“My major is biomedical engineering because it takes years for people to get any type of organ on the donor list. A lot of people die before they even get the organs they need so it would really help if we could actually grow them for them.”
“My major is chemistry, dual degree biomedical engineering, and I chose this major because I really wanted to help solve biological problems with technical solutions.”
