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
Hello once again, When one is in the process of choosing a specialisation, or even a degree, consideration of the future is just as important as what is happening right now. For Biomedical Engineering, as I have emphasised throughout this blog series, this future is broad, a little vague, but most of all – exciting. The…Continue Reading Your FUTURE in BME
Oh how time flies when you are having fun. Or when you have a MEDSCI test tomorrow, and a BIOMENG 241 test the week after. Yep, things went from pretty chill to hectic in absolutely no time at all, and any chance of an actual break during our mid-semester break disappeared (along with my happiness)….Continue Reading The Storm
So we are back into the full swing of things now, a third of the way up the cliff of Semester Two and becoming increasingly weary of the crux that lies above us. The majority of us BME’s are sitting four papers this semester, and I am pleased to report that they are all very…Continue Reading The Calm Before The Storm
G’day Guys and Girls, If you are in the process of selecting a specialisation for your Engineering degree, and Biomedical Engineering is one of the options you are considering, then you’re probably asking yourself the same question that we BME’s get asked on the daily. What actually is it? In this post I want to…Continue Reading What to expect in Biomedical Engineering
Talofa lava, Malo e lelei, Bonjour, Guten Tag and WELCOME to the 2019 album of the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Blog. My name is Heinrich, and I will be your guide in this journey of the in’s and out’s of probably the best specialisation in Engineering. Although the name is slightly deceptive, I am born and…Continue Reading A Beginner’s Guide to Biomedical Engineering
This is it, my final post of the year. Exams have delayed this by at least a few weeks but, finally, we’re here at the end of our journey through biomedical engineering. I hope you’ve enjoyed it and learnt a thing or two. Let me now leave you with some final thoughts and wholesome take-home…Continue Reading Are you the world’s next biomedical engineer?
It’s been 8 weeks since the start of Semester Two and what a tumultuous 8 weeks they’ve been. On the first Monday back after mid-semester break, we had what I considered to be the hardest multi-choice question test I’ve ever taken. In high school, I thought ‘hardest’ and ‘multi-choice’ were words that would never go…Continue Reading Part II BME Part II
And I’m back! Hope you’re all having a wonderful mid-semester break (or, for some of us, a wonderful MEDSCI 142 cramming session)! We left off last time by covering 2 out of the 4 courses that all young biomedical engineers have to take (more if you’re doing a science conjoint, but hey, this isn’t a…Continue Reading The journey through first semester continues…
It all seemed so sudden. One day I’m buying my coursebooks to start a fresh, new year as a biomedical engineering (BME) student and the next day I’m taking the bus home after my last exam of first semester. That’s 4 entire months. Gone like the cash in my account when course fees attack. Not…Continue Reading Where did all that time go? – A journey through the first semester of Biomedical Engineering
