I reviewed the graduate programs in a brochure showing the study variety of the program, particular programs in dynamics. Also, the research funding of the department is another factor making me to decide the graduate study in Georgia Tech. The normal living cost in Atlanta also helps me to decide Georgia Tech.

The experience of doing research with my advisor, Professor Ginsberg, was important to me of which I learned how to solve a unknown or uncertainty problem. In addition, following study areas help me career: acoustics, dynamics, control, some understanding of my minor in digital signal processing taking in EE of Georgia Tech.

The major strength is the variety of the course. My original major area was in structural acoustics, now, I am changing to microsystem design and fabrication. The variety of the study makes this changing easy and possible.

I would rate the graduate program at Georgia Tech as the best, including the courses, the research of my thesis and interaction with my advisor, the living environment in Georgia Tech and Atlanta.
