[436-445] Overall, I think that the clinic definitely is helping me feel more like an engineer because the clinic is probably the first real engineering stuff, I guess I’ve done. I mean, I don’t know if it would count as engineering stuff, but it’s research. I’m doing tests and doing experiments. I guess it does count as biomedical engineering, but I think that’s probably the biggest thing that’s made me feel like an engineer, because I’m actually doing testing myself. I’m not really supervised at all. I mean, there’s other people in the lab, but no one’s over my shoulder. No one’s telling me what to do. There’s no teacher. I have to figure it out myself with my lab partner, but yeah, and then I mean, the other classes, it feels like I’m getting through it.
[452-457] Because I understand that I need to know the information presented in class to obviously do the engineering and stuff. I also acknowledge that the way that I’m able to do the research is because the other classes that I’ve had. For example, the chem labs and all that stuff where we learned about safety procedures. You know how to do basic stuff. That’s why I am able to do the research and I do understand that, but I feel like doing the research and being in the lab myself actually makes me feel the most like an engineer
