7. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: E CPE - Computer Engineering / MS

Please submit a statement of purpse of up to 500 words.

Primarily, explain:

your purpose for starting or continuing graduate study

why you want to study at Iowa State Universityyour professional plans, your career goals, and your research interestsany experience that is particularly appl icable to the program for which you're applying

Secondarily, elaborate on:

any irregularities or special circumstances applicable to your applicationyour special abi lities, awards, achievements, scholarly publications, and professional history as it relates to the program ofinterestany prior research information, or contact with specific Iowa State program faculty

(You may cut and paste text.)

Statement of PurposeSince my school days, I was magnetized by the role electronics played in our day to day lives, which engendered me in takingup Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering. However my genuine pursuit of electronics occurred during the first yearof my undergraduate, when I made a simple Bipolar Junction Transistor checking device. As a reward, my college professordecided to implement it in our departments Analog and Electronic Circuit Design Lab. In subsequent years of myundergraduate, the versatility and profound nature of electronics, in particular of Embedded domain made it even moreinteresting and sparked a desire to explore it further. I now wish to delve further into this area of research during my Mastersat IOWA State University.

My academic experiences have refined and explored my vision towards Electronics and Computer Engineering. Classes inDigital Design, Microprocessors and Peripherals and 'Microcontrollers' introduced me to Logic designs, ComputerArchitecture, Assembly codes, On Chip Resources and Programming. While, Embedded System classes further aided me inunderstanding Embedded processors, Real time operating System and Embedded Software Architecture.

The major highlight of my Bachelors was a project in the field of Embedded Systems, titled as A Digital Stethoscope with CADanalysis, under the guidance of Prof. Veeresh P. M., during my final year. The purpose of this project was to design andimplement a digital stethoscope to serve as a platform for potential computer aided diagnosis (CAD) for the detection ofcardiac murmurs. The system used a custom-built sensor to capture heart sounds and convert them to electrical signals to beprocessed by a microcontroller. The captured signals were further processed for real-time auscultation. Keypad and widedisplay were used as user interface and Mickro C was used as the software for user interface. Real-time and recorded datacould also be visualized using a MATLAB software interface that would be running on a separate PC, connected via serial

interface with microcontroller. The interface was also used to the transmit data to calculate and display the patients averageheart rate in beats per minute.My undergraduate experience has provided a glimpse into the world of research. It has served as a catalyst for my efforts togo beyond the fundamentals towards graduate studies for greater intellectual satisfaction. At IOWA State University,Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, my interest closely aligns with Dr.Morris Changs research interestaiming at Embedded system and development of Architectural support for Java systems and Dr. Phillip Joness researchfocus on Adaptable computing systems, reconfigurable hardware, and embedded systems.

I present myself as a student who is goal oriented, hardworking and has the necessary analytical skills to conduct research. Iam sure, the quality knowledge and impeccable guidance will mold me to be in the learning mode all my life, opening way forconstant growth as a person and as a professional. Therefore, I request you to consider me a worthy applicant for the MS inComputer Engineering at IOWA State University.
