What Do Engineers Do?
Engineers use concepts and knowledge in mathematics and sciences to find answers to the important technical problems in the world.
As an engineer, you would have to be able to apply properties learned in the classroom combined with problem solving skills to
in order to improve society.
The field of engineering has become a very broad field. Not only do engineers build bridges and skyscrapers, but they build
artifical organs and develop the code for machines that change the world.

Bioengineering is the field for me
A big reason I want to become a biomedical engineer is to make
revolutionary impacts in the world of medicine. I want to develop
the technology that allows us to detect and destroy cancerous cells
and reverse the processes of the deuteriation of healthy cells. For
example, my grandfather recently passed away from blood and bone marrow
cancer and it was very difficult to see him in pain every day.
Currently there are treatments that slow the division of cancerous cells but many
still come with side effects that are sometimes equally as painful as the
cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer treatment can
affect healthy tissue and cells and depending on your age, the frequency of
the treatment and the type of treatment you receive will depend on the
severity of the side effects. As a biomedical engineer, I aspire to
make the technology that would destroy cancer cells while preserving healthy
cells and I feel like the field of biomedical engineering is the best place
for me to make such an impact.
Some jobs in bioengineering include:
- Medical Instrument Technician
- Project Engineer
- MCAT Techniciah
