I recently read an article about the shift away from silicon towards products like metal-insulator-metal, which have the potential to revolutionize mobile computing (Banks, 2010).
It is on the cutting edge of electrical engineering that I hope to dwell.

My core skills were developed through my teen years, as I amassed a personal library related to electrical engineering and design. As an undergraduate, my focus in studies was clear. I learned about electrical engineering as it applies to music, aviation, and computing. The cultivation of knowledge included a broader understanding of physics and chemistry, while retaining energy for my core courses. I learned about everything from solar batteries to information systems, and this knowledge whirls around in my head waiting to be discharged into a suitable graduate program.
