1. This is where you start actually writing. Section 1, as we have
discussed is about demonstrating your knowledge of core
principles, concepts and theories in your field. Key words in
that statement are "demonstrate"......ok, there's only one! :) The
most common mistake in this section is that you discuss but do
not demonstrate.
Another key to this sentence: Notice that there is nothing in
there about classes. We do not want class descriptions - we can
look those up in the catalog. We do not want lists of projects
you had to do in each class. Focus on the core skills,
principles, concepts.....In Graphics class, for example, what is
one of the theories you MUST know? Talk about - and then
demonstrate that you know it. Tell the story of that concept.
Be brief, be specific, then add an example to demonstrate. A
chart, a graph, a picture....You may use links as long as you
discuss the concept and lead people to the link.
This entire section is maybe 1 1/2 to 2 pages of writing. You
will add pictures, charts, graphs, etc.
Finally one more thing to focus on: Writing. Grammar.

Example: Persuasive Speech on NYC Boroughs
Central Idea: Queens is the superior borough in NYC due to its
economic vitality, ethnic diversity, and sports/arts profile
I. Attention: “Everyone knows NYC is the greatest city in the
world, and we ALL know that Staten Island is the worst of the
five boroughs. So far, we’re all in agreement, but I’m going to
swim upstream here a little bit and shows you today why it’s
not gentrified Brooklyn, unlivable Manhattan, or the empty
Bronx that’s the best of the rest. It is, in fact, Queens.
Transition: One of the most important ways to measure the
impact of a region is in its economic output and profile.
II. Queens has a superior economic profile because it has high
employment, lots of different types of jobs, the most jobs
outside of Manhattan, a high proportion of small businesses,
and low cost of living.
B. I want to use different statistics and examples to show that
Queens has the second-most jobs outside of Manhattan and that
it has the most small businesses of any borough (using census
data and a report from the City). I also want to compare cost of
living by using average rent for Queens to Brooklyn,
Manhattan, the Bronx, and SI. I will also show how Queens
contains JFK and La Guardia, so it has all the economic impact
of NYC’s only New York airports.

4. Transition: But being employed and livable are not the only
benefits to Queens--it also has more ethnic diversity than any
other borough. It actually has more than any other city in the
U.S.
III. Main Point 2 Queens has incredible ethnic diversity which
makes for a rich environment and amazing dining options.
Queens is the most diverse county in New York, and by some
measures in the whole US (2001 study from Claritas). I want to
show that it has the largest population of Columbians,
Ecuadorians, Peruvians, Salvadorians, and houses almost 50%
of NYC’s Asian population. I’ll use Flushing and Astoria as
examples of amazing ethnic food in Queens and introduce the
idea of “culinary diversity.” Essentially, you can get more and
better types of food in Queens than anywhere else. Sure,
Manhattan may have expensive restaurants and Brooklyn may
have hipster pop-ups, but Queens is where the good food and
international food is at. Use a couple of restaurants as
examples, and maybe bringing in some study or ranking of best
restaurants/best neighborhoods to eat in.
Transition: But eating and living aren’t all you get from
Queens, so I’d like to tell you all why Queens has the best
sports and arts out there.
IV. Queens has the most-accessible and affordable NYC sports
and arts.
B. I know most of you are thinking about the Garden, Yankee
Stadium, and Barclays Center. But Queens has Citi Field, the
Billie Jean King Tennis Center, and the Aqueduct Racetrack. I’d
compare Mets ticket prices to Yankees ticket prices, and argue
that it’s a superior experience because of all the good food at
Citi Field (like Mama’s of Corona and the brewery built in the
stadium) and because it’s so much more affordable than Yankee
Stadium. Plus, the Mets have been to a World Series a lot more
recently than the Yankees. The U.S. Open is one of the 4
biggest tennis tournaments in the world, and it happens here in

5. Queens! It’s an international spectacle and draws audiences in a
way that none of the basketball/hockey arenas do. The aqueduct
racetrack has horse racing, and the Belmont stakes are partially
in Queens, so that almost counts. Finally, there’s so many
accessible and good art museums and public parks.
Transition
V. Conclusion: I want to wrap up by talking about how at
Queens you could live affordably, go to a baseball game, get
amazing food, and still have money left over while chumps in
an upper east side apartment have half the space, none of the
food options, and don’t even get a good view. I hope you’ll
reconsider how you view Queens. I may not have sold you that
it’s better than your favorite, but I hope you’ll keep these facts
in mind the next time you’re having this perennial debate with
your friends.
This section demonstrates that I have met the graduate
requirement of Computer Science Meng degree. I will
demonstrate my core knowledge for following three different
fields.
· Computer Vision and Graphics
· Artificial Intelligence
· Software Engineering
In computer vision and graphics field, the major concept is to
use open graphic library to write a program that can show the
graphics. To fully understand the major concepts, there are
several things need to know and I also have learned all of them
which shows below.
1. Texture mapping: I can use different texture to map on
different objects that can make the objects have different
outlooks. (figure 1)
2. Lighting: I can set up points light, spotlight, and directional

6. light to light where I want in a graphics. (figure 2)
3. Animation: I can animate the objects I set up by using time
function.
4. Shaders: using GPU to show the 3D objects on the screen
which is much faster.
5. Transparency: I can adjust the parameters in transparency
function to transparent the objects.
Figure 1 using different texture to create different planets
Figure 2 using different lighting mode to light the objects
How we can use those techniques to generate a graph we want is
the main knowledge I learned in this field. Let me explain you
how we can do this by building a solar system. First, you need
to use texture to map the picture of each planet on the object
you create. Second, using lighting to set up the light point at the
location where sun is. After that, adding the animation to let
every planet do revolution and rotation. Now, you can get a
rough solar system.
In Artificial Intelligence field, the major concepts are the
different models of machine learning and deep learning. In this
field, the main idea is to teach computer to do things like
human, so we will use a lot of data to train the machine with
different models. After training, we can let the machine do
anything we want. For example, the image classification, house
price prediction, etc. There are a lot of different models
including SVM, Random Forest, CNN, LSTM, and so on that
can use to train the data. In general, the basic ideas of what the
models do is to use a lot of data features to make prediction or
generate the result by computation. For example, imaging that
you would like to predict the price of a house, and you must
have a lot of features of that house like the size of the house,
the number of rooms in the house, etc. I can use that
information as inputs to the model, and I can get the output
until I achieve certain accuracy after computing multiple times.
As you can see, in figure 3, it shows an CNN model with the
inputs of image information and generate the outputs after

7. computation. Figure 3 CNN model implementation
In Software engineering field, the main concept is the
software developing methods. Most of the software projects
need a group of people cooperate together, so there are a lot of
software developing methods come up including waterfall and
agile.
Waterfall is a method that uses in the software with high risky
and security that cannot modify frequently. During the
developing period, everything needs to be considered rigorously
because we will not go back to previous step to modify the
software application. For instance, the autopilot of airplane that
we can’t make any mistakes on it due to human’s safety.
On the contrast, agile is a totally different software developing
method. Developers will meet up frequently, and the application
can be modified frequently depending on users’ requirements.
Hence, members in the team will do self-examination frequently
and make adjustment to let all working become more efficient. I
have implemented this method to do team project, so I realize
what each position should do in this method and what things
need to be done in each sprint of the agile developing method.
The concepts I mentioned above show that I have the core
knowledge in these three fields.
