Solar Energy Engineering Masters Application - Personal Statement Example

One of the reasons I want to pursue a master’s degree in engineering is because I want to become a full-time professor in the future. The fact that bilingual (English / Spanish) is a great attribute to have as an educator. In 2005 I moved to Boston and started working in the field of sales engineering of different instrumentation companies while at the same time teaching part-time at Wentworth Institute of Technology. One of the best learning experiences about my sales job was the opportunity for different parts of Latin America and visit factories and rural places.

I am interested in the Umass Lowell’s Master of Science Degree Program in Energy Engineering because of my interest in solar energy. I read about the different projects in place such as the Peru Project and would like to eventually implement something similar in Mexican communities and other Latin American communities where there is no electricity, telephone service, and untreated drinking water.
