Loughborough Flashcards
why Loughborough
new STEM LAB- world class lab- equipment and skills needed to be a well-rounded bioengineer.
170 student societies which range from sports to art. New hobbies etc.- improve my self-confidence and interact with a range of people.
Placement- learn skills in industry+ education
student uniion- family
why bioengineering
it is an accumlation of health, medicine, sciences and engineering principles
improvement in healthcare- such as improving the efficiency of drug delivery
improve the quality of lives
Bioengineering vs Medicine
the medicine allows u to help people on a person level
Bio allows you to help at a wider level
both will give me satisfaction
both are heavily influenced by the human body.
what part of science interest you
The part of science that interest me the most would be I would say the immune system. Reading the book two types of decay, the women had her myelin destroyed by the white blood cells.
hormones like steroids can be used to treat the condition.
The body is like a system etc. we need to find effective ways to treat diseases, at the same time being ethical and patient comfort etc
what is bioengineering
multidisciplinary
field that applies engineering and technology
principles to biological and medical problems.
It aims to improve human health through combining
engineering expertise with medical needs for the
enhancement of healthcare
where do you see yourself in the future?
Academic side - Be a better scientist and engineer. and have a solid base on a bioengineer
Have better skills
had my first years in industry etc.
on a personal achievement - I would like to do more social/ charity work. I did work in a charity shop with my friend benefit the world in a wider aspect rather than a scientific aspect etc.
work experience
- read personal statement
what difficult situation etc.
- read Southampton paragraph
personal statement
- print it out
hobbies
so far covid etc.
Enjoy art in my spare time
Sign language club
new member at cadets
what is your biggest strentgh
good at team work
I am rather organise
keep on track
good listener
what is your biggest weakness
not being a good team leader confident and assertive I decided to be a year 8 reader etc. it was hard ; learn to keep rules improving on interpersonal skills allow me to understand how to respond etc.
are you a team player
yes
why not biomedicine
- allow similar prinicples
wider disapline
I enjoy all parts of the sciences including maths etc.
Why Loughborough?
New state of art laboratory- latest skills + knowledge for the thing etc.
Science based Uni.
Variety of societies; will provide me more skills beyond the course
Why bio?
+
The course has a nice blend of chemistry, Biology and mathematical skills in the engineering section
This course allows one to think outside of the box- creativity
Applied to real world situation. Your skills in the bioengineering can improve the lives of individuals through improving medical devices and drugs in general.
Medicine vs bio?
I have equal passions for both career paths
I am aware that there are clear differences.
What I like about both courses. Strong foundation of the sciences that is used to benefit people on a wider level.
Improve in healthcare and therapy such as cancer treatment in targeted treatment etc.
See yourself in 10 years?
Socially-
I would like to be involved in more extra-curricular such as art
Academically- to have advanced my knowlegde in Bio-engineering
Maybe have furthered my self more
Intense passion
Or started in developed my skills in industry/ lab/ hospitals
What does the job include?
Biomedical engineers typically do the following: Design biomedical equipment and devices, such as artificial internal organs, replacements for body parts, and machines for diagnosing medical problems. Install, adjust, maintain, repair, or provide technical support for biomedical equipment.
nanotechnology can
can provide rapid and sensitive detection of cancer-related molecules, enabling scientists to detect molecular changes even when they occur only in a small percentage of cells. Nanotechnology also has the potential to generate entirely novel and highly effective therapeutic agents
why is understanding nanotechnology important
Biological processes, including ones necessary for life and those that lead to cancer, occur at the nanoscale. Thus, in fact, we are composed of a multitude of biological nano-machines. Nanotechnology provides researchers with the opportunity to study and manipulate macromolecules in real time and during the earliest stages of cancer progression.
PRO:
PRO:
- I really enjoyed studying it. You can deal with different topics (mechanics, electronics, informatics) at the same time, and focus on the one you are the most interested in
- cutting edge technologies, very dynamic
Tell me about a difficult experience?
Year 9 project
What is a weakness you have?
I would say that Am I slighlty passsive
To overcome this I decided to volunteer for the Year 7 PE
They relied on my to be a leader
I improved on my communication skills
What is a strength that you have?
Covid bioengineers and covid ?
Vaccination techniques
Peptide bonds etc.
Any questions?
What would be a cool advancement in Bioengineering.
