Assignment 1_ (Final): Why did you choose your major?

Without adequate knowledge and outlook for life, it is usually hard for a student to decide his major. My major is CSIE (Computer Science Information Engineering), and there are two reasons for me to choose the major. First, the field is interesting. Second, because of the previous work experience, I need to improve my professional knowledge and technical skill if I want to have a satisfying job in the future.

Before I came to NTUST, I had worked for years as an assistant engineer at electric hardware deportment for Soliton Technologies Company. At that time, I learned so many things from my boss and assignments which are electronic hardware I have been given from my boss. Once I was assigned to write a software program for hardware controlling. For example, the LED light on/off, transmit or receive data from one computer to another and access data at random-access memory, and all of these actions followed programe statements. From this assignmet, I saw many interesting things that I have never learned before.

At that moment, I also realized the professional knowledge that I had known was too little. That was why I could not do my job better and efficiently. If you get a project like that, you need to know how to do or handle it correctly and efficiently. For instance, you need to know "Computer Organization" to make correct assignment for your resource, then you should learn "Algorithms," which helps you to implement request functions and makes program structure to accord the project. As mentioned in the above, these skills are related to Computer Science so I decided to go back to college to increase my ability. Now I am a student of CSIE department and I am happy to learn things from my major.

There are many kinds of reasons for people to choose their majors. For me, I chose my major based on pleasure, getting a better job and improving knowledge. How about you? Nor matter what reasons you have for choosing your majors, just enjoy yourself in your major.
