Letter Of Recommendation For Electrical Engineering

I am very much interested in the field of engineering and hope to pursue a career in engineering sometime in the future. Although I haven’t decided which branch of engineering I want to pursue yet, my experiences as an engineering magnet student at Wheaton High school and the different engineering programs I am a part of have ignited within me a passion for engineering.

Staring at engine components of a car as well as holding a smartphone with almost unbelievable thickness fascinated me in many ways indirectly leaded me into getting to know more through different sources about machines ranging from transportation to communication devices. Two years of A-level preparation, further solidified my interest in this area as I found myself very fond of learning mathematics, physics and mechanics in particular. In addition, my curiosity in the operation and dynamics of objects naturally influences my choice of degree, leading me towards Engineering as it is a discipline which satisfy my own interest and most probably bring out the best of me.

As I entered high school, I began to immerse myself in the world of technology and engineering.

When deciding what to do with the rest of your life there are tons to consider. Where to arrive, what is ultimately enjoyable, and will all the time and effort be worth it? One of the finest questions that beg an answer is that of enjoying oneself. A career is not a short-term commitment; it is something that one will partake in for much of their life. Therefore, while making the decision of what to do with the rest of my young life, what is most enjoyable was on the mind. Math and science have always been the easy answer to that question. Most of the classes I took in high school involved math or science in a certain way including advanced placement level courses. Overall it made the highest sense to pursue a field of engineering.

Ever since I used to play with Legos as a little kid, I had a passion for creating something from scratch. My first educational experience in this was taking a web design class when I was a freshman in high school. The idea of building a website from nothing sparked my interest, so I continued taking web design classes throughout the rest of my high school career. I even designed a site for a local animal kennel. When I got accepted to the University of Florida I choose electrical engineering as my major because I felt like that was the closest thing to the kind of work that I was doing in high school. After I started to take electrical engineering specific classes, such as circuits, I was starting to lose interest and my grades were suffering. I wanted to be able to see visually the work that I was doing and I did not feel like I was getting it from electrical engineering. During one of my semesters I took a statics class as a technical elective and loved it. For the first time, I felt that I was able to visualize how the material I learned was applied to real-world applications. Because of this, I switched majors to mechanical and aerospace engineering, my grades improved, and I have never been happier.

I find it fascinating how electricity works and I look forward to putting into work all the things i know and the many more With this course i will be successful in my life because I'm going to do what I really like to do and cause of that I'm going to do my best to learn and gain more experience. I will do good with this course because I am very interested and it fascinates me a lot. With this course I want to change my life around, and I want to improve my self in society. I will feel very proud of myself when I complete this course because I'm going to be the first to go to college and finish it in my family.

Although, it is invisible but it is something real and substantial. As a power engineer, I’ll be helping to guarantee electricity supply to keep businesses and households going – allowing everyone to do what they have to do and importantly, do what they want to do. Power Engineers help to shape the future. Clean energy sources, smart grid, energy efficiency and electric vehicles are some of the promising areas that depend on new technology designed by power and energy engineers. Pursuing my interest, I have also worked in Goldwind Co. Ltd, where I designed algorithms for the fault detection in wind turbines, which was verified by the company and is installed in a big wind farm near

Now, after completing different placement tests I am a second year electrical engineering student at Holon Institute of Technology, and it is a challenging year.

I believe that my mathematics and physics skills would make me a proficient engineer. This is proven with my consistent performance in the UKMT, achieving top of year for 5 consecutive years and reaching the final round in the intermediate stage as early as year 10. This has allowed be to demonstrate my flexibility and adaptability, which are both important factors to my strong problem solving skills.

My favourite subjects were Thermodynamics and Computer Aided Design and Modeling (CADCAM), in which I had great interest to learn and experiment. During my four year course, I participated in various technical festivals of Institution of Technology’s (IIT’s), which are the premier institutions of my country, India. Participation in these festivals gave me a practical understanding of my studies and exposure of the real world. The competitions I participated involved business idea presentation, design event using CAD and building a step climbing robot. These visits had a major impact on my approach towards problem solving and gave me the ability to imagine and understand things faster and better.

I commence this statement with a bit of my personality which has a direct bearing on my academic pursuits. I have always felt a strong need for achievement, which has been the motivating force behind whatever I have achieved in my academic career. My consistently outstanding academic record ever since my school years has resulted in numerous prizes and certificates of merit. My strengths have been my quantitative and analytical abilities which instilled in me a special interest for mathematics and physics. I had always been intrigued by science and used to spend a lot of time learning and knowing it. This fascination for science and keen interest in the ever-growing world of technology motivated me to take up engineering studies for my undergraduate and graduate study. I have always been in awe of the organized complexity of life’s machinery which

I believe that my education, research, work and volunteering experience – spanning across the fields of systems engineering, renewable energy, energy policy, energy access and development – also align with these goals and have prepared me well to undertake the challenges of a PhD.

I write this as an undergraduate student seeking admission to the Electrical Engineering graduate program of Stanford with a research focus on Hardware/Software Systems. The exponential advancement in technology over the last decade with the rise of Internet of Things and Big data analytics has necessitated novel computational techniques. New design paradigms in hardware architectures have emerged to expand the capabilities of physical devices. I am fascinated by the potential impact of efficient system design and analysis on information technology. At graduate school, I would like to work at the intersection of embedded systems and data science, contributing to tackling various design challenges that include designing energy efficient and secure systems and analyzing collected data to make new hypotheses. I consider my choice of

The first wind machine for electricity production was an automatically operated turbine made by American inventor Charles Brush in 1888. In the successive 12 years both America and Denmark began experiments on windmills generating electricity as countries such as these had no fossil fuels of their own. By 1900 Denmark had over 2500 mechanical devices operated by wind power alone. Shepard (reference year) suggests Denmark’s energy production types seemed to correlate to its social economic. During World War I, fuel and oil supplies were constricted and wind power became a major competitor in energy production for Denmark. After the war however, diesel engines were glorified throughout the country and the windmill was languished. As the world entered into the second world war era, oil supplies were cut short again and wind power became a viable option for main power generation. The wind power industry was significantly changed with the inception of innovative designs such as the Savonius rotor (1925) and the Darrieus Rotor (1931). These types of rotors were initially rejected as a main power generation source until the international oil crisis during the 1970’s where Denmark, Canada and America developed these types of rotors to extract power from the wind in large scales.
