“Exploring the Diverse and Impactful Career Paths in Biomedical Engineering”

i feel biomedical engineering offers a wide range of career pathes then just being one thing and it provide flexibility and diverse opportunities for professionals if I ever decide that I want to go and be an electrician. And with being around healthcare professionals I can also pick up skills like first aid to use in a emergency.
– I feel biomedical engineering can allow me to directly impact people’s lives by developing technologies and treatments that improve health and save lives without being in direct physical contact and having to take care of them physically.
-It’s a field that encourages creativity and innovation, whether it’s designing new medical devices, developing novel drug delivery systems, or creating advanced imaging techniques and engineering, offering intellectually stimulating and rewarding work for those who enjoy problem-solving.
– In my family, the majority of the women are nurses, so there’s an expectation for me to follow suit. However, I aim to break away from that family tradition and carve out my own path. I refuse to feel obligated to pursue nursing solely for financial security if i dont enjoy it.

Title: Comparison of Gait Characteristics between Young and Old Individuals

Using two attached data files (old vs young), mesure the follwoings and discuss. Submit it in report format including how you measured it. Step length
Step width
Cadence.
Max hip flexion angle before heel strike for right and left leg
Knee flexion angle at mid swing for right and left leg
Compare theses values between young and old, and Submit it in brief report format including how you measured it. Report must include the methods you used for full credits
Note;
The data starts from the cell C5
There are x, y, z location data per time for each joints.
Both old and young are moving toward to -x direction
Z direction is the height
Need to measure the hip and knee flextion using x, y, z, location data. Use the line between hip-knee vs knee-ankle for knee flex, use line hip-knee vs vertical line for hip flex. https://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-Angle-Between-Two…

Title: “Critique of ‘The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity: A Comprehensive Review'” In “The Impact of Climate Change on Biodiversity: A Comprehensive Review,” the authors aim to study the effects of climate change on

The critique should include the following:
Briefly (no more than two sentences), what is the problem that the authors are trying to study.
Briefly summarize the most important finding(s) of the work, and the experiments conducted to obtain this information.
Explain why this paper is important and why we are talking about it in class (what is its legacy)
Mention one reason why the paper did not achieve the stated objective of the work.  You should pick the most important reason – there may be (in fact there are) many possible answers.
A maximum of one page is permitted (INCLUDING REFERENCES), nothing more!
Please make sure that any work cited in your write up is properly including the paper you selected to do the review about.
You are required to reference/cite at least 2 papers, including the paper you are reviewing.
Do not review the entire paper– briefly summarize the most important points described above.
You are required to work independently on these homework assignments.

Journal Article Summary and Critique

Written Summary
For each journal article, a 1-2 page summary (single spaced) will be due at the beginning of the class period that we will discuss the article. These journal article summaries account for 10% of your total grade. Please follow the generic format outlined below for your journal article summaries – make sure to write in paragraph form:
Section 1: Article summary
Introduction: provide a brief introduction that presents the necessary background information if the study – write in your own words!
Purpose: Identify the reason that the researchers performed this study – i.e. what was known before the study was performed, what information was missing from the field, and how did this study aim to address this lack of information?
Materials/methods: How was the study performed and what experiments were performed to address the study’s aim? I expect that you will not be familiar with many of the techniques and scientific methods used in these articles. You are expected to become familiar enough with the methods in the paper to understand the paper (Google is your friend!). In this section of the summary, you do not need to go into extreme detail – i.e. you do not need to list the ingredients of a chemical solution used to culture cells in an experiment. I’d rather you focus on experimental design used in the study to illustrate that you understand why certain experiments were conducted. Here is an example from the first journal article to illustrate what I’d like to see in this section:
Summarizing the methods section for the detection of oxidized proteins:
Avoid: Cells were lysed in caspase buffer from BioSource and proteins were separated on 4-20% acrylamide gels. Oxidized proteins were identified with the Western blot technique with an anti-DNP antibody diluted 1:150.
Aim for: Following exposure to metallic ions, cells were lysed and protein oxidation, a marker for cellular damage, was investigated using Western blot.
Results: What did the study find?
Discussion: How do the authors discuss their findings? Were the results as expected or surprising? Major outcomes?
Section 2: Article evaluation/critique
This portion of the article summary is for you to express your opinions of the study. If this is your first experience reading primary literature articles, I expect this section will be challenging at first. Things to think about when writing this portion:
Data interpretation – do you agree with how the authors have interpreted their data?
Data presentation – have the authors presented the data in a clear and concise way?
Experimental design – did the authors choose the best experiments to address their question, why or why not?
Are the authors’ claims supported by their data (findings are often overstated!)
Missing or suggested follow-up experiments? What other experiments are necessary to convince you of their findings?
Section 3: Article reflection
Comment on how this paper builds off of what we have seen in class. What parallels do you see between class material and the content in the article?
Section 4: New term definitions
Identify and define 10-15 new terms you encountered in the paper that you had to look up. Make sure your definition matches the context in which the term is used. This can be a bulleted list.

The French and Indian War: Shaping the Path to Revolution

The outcome of the French and Indian War, also known as the Seven Years’ War, played a pivotal role in setting the stage for the American Revolution. This conflict, fought between 1754 and 1763, involved major European powers such as Great Britain, France, and Spain, as well as various Native American tribes. The consequences of the war profoundly influenced the relationship between the American colonies and Britain, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of theRevolutionary War. To thoroughly examine this topic, it’s essential to delve into the causes, course, and consequences of the French and Indian War, as well as its impact on colonial attitudes toward British rule and notions of liberty and independence.
