  1. Kindly take a look at my SOP and please post your comments at the earliest as deadlines are hitting . Thank You Study Plan Amanda Sharon DSouza Since childhood I have been quite fascinated by the sensing ability of the touch-me-not plant. Being too small to reason out what really happens I finally convinced myself to believe that it was pure magic. As I grew up the same magic was everywhere, in computers and electronics and that’s when I decided to pioneer my interests sharply in this field respectively. To start with initially when I took up my Bachelors degree in electrical and electronics engineering at BMS Institute of Technology, India I had no idea about what I would really want to do until I attended my first course in micro electrical and mechanical systems. This gave me a sharp surge and hence I decided to make it my career. Over the course of four years at BMSIT I have learned subjects such as logic design, signals and systems, power electronics and analog circuits to name a few which has now made me ready to raise the bar. In each of these I often raised a lot of questions and would be convinced only with a valid proof. Academically, I hold the sixth place in a class of sixty two. Further, under the guidance of Mr. Prashanth Athavale , assistant professor of the department of electrical and electronics engineering, BMSIT I have presented a technical paper titled “Graphene versus silicon: A Survey” at a National Level Conference on “Emerging Trends in Power Electronics” held at BMSIT in 2013. Various areas where in graphene could be more beneficial than the traditional silicon, especially in photovoltaic cells and upcoming research activities were revisited. Additionally I have also done technical seminars on digital jewelry, cryptography and fast Fourier transforms, concentrating on its use in image processing proving my interest once again in this domain. I have also participated in Schneider Electric’s Go Green Challenge 2014, and idea to improve efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles. To bridge the gap between bookish and practical knowledge I undertook two in plant trainings, one at National Thermal Power Plant (NTPC), India wherein I was given a chance to familiarize with load commutated inverter systems (LCI) and power plant operation and control. The other was at Delta Constructions Co. W.L.L, Kingdom of Bahrain. Here I was given the opportunity to know about various electrical fittings and I a week working at the electrical quantity surveying department. Currently I am doing my final year project on “Railway Automation using Programmable Logic Controller”. This covers accurate train approaching detection, alarm, anti-collision between trains as well as indication of a vehicular breakdown between railway gates. My free time is invested in familiarizing myself with Ubuntu and programming ardunio uno.During my seventh semester I have been campus recruited by Capgemini Pvt. Ltd. And Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Apart from academics I have completed grades one to five in classical piano and have taken part in circuit debugging at the college fest namely “Utsaha”. I strongly believe that in today’s 21st century, the integration of cross fields has scaled up significantly. Being appreciated in class for my efficient programming skills and passion towards electronics I am affirmative that the International Graduate Program offered by the Department of electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Nationa Chiao Tung University will certainly play the fore front in shaping my future. Alongside the combination of subjects offered and that too English makes it an all-round package to make me industry ready. I am well convinced by the feedbacks received from this college, the outstanding faculty back grounds, their research expertise and its location in the Hsinchu science park has certainly left me with an insistent desire to be a part of it.Above all the opportunity of being able to follow your passion with the opportunity to obtain a scholarship at NCTU makes it a dream come true for any international student, particularly me.In the years to come I would like to work in a fabrication house tackling design, manufacturing and packaging problems of semiconductor devices and aim to pursue a Post Doctorate thereafter . Admission to the International Graduate Program at National Chiao Tung University would be a privilege which I hope to honor through hardwork and distinguishing my self as an innovative creator of the future.I sincerely thank the selection committee for taking their time out to read my study plan.
