# MS Engineering Management

[NAME]

"All of us do not have equal talent. But, all of us have an equal opportunity to develop our talents." — A P J Abdul Kalam

I am deeply impressed and inspired by Dr. Kalam's journey from a small village boy to a great scientist and president. While reading his books, I have embraced courage, confidence, and determination. I have always wanted to be something like him. I have also discovered through my reading that modern entrepreneurs have all fought to improve our lives through the use of technology. As a result, I decided to study engineering a long time ago and took advantage of every opportunity to discover how machinery in our daily lives operated. Engineering is about mastering technology and tools, but managing them is an art and a challenge that can only be learned through engineering management. Management is necessary at all levels, from the individual to the institutional. We are all managers of our time, money, and all we own, and we will all learn to master it one day.

Owing to my interest in engineering, I decided to pursue Engineering in Computer Science. I struggled in my first year of undergrad and started doing more hard work, which helped me get good marks in the rest of the 6 semesters, and I ended up getting an 8.50 CGPA in the 8th semester and an overall score of 6.69 CGPA. I worked with perseverance to hone my technical proficiency. Being just accustomed to various programming languages is just not enough sometimes. The grip of it, to have the flair to use it also matters. I can thus put forth the fact that I have tried my best to indulge in my skill development in languages like Python, C, C++, C#, .Net Core, HTML, JS, Angular, and even Azure, Oracle, MSSQL, and Redis. While enriching my knowledge, I have also received certifications for my technical abilities.

In my final project, Society Identification System, I was stuck in back-end development. I did a plethora of research, got rid of my problems, and completed my project within the deadline.

I have worked at [COMPANY] as a Python Developer. During this internship, I developed a project, Malaria Detection, which has an efficiency of around 67%. The second internship I did as Campus Ambassador at [COMPANY], where my role was to do cold calling, lead generation, and selling products. I have developed client-facing skills, communication skills, and interpersonal communication. I have also made a plethora of posters and videos to promote the company's product.

I have completed a variety of training and internships that have assisted me in developing or improving my interpersonal skills. Whenever I encounter a customer problem, I must handle and learn how to deal with client rejection and turn it into a sale.

I have actively participated in many extracurricular activities like workshops, seminars, and webinars and done different training and internships. During graduation, I had the opportunity to teach the children of a non-profit organization run by my university. During that time, I discovered my leadership and communication abilities. I was voted Class Representative and led a group of 50 students for two semesters, resolving their issues. Besides being a part of these adventures, I would like to mention that my college certainly helped me develop my overall persona, be it in the field of knowledge, technical field, or even my leadership and communication qualities. This has led me to build a firmer grip on and personify my identity. My graduation course did not just help me grasp theoretical concepts but ensured that I could fulfill the requirements of perfection in the functional area.

Engineering management is a discipline that began in the United States. As a result, that is the most excellent place to learn about it. I discovered that the program offered by [UNIVERSITY] best matches my career goals after exploring the websites of numerous universities in the United States. I am particularly drawn to research programs like [PROGRAM], which are directly related to my areas of interest. I want to pursue a Master's in Engineering Management because it will provide me the path to achieve my long-term goal of Chief Technology Officer. As I am from a tech background, any technical degree with management modules will help me understand the working of any organization. The technical module will help me update my knowledge with all the latest technology.

The United States boasts a thriving cultural scene, a growing economy, and a high degree of competence in humanities, science, and technology disciplines. As a result, I want to pursue this course in the United States, where renowned academics will guide me with access to world-class research facilities. In a setting like this, I will be exposed to new skills and ideas daily, allowing me to grow into a management expert with practically limitless potential.

The Master's program in Engineering Management will be a significant step toward bridging the gap between who I am and whom I want to be, namely, a techno-commercial entrepreneur in India, where indigenous technology development opportunities abound and a trained expert workforce is readily available. Above all, the MS program will provide me with the opportunity to work with competent professors and compete against international students, preparing me to face the challenges of the real world. I eagerly await the admissions committee's affirmative response, which will allow me access to [UNIVERSITY]'s portals.
