我对科学的兴趣要追溯到我的高中时代,当时,我擅长物理,化学和数学。当我上到高年级的时候,我在当地的大学修了一年的微积分课程(当时,在高中还没有一个较高的水平),经过努力的学习,我获得了A的好成绩。看起来是理所当然的,我选择从事电气工程专业。
当我开始我的大学生活的时候,我有机会接触到各种工程课程,所有这些倾向于工程的课程都加强和巩固了我对电气工程专业的强烈兴趣。我也有机会学习很多人文科目,他们很有趣,很令人感到享受,也经常会带给我很多启发,针对我们生活的世界为我提供一个新的和不同的观点。
在工程领域,我已经开始对激光技术领域产生了特殊的浓厚的兴趣,我甚至开始学习量子电子学的研究生课程。在25左右的研究生中,我是唯一的本科生。
My interest in science dates back to my years in high school, where I excelled in physics, chemistry, and math. When I was a senior, I took a first-year calculus course at a local college (such an advanced-level class was not available in high school) and earned an A. It seemed only logical that I pursue a career in electrical engineering.
When I began my undergraduate career, I had the opportunity to be exposed to the full range of engineering courses, all of which tended to reinforce and solidify my intense interest in engineering. I've also had the opportunity to study a number of subjects in the humanities and they have been both enjoyable and enlightening, providing me with a new and different perspective on the world in which we live.
In the realm of engineering, I have developed a special interest in the field of laser technology and have even been taking a graduate course in quantum electronics. Among the 25 or so students in the course, I am the sole undergraduate.
Another particular interest of mine is electromagnetics, and last summer, when I was a technical assistant at a world-famous local lab, I learned about its many practical applications, especially in relation to microstrip and antenna design. Management at this lab was sufficiently impressed with my work to ask that I return when I graduate. Of course, my plans following completion of my current studies are to move directly into graduate work toward my master's in science. After I earn my master's degree, I intend to start work on my Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Later I would like to work in the area of research and development for private industry. It is in R & D that I believe I can make the greatest contribution, utilizing my theoretical background and creativity as a scientist. I am highly aware of the superb reputation of your school, and my conversations with several of your alumni have served to deepen my interest in attending. I know that, in addition to your excellent faculty, your computer facilities are among the best in the state. I hope you will give me the privilege of continuing my studies at your fine institution. |
