Morten Jensen, associate professor of biomedical engineering, was recently awarded the title of Fellow of the American Heart Association. In a letter from the leadership chair of the Council on Basic Cardiovascular Sciences, Dr. Elizabeth McNally, wrote that Jensen was recognized for his scientific and professional accomplishments, volunteer leadership and service to the AHA.

The prestigious AHA Fellowships are awarded to physicians, scientists and other healthcare professionals with a particularly productive career in advancing the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. The fellowship comes with the right, privilege and entitlement to use the designation FAHA, recognizing the selection to be in "the world's most eminent organization of cardiovascular and stroke professionals."

"I am honored by this recognition," Jensen said. "Our work in collaboration with clinicians and colleagues in Arkansas, the United States and beyond helped me towards this. My focus is to advance medical procedures and devices to improve treatment of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. In addition, educating not just students, but also the public, about the importance of our work is one of the top priorities for the AHA."

Raj R. Rao, professor and head of biomedical engineering, said that this national recognition for Jensen signifies the importance of Jensen's research. "I am pleased about Dr. Jensen's election as an AHA Fellow," Rao said. "We encourage our faculty to research ideas and technologies that are of interest to them. Over the years, Dr. Jensen has demonstrated his dedication to creating solutions and devices for cardiovascular surgeries. This recognition indicates that his peers and professional organizations recognize the excellent research to which he strives," Rao concluded.

Engineers build nations and mould ideas into reality. Our apartments, the spires of temples, designs of aeroplanes, computer programmes and almost everything in our sight evolve from an engineers brain. There are almost always some signs, right from childhood, that one is born to construct reality. Below we look at five signs that suggest an engineering career for you.

You like taking things apart

Some folks particularly love dismantling items like clocks, cell phones, radios, walkmans, or toys. If you were extra curious as a child and took apart a lot of stuff to learn about their inner workings, you might do well as an engineer. Hopefully, you didnt swallow any such parts and gave your parents a heart attack.

You love to build stuff

You may love building sandcastles, making oddly interesting shapes with sticks and clay, your Lego bricks or Do-It-Yourself (DIY) toy sets like Mechanix. If the answer is yes, you might wear those white plastic caps one day and attend a construction site or become an inventor.

You are logical and analytical

Engineers have a meticulous thought process and problem-solving skills. They like to tackle an issue from all sides by careful examination of the details. If you love solving problems, then an engineering job might make you feel right at home.

You like maths and science

Many may start sweating at the prospect of solving a math equation, chemistry or physics formulas, but not budding engineers. Anything that requires logical deconstruction or problem-solving is their chief skill. If you are as described above, an engineering degree may do you wonders.

You are obsessed with the latest technology

Many of us like window shopping online about the latest television or laptop in the market. A budding engineer, however, is obsessed with emerging tech. They look at the parts that make the whole such as the software and hardware used, the calibration, the chipsets, et all. If youre one of them, you might do great as an electronic engineer.
