Biomedical engineering is a growing field because the baby-boomer generation is getting older and they are in need of medical devices. Biomedical engineering is something I am very excited to be able to study. I will explain to you what motivated me to pursue biomedical engineering, how previous work experience contributed to this decision, and my career goals.
Engineering, especially biomedical engineering, has a lot to do with helping people. That’s what I love most about biomedical engineering. Knowing that I could make a difference …show more content…
