Biomedical Engineering is, by far, one of the most unique and comprehensive STEM fields, encompassing an unprecedented amount of skills, knowledge, data, technology, and professions. For anyone with a sincere appreciation for math and sciences (like myself), that fact is much more invigorating than it is daunting. I chose BME primarily out of hesitation; being unable to pick just which science I would want to spend the rest of my life studying. Although I was inclined to study Neuroscience at first, I knew that entailed abandoning a significant amount of mathematics and physics in my upper-level courses. In the end, BME provided me with a comfortable liaison between virtually all of the major sciences and mathematics, and most importantly, an avenue to Neuroscience that didn’t align itself entirely to biology and chemistry. It would come as no surprise then that neural engineering is what I hope to specialize in for my upper division undergraduate courses. …show more content…

Knowledge of the basic principles of a theory, concept, or idea, amplifies our ability to make sense of the problem as a whole, translate the situation to different contexts, and ultimately find the most efficacious solutions. When it comes to the human body, the brain is understandably fundamental, being an essential constituent of nearly every biological system. Broadly speaking, the brain contributes to the onset or continuation of a considerable amount of biochemical pathways. Although it may not be the most emphasized aspect sometimes, it still exerts a prominent
