Essay / My cover letter: Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Our lives would not have been as fascinating without the contribution of engineering. This has raised new questions, opened up new possibilities, reduced human efforts and improved life through new innovations. I have always been impressed by the possibilities of the ever-changing field of science and engineering, and to explore and experience it, I decided to pursue a career as an engineer. I loved learning science and mathematics from a young age and have always been curious about how the devices and machines around me work, which naturally led me to opt for a science group in 11th and 12th grades. Physics, chemistry and mathematics were the main subjects and I really enjoyed learning physics from my teacher. His classes were interesting and inspiring. And especially the chapters on electricity and semiconductors increased my curiosity to know more about electricity and electronics. I had a very good academic record and finished my schooling with 96%. Apart from studies, I actively participated in various extra-curricular activities like debates, plays, quizzes and story writing. Say no to plagiarism.

Get the original essay Choosing Electrical and Electronics Engineering for my undergraduate degree was by far one of the best decisions of my life as the subjects fell naturally within my scope of interest. Its interdisciplinary nature introduced me to various electrical and electronic concepts. Although my performance was excellent in all subjects throughout my degree, I was heavily influenced by subjects such as digital logic circuits, embedded systems, control systems and microprocessors and microcontrollers. And the strong interest in these subjects made me seize the opportunity to carry out a project financed by a Canadian company, during my final year, on the "Development of an intelligent public lighting system", which was a integrated project involving a microcontroller and simple logic circuits. The project focused on the development of an intelligent street lighting control system that controls the lighting level of LED street lights based on the movement and presence of pedestrians and vehicles. The project was successfully completed, meeting the expectations of the review committee and received an outstanding rating. I enthusiastically participated in various technical competitions during my university studies and organized a workshop on MATLAB during the university symposium of my final year. Right after my undergraduate studies, I got the opportunity to work at Robert Bosch Engineering and Business Solutions, India, as an Embedded Software Engineer. It's a great feeling when your career aligns with your interests and I experience it in my work. At Bosch I develop software modules for electronic control units (ECUs) used in cars and commercial vehicles. I was able to put into practice the theoretical concepts of networks, control systems, microcontrollers and many more. Working in this field gave me knowledge about protocols such as Controller Area Network (CAN) and Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS) and AUTOSAR architecture. As a developer, I validate the requirements; designed the code flow and program in Embedded C. I also contributed to software testing automation and process compliance, which exposed me to programming languages like Perl and Python. And I had.
