To start this off, I HAVE AN INTERNSHIP!!!! I just recently landed it after our last class and thought you should know. It’s going to be a summer business internship with training throughout the Spring. Now to the actually answering the questions I have, for quite a while been considering a different major. My original intentions in going through my college search was to major in Neuroscience in some form or fashion. The problem is that Georgia Tech offers no such major. Thus I was left with, what I thought was appropriate, Biomedical Engineering. The other major I have seriously considering, however, is Biochemistry. It, at first, appeared to make a lot of sense in that it sufficiently encompasses biochemical systems which sound exciting (to …show more content…
What I mean is that alumni in BME often tend to work for in a health related field such as designing new medical equipment. The second track that most in this major tend to do is consulting. Consulting as a profession is, from what I have born witness to, an interesting, amazing, and stressful job. I have a friend that works for an international consulting firm and he flies around the world to do his work, but he is also almost always working. Don’t ask me how he does because, honestly I have no idea. Biomedical Engineering, at least from Georgia Tech, is an excellent major to begin consulting for biological and health firms. Since most of these firms simply need help running their businesses as they grow, a good sense of knowledge in how their business runs is invaluable. Also seeing as much of consulting is done by providing various companies with new systems to allow them to run through their daily processes smoother, a Computer Science minor would also and to the usefulness a BME major could offer to a …show more content…
Where pre-health focuses on chemical sciences I am looking for a much higher biological orientation to kick-start my chiropractic career. The place where I think I’ll find some of these is further on in my GT career when I get to the BMED depth electives. I shall have a required 12 credit hours in these course whose course work ranges anywhere from neuro-engineering to bio-fluid mechanics. Although most people are daunted by the big names given by various courses, I believe they shall be relatively easy, not in the sense that I don’t have to do work, rather I mean that the time I spend in the class will be more enjoyment and I will have a hard time calling it work. Where I see myself having difficulty is this year and my sophomore year when I am laying the groundwork for the future classes. While these classes are extremely important they can easily become ridiculously boring as, for now, I see no true application of the material I learn. This semester some of my classes have become less of a struggle to understand the material, but rather to memorize everything I am supposed to now, and let’s be honest, doing that
When I entered college at LSU, in the fall of 2009, I was undecided in my major. I did this purposefully because I wanted to give myself the opportunity to have one full year to try out a variety of classes and truly allow myself to find my passion. It was during my second semester at LSU that I took KIN 2500, a human anatomy course, and felt the feeling I had been hoping I would fe...
Am I on the right path; am I choosing the right major? Or what kind of job would I get after finishing college? As a college student I need to ask myself these questions so I know what I want. Even though a college student switches their major for all the right reasons, but student might sacrifice their happiness. What should college students hear before settling on the major? After reading the Scott Keyes article, I found it effective because I understood the purpose of him writing about college students changing their major. I can relate to the article and I agreed with all of his main points because I am a college student.
My current area of interest is in the engineering and the biomedical field. After experiencing the rigorous AP Chemistry course, I was able to find my passion in the field of medicine. Furthermore, I had already developed an interest in engineering from my previous engineering courses and clubs, so a deeper understanding of what I wanted to do was discovered in a chemistry lab. Being involved with the Technology Student Association at our institution, I learned several different skills in a variety of technical fields. This led to my conclusion that I wanted to become a biomedical engineering. This field of engineering incorporates both the medical aspect and technical aspect of what I want to become in the future.
Now if I were to get my Bachelors Degree it would take me about four years and the tuition would be more expensive but i would have to go to a different college. All degrees and colleges have different classes but if I go here then I would be taking Biology, Psychology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Comp I and II, Government, and American History after 1877 plus many more (Nelson, Sherryl. Personal interview. 1 Dec, 2017). My career is considered a bachelor of science (B.S.) (“Colorado Technical University”). That means I will be working with the Sciences depending on my
There were a number of enterprising careers, but the one that interested me the most was business management. I decided to choose the business management because I am majoring in Sustainability and my focus is in Economics. I think business management would be an excellent fit for myself because I have actually done some research prior to this class about management. I would like to someday own an ice rink, and I think that becoming a manager would be a great stepping-stone towards reaching my goal. The requirements for becoming a business manager vary from university to university, but the overall direction of the major revolves around taking 60 credit hours of business courses such as economics, finance, and marketing.
