I am interested in engineering, and using it in medical applications.

In the year 1816 he felt ashamed to put his own ear against a young woman’s bare breasts. So he come up with the idea to roll a piece of paper and put his head on one side and her chest on the other. This started a chain reaction to eventually creating the modern stethoscope.]]> 2017-05-11 20:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364035 What education is required? axs6992 https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364237 ( This information is from https://www.bme.jhu.edu/undergraduate/degree-requirements/)

I will research how to create new hardware, and I will apply my knowledge while making prosthesis for different clients.]]> 2017-05-11 20:30:10 UTC https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364595 Which college should I attend? axs6992 https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364749 The top 5 colleges that offer  Bachelor’s, Master's’, AND PhD in biomedical engineering are Harvard University, Yale University, MIT, Stanford University, and Columbia University in the city of New York.]]> 2017-05-11 20:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364749 Pros and Cons axs6992 https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364897 Some of the pros are; getting to work with cutting edge technology, there is projected growth in the future for this field, and having a significant impact on different patients. 
However, some of the cons include; sometimes having a stressful work environment, and it is a very specialized field meaning you don’t have options for other jobs with this degree, and requires overtime hours. ]]> 2017-05-11 20:32:25 UTC https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171364897 How will it look in the future? axs6992 https://padlet.com/axs6992/jk7o2cty4sso/wish/171685920 One thing that I expect to change between now and when I actually have the chance to begin the career is the type of technology the specialists work with. For example 10 years down the line, they might have discovered a better material to use for different prosthetics.
