Why did you choose engineering as a major?

Throughout high school I've been interested in going to medical school, but I wanted a major that allowed me to develop analytical skills that I would need to solve complex problems in the human body. Biomedical Engineering gave me the opportunity to set a h3 foundation to enter almost any aspect of the medical field. I feel that if I'm able to connect principles of engineering to the medical field, I'll have the power to preserve and enhance the lives of many.
