Planning and research is important when trying to succeed in any endeavor. A career goal is no different. My goal is to become a biomedical engineer because it is a diverse subject with interdisciplinary opportunities, and it can be extremely helpful to other individuals with various ailments. There are many aspects to each type of career, and they should all be considered when choosing a job or field. Some of the most critical factors in career planning include considering the necessary education
With that being said, this career path will make use of my expertise to operate sufficiently within my workplace. The beneficial aspect to earning this degree is that by only going one additional semester I can earn another associate’s degree in Biomedical Instrumentation Technology. Opportunities like these are expanding every day in the medical field. The opportunities in the electronics field expand rapidly as the world depends on technology more and more daily. From the moment that we wake
Driving into Ann Arbor and seeing all the University of Michigan flags on the houses gave me the instinct that I was going to love it here. Once I arrived at tech day and heard all the praise of the university’s engineering program I knew I was right. While at tech day I was able to preform a hands on task of completing a circuit, so that the alarm went off. This task required that we work in pairs of two. Immediately, I knew I was the only perspective student from the east coast, but that did not
was to learn more about an important aspect of senior year: Senior Design. In each engineering department, seniors must complete a design project in which they communicate with a customer in order to solve and engineering problem. I held an informational interview with a mechanical engineering major, Cat Yip. Senior design in the Biomedical Engineering Department is similar to that of the Mechanical Engineering Department. Both require a design seminar, or class in which one learns the appropriate
The Impact of Computer Science on Health Care & Medicine Abstract Computer science can be defined as the systematic study of algorithmic processes, their theory, design, analysis, implementation and application. Its functions in the modern society today expand far beyond the uses one could even begin to imagine. Specifically, there is an increased influence in its practical application in the field of medicine. In recent times, an interdependent relationship between medicine
Biomedical Engineering is a broad area of study because it utilizes varying disciplines of engineering and applies them to medicine. The field within the Biomedical Engineering discipline that I would like to enter into is scientific research and development (R&D) services (1). This field focuses greatly on identifying problems in a clinical environment and designing solutions. These problems can be in regards to medical devices, diagnostic machinery, biomaterials, and many other aspects of the medical
Genetic engineering is the latest experimental practice used in the world of biomedical research. This practice refers to humans modifying an animals’ genetic component in order to express a particular trait (Dale et al). The scientific community calls the animals produced by this practice as transgenic animals in order to distinguish between its wild type relative. This innovative technology paved ways for medical breakthroughs, along with the expansion of human understanding towards the mechanisms
I am an undergraduate senior in chemical engineering seeking a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering. My interests in this field are geared towards regenerative medicine techniques. Other interests of mine in this fields include; biomedical device technology, the role of nanotechnology in drug delivery methods and biomedical data science. I have planned to attend graduate school since my first year in undergrad, yet my interest arose after my summer internship in bioengineering. My graduate mentor
way I can. My involvement in community service, dedication to my family values and desire to become a biomedical engineer while different, all are derived from my main goal in life, helping others. From the beginning of my involvement in community service, I would
as a student at the University of Kansas, I immediately took an interest in numerous extracurricular activities and organizations. I have established myself as a leader in multiple organizations, including my role as vice president in the Biomedical Engineering Society at KU. These organizations have provided fantastic experiences, but I found myself needing more. I found enjoyment and success in my classes, but I was eager to apply my knowledge. I sought out positions in various research groups
