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
Above all, it’s the college of engineering that makes the University of Michigan my first choice college. The college of engineering is unlike any other, providing students with an education of endless opportunity. It is also a college of diversity. I have grown up in Middleville, a small town made up of a white, middle class population. For this reason, I have not experienced a community of varying cultures, ethnicities, and races. But the college of engineering would offer a new platform for discovery
years ago with the class of 2013 with a masters in biomedical engineering. It took him about seven long hard years to finish school. After college he took a job as a doctor at a popular Hospital in California close to a very diverse town, which was also home to one of the biggest Muslim refugee community. There he specialized in patients that were missing limbs due to radiations or explosions caused by bombs in Syria. In the first year of his career he made $86,960 but it was not easy he had to face
one question that I have always dreaded as a young student in my elementary school days; which is “how” will I become whatever it was that I wanted to do at the time that I was asked. Since a lot of engineering students do not always commit to the engineering program and graduate with an engineering degree it’s a good idea to come up with a plan to address the behavior and attitude that it takes to graduate
Being a girl in the engineering field, there have been times where I have questioned if I am in the right place. At the very start of my engineering "career" I never questioned it. Ever since I was a little girl I have always had a love for building and creating. While the other girls my age were playing with makeup I was playing with Legos, taking apart anything that moved, or sitting mesmerized at anything that had LEDs. The whole world of robotics fascinated me. Lego brick mindstorms, raspberry
Judith Resnik in STEM Women are a minority in the careers of math, science, engineering, and technology. Judith Resnik is one of the most famous females who have succeeded in this career minority. Resnik is known for her amazing intelligence and her involvement in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Judith Resnik is a woman to be remembered in STEM because of her intellectual background, her endeavor to succeed, and her legacy. Judith Resnik was brought into this world by
an integrated research-educational method. This education plan will also enhance research outcomes and collaborations from different fields of study, and introduce new interdisciplinary research projects proposed by students, especially students of minority and underrepresented groups. The background is based on the premise that future academic and industrial projects will require engineers to adopt a system level perspective and work with interdisciplinary teams [142]. Accordingly, current
factors in college major choice. There are distinguished trends and discriminations of college major and career choices between females and minorities. However, these typical trends vary depending on the student’s socioeconomic status. 35 student interviews of different gender, race, and socioeconomic statuses were then conducted to test to prove
Similarly, a career in research and medicine will involve emotional, mental, and professional challenges that overlap and may be long-lasting. I believe that my matured ability to compartmentalize will help me overcome challenges in my future as a
including health care, surveil- lance, environment monitoring, smart buildings, and Internet-of-Things, etc, and has significantly benefited society due to alleviating certain monitoring and processing tasks. However, novel applications such as wearable biomedical devices require further miniaturization of existing state-of-the-art hardware while having more signal processing capability due to the need to perform real-time processing, i.e. not only monitoring but also detecting abnormal physiological signals
