Hey PartI engineers! I’m Jena Kim, your 2024 PartII BME student blogger. Today I’m excited to share why I chose Biomedical Engineering as my specialisation and give you a sneak peek into my first few weeks in BME. But before I do that, I’ll just share a bit more about myself. Why Biomedical Engineering? You’re…Continue Reading Discovering BME

Are you the world’s next biomedical engineer?
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?
Part II BME Part II
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
The journey through first semester continues…
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…
Where did all that time go? – A journey through the first semester of Biomedical Engineering
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
Giving It My All

There are 3 things that have…Continue Reading Giving It My All
10 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Do BME
As I have clearly shown from my previous posts, I absolutely love BME and I don’t think there is any other degree that I would rather be studying for, but it isn’t for everyone and there are definitely some things to consider before choosing BME. So today, I’m going to outline some of the…Continue Reading 10 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Do BME
The Best and Worst of Part II Semester One BME
In my last post, I spoke a little bit about the perks of being a BME student and the type of atmosphere within this specialisation. I know this has basically sold you already, but just in case you wanted to know a bit more about the papers we take and whether or not this is…Continue Reading The Best and Worst of Part II Semester One BME
Already in the Deep End
If I had written my first post within my first few weeks of being in BME, it probably would have sounded a little more optimistic, but instead, I’m writing this while taking a break from the five assignments (that is no joke) I’m currently working on that are all due at the start of next…Continue Reading Already in the Deep End
