I now submit this personal statement to apply for Electronic and Electrical Engineering. My strong interest in this field was inspired as early as my primary years at school by my aunt. When I was young, she always bought some kinds of electrical kits for me. Then, when I finished my schoolwork, I often took out the kits and jointed the circuit elements. At that time I was really keen on this kind of way to entertain myself and the various functions of different elements and combinations fascinated me. Since I attended junior school and started to learn physics formally, I voraciously read the textbooks and tried to understand the key points, even though sometimes it was hard to understand some of the worked examples or memorize all the definitions given. I also turned to my physics teacher for help when I had problems doing electrical experiments. With my growing interest in physics, especially electrical engineering, I decided to come to this international school, to explore more about this subject because traditional Chinese schools do not offer such courses.
During my one and a half years in Cardiff and Vale College (Shanghai Centre), I worked diligently on my AS test subjects; Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Economics, and the test results were very good. I also realized the importance of knowledge outside the books as I know Electronic and Electrical Engineering is a subject more than formulae and theorems. To achieve a variety of skills that this major requires, I attended several extra-curricular activities which helped me better apply what I have learnt. I joined the British Physics Olympiad in order to train my logical thinking and become more skilled in the using of different formulae. Meanwhile, I attended a Robot club to understand the application of electrical principles. In that club, I learnt a lot of things that I couldn’t learn from the course book. I also attended the annual Avogadro Exam of Chemistry and I placed 1490th in the world, out of nearly 5000 participants.
As well as the practical experiences closely related to Electronic and Electrical Engineering, I also have read a number of articles which relate to this major in order to trace the development of electrical theories at the frontier of this subject. Michael Faraday is the first scientist introduced to me by my physics teacher as a part of the development of electrical science. His theory of electromagnetic induction was very fascinating to me and opened a door to electrical science for me.
As I acknowledge more academic theories, I realize that Electronic and Electrical Engineering is more than a subject on paper. This subject is not restricted to electricity. In order to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the inside meaning of this course and myself as a man facing the unlimited cosmos of knowledge, I also have read many books on Electrical Engineering by many various experts in this field. The way Electrical Engineering explains the theories really encourages me to explore deeper in the sea of knowledge. I do hope I can explore more of this fascinating subject at a UK university.
