    Biomedical engineering seeks to create a stronger and less disease ridden society. Through mechanics and medicine, a world with a lower mortality rate could be achieved. Superhumans could fight in wars, mental illness could be eradicated, and the human race could finally reach its full potential. The mechanics already exist to make the blind see, the deaf hear, and systems to help patients with paralysis are in the works. Biomedical engineering has already made leaps and bounds towards improving

    Technology in the field of biomedical engineering is increasing rapidly. Once objects of science fiction, rehabilitative devices, like exoskeletons or brain-computer interfaces, are now imminent possibilities. Even in the recent past, these technologies were complicated, uncomfortable, and very expensive. They have now advanced and become more accessible, offering great potential to improve the daily lives of individuals with neurological or physical impairments. This summer at the National Institutes

    have I decided to do engineering, but I have settled on which engineering discipline to major in. Over the past few months many speakers have come to talk about what it is like to be an engineer in their field. There have been speakers for mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, and biomedical engineering. While I did find some of these disciplines to be interesting and a possible path for me to take, others I have no interest in whatsoever. The focus of mechanical engineering is cars. While the
