      I chose engineering as a job because I like the diversity and the problem solving aspects. By the nature of it, you are also working with lots of different people, from different backgrounds, with is great.

      I have always wondered how things work, taking them apart and putting them back together and building new things. I realised at university that engineering allows you to work in whatever industry you want. At the moment I’m working in the medical industry, but with the same skills and knowledge I could work in formula one; construction; railways; nuclear power; aerospace; oil rigs; mobile phone technology; food manufacture; operating theatre instruments; plus many, many more.

      I choose engineering as a career in college because I was really good at physics and math, and because I LOVED the idea of designing new things, and building things that nobody else had ever built. I decided to go into biological engineering because I also loved biology, and thought that the combination of biology and engineering would be very exciting. As a biological engineer, yo can create artificial hearts that keep people alive even after their own natural hearts fail them!

      Ashley 🙂 Hello again.

      I chose engineering because it was the only subject that I wanted to study at university that really caught my interest.

      Thanks for another good question. 🙂

      Hi ashley,

      Sorry for the late reply.

      I chose engineering because, I like to know ‘how things work?’, ‘how to build things?’.
      Also, I use to love Physics and Biology in the school. Probably that is why I have chosen ‘Biomedical engineering’. Because in biomedical engineering’ you study engineering+ physics+ medicine+ biology.
