<p>Hello Guys,
I have completed MS in Electrical Engineering with concentration in Communication, and planning to apply for a PhD program.</p>
<p>During MS, my professors were unapproachable. So, whatever theories I learned in classes, I made small projects(softwares) on it at home. Now, I want to mention these projects in resume. </p>
<p>Can I mention these projects directly in resume?</p>
<p>Will universities where I am going to apply, are going to question about authentication of these projects?</p>
<p>I am worried to mention in resume because I don't have any proof to show on paper. Normally, I see in Recommendation letters, certificates students show authentication of projects, but in my case I don't have these options. :(</p>
<p>You can mention them in your SOP as evidence of your passion for the material. If you give specific details about techniques and outcomes, it will demonstrate what you’ve learned from your independent projects. They won’t substitute for research, however, if that’s what you’re hoping. Instead, they will give a better idea of your interests. For this reason, they belong only in your personal statement, not on a r</p>
<p>As a EE-MS student myself also majoring in one branch of communication: Electromagnetics, I can tell you that it’s quite advisable to include the small projects you’ve done around your grad level courses, don’t worry about authenticity of them, you can add a small comment in your CV that “results, codes, reports is available upon request”, also you can set up a website and put your codes, results there and give the link to them in your CV. SOP is not a place for listings. Anyway you need to represent all you know and have learned in one way or another to them. Key to success in representing yourself best way possible.</p>
