Some of my comments are left in italic.
I am interested in Biomedical Engineering as a field to pursue my
career in. I find its unique mix of Engineering,
Medicine and Life Sciences very exciting. It is a fast growing
area with tremendous potential for research and also an increasing
number of applications in today's world of medicine and
technology. I am paricularly interested in the application of
microsystems technology and the latest microelectronics technology
in developing implanted biomedical devices and other medical
products. My research interests lie primarily in the areas of
Smart Sensors and Integrated Microsystems. My parallel areas of
interest are the design and fabrication of Biomaterials and
determining the mechanical, transport and biocompatability
properties of implantable artificial materials and the
applications of Biomedical Instrumentation. To help you understand
my current professional goals and research interests better, I
would like to first explain my educational experience up to this
point.
I have recently graduated from the Electrical and Computer
Engineering department at XX University where I completed a
non-thesis Masters program in Computer Engineering. My decision to
pursue graduate studies in Computer Engineering was the natural
culmination of my undergraduate coursework in Electrical and
Electronics Engineering where I majored in Computer Organization
and Microcomputer Systems. Also, I wanted to broaden my horizons
and gain relevant exposure in the field of Computer Hardware.
During the one and a half years of my graduate studies I gained a
deep understanding of various fields in Computer Engineering
mainly microarchitecture, VLSI System Design ,Analog Electronics
and the fundamentals of computer networking and communication. As
part of my graduate coursework, I received a number of
opportunities to work closely with semiconductor technology
through various design, implementation and research projects.
Working on key projects like the design of a 4-bit slice
microprocessor, 6-bit FLASH Analog-to-Digtal Converters and a
number of simulations and experiments to design and determine the
performance of computers at the microarchitecture level, I got the
opportunities to use state-of-the-art hardware design and
simulation tools like the Cadence , Synopsys, Hspice and Verilog.
It was during this phase that I developed an interest in exploring
the areas of application of semiconductor and microsystems
technology in non traditional fields like the Medicine and life
sciences. My studies revealed to me both a high research potential
and a significant growth in the application of microelectronics
and microsystems in the field of Biomedical Engineering. What I
discovered significantly improved my understanding of the subject
and further enhanced my fascination for it.
[Have you worked on any particular research projects? If yes,
definitely elaborate on this. Are you interested in any particular
faculty at W.University? If yes, definitely mention it.]
I look forward to a career in committed research where I can not
only use my academic background to achieve my research goals but
also make original scientific contributions to my field of
interest and to mankind in general. I believe that graduate
studies would provide me with the opportunities to attend advanced
courses and be the stepping stone to my career in research.
Graduate study at Wayne State University holds this promise for
me. The quality of the faculty, flexibility of the graduate
program, the diverse areas of ongoing research, the carefully
designed depth and breadth of courses, cultural diversity in the
graduate school, seem to me as the right ambience to nurture my
research interests and work towards my goal. It would be a matter
of great pride for me to be a part of this rich interdisciplinary
interface [This is all very general ideas and your statement
needs to be personal, about you. Plus next paragraph gives praise
to the university and one paragraph is plenty, so I would suggest
eliminating this paragraph altogether or partially adding it to
the last one]
My strengths are a strong academic background, sense of teamwork,
integrity and ability to put in sustained quality effort
consistently . It is my desire to have a mutually beneficial
association with your University and to contribute my best to the
field of Biomedical Engineering .I am aware that X University has
high standards for admitting students to its graduate programs. I
believe that my academic credentials together with my research
interests and potential would help me gain admission to the
esteemed Department of Biomedical Engineering at X Universuty. I
hope that on reviewing my application package, the University
would be convinced of the same. [You might want to change your
last paragraph, especially last two sentences. It needs to be more
powerful, not hopefull. See examples on my website. I would
rewrite this paragraph altogether.]
