Brainwaves

Are you interested in what you can do after BioMed? Do you need advice and want to explore Grad School in less than 1 year? Our episode has 2 guests, who are students in the accelerated biomedical engineering masters program, and are here to answer your questions!

This is the second part series of the Brainwaves episode where we dive deep into the other 2 coop experiences and how even non-biomedical co-op experiences can help advance your career! From learning curves to new skills, listen to this podcast to gain insight into the other side...the co-op side! Whether you're a student, professor, or employer, this episode is about gaining new perspectives from our co-op students and there's so much to learn!

For this episode, we brought in 4 iBioMeds to share their experience with co-op! They share about learning curves, workplace dynamics, and what material in iBioMed helped them thrive in their job! Whether you are a student, employer, or somebody interested in the job prospects in the biomedical and general engineering fields, this episode is for you!

"The exaggerated esteem in which my lifework is held makes me very ill at ease. I feel compelled to think of myself as an involuntary swindler.” These words were spoken by none other than Albert Einstein. If you can relate to this, you may be experiencing Imposter Syndrome. In this episode of iBioMed's Brainwaves, our hosts, Amreen (level 4, Electrical & Biomedical Engineering) and Danny (level 3, Electrical & Biomedical Engineering) speak with Dr. William Huggon, Assistant Professor with the Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour program at McMaster University.  Learn what exactly is Imposter Syndrome, what causes it and what are some coping strategies?  Whether you're a first-year student, or a seasoned professor, this episode is for you! 

“I remember thinking, am I meant to be in this program? It took me a while to learn that my performance on a test does not define who I am. How can I grow from this instead of the failure being a stopping point?” Abby McEwan (second year iBioMed student, Health, Engineering Science and Entrepreneurship - HESE). This is just one of the many words of wisdom shared during this episode of Brainwaves. iBioMed students and Brainwaves co-hosts, Abby and John, chat with Dr. Colin McDonald about how they've all grown from failure. Dr. McDonald is the Associate Director of iBioMed and Assistant Professor within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He teaches the first-year iBioMed course IBEHS 1P10 where students work in teams to develop solutions to real world healthcare problems. They each share their own personal story about challenges they've faced, how they grew from these challenges and what they learned. If you're learning from your own personal or academic challenges, this is the episode for you! Want more iBioMed?
