What was the main reason that made you choose bioengineering as a career?
Hi! I’m currently in my second year of college. One of the main reasons I chose this field is my strong interest in prosthetics and orthotics, as well as in emerging technologies that are making things possible that would have seemed almost impossible not that long ago, such as advances in cell regeneration and other areas.
I’ve asked some of my classmates the same question, and many of them say they’re more interested in the career opportunities than in the actual content of the degree. Others are also interested in prosthetics, but that made me curious about what other areas of bioengineering people are passionate about.
Bioengineering is such a broad field, and I’d love to hear what originally attracted you to it and what areas you find the most interesting. I’m also hoping to discover some new topics to look into. Thanks!
