Biomedical engineering is a form of engineering that combines the medical field with technological advancements. The development of new devices and technology is aimed to alleviate doctors in their practice of medicine, as well as advancing healthcare equipment, diagnoses, monitoring and therapies.

Many biomedical engineers conduct extensive research, especially at George Washington. Some of these research laboratories include: Advanced Cellular Diagnostics and Therapeutics Laboratory by Professor Papa; Bio-integrated Electronics Lab by professor Lu; Cardiac Optogenetics and Optical Imaging Lab by Professor Entcheva.

The MatLab was a very insightful experience into the world of coding for me during SEAS. I was able to experiment with different variables and math equations using code and different software than usual. I now have experience with arduino coding as well as the matLab. The calculations were made very easy when inputting them into my code and it proves just how useful it is to have computer science under my belt for the future in engineering.

Reflection: SEAS 1001 has been a very valuable class for me throughout the short time we have had. I have had opportunities to try new things every week that will give me a headstart in the world of engineering. The 3D printing was a very cool experience to see our CAD work come to life. The arduino was an interesting project because we were able to tie in coding with the actual function and see the code come to life on the circuit.

Intro BME reflection:

What is it?

Diversity creates new viewpoints, perspectives, and solutions, which goes hand in hand with equity because this states that everyone has equal chance and opportunity for development and growth. Inclusion creates elements of fairness, respect, belonging, and confidence.

Why is it so important in STEM?

These are all very important in STEM because as engineers we work together in many different environments and need different perspectives to solve problems. The more solutions to the same problem, the better chance of solving that problem. In order to gain multiple solutions, we need many voices to be heard.
