转专业申请之personalstatement模板.doc

太傻有人曾经发了个PS的大致结构,帖子我翻不出来了,但是具体内容我有记录,可以供给参考:

1 开门见山:专业
2 个人信息(本科所在学校学院专业,就读时间,知名度)
3 为什么申这个专业,为什么对他感兴趣
4 个人学术经历(主要课程领域,学到什么,能力,特点,你的潜力是什么)
5 学术外的经历(以与申请专业相关的为上)
6 以后打算做什么(专业的未来发展)
7 结尾

下面是我申Nottingham和Edinburgh地理信息科学专业的草稿,算转专业吧,但是要说服对方,所以我找了些自动化(或者说我做的一些东西)与这个学科的共鸣点(虽然感觉纯粹就是在强拉亲戚关系),做个参考吧,希望有用.

中文稿：
我自2005年9月份起就读于国内一所211理工大学—XX大学，并将于明年六月完成四年的本科课程学习并电气学院自动化系取得学士学位。在大学的学习中，专业知识给了我很好的基础技能铺垫，而兴趣则给了我引导的方向，出于对地理信息专业的热爱，我无时不刻地关注着这个方向，并且努力将我所学与该专业结合。如今本科即将毕业，在此我特别申请赴贵校攻读地理信息专业的硕士学位。
在大学生活之前，我曾经到过国内的几座大城市，诸如深圳、上海、南京，我发现城市和发展均伴随着交通和民用基本设施的发达，我也发现在这些方面的管理与维护都需要大量的人工，比如道路交通信息的采集，生活用水用气的管理，我原以为随着自动化的发展能够有效地解决这些问题，于是选择了自动化作为我本科学习的专业，但后来，随着对自动化专业知识和地理信息科学学科的进一步了解，我发现自动控制装置的实现更多依赖于信息采集管理与数据分析建模，于是我又选择了自动检测作为自己的专业主修方向，并自修了离散数学、 数据库原理等课程，努力培养自己具备地信专业所需要的知识积淀，以求能够进入该方向进行深入学习。
本科期间，我努力学习了自动控制理论、传感器与检测技术、数字信号处理及控制系统仿真等课程，获取了所学专业方向扎实的基础，培养了自己作为一名工科学生应有的分析与建模能力，此外通过自修课程完成了包括语言程序设计、数据库和数据库工程师的国内计算机等级资格证书，所有的经历都培养了我快速渗入其他领域学习的能力，整个学习过程中，我逐步培养和完善了适合自身的学习方法，并在本专业的学习中得到了印证，在成绩上取得很大进步并获得奖学金。
通过学校的课程我了解到传感器在信息搜集中的广泛应用，并且通过参加系内举办的机器人比赛对传感器系统进行了深入了解，在为期半年的机器人设计中，我利用资料和实验研究掌握在现实中传感器信息采集情况的第一手数据，通过这次比赛，我和我的队伍对各种传感器，如光电码盘，光敏传感器，红外传感器等进行了更深层的了解和研究，通过对不同环境下的传感器进行测试建立了一系列的模型，并根据比赛中的实际情况进行了模拟和算法设计最终取得了比赛的第二名。。出于对环境和能源的爱好，我又组织队伍以“太阳能电动自行车设计”为题参加学校的创新科技竞赛，籍此对太阳能电池系统进行深入研究，并了解到环境能源在以新科技中的应用。
在其他方面，我也极力拓宽自己的视野，兴趣作为我最好的老师，向往通才发展的个性让我积极参加学校的各种比赛并取得各种奖项，另外，还通过加入学生会进行工作使我获得了组织各种活动及管理和服务的技能。
我怀抱着学习的心态，希望得到贵专业的青睐，并能够有机会在享有盛誉的地理学院得到修学的机会以提高自己。我希望我能掌握到地理信息科学的前沿知识，并能够在未来进入环境管理及城市建设规划领域的工作。

English Version：

I will graduate from XX University as a Bachelor of Engineering in Automation in July 2009. The fast growing demands of public utilities such as water and power supply makes their resources planning, monitoring, and maintenance much more complex than ever before. Geographical information system becomes a much more useful tool for virtualization on any resource development and management. That encourages me to continue my graduate study major in the GIS at your prestigious School of Geography.

I had been to several metropolitan cities like Shenzhen, Shanghai and Nanjing. I noticed that these cities had been expanding tremendously on mass transportation and civil facilities. A lot of resource is invested in management and safeguarding to collect, manage, organize, and analyze data of transportation or management of water and gas supply. I believe that the achievement of the automatic controlled-facilities rely on the management of the environmental information collection, data analysis, and scenario modeling so I choose automatic management as my major. I study ‘Discrete Mathematics’, ‘Data Structure’, ‘Database Theory’, and other computer knowledge for self development on Computer Science. All of these can be very helpful for me to continue my adventure in the field of GIS.

I worked hard on all my courses including ‘Modern Control Theory’, ‘Sensors and Testing Technology ’, ‘Digital Signal Processing’ and ’Simulation and CAD on Control Systems’. I have established the solid academic foundation, and cultivated the abilities of analysing and modeling that a science and engineering student need. I also took the Chinese National Computer Rank Examination Certificate exams on Programming Language Design, Database, and Database Engineer to evaluate my study. I also have been trying to shorten my learning curve by modifying my study strategies, have made great progress in academic studies and won the scholarship.

I have been aware of the gigantic application of sensor in collecting information. When I joined a team to participate the 3rd Robot Fire Quenching Competition at my university, I had an opportunity to acquaint with the sensor system. During our half-year research, we gathered the data collected by different kinds of sensors, and modeled them to enhance the robot’s functions. After numerous testing the robot, we won the runner-up prize.

I also organized a team to join the University Technology Competition to build a ‘Solar Energy Electric-driven Bicycle’. I learn a lot of solar sensor and energy convection related knowledge through the design process. I was responsible for the part ‘battery system design and testing’. I also helped my teammates on charging current converting device development, battery control and electrical engine design. All these experience enhanced my enthusiasm for science and engineering.

I sincerely hope that I can have an opportunity to study at you world-class school and participate in fascinating research programs. Hopefully, by the end of this adventure, I will be well prepared for a technical career in environmental management and urban planning.
