Therapeutic Engineering Personal Statement

Through this program I learned a lot of leadership and teamwork skills. EAMC highly encourages its staff to be leaders for team members to provide the best possible healthcare to its patients. During My first year of volunteering, I had great leaders and team members that helped me learn all of the aspects associated with being a TAV. When our leaders graduated, I in turn had to take on the role and help all the new members learn their jobs throughout the hospital. EAMC believes in high quality patient care and as volunteers it was our job to make sure that we also meet their patients needs in a responsible manner. I learned a lot of leadership skills throughout my years of volunteering and teaching new members our jobs roles as well as picking up teamwork skills needed in making healthcare at EAMC the best it can be. I believe I can bring my work ethic and dedication to Auburn’s campus and help lead engineers to be the leaders in our world while being one

When I was younger, I fell off my bed and cracked my head on the bed frame. I was sent to the emergency room and was given stitches. I had to keep going to the doctors for check-ups and me being a child, I was curious of the doctors and always asked them many questions about their occupation. At a young age I became very interested in the medical field. My mother being a surgical technologist and my ex-stepfather being a CRNA, I fell in love with the health care system and that’s when I knew I wanted to help others by becoming a nurse anesthetist.

Growing up I was always exposed to the medical field because my mom worked in the emergency department in the local hospital. When I graduated high school, I got a job working in the construction field making a great salary, for as young as I was. Because of this, I continued to work in this field for the next eleven years. It wasn’t until I was 29 years old when I got laid off of my construction job and my whole world came crashing down on me. I moped around for a month but quickly realized that this is now my time to pursue my dream of becoming a Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). That next summer I enrolled at Aims Community College in

While interning in the Children's Clinic, I had the incredible opportunity to go and visit the NICU. This program had also introduced me how to write a medical research paper. Mini med school gave me a lot of informative information everyday by health professions which they discussed about the ongoing medical issues and other problems like drug use and criminal issues our community is facing. I have also taken classes in High School such as Ap Biology, Ap chemistry, and AP Psychology that exposes me to everyday medical terminology that health professionals use. Information offered by these classes made it easier to communicate and understand doctors.I have taken every opportunity to better prepare myself to the challenges of the medical field. During the internship, I mainly focused on the nursing branch, I shadowed nurse practitioners and registered nurses in action and how they handled medical issues and was also given the opportunity to learn and ask about their challenges in nursing school and how they had overcome it. I was able to learn about the responsibilities and special skills required to be a nurse and received advices from the nurses on how to be successful in nursing school. I have also been self studying Human Physiology and Anatomy. Its the medical field that best describes me. I love to give back to my

My exposure in the field of engineering can be traced back to my high school days. Not only did I take science classes such as physics, but I was also a member of two engineering clubs which taught numerous material outside the school’s curriculum. With that

As a child , my father would often allow me to go with him to work, at his hospital on my days off from school. I would walk through the halls silently following the doctors and listening to all that's said and how they helped or will help the patients. I remember asking my dad how each equipment works and him explaining them to me. My curiosity evolved when I entered high school and learned of the opportunity to become a Certified Nurse Assistant, before officially graduating. I waited three years and the summer of my junior year I took the program and got my certification. Which is why I plan to major in Health and Human sciences at USC. I believe that my major will best set me on the track to becoming a Cardiothoracic surgeon. I am also

I have driven hard towards the goal of education for 12 years, and now with graduation nearing, important decisions lie ahead. I wish to continue my pursuit of education in the field of engineering, more precisely, major in Civil Engineering. I have not yet chosen a school in which to attend, but I have given consideration to a variety of schools. After acquiring a bachelor’s degree, I intend to later gain my Professional Engineering

Emergency medical services has always been a part of me all throughout my life, from the time I was able to walk to now. Beginning when I was washing the ambulances into becoming an Emergency Medical Technician. Times throughout this have shaped and formed me in the direction I have taken. From the first call to going through the EMT course to today and what I see, it has all led me in a direction I am proud of for myself and for all those around me. The events I have been through and the scenes I have seen have each individually built me into a more caring and compassionate human.

With that, I was able to experience behind the scenes action in the hospital. Many people may think they want to work in a certain area or field, but once they actually get there, they realize it's not for them. I was one of those people. I aspired to be a paramedic or an emergency technician, but after spending time in the ER at Sharp Grossmont Hospital, I came to accept it wasn´t the job for me. I didn't want to work in a typical hospital setting. I wanted to be out and traveling, helping those in areas with poor health care, trying to find ways to fight incurable diseases; not in an air conditioned room with an elderly lady claiming her toe feels tingly.

When I was a freshman in high school, I took my first Health Occupations class and loved every second of it. It was intriguing and understandable; it made me confirm that I wanted to go into healthcare as a career. Because of this class, I discovered my true passion is to go into prosthetics and orthotics. There was no huge defining moment in my life that made me want to become a prosthetist and orthotist, but there was one book that I believe changed my future for the better. I was given was an outdated book of medical careers and was able to keep the book to look through it at home. I remember turning to page sixty seven and finding the most interesting career: prosthetics and orthotics.

Engineering is an exciting field that I believe will be enjoyable, challenging, and above all, intuiting to undertake at university. I believe pursuing engineering means exceeding your expectations and making a

I have successfully earned a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering from SUNY, University at Buffalo in September 2013, which opened avenues for me and led me to my first full-time job. Since graduation, I’ve been on a ceaseless path of learning from working as a Quality Engineer for a small manufacturing company called HDM Hydraulics to where I am now as an R&D Quality Engineer for New Product Development at Medtronic. My academic pursuits continued even after starting

The boundless possibilities and prompt outcomes are what I find most energizing and alluring about Industrial Engineering. I have a great interest towards the industrial environment and this is the reason I am looking to pursue Master’s in Industrial Engineering. The factor in the recent times is that there have been huge changes in Design Engineering and Global Industrialization making the position of an Industrial Engineer a very essential one. Being part of this rapidly flourishing community has been my ultimate desire.

I have literally known what I want to be since I was a toddler. Of course, as a three-year old putting together Legos, I could not have verbalized that I want to be a mechanical engineer. However, it was at that time that I began to develop and use the skills that I will need for my desired career. I began to consider how parts went together and the different components necessary to build and sustain various systems. Part of the inspiration was the simple fun that I had while putting together these small toys, but part of my inspiration was my father. He was a maintenance turn-around coordinator at an oil refinery, which led to my own desire to work as a mechanical engineer in a refinery one day. As I grew older, my interest in mechanical engineering remained constant, though I expanded my interest beyond the oil refineries. In fact, after attending a pre-college program, Jackling Introduction to Engineering, offered by Missouri Science and Technology in Rolla, Missouri in the summer of 2011, I realized that engineering was the perfect way to exercise my curiosity and inventiveness in a constructive and productive manner.

For this experience I obtained through my final year project, in which I need to design and manufacture a simple device. I may need to use some tools I had never use before such as the electric drill. That project is basically about wave energy converter. This experience broaden my knowledge about engineering as general and allows me to learn things that I cannot obtained in class such as real engineering design experience where I need to planed, drew and even manufactured my own design with the help of workshop during my final year project, while in this internship I experience firsthand how to manage and checking an ongoing project in such a huge scale and also how a team should work in big group compared to a small group of 4-5 people in class.
