Good morning, everyone, my name is Bunmi Fariyike and I am currently a senior
in the School of Engineering and Applied Science studying Biomedical Engineering
and minoring in Hispanic studies. I'm originally from Atlanta, Georgia. This
morning I'm off to a bit of an early start because I'm gonna try to squeeze
in a little time at the gym before I have a long day of activities, and I'm
excited to take you guys along for the ride
Alright, y'all, so now I am dressed and on my way out for the day
the great thing about Columbia is that
you don't really have a ton of Friday classes, so actually I'm heading off to the
hospital today to volunteer. I am a medical interpreter at the hospital next
to campus, which means basically that I help Spanish-speaking patients communicate
with English-speaking medical staff.
Hello again, so I'm now in my lab as you can see, and there's an essay that I want to
get started and run today, so follow along with me and I will show you a
little bit about what I do here.
I mentioned a little bit earlier my Senior Design Project, and I just wanted
to take a second to talk a little bit more about what that is.
So for seniors in almost every engineering discipline we have to design
some kind of advanced prototype or product before we graduate and so for
biomedical engineers like me, we're looking at addressing some kind of
biomedical need and designing a solution. My team is looking at how to make
low-cost robust oxygen concentrators for the developing world and so I want to
show you all the prototype that we've been working on. So this is actually part of
our project. This is the absorption column that should hopefully be able to
help us purify oxygen from room air. We plan to test it this Sunday, fingers
crossed everything goes well.
Alright, now that I'm home and in a much more comfortable outfit, let's do a
little dorm tour. This is Woodbridge Hall, one of the
upperclassman dorms on campus which means we have our own kitchen over here
our own bathroom. Really it's great because it feels like you're living off campus even
though you're on campus and as you can see this is the home of two engineers
and this is my part of the apartment over here. This is Woodbridge Hall one of

All right everyone, it's about time for me to call it a night. Thank you so so
much for following me in a very busy day like today, make sure to follow @columbiaadmissions
for more take overs like these and please direct all your
questions to ugrad-ask@columbia.edu. Have a great weekend
everyone.
