Letter of Motiviation for scholarship

hello everybody

I wonder if you could take a check look and revise my letter .

feel free to edit any thing .I'm applaying for Germany

"The difference between science fiction and science is timing" Colonel Christopher B. Carlile, 1/7/2010 .This say is embodied in two events that are emblazoned in my memory since childhood and were considered as science fiction in the past. The first is when I watched a documentary film about space produced by BBC.The impressive thing in that film was how the scientist could communicate with the spacecraft Voyager-1, which is the farthest man made object from Earth (1.762915×10^10 km) located at the edge of our solar system far enough that a signal travel with the speed of light take 16.12 hours to reach the spacecraft!. The second is the beginning of using mobiles, which generated a high level of curiosity in me because I lived the moment of its launch and evolution. I have often wondered how these devices work and the only answer that I had was electronics. Growing up with that curiosity and surrounded by different sort of communications technology, I insisted to discover this world, so after I passed high school with 96.8%, I decided to study electrical engineering at the xxxxxxxxx.

During the course of my undergraduate study I was so enthusiastic to understand how this technology works. I started the first step in my way and designed my first project at the third year which was a simple FM transmitter and integrated it with DTMF detector to control a simple robot wirelessly. This project opened my eyes on what exactly I need, so I asked my professor xxxxxx if there is a specialization I could embark on and understand the theoretical part of communication and at the same time design the hardware circuits? He told me about communications electronics and from that moment I started seriously thinking about it.

The fascination in communication technology and the aspect of hardware implementation played a decisive role in directing my attention to choose a graduation project that relate to communication electronics. In my graduation project I decided to make something new and useful to my society. I tried to solve a problem that we suffer from it in mosques, hospitals and meeting halls, which is the noise of mobiles’ rings. Anyway, though there is a GSM jammer available at markets, it is not recommended to be used because of the associated health risks. Therefore, the addition I did was integrating a healthy GSM jammer that works only when one calls or receives a call. When I started this project I faced a lot of technical challenges due to lack of professional capacities and lack of resources, especially after the bombing of the designated labs after the Israeli military forces incursion of the Gaza Strip in 2009. Though, the place dedicated to implement the project has been lost, this thing did not discourage me. With the cooperation of my colleagues we could clean a dirty store in the University and converted it to an open lab. Fortunately, the project was finished and I could participate in the technology engineering conference V at the Islamic University. This project was time consuming especially during the data collection phase, and I had to dedicate some considerate time till I figure-out the final design format for this devise. Nevertheless, these technical challenges have motivated me to pursue my education in this field.

To deepen my knowledge in the field of communication, I took an internship of practical training at communication company (GSM provider).Unfortunately I found that most of the work is software-centric, and because this thing didn't satisfy my ambitions in understanding deeply the communication technology, I decided to pursue my post graduate studies .

Studying in Germany is not just a dream, it is a an indispensable step to achieve my goals and mastering this field, especially that Germany is a leading country in this field where many high-tech companies such as iemens, Elmos, Severin Elektro amongst others are accommodated. Of course, there is also many types of cooperation with universities to provide engineers with a high level of in-depth knowledge and expertise in a selected range of advanced topics in electronic and communications engineering. A feature of a course offered by Munich University and does not exist in many universities outside Germany is the internship offered by the university during the semester break in a German company. I believe that this is very appealing to me as an engineer.

Recently, I have attended a lecture by Dr. Helga Baumgarten , Head of the DAAD IC-Jerusalem Office regarding the possibilities to purse postgraduate studies in Germany. After this orientation lecture my choice to purse my studies in Germany became more strong, bearing in mind the many facilities that the German Universities are offering for international students.

To sum up, the soaring development in the communication equipments and the crucial need for this field in my home country calls for a higher level of knowledge and expertise, so in the coming five years I am going to work as a teaching assistant for a year then get a masters and PHD degree in Communication Electronics that assist me to be a leader in this field .After finishing my study, I plan to return back to my home country to share the experience that I will gain with my colleagues and students particularly at the academia level.

Sincerely,
