Why BE?

Technically, I enrolled at the School of Engineering as curriculum-deferred. I knew I wanted to pick something that incorporated both math and science and engineering seemed to be the natural choice. Once I was accepted, though, I was faced with the choice of either taking a specific type of engineering class or taking the class that introduces all the branches. I was strongly leaning towards Bioengineering simply because biology was my favorite science class by far. The material seemed both extremely interesting and understandable. Biology was one of the few subjects in school that would be a relief to study because of its appealing nature; most of my other courses I found made me cringe when in-depth material was taught. Although I did not know a lot about the exact details of the field of Bioengineering, I decided that I wanted to do something that involved the designing and application of knowledge in the engineering field as well as the study of the natural world. I figured that it is better to start school off with an initial exploration into Bioengineering than to take an introductory course involving branches of engineering that I am uninterested in.
