Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
I have been successful in attaining my degree of Master of Engineering in Electronics
Engineering from the Macquarie University located at North Ryde, NSW in the month of
December, 2018. During this entire tenure of my master’s degree, I had specifically gathered
enough knowledge that can be particularly utilized within the field of electronics and the
related projects of the same. I have successfully carried out three projects by implementing
all the knowledge that I have gathered from my degree, and designed along with developed
the entire plan or layout of the products in reference to the projects that I had undertaken. I
had gathered my Bachelor’s degree in Science in the subject Physics from the Redeemer’s
University located at Nigeria in the month of August, 2012. During the entire time of my
bachelor’s degree I had gathered enough knowledge along with experience to manage a team,
to assign responsibilities to individual member of the team and to put forward positive results
in regards to a project that I have or will undertake. I had been awarded with the Certificate
of Continuing Education Completion in the field of Cryptography in the year of 2018.
