My deep interest in Electrical Engineering has provided me with a focus to my life that many people search a lifetime for but never find. XX University’s Ph.D. program in Electrical Engineering is the perfect fit for my aptitudes and for my future career as a university professor and professional researcher, and it is my sincere desire to continue my studies at your honorable university. At the beginning of my university studies I was searching for direction. I tried many different areas including electric motor control design, and I conducted research on micro-motor drive controls. I learned to develop a sound, methodological approach to control circuit design. This area was underdeveloped in China, and initially it seemed that I had found my focus. After graduating from university, I went to work for XX, one of the best and most progressive companies in China. As an engineer, I learned the latest technologies in micro-processing systems, personal responsibility and teamwork. But the longer I worked at XX, the more dissatisfied I became. I found that the work was repetitive and techniques were simply copied from others – there was little room for innovation. Discouraged, I knew that I needed to find another direction where I could pursue my own creative development, so I returned to XX a research assistant in the Advanced Control and Simulation research laboratory. Using C language and Matlab, I worked on flight system simulations, automatic drive modeling and system identification, but as I studied and worked at XX, I realized that what I was learning was too limited and out of date. I became even more determined to study abroad. Currently I am working towards my Master’s Degree in XX, where I have finally found my motivating field of interest. My major is in the theory and applications of nonlinear control, which involves research into the ability to
