During　my　senior　year　at　Purdue　University,　I　made　a　decision　that has　impacted　the　entire　course　of　my　education.　While　my　classmates　were　making　definite　decisions　about　their　career　paths,　I　chose　to　implement　a　five-year　plan　of　development　and　growth　for　myself. I　designed　this　plan　in　order　to　examine　various　careers　that　I　thought　might　interest　me,　as　well　as　to　expand　upon　my　abilities　at the　time.　As　I　was　attaining　a　BS　degree　in　Electrical　Engineering,　I　decided　to　focus　primarily　on　fields　related　to　the　VLSI　(Very　Large-Scale　Integrated)　circuits　area.　My　main　goals　were　either　to　gain work　experience　or　to　further　my　education　by　pursuing　an　MS　degree　in　Electrical　Engineering　(MSEE).　I　saw　an　opportunity　to　both　work　and　learn　through　employment　at　Xilinx　Inc.　Operating　as　a　product　engineer　at　a　successful,　high-tech　semiconductor　company　has enabled　me　to　utilize　my　technical　and　interpersonal　skills　in　new　and　challenging　ways.　The　position　has　also　allowed　me　to　interact　with　a　multitude　of　departments　including　marketing,　integrated　circuit　(IC)　design,　software/CAD　development,　manufacturing,　reliability,　accounting,　and　sales.　I　thus　have　gained　an　array　of　experience　that　extended　beyond　the　parameters　of　my　own　responsibilities.　In　the　workplace,　I　rely　heavily　upon　the　interpersonal　techniques　I　developed　as　a　counselor　in　a　Purdue residence　hall,　as　well　as　the　organizational　skills　I　had　acquired　through　holding　various　leadership　positions　in cultural　and　engineering　societies.　I　have　also　cultivated　an　interest　in　high-technology　marketing　that　has　continued　to　grow　throughout　my　career.　My　experiences　with　Xilinx　have　heightened　my　hunger　for　knowledge　in　the　VLSI　field.　 Two　months　after　joining　the　corporation,　I　applied　to　several　part-time　programs　in　the　vicinity　that　would　allow　me　to　acquire　an　MSEE　degree　within　two　to　three　years.　San　Jose　State　seemed　an　ideal　choice,　for　its　evening　MSEE　courses　would　allow　me　to　pursue　two　independent,　full-time　positions　concurrently.　The　San　Jose　program　has　complemented　my　Xilinx　duties　well;　both　demand　large　levels　of　energy　and　enthusiasm　while guiding　me　to　my　ultimate　goal,　a　high　degree　of　education　in　VLSI　sciences.　The　resources　that　I　poured　into　both　endeavors　have reaped　many　gains.　I　have　been　promoted　to　a　Product-Yield　Engineering　position　within　Xilinx's　Coarse　Grain　Static　Memory　(CGSM)　Product　Engineering　division.　My　extensive　coursework　plays　a　key　role　in　my　continued　success　at　Xilinx.　Relevant　classes　in　advanced　digital　and　analog　VLSI　design,　as　well　as　sub-micron　ULSI　technology,　have allowed　me　to　understand　more　completely　the　workings　of　Xilinx,　a fab-less　semiconductor　company　that　also　functions　as　a　software　and hardware　design,　testing,　and　marketing　center.　The　gains　in　knowledge　I　have　made　through　the　combination　of　work　experience　and　education　have　indeed　been　exponential.　The　academic　records　of　my senior　year　at　Purdue,　coupled　with　my　MSEE　coursework,　are　ample　proof　of　my　dedication　to　learning.　I　feel　I　have　overcome　through hard work　and　dedication　to　the　brief　"dry　phase"　I　underwent　at　Purdue　during　the　close　of　my　sophomore　and　the　first　semester of　my　junior　years.　My　performance　at　that　time　is　in　no　way　indicative　of　my　usual　achievements;　they　are　instead　the　result　of　urgent　family　difficulties　that　required　much　foreign　travel　and　serious　attention　to　resolve.　In　May,　I　shall　graduate　with　an　MSEE　degree from　San　Jose　well　ahead　of　my　original　estimates.　This　early　graduation　with　Dean's　Honors　is　the　result　of　my　firm　belief　in　the　value　of　diligence,　as　well　as　my　renewed　determination　to　strive　for　perfection　in　both　work　and　school.　 I　am　now　embarking　on　another　five-year　plan,　during　which　I　hope　to　fulfill　several　specific　career goals.　For　instance,　being　part　of　a　very　dynamic　and　results-oriented　Yield　team　at　Xilinx　calls　for　continuous　development　of　computational　and　statistical　techniques.　The　Yield　team　is　divided　to　focus　on specific　process/fabrication　issues　and　process　(manufacturing)　optimization.　My　own　position　is　an　integral　part　of　the　optimization　group.　Speed　and　cost　issues　continue　to　press　high　technology　atmospheres towards　optimization,　probability　and　stochastic　processes　and　systems, and　rigorous　simulations　of　mathematical　models.　The　MS　in　EES&OR　offered　at　your　university　will　grant　me　the　statistical　knowledge　that is　crucial　for　process　and　production　optimization　in　a　fab-less　environment.　 