What do I Want to Learn About?

This is a tough question. Bioengineering is such a varied field with so many different areas of research that it would be very difficult to pick even a few subjects to focus on. That being said, I do know that there are some basics that I would like to learn. First, I would like to know exactly what it is that engineers do and how they apply principles of math and science into problem solving. I have a pretty general idea but this is the first opportunity I have to really learn in-depth about how engineers in general do their job. In addition, I would also like to learn about biology and how it relates to engineering in this field. Specifically, I’d like to focus on how technology and biological materials can be used side by side to advance medical knowledge and create equipment used for the field of medicine. This encompasses areas such as prosthetics, surgical robotics, implants, as well as any other regenerative or repair processes that are part of Bioengineering (such as organ replacement and stem cell research).
