Sample SOP for MS in CS For ECE Background

Here is a sample you can use for SOP for MS in CS with work experience for ECE
graduates:

In the present world that focuses on innovation and computing applications, there
is hardly any field that has been untouched by the all-encompassing facets of
technology. As a kid, I was always mesmerized by how simple hi-tech appliances made
our daily activities smoother and efficient to carry on. As an ardent gaming fan
and tech geek, I was always curious in exploring the inner-workings of the daily
appliances we use and I would always have a screwdriver box ready to get to the
bottom of everything. While I was passionate about the hardware aspects, I got
inclined towards programming and coding when I studied computer science as an
elective in 12th grade.
Python was the first programming language I learned while I was in school and then
went on work on coding and building new data networks from scratch. I decided to
pursue BTech in Electronics and Communications Engineering because my passion for
electronics was abundant and I couldn’t resist pursuing this specialisation for my
bachelor’s degree. I worked on different projects during my internships while I
pursued undergraduate studies and these helped me figure out my inclination towards
computing technologies.

Before opting for a master’s degree, I wanted to gain prior work experience in this
field so I worked as a Junior Data Scientist at FinCorp, which aimed to build a hi-
tech AI-blended Finance technology that can automate financial services. After
working at FinCorp for over two years, I realised that Computer Science is the core
specialisation I want to pursue for MS. That’s when I came across the meticulously
structured MS in CS program at your university and decided that it is the right one
for an experienced data science professional like me.

An MS in CS will help me get valuable insights into the world of Computer Science,
Data Analytics, Network Programming, Algorithms and Operating Systems and much
more. I aim to establish a career in research after completing this degree and
studying under the guidance of a highly-qualified faculty at your university can
equip me with the mentorship as well as knowledge I need to become a successful
research scientist.