In　addition,　product　engineering　requires　fundamental　research on　mathematical　models　for　linear　and　non-linear　programming,　as　well as　the　utilization　of　efficient　computer　software.　I　continuously　employ the　knowledge　I　gained　at　Purdue　in　Operations　Research　and　advanced　mathematics　courses.　Yet　despite　the　value　of　these　classes　and　my　high　performance　in　them,　I　now　require　further　education　to　best　fulfill　my　duties.　An　MS　in　the　EES&OR　field,　will　give　me knowledge　that　is　invaluable　to　a　career　in　product　development,　project　management　and　strategic　planning.　The　program　will　allow　me　to　improve　decision-making　skills　in　operations,　strategy,　and　policy　issues.　I　will　strengthen　my　theory　and　application　in　countless　areas:　continuous,　discrete,　numerical　optimization;　probabilistic　and　stochastic　processes;　dynamic　systems　and　simulation;　economics,　finance,　and　investment;　decision　analysis;　dynamic　programming　and　planning　under　uncertainty;　operations　and　service ;　corporate　and　individual　strategy;　and　private　and　public　policy　issues.　Thus,　the　EES&OR　program　will　not only　help　me　to　excel　at　Xilinx　but　will　also　further　any　future　career.　 My　commitment　to　work　and　education　over　the　last　three　years　proves　that　I　will　pursue　this　MS　with　enthusiasm　and　zeal.　The technical　edge　that　the　MS　would provide　is　incomparable.　Since　I　will　be　working　while　attending　Stanford,　I　shall　mingle　education　with practical　application,　and　bring　to　the　table　interesting　problems　from my　experience　and　past　education.　Technical　challenges　encountered　through　projects　in　the　EES&OR　program　will　provide　motivation　and　opportunity　for　methodological　innovation.　The　data　collection,　processing　and　presentation　issues　presented　are　integral　to　my　future　goals, and　the　management　challenges　raised　will　provide　invaluable　experience　for　professional　practice.　This　will　in　turn　build　a　solid　foundation　for　a　life-long　career　that　can　overcome　any　problem　in　decision-making.　In　addition,　taking　courses　in　economics,　finance,　and　investment analysis　will　allow　much　growth　of　knowledge　in　investment　issues　in different　industries.　The　EES&OR　program　thus　appeals　not　only　to　my　engineering,　economics,　science　and　mathematical　background,　but will　complement　my　technical　abilities　with　the　conceptual　frameworks  needed　to　analyze　problems　in　operations, production,　strategic　planning, and　marketing　in　the　realm　of　semiconductor/IC/engineering　systems.

I　feel　that　I　am　prepared　to　meet　the　challenges　of　the　curriculum.　My　coursework　in　intermediate　microeconomics　and　macroeconomics, international　trade,　operations　research,　linear　algebra,　and　probabilistic　methods,　along　with　my　extensive　calculus　background,　will　allow　me  to　function　well　within　the　program.　My　long-term　career　goals　include　a　move　into　marketing　and　product　management.　I　believe　that　attaining　this　MS　degree　is　the　cornerstone　to　achieving　my　goals.　It　will　give　me　the　academic　background　necessary　to　succeed　in　product　development,　project　management,　and　strategic　planning.　It　will　improve　decision-making　skills　necessary　for　optimizing　performance.　The　integration　of　two　excellent　programs　in　Economics　Systems　and　Operations　Research　thus　suits　my　current　position　and　ties　in　with　future　goals　perfectly　by　improving　decision　making　in　operations,　strategy　and　policy.　

At　present　I　desire　to　continue　at　Xilinx;　attending　a　program　that provides　the　flexibility　and　convenience　of　the　SITN,　is　therefore　imperative.　Hence,　being　at　Stanford　as　an　HCP　student　also　attracts　me.　I　believe　that　Stanford　is　the　best　environment　for　me　to　achieve　my　goals　while　gaining　exposure　to　and　experience　with　a　diverse　student　body　and　faculty.　It　is　my　belief　that　one　continues　to　learn　throughout　one's　life,　and　the　most　effective　method　of　learning　is　through　interaction　with　others.　Stanford's　diversity　offers　an environment　for　learning,　both　inside　and　outside　the　classroom.　I　hope　to　share　my　varied　knowledge　with　my　classmates　and　to　take  from　them　a　new　understanding　of　topics　that　are　foreign　to　me.  I　believe　that　no　other　school　provides　students　with　the　combination　of　education　and　environment　offered　by　Stanford.　Its　outstanding academic　reputation,　mingled　with　its　diverse　environment　and　thriving Bay　Area　location,　creates　an　opportunity　for　growth　that　is　second to　none.　I　have　many　ambitions　for　myself　as　I　embark　on　this　stage　of　my　life.　I　believe　that　an　education　from　Stanford　will　provide　invaluable　experiences　and　skills　that　will　allow　me　to　become　a  successful　and　innovative　business　leader　in　the　new　millennium.
