This conviction and a natural aptitude for science and mathematics convinced me to opt for civil engineering in bachelors as the most fitting career for me. For me education and learning is constant process and it’s a crucial part of every human’s life. I strongly believe that this process of learning new things is strongly backed by the magical word

Bridges are a very important part of transportation. They are used to span things such as water‚ valleys or other roads. The design of a specific bridge is directly dependent on what it has to cross‚ where it is being built‚ and the materials that are being used. The original bridges were simply trees‚ which by chance had fallen over small rivers or streams. However‚ as time went on‚ bridges became much more advanced‚ including suspension bridges‚ arch bridges and beam bridges. In suspension

Tackling biomedical engineering as my undergraduate degree has been a challenging and exciting experience. Though a rigorous endeavor‚ I am thankful for all it has offered and believe it has extensively prepared me for my future in medicine. My upper-level math courses have demanded a high level of critical thinking to understand abstract concepts‚ thinking I know will be useful when invoked to conceptualize in unconventional ways as a physician. The biomedical engineering curriculum I have undertaken
