Hello again😊 Hope everyone had a relaxing midsemester break. I am not sure how that would be possible for any engineering student but at least to some extent, I hope that you can describe your break as somewhat or remotely relaxing. I spent most of my break studying for midsemester tests, projects, and assignments. Nothing…Continue Reading BME Sem 1 Summary
Hi everyone :)) It’s great to have you here. My name is Jacob Mathew, and I am excited to be your Biomedical Engineering blogger for 2022. I hope the first half of engineering has treated you well and has incited a deeper passion for engineering. I presume some of you are still recovering from ENGGEN…Continue Reading Welcome to Biomedical Engineering 🙂
Group assignments – loved or loathed by anyone randomly assigned to complete a 20% assignment with a group of strangers. In a sort of last-ditch effort to show you why Biomedical Engineering is so fun, I thought I’d tell you a little about the group assignments I’ve done this year. As a disclaimer, this second…Continue Reading Group work gamble
When I chose Biomedical, I was expecting lots of learning about medical equipment and how it works. I did not do my research that well into what biomeng was, even when I was enrolling in papers for semester one over summer, I didn’t make any new connections about what was in store. Boy, was I…Continue Reading What to actually expect
One of the worst experiences I’ve had this year is looking for internships. I have spent many hours scrolling Seek, Student Job Search and LinkedIn to try and find a role over summer that will fill those pesky 800 hours of practical work. I learnt the hard way that putting this extra work in early…Continue Reading SummAH Internships
As we approach exams, its time to start reviewing the content from this semester. Oooor watching Netflix while pretending to study. I have loved most of the content this semester, but revision is tedious. I thought while I was looking over all the content, I thought I’d give you a run down of the papers…Continue Reading Sem 2 Paper Run
Hello, lockdown whatever number we’re up to now! The lack of new social interactions and activities lockdown brings always makes my brain gift me with memories I had thought well and truly blocked. I’m reliving the most awkward conversations I’ve ever had, the worst tutorials I’ve sat through by myself, the weird eye contact I…Continue Reading Sem 1 paper run
I love sleeping in. Especially in winter, snuggled up under numerous blankets and duvets in your softest pyjamas listening to the rain and wind attack the windows, knowing it can’t reach your warm haven. Despairingly, this semester does not allow for sleep-ins. While last semester the earliest start was two 11ams a week and then…Continue Reading Musings on Monday 8ams and Medsci mornings
Salutations to all readers, and welcome to my final blog post of this Biomedical Engineering series. FINALLY All tests, group projects, presentations, assignments, quizzes, labs, and even exams have come to an end. Merely listing them out brings back the trauma (Looking at you MEDSCI), but now we can finally relax once more over our…Continue Reading Goodbye from BME
After 12 and a bit weeks, all classes have finally come to their conclusion (yay), and us students are studying hard for our exams (not yay). Well, most students anyway – instead I thought it would be a good time to share with you the happenings of our final few weeks as Part II Biomedical…Continue Reading BME vs. MOSFET
