M. Eng. in Computer Engineering

(in progress)

In my spare time, I am always thinking about what I shall achieve in my lifetime.

I believe that imagination and creativity are two important characteristics to distinguish human beings from other species. The value of life is to face more challenges, to discover one's potential of intelligence, and to contribute one's wisdom to the human society.

As time flies, the feeling of pursuing more knowledge and seeking more challenges through advanced study and research becomes stronger and stronger in my mind. That is why after 10 years of graduation of my first M. Eng. degree, now I decide to continue my graduate study.

I selected University of Toronto to pursue my second M. Eng. degree (part-time). Founded in 1827, University of Toronto is consistently ranked the number one research university in Canada, and is ranked one of the top 25 universities in the world. It is also my dreaming university with perfect reputation, first-class faculty, state-of-the-art research programs, and excellent alumni & alumna.

Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering consistently ranks among the top 10 in North America. My research area is Computer Engineering, which combines elements of both Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

Besides having a sound knowledge of the mathematics and the sciences which form an integral part of any engineering discipline, Computer Engineering encompasses topics that are more unique to the discipline, such as:

    - Algorithms
    - Computer Architecture and Organization
    - Computer Systems Engineering
    - Database Systems
    - Software Engineering
    - Operating Systems
    - Embedded Systems
    - Human-Computer Interaction
    - VLSI Design and Fabrication

In the above list, Software Engineering is my main research and course concentration.
