“The knowledge grows exponentially. The more we know the greater our ability to learn and the faster we expand our knowledge base.” This statement by great Novelist Dan Brown characterizes my belief. Ever since I was a child I was always fascinated by Science and my interests drove me towards becoming an Engineer. As I grew up I always made it a point that I learn something new from wherever possible.
My father, right from the start of his career, has been working in Electrical Engineering and maintenance based companies. He always used to come up with some photographs of huge transformers or generators which really fascinated me in my childhood. Those photographs and his experiences were the reasons why I selected Electrical Engineering as my B.Tech course.
On my first day of Engineering life, the lecture of Basic Electrical Engineering was something that generated keen interest in my heart about this core field. Electrical being mother of different branches of Engineering I could learn even Electronics and Programming based subjects parallel to our field. I have always been fully focused in learning my subjects and completing assignments and all of that

My internship coincided with the maintenance period of unit 8 of the thermal power plant so the guide engineer literally explained us the power plant in detail and I got opportunity to see the plant inside out. I was really amazed to see all the elements of power system, their testing and also I was present during synchronization of unit 8 with grid. I still remember on the last day of my internship our Guide Engineer S. Arun said “Electrical is a very huge field and so is this power plant. My job is tough but I love my job.” It was an amazing experience for me. I had to travel almost 3 hours in trains full of rush by changing 2 trains to reach there from my home but my excitement made 3 hours look very
There is also an advantage of expanding my knowledge to more than just the basics of Science. Since, all we learnt about Science is just the basics of Science, it barely scratches the surface. Also the more we all accomplish, the more pleasant memories we will have later
Knowledge, the key to progress, has proven to be a human being’s most powerful and significant weapon. We gain knowledge when we put our brain to work at the problems we need to solve in life. It doesn’t matter what we are trying to accomplish, whether it be creating a new technology or learning how to put together a puzzle, the matter of fact is that both request great examination and research to resolve and learn. Scientific research is a technique used to investigate phenomena, correct previous understanding, and acquire new knowledge. Knowledge could lead us to a possible cure for cancer, an alternative for fossil fuels, and the creation of a revolutionary technology. Nevertheless, all these benefits are a reason why
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.
The World of science and technology has held an allure for me right since my school days. The questions born from my curiosity as a child had simple explanations in the edifice of science. Physics fascinated me predominantly, to be more specific a part of Physics: Electricity. Understanding the concepts of Electricity refined my thought process and imbibed a culture of inquisitiveness, questioning, and interaction. My inclination towards this field spurred me to choose Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology as my majors in high school. Unequivocally, my career continued to progress in this direction and I chose Electrical and Electronics Engineering for my B.E.
Electrical engineers are in a very important career with what they do and how much stuff that electrical engineers have worked on like
I was more adept in the practical’s and hence used to spend more time in the laboratories. That childhood habit of going with father to his factory turned into a passion by now which led me to do an internship from National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO). There I had a close look at the application of mechanics and its related theories. It was a proper place for me to start my professional career as I got to learn a bit about corporate world too. Simultaneously, with the increasing role of computers in every field of engineering, I underwent career enhancing certificate courses like Computer Aided Design and 3DMax which helped me to learn various design aspects. These courses opened up a realm of possibilities, such as in the field of finite element analysis which I could never before have imagined. One aspect of these course was that I was required to analyse complex structure under various stages of loading and find their resonant frequencies using my own computer codes. Due to my interest in thermal and fluid sciences, Heat and Mass transfer, I submitted a project in my final year which was “Heat treatment of TMT
Something that sets the human race apart from other species is our cognitive skills and ability to connect ideas. Just as you work the muscles in your body by exercising, you need to work your brain with new activities to keep it sharp and healthy. Harvard Health Publications studies show that just as your muscles grow stronger with exercise, so does your brain, keeping your memory and mental skills sufficient. J. Robertson stating “Science isn’t a list of things we know to be true; it’s a collection of ideas we can’t prove wrong...yet,” discourages people to want to learn knew things and make discoveries, this is due to the fact the quote makes the reader feel like everything they will ever learn is pointless,
Personal Statement: Twenty years of education have brought me a deep appreciation for the study of the Power systems, Controls systems and Telecommunication. When the time came to specialize, my decision to major in Electrical Power Engineering was motivated by the hope of achieving a strong opportunity of creativity, research, and development. Electrical Engineering, with its myriad sub-domains and multi-faceted nature is a natural amalgamation that allows me to express my creativity and innovative power to bring about works that offer benefits to society. The tools and aims may be different, but designing and developing software/hardware or devising a novel mathematical proof is relatable to the work of artists in their shared spirit of creating. I view my decision to study Electrical Engineering as a natural means of fulfilling my need to create since it equips me with tools for the job: the ability to devise, test and evaluate Power systems and the programming knowledge required to implement them.
Knowledge is an essential part of my being and therefore, in my efforts to further my intellectual potential, I have taken to pursuing my intellect outside of the classroom as well. Over the past few years, knowledge has come to mean more to me than just books and studying. When I set a goal
For three out of the four years during high school I would go to another school for half of the day. At this school I learned about Electronics Engineering. Before this class I was curious about how things function, what makes the clock tick, or how did you receive that text message you just checked. Before this class all these things where just curiosities in my head, it was in this class that turned these
"The more we know the world around us, the more successful we will be." This quote, from the introduction of my high school chemistry book, was my driving force as a teenager to attend college. My expectations of college were to gain insight into a world that I had not yet discovered. I had high aspirations of receiving a good education and obtaining a good job when I graduated. But four years later when graduation day arrived, I felt unfulfilled. In evaluating my education, I realized that I learned how to get good, but not great grades. I learned how to study to make the most of my time. The focus I shared with many of my peers was not always to appreciate the information received, but rather,
Electrical engineers are also often educated in specializations, which makes you worth more to some companies and departments than others. Some of these specializations can vary from control systems, microprocessors, signal processing, telecommunication, et cetera. However, all of these specializations hold similar responsibilities with applying their scientific knowledge to create goods, products, installations and services to better the world around them. The nature of engineering brings forth a significant amount of overlap between fields such as mechanical and computer engineering. Engineers can apply their expertise to other fields from consulting and legal affairs, to education and human resources.
From the beginning of human existence, man has identified ways to improve the standard of living. Electricity was one of these identified ways. The development of electricity led to the creation of electrical engineering, a challenging vocation that changed and improved our way of life. In this paper I will discuss the history of electrical engineering, the preparation for becoming an electrical engineer, and the actual career.
I know that to be a successful engineer, I will have to learn much more than just academic topics, and I am prepared to do so. I know I must learn attention to detail, I must learn to make sense of hard and complex problems, I must learn to be a team player while leading along side of my co-workers, and I must learn to form the excellent technical knowledge to figure out solutions to problems. A little mishap or error can ruin
This was the first time hearing about how electricity works, at the time I was almost a junior in high school and was very interested in learning why we had never covered this subject in class. It seemed like an important thing to know, a substance what everyone uses and is even found in nature, but something that we never covered. I had no idea what a current or voltage was or how they worked together, let alone I know nothing about the digital side of it, things like a logic gate and jk flip flops sounded like something out of a science fiction movie. It was not until I started my college career that started to dive into the electrical world. To me at the time, the public school system seemed a little flawed, you could take classes on other careers such as business and economics, but the drastically increasing field of electronica’s was absent. It was not until you took classes that were designed around electronics that you would hear about them.