I received a 4 on both AP biology and chemistry which correlates to me being well qualified in both areas of study. In AP biology I learned important skills in microbiology such as gel electrophoresis and gene transformation which allowed me to work closely with DNA sequences and how they affect phenotypes. Being familiar with genetics and DNA sequences would allow me to learn quickly in the lab when dealing with the topics of gene regulation and microbiology. Through AP chemistry I was also able to experience hand on lab work. I have worked with dangerous chemicals and worked in a fume hood, learning the importance of lab safety and precision. Both of my AP classes have well prepared me to work in a lab setting. In my first semester at Rutgers University I worked hard and was able to achieve a 3.8 GPA, which reflects my hard work. My success in General Chemistry part two and Science of Food and current success and elementary organic chemistry shows that I am qualified in the sciences. My background in both the chemical and biological sciences would allow me to perform well in a research setting and allow me efficiently learn about the research
Intro Deciding what you want to study during your college career can be a difficult and tedious task. This is due to fact that many young adults coming out of high school are unsure of what they want to do or what path to take career wise. It is also tedious because this requires that these individuals have to constantly try and explore new avenues so that they can find their passion in life. The path I chose to take when coming out of high school was entering the business school at Howard University.
The two main concentrations that interest me are biology and neuroscience. Courses I would particularly enjoy revolving these subjects include Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Disease; Introductory Microbiology; Stem Cell Biology; Techniques in Regenerative Medicine: Cells, Scaffolds, and Staining; Cognitive Neuroscience; Mind, Brain, and Behavior: an Interdisciplinary Approach; and Neurogenetics and Disease. These classes would prepare me for medical school research during the summer period.
In bioengineering, I could take my passion for biology and approach it in a more quantitative and less theoretical way. Biotechnology
I herewith submit my application for consideration of term tenure appointment. I am currently a Professor in the Department of Cellular and Molecular biology. The late Dr. Allen Cohen, Executive Director of Research, UT Health Center at Tyler, first recruited me as an Assistant Professor of Molecular Biology in August 1990 to work on lung surfactant protein gene regulation. I was promoted to Associate and Full Professor ranks in 1995 and 2004, respectively. Briefly, I obtained my Ph. D. in Biochemistry from the University of Stockholm, Sweden, working under the mentorship of Dr. Bengt Mannervik, a world leader in the field of enzymes that metabolize glutathione.
Some people already know by the age of seven that they want to become a pilot or nurse; others, however, have more difficulties deciding what to do with their future. People who decided to go to a university or college have to make an important choice: what major are they going into? For many people this is a very difficult question. As the statistics show, one out of five students change their major between admission and the first day of classes. Nearly three out of four students change majors at least twice before they graduate. And three out of four college students express uncertainly about their major. These striking results raised some questions for me. Is it really necessary to choose a major? What influence has the choice of a specific major on the student and his or her education? What are the opportunities for the future? And how can these students be helped? Since I am still having trouble choosing a major myself, I decided to do some research on this topic and I hope it will help you a little bit to make the right choice.
I have a special interest in biology; Berkeley has more than 25 areas of specialization in the biological sciences, such as chemical Biology, genetics and plants biology, nutrition and science, molecular and cell biology, and many other options.
I have always been good at biology and mathematics. This is one reason why one of my many goals is to major in biomedical engineering. I am very excited to start studying biomedical sciences, and hope to use my newly learned skills in the medical field. Achieving a college education in such field will pave the road for my future career, by teaching and instilling knowledge that would not have been learned otherwise.
My desire of studying biomedical sciences stems from my sciences interest, as it demonstrates a world not visible to the naked eye, plays a big role in everyday life. science specifically biology and chemistry are stimulating and challenging subjects , over the years of studying them ,my interest has increased because learning things about how our bodies function and how it relates to god’s creation is particularly interesting for me. I also find it very important because I’m Muslim. The biomedical science degree will open for me the door to learn more about the vast field of biology and its branches to a greater depth. I developed my knowledge in the science field by taking support classes in the lab at school; I was fascinated by how the body can function in different circumstances and the complexity of DNA, different organisms, chemical reactions, and also very importantly the mathematical aspect which gives me the chance to develop and use my logic and it inform me to new ways of looking at given problems.
Becoming a biomedical engineering is difficult and requires some work, but it is not impossible. A person can actually begin working after pursuing his/her bachelor’s degree in either biomedical engineering or in a different engineering field. Although a bachelor’s degree in engineering will require either a graduate degree in BME or on-the-job training. There are many institutions that offer such training and are also top schools for BME in the midwest such as: Illinois Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, Southern Illinois University, University of Illinois in Chicago, and U of I in Urbana-Champaign. There are special requirements/qualities that will increase the chance of being hired as a BME. Having integrity, innovation, persistence, and dependability are really important qualities that one should have. A BME is depended on to be able to create projects or designs in a given amount of time. Biomed engineers often work together and in groups which require cooperation, attention to details, adaptivity/flexibility, and analytical thinking. Putting together ideas and being able to listen to others as well as combining ideas is what will bring success as well as create designs for prosthetics. A...
