Biomedical Engineering at Cairo University

A Journey from Freshman Curiosity to Senior Year Achievements

Years 1 & 2: The first two years were all about the basics: anatomy, physiology, physics, and electronics. It felt like stepping into two worlds at once: medicine and engineering. Honestly, it was overwhelming at times, but also exciting because it laid the ground for everything that came after. Most days were spent buried in classrooms and libraries, slowly piecing together the foundation we’d build on later.

Year 3: We finally got into courses like imaging, medical devices, and software systems, and it wasn’t just theory anymore. Labs and projects started to connect the dots — I could actually see how what we were learning could turn into real healthcare solutions. It was the first time I felt, “okay, this is why I chose biomedical engineering.”

Years 4 & 5: Senior year was all about sleepless nights, working side by side with my team, and of course, our graduation project. It was exhausting but honestly the most rewarding part of the whole journey. Every assignment, every presentation felt less like schoolwork and more like real preparation for what comes after.

🎓 Graduation Project

Our project focused on 3D Brain Tumor Segmentation and AR Visualization. We combined CNNs, TensorFlow, and Unity to create a system that could aid doctors in diagnosis and surgical planning.

💡 Key Memories

Morning walks to campus, usually rushing because I was almost late.
Late nights working on assignments, surviving on tea, snacks, and random chats with friends.
Exams that felt impossible at the time but later just turned into funny stories.

Biomedical Engineering at Cairo University wasn’t just an education, it was a life chapter that gave me knowledge, resilience, and friendships I’ll always carry with me.

Grateful for my professors, friends, and family who made it possible.
