Sample SOP for Telecommunication and Networking / Electronics and Communication

“Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavors … never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations”.
To skim through these quotes daily, said by one of the greatest minds ever, made my mind incline towards a goal that thrives in achieving perfection in whatever field I choose. 

The “Information Revolution” and the dramatic advances in telecommunications technology, which has made this possible, currently drive the global economy in large part. As wireless networks become more advanced and far-reaching, we are redefining the notion of connectivity and the possibilities of communications technology. This is what inspired my interest in Telecommunication and Networking and motivated me to take up Electronics and Communication for my Bachelor’s Degree in order to develop basic theoretical, career-oriented understanding of Telecommunications.

After graduating high school ,I got admitted in an institution which was well renowned for its academic excellence and stood first among all other colleges in my state within the first year of its inception. I enrolled at _____College of Engineering and Technology, affiliated to ______, becoming an active member and constantly updating myself and keeping at par with the competitive world.

During the course of my undergraduate study I was exposed to various courses with applications like Electromagnetic field, Linear Integrated Circuits, Electronics Circuits, Pulse and digital circuits, Digital Signal Processing, Micro processors & Micro Controllers, Optical Communication, Data Communication Networks, Wireless & Mobile Communication, Satellite Communication, Electronic Switching etc. which formed the base for my well sculpted Undergraduate. Out of the box thinking was always one of my strongest qualities, which enabled me to learn lots of new topics progressively. Without being content of what was being taught in college I always ventured into the open to learn about the innovative inventions we encounter in our everyday life. 

I attempted 2 projects in the final year in the area of communication, which are “Voice/data communication system using laser beam” and “ Motion sensor based security system” – both of which were highly successful. My inclination towards communications and signal processing turned into a deep-rooted interest mainly after I came across the courses - Analog communications, and Principles of Communication and Communication systems in my junior year. Through these courses, I learnt about the mathematical power of "Transforms", about the kinds of "Modulations" and the reasons for their use, about “Quantization" and its applications in telephone networks, about frame synchronization etc.

I was involved in other extra curricular activities such as Robotics Workshop . Was involved in Robotics Workshop by Robosapiens India as a Event Coordinator in Zonal round of ROBOTYST’S 2010) . Secured consolation prize for in Creativity and Poster making Competition at national level.An Inter Collegiate”AD MAD SHOW” Secured 1^st minutes Film/video making Competition at S.D. College of Management Studies, India. I won accolades at Technological Working Model in International Conference on “Recent Trends in Management, Technology &Environment” at ____. I had created a model named “Reflica” depicting an Eco – Friendly society.

As I have developed deeper into my subjects, I became aware of the importance of practical experience. After great scrutiny of, my academic credentials and aptitude, I was accepted as an Intern at _________,  Company. Here I was the part of the offshore communication section where they taught us how to communicate with the oil field. I interacted with the engineers from the Network department of the company. This inspired me to do a project on Antenna System & Network Design”. The project aimed to learn the working of the Antenna System in the different areas of oil sectors in the field and how their Network is linked with Satellite and with Antenna Links. The training was focused on the Antenna Systems & Network Design. Later on I was placed at _____  as a Field Engineer in Construction Field, worked on installation of Optical Fiber Cables, its Project Planning, Execution of the work and other construction work – this gave me a lot of real time experience. Meanwhile I attempted GRE and IELTS to further give validity to my ambition. My scores are – ___________

As we march into the next millennium of Science and Technology, we face the intriguing problem of colossal demand for high speed Communication and Networking systems. My final objective is to secure a challenging position in an organization actively involved in research and development of high performance signal processing and networking systems which would cater to he needs of tomorrow. I firmly believe that pursuing graduate studies at your esteemed University will help me fulfill my ambition to be able to make significant contribution to advancement in the field of Science and Technology someday. I have gone through your website and online student forums and I have learned about the collaborative environment at the University and realize that I have an opportunity where I can interact with talented students, teachers and industry professionals. I believe that I will be able to contribute to and learn from the academically challenging environment at the University. I am hoping to hear a positive reply from you.
