"BME offered more exposure to other areas of academic interest than other fields of engineering, which appealed to me. I chose to pursue the Molecular/Cellular/Systems Engineering (MCSE) concentration because it seemed like the most applicable concentration—my interests have always surrounded small-scale interactions in the body."

"My identity as a student allows me to improve my performance as an athlete because I can use my knowledge from biomechanics and mechanobiology, such as injury prevention and best methods for training/stretching, to yield the best results on the court." Read more
"Ever since I learned about biomedical engineering through the FIRST Lego League Body Forward Challenge, I have been interested in the field and the goal of bridging the gap between biological sciences, engineering, and medicine." Read more
"My favorite part of being a student athlete is how rewarding it feels when I successfully balance school and athletics." Read more
"I have been able to conduct research in a lab and be a teaching assistant for two courses. I believe that the BME major helped a lot when I was applying to Ph.D. programs, in that I could discuss current research with professors at a high level due to the number of papers I have read for my classes."

"Being able to interact closely with world-class faculty—each with their own fascinating backgrounds and research areas—was something I didn’t expect to have at my disposal when I first began my undergraduate career. I learned to appreciate it even more when I learned that students in larger majors didn’t have the same connections with their professors as BME students do." Read more
"The practical laboratory classes have been extremely valuable in building various skills which have given me a strong, broad foundation for biomedical research." Read more
"The design lab is literally an engineer’s playground, and it’s where we got to put our degrees to the test. It’s up to you and your team to use all of the knowledge you’ve accumulated through four years to make your project a success." Read more
"BME has given me the opportunity to be a part of the wider biomedical community. I attended a Medical Hackathon at Johns Hopkins University. We were so passionate about our project that we carried on our project through our Senior Design project." Read more
"I liked that BME taught engineering concepts in the context of medicine. You constantly face challenges in solving real-world problems in lecture, homework, and projects." Read more
