Statement of Purpose

By WANG Shujun

M.Sc. (Industrial & Systems Engineering)

National University of Singapore

As far as I am concerned, I deem myself ‘a man of thought’. It is my constant thinking that has been inspiring my appetite for and persevering pursuit of knowledge. Further, it is through such a pursuit that I have been tempering myself and adding value to my life.

Over the past three years, I received extensive training which was both rigorous and vigorous in my chosen field of subject, thereby obtaining not only a thorough understanding of a wide variety of fundamental issues pertinent to electric power generation, transmission and distribution, but also a sound technical background in electro-technics and electronics, computer science and system and control engineering. In the heavy and competitive coursework, I relied on arduous efforts and efficacious study strategies to maintain an average overall GPA of nearly 3.5/5 [or 85/100 in accordance with the grading system of our university]. This contributed to my being bestowed with an array of academic awards including several different types of scholarships on the one hand and, on the other hand, perhaps more importantly, qualified me as one of very few students within our department to attend the ‘Outstanding Engineers Class’ [an educational programme designed specifically to train high calibre engineering talents in possession of strong theoretical and hands-on abilities]. My excellent performance during the undergraduate time has convinced me that I will produce equally fruitful scholarly work in my proposed degree programme if I set my mind to it.
