Name of the University Program Semester

: University Of Bridge Port, : Masters in Electrical Engineering, : Spring 2013.

__________________________________________________________________________________ I am a student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering at AVS College of Engineering & Technology, Nellore. I wish to pursue masters in Electrical Engineering offered by the Department of Electrical Engineering at your University. Areas of Interest: Of the many fields in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering spectrum like Electronic Devices and Circuits, Network theory, STLD, EMF, Electro Mechanics, Power Systems, Control systems, Electrical Measurements, Power Electronics . I am interested in Electrical Machines. In particular, I am interested in Transformers. Immediate Goals: I plan to work towards a Masters with a focus on Transformers. I would like to follow up on my interest in Electrical Machines thorough my course work. I feel that this should be my next step to my road to a Graduate career in Electrical Engineering. Academic Background: Throughout 12 years of schooling, I had always been among the top 20% ranking students in the class. Currently with 62.68% in my B.Tech I was among the top 25% of the students of my batch in the Institute. Preparation for Graduate Study: My undergraduate preparation at the Electrical & Electronics Engineering Department at AVS College of Engineering & Technology, Nellore has given me a very substantial knowledge of the basic areas of Electrical & Electronics Engineering. Any amount of learning in Electrical & Electronics Engineering would be incomplete without hands on experience of real time in industries. In this regard I completed various mini projects both out my own interest and also as a part of some of my courses. My senior year dissertation under Mr. Nagoor kani.A is titled Thyristorised Power Controller for Industrial Applications in Real-time environment. In any industry power supplied to the load varies from time to time. In this project by using thyristor based equipment we can control the power. Power can be changed by changing voltage, current, power factor. In this project we can control the power by varying voltage by using AC Voltage Controller. Regular triggering is done with the triggering unit. By using triggering angle, voltage supplied is controlled to the thyristor. Summing Up: I am aware of the hard work and perseverance necessary for masters work and I know that it is not always as exciting as the published results seem to indicate. Nevertheless, I am sure that my aptitude and drive will see me through the challenge. Looking forward to joining your university.
