The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know. This didn’t upset me; it made me curious. Because, of all the things that we should know about, surely our own minds and our own bodies are paramount among them, and yet we still have so much to learn. I’ve since learned that this phenomenon is not restricted to the biological – gravity is one of the most important things in our lives, yet we do not know its cause. But the biomedical questions continue to fascinate me, perhaps because the answers are so vital. Sure, cosmology is intriguing, but what about a cure for cancer, or even the common cold? What about a way of repairing or bypass...
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.
Many great inventions have been made through research in biomedical engineering, for example, genetic engineering, cloning, and insulin. After insulin has been invented, there are still a lot of problems with the purity and the quantity of the insulin produced. Biomedical engineering devised a way to produce large quantities of insulin with a higher level of purity, which has saved a lot of human lives. Although biomedical engineering just been officially founded 200 years ago, its practice has been with us for centuries. According to The Whitaker Foundation website, 3,000-year-old mummy from Thebes, which uncovered by German archeologists, with a wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a big toe is the oldest known limb prosthesis and Egyptian listen to the internal of human anatomy using a hollow reed, which is what today’s stethoscope. No matter what the date, biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. These advances by biomedical engineering have created a significant impact to our lives. I have determined to become a biomedical engineer. Biomedical engineering will have a good prospect because it will become one of the most important careers in the future.
From the structure of bones to how to the brain works, I’ve always been interested in human anatomy and neurosciences. I find the way that the brain controls the rest of the body and how it reacts fascinating. As I progressed through middle school I found out that I also have a very strong interest in robotics and building things. STEM has allowed me to do more activities and work up close with these subjects and I have loved every moment of it. I had wanted to be a biomedical engineer for a couple of years
I was born in Somalia, a country torn by a civil war where free public education does not exist. I lived there with my grandparents, who both wanted me to have the best education available. They both have started teaching me at an early age, where they taught me the Somali language, Arabic alphabet, and math, because they believed that learning these subjects at an early age will help me accelerate. As I reached school age, they have taken to the school in order to be tested. My test scores revealed that I was in the third grade level, although I was supposed to go to first grade. Eventually, I skipped first and second grade and dived right into third grade. The teachers knew about me, so they would always make me do the hard problems when everyone else was unable to solve them. This habit continued until I got to middle school, where my family decided that we should take things to the next level.
My major is Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering is a field in engineering which deals with the design, development, building and testing of both simple and complex machines and engines, some of which include generators, combustion engines, steam engines and so on. They are professionals who apply the knowledge of math and science to produce useful solutions for the benefit of all. This field is one of the most versatile engineering fields, such that there are numerous areas one can specialize in like “manufacturing or agricultural production, maintenance or technical sales; many become administrators or managers”(sloan career cornerstone centre). It cuts
Possessing the basic knowledge in the field of physical sciences and the intuition in them made me to pick up Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as my majors for the Higher Secondary Education. After the completion of my secondary education, I felt that engineering was the only field which can transform and transfer my dreams in the field of sciences into a real one and also it would give me an opportunity to learn and explore how the fundamentals of science are appl...
Comparing The Charge of the Light Brigade and the Defence of Lucknow by A. Tennyson
Learning is a continuous process and the day that you stop learning is the day that you start decreasing your rewards and lower levels of satisfaction. My ardent desire to acquire knowledge has motivated me to pursue higher studies at graduate level, and to take up a career in research in industry. I have taken this decision after carefully considering my academic background, profound interest in research and strong aptitude for problem solving. Banking on an excellent academic record coupled with a keen interest in the ever-growing field of science and technology motivated me to take up engineering.
While I was in high school, not only was I an active volunteer in several activities such as food drives and helping those in need, in addition to community work, but also I became invested in engineering sciences due to my perceptions regarding the importance of electrical engineering to an emerging industrial country such as mine. Therefore, as I was to graduate soon, I decided to specialize in this science as a student and future professional. Fortunately, through my undergraduate studies, not only did I found the science to be highly intriguing and vast giving way access to endless disciplines, but I have also found that it is very much correlated to numerous other sciences. This observation prompted me to further delve in my studies to become one day a well-informed engineer.
I love solving problems and being challenged intellectually. Therefore, discovering the solution to a difficult problem provides a sense of accomplishment. It is extraordinary how numbers intermingle and enables one to view the world in new ways. As a young student, I demonstrated a strong sense of academic excellence with a passion for math and science. As a matter of fact, my peers voted me “most likely to find a cure for cancer”. Admittedly, at the time, I voiced extreme disappointment because, like all fifth graders I hoped to be voted the rock star, actor, or Olympic medalist. Although, in retrospect, that vote fits well with my desire to become a chemical engineer. Furthermore,engineering not only satisfies my intellectual curiosity,
A major factor that has influenced my decision to pursue an education in engineering has been my experience in research, engineering challenges, and dual enrollment at North Carolina A&T University with a focus on the engineering pathway. Beginning with my freshman year enrolled at the STEM Early College at NC A&T, I have been on a track that has focused heavily on mathematics, science, and extracurricular opportunities with the goal that each student eventually continue their education in a STEM-based field. This exposure to the STEM and the engineering field has definitely contributed to me seeing engineering as a challenging, yet rewarding career option. One such opportunity was doing research with Dr. Manuel Reyes on NC A&T’s campus during my sophomore year. During my time with Dr. Reyes and his team of graduate students, I had
