I have always been fascinated by the power of the human brain to analyse, define and solve problems. That fascination turned into a deep interest in integrated circuits: tiny electronic chips, which revolutionized the world of electronics upon their advent. Microcontroller and microprocessor-based systems have helped us solve real-world problems similar to a human brain. These facts motivated me to undertake my graduate studies in electrical engineering and opt for a challenging career in embedded system design. My decision to pursue a Master's in Embedded Systems is the result of an unquenchable desire to improve my knowledge, building on the insights gained throughout my career. As part of the undergraduate curriculum, I undertook extensive coursework and laboratory sessions in subjects such as “Digital System Design” and “Microprocessors and Microcontrollers”. It helped me develop my academic project “Greenhouse Monitoring and Control System”. This efficient microcontroller-based system can monitor and control, in real time, all critical physical parameters within a greenhouse such as temperature, light, humidity and soil moisture. The project has received huge appreciation from scientists at KFRI (Kerala Forest Research Institute), India, for its successful demonstration at the greenhouse of their orchid nursery. I was offered an interesting career in embedded systems right after I graduated. Working as a hardware design engineer for the past 3.5 years, I have had hands-on experience in designing and testing analog/digital electronic circuits. I have acquired the technical knowledge and skills essential to excel as an engineering professional. Major Responsibilities… halfway through the document… decided to apply to this program as I want to enroll in a graduate program with a primary focus on developing application-oriented knowledge in students. A few years later In this context, as a young graduate, I would like to see myself proactively contributing to the semiconductor industry in India. The industry in India, to a large extent, is still driven by the outsourcing business. The effort and resources invested in actual research and development are minimal. Major progress in this field is only hampered by the fact that India lacks people with the right expertise and vision. I will use the exposure and experience gained during my graduate studies to initiate change in this direction. I firmly believe that graduate study at UoAS Bremerhaven will help me pursue a progressive career in the field of embedded systems.
