Statement of Purpose

I wish to introduce myself as Saifullah Khan a prospective student aspiring to pursue my Masters in Electrical Engineering for 2013. With impressive feedback from my seniors studying in your esteemed institution and while perusing the Internet extensively I gathered valuable information on the courses listed by you. This made me choose your institution, the best offering this course. Technology and its myriad aspects fascinate me! Specifically the Electrical Power stream that pervades all areas of business in todays world. Power is an emerging and continuously evolving field and we have seen constant growth more so in the past decade. It also inspired generations now, scientists and engineers are working on concepts that will become applications in various fields. I have focused my academic pursuits towards this end. Power is the backbone for modern day industry and research. As a school student, I have had a strong aptitude for Science related subjects with a constant urge to experiment and try out new things. With family members in the engineering profession who became my role models, I burnt the midnight oil to prove my mettle with successful results. I scored an excellent overall grade of A that made it easy to pursue my dream of becoming an Electrical Engineer. I went on to pursue my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from a reputed University. I am happy to state that I obtained Very Good scores across my entire school and engineering days. Like a duck in the water I was quickly absorbing and assimilating information and knowledge in topics like Electrical Machines, Power Electronics, Power Engineering and Analog & Digital Communication to name a few. I put in concerted efforts on very front starting from academic pursuits, sports activities and social initiatives besides equipping myself with required skill set. Being an avid reader I constantly keep myself abreast with the latest technology up-gradation and research topics that not only broadened my horizons but exposed me to the latest global strides in the area of magnetic levitation. I devised a presentation and delivered a lecture at a state level seminar/symposium. It was an eye-opener as I went in-depth to understand the time management related to this area and its value in the modern day World. I also did a project on designing and implementing of a solar charger enlightening the need of renewable energy sources in this energy crisis facing modern World. In the future I see myself as person who can contribute to advancements in power system design and control that will result in dramatic reductions in cost with increased power. I would like to gain foothold in downscaling line losses, investigating new materials to control it and to design a system free of it. My goal is to come back to my country with adequate knowledge and experience gained so as to harness my expertise in this area. I bring along a strong grasp of fundamentals in distribution of power, generation and its transmission, a sound knowledge in electric machines a penchant for teamwork, leadership abilities, building a network of strong and lasting relationships with teachers, fellow students with constant thirst for new challenges. I strongly feel that Masters of Science in Power Engineering from the Technical University of Munich is a highly structured program because it provides the right balance between theory and practice. A premier seat of knowledge and information derived from the cream of intelligentsia coupled with excellent infrastructure is where I would get ample opportunities to apply my knowledge and develop robust models/tools. I write to you with the earnest that my background and qualifications will be found suitable for admission to this prestigious program, Masters of Science in Power engineering from your University. I am confident that I will do proud to your Institute.
