, control systems. Learning how technology developed from the manual to the automated has inspired me to study Instrumentation Engineering at B.V.Bhoomaraddi College of Engineering and Technology, Hubli.

During the course of my undergraduate studies I was exposed to various topics that included Control Systems, Signal Conditioning Circuits, and Digital Signal Processing with my main interest being Programmable Logic Controllers. To gain a greater understanding of programmable logic controllers, I obtained my CAE (Certified Automation Engineer) from Technocrat Automation Pvt Limited (IAO Accredited), Chennai. During this certification I received two months of hands on experience in Industrial Automation Tools specializing in Programmable Logic Controller, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition and Variable-frequency drive

As a child, I wondered about voltage and current distribution systems. I had an uncle who was doing electrical work at home. I used to help him in his work from which an interest in electrical systems grew in me. During my undergraduate program, selected a course related to integration of Hardware and Software. But now, I want to listen to my heart which says to do Masters in Electrical Engineering.

I have developed two projects. In one project, I designed a "soft-technique toothbrush"; a device that allows a double-amputee to brush his or her own teeth with ease. This project culminated with a presentation at University Q. In my final year of undergrad I developed my second project: an agricultural robot with the ability to sow seeds and distribute water and pesticides automatically (I am fairly certain this already exists and is in use. What makes yours different?). My role in project was to design the circuits and power system. While working on this project I realized the difficulty involved with circuit design. My main concern was with the correct electrical charges and flow. With the guidance of my mentor Mr.Shamsuddin I was able to complete the project with the determination to see it through.

Your esteemed college is that it provides the kind of exposure needed to broaden my thinking and. Your college is a confluence of people from every nationality, religion and race. Overall development of the personality can be done and it helps me to broaden my concept from the narrower confines of nationalism to internationalism. I am fully aware about yours curriculum and I aver that I have the necessary commitment, intelligence and stamina to look forward to do it all. I am convinced that my study at your department would be meaningful and rewarding experience. I look forward to have a long and profitable association with your esteemed college.

I like if this came up earlier. That is to start with how your interest (in the field) developed and then how you pursued your interest.

Also, you do not talk about your future goals. It is important for you to tell them about your aspirations and how this program is going to help you achieve them. SOP is the best opportunity for you to let them (admission folks) stuff that other parts of your application, like transcriptions, recommendation letters etc. cannot tell them.

Hope you pay attention to what Pahan has mentioned. This is a guideline we provide for SOPs and hope it would be helpful for you too;

1)Background,
2)Development of interest
3)Initial pursuit of interest/Research/Education
4)Future goals
5) How will the specific program help you achieve your future goals and then a final summary.
