Biomedical Engineering Personal Statement

Ever since I was young, I have been exposed to graduate school labs. My father dedicated his life, passion, and determination to his emotional engineering research and students. I grew up watching my father formulate innovative hypotheses and implement them in real-life engineering systems; from these observations, I have grown my own passion and determination to achieve something similar in my future.
I pursued my education in engineering in college, and although my grades in my initial years were not excellent, I have matured as a student and followed my studies seriously by challenging myself with difficult technical courses. Overall, my undergraduate studies enabled me to discover the specific field that I was most interested in: dynamics and biomedical engineering. In college, I had the opportunity to gain experience in the industry through internships at HDR Inc. and various research labs. From these experiences, I have learned how engineers project their ideas cooperatively …show more content…
Because I wanted to finish my coursework and then dedicate my undivided attention to my research, I completed thirty credits in two semesters when the recommended amount was nine credits per semester. This is similar to my undergraduate experiences, as my grades were not as high as they could have been. However, I still gained many positive outcomes from fully immersing myself in my graduate studies. I encountered Neuromechanics and Bionics, and became determined to pursue my research in these fields. I was especially fascinated by how the mechanical and electrical components interacted with bio-nature or humans to formulate its behavior, how these components were processed as signals, and how these signals were studied to develop mimicking functions or supplement their
