My interest in biomedical engineering (BME) started when I started to learn about prosthetic legs. I was intrigued to learn that prosthetic legs existed and were being used for running and playing sports. After doing research, I discovered that engineers were the ones who improved prosthetic legs over time and designed them to perfectly fit the person who was received them.
I want to study biomedical engineering because I would like to learn more about regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. After obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in BME, I want to build prosthetic organs (eg. an eye, liver, lungs, and pancreas) that work similar to normal organs. Creating prosthetic organs would be a major improvement in society that will decrease the amount of people on waiting lists and increase human survival.

I also want to know how to build materials and other resources to help the body sustain under injuries to organs or the musculoskeletal system. I want to fabricate body tissue and be able to remove diseases. As a potentially future Biomedical Engineering undergraduate, I also have interest in applying to the 4/1 Combined Degree Program, in order to get a Master’s Degree and Bachelor’s Degree in biomedical engineering. Obtaining a Master’s Degree in BME would allow me to become more educated in the subject and get a career fully involved in biomedical research and helping
