Biomedical engineering

learned about and how every body system was so intricate in its functioning. I also loved how different levels of organization affect upper levels of the body system. However, there was another class I found even more fun and intriguing than biology: engineering. I also was enrolled in “Introduction to Technological Education” during my freshman year. The class focused a lot on problem-solving with different situations. One of these projects was an egg-catching mobile that was powered by a…

end up in a career where I can’t make a difference in this world, I have not achieved my most important goal. Ten years from now, I want to be able to say I have made a difference. I believe that a career in biomedical engineering gives me that opportunity. This makes an investment in a biomedical engineer a good one as you know the society in which we live in will be greatly impacted in a positive way. As an applicant for the Fort Morgan Elk’s Lodge Scholarship, I feel like I have distanced…

Becoming a historian or a writer would be silly since I am good at math and science and it’s something I like. Engineering would allow me to enjoy my work, which is important because, with any luck, I will be working for decades. I don’t want to have to drag myself out of bed every morning and do something I hate. Solving problems and reaching goals gives me great satisfaction. I work better when I have something to work towards and a definite answer. Either my solution will work or it won’t.…

located in many places, but one, there are more campuses in other countries as well, but the one I feel I will be successful at, is in Baltimore, Maryland. When I become a biomedical engineer and work with prosthetics, John Hopkins University will give me the tools to be what I want to be, and to be successful. I want to become biomedical engineer because I want to unblock the barrier that stops disabled people from becoming successful. “The John Hopkins University of Medicine revolutionized the…

Move-in day was the highlight of my college career. As a freshman, I was preparing for a new term and feeling the eagerness for a new beginning. The transition from a traditional-styled home, to a communal dormitory space, is the start of one’s direction to adulthood and independence. Presiding in the learning community of Alvarez Hall forged me into the person I am today. Encountering a mixture of individuals with different sets of personalities and beliefs, allowed me to appreciate the culture…

every branch of engineering. Ways to Get Into the Field What do you need to learn to be able to get a head start as an engineer? You can study and read about science, math, and technology. You can visit technology museums. You can get involved with local Science Fairs and other invention challenges. But all you really need to do is think like an engineer: what problems would you like to solve? How would you solve them? Children from around the world have designed engineering projects that…

school, I had fostered an intense passion toward Mathematics particularly, as well as other natural science disciplines in general. Therefore, it had been my anticipation since then to select a career in the realm of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics); however, which exact career was still an uncertainty. My interest varied inconsistently throughout my early years in high school, as I initially wanted to become a pharmacist, and subsequently a high school math teacher.…

Three words identify me: Gujarati, 1st generation, and the eldest. One thing I learned from being identified with these words is the importance of my family. It is from them I get my support and motivation to keep trying, even if all odds are against me. More importantly, it was because of my family that I am here in the United States having an opportunity to study and to pursue a dream or rather goals, despite being a woman and being part of a low cast group. My family gave me the opportunity;…

Engineering belongs in many different fields, but what makes them similar is the thought process of the engineer. Engineers have to have an innate curiosity about them they not only have to wonder about how the world the works and why it works that way, but have to look for opportunities to enhance life in every field they can. Civil engineers look at the world and land to create something different and functional then what was there before. Civil engineers mostly work on structures to help…

Take a look around the room and at all the items that surround you. What do you see? Probably some chairs, or maybe even some books or probably even a television. Engineers have shaped our world as we know it. An engineer helped make all of these everyday items. Engineers solve practical problems by applying mathematical and scientific knowledge. The word engineer comes from a Latin word meaning ‘cleverness’. The actual definition of an engineer is “A term applied to the profession in which a…
