Nikita, Mumbai asked Esha Singh, Corning Life Science AddedSunday, February 7, 2016 at 11:34 PM how to beat mainstream mentality Hi. I'm pursuing a degree in biomedical engineering by choice. I have interest in genetics and tissue culturing. How can I relate this with biomedical engineering. Also,the people here have a mainstream mentality and keep asking me why I chose this over so many fields, which is kind of disturbing. I'm sure even you must have come across such questions. How did you deal with it?

Genetics and tissue culturing is a field yet to introduce widely in India, but if we are keen to go abroad, definitely we have scope. We have a subject called BIOINFORMATICS and REHABILITATION ENGINEERING, a deeper study in these subjects can help you out in your interest field. M sorry to hear this that you come across such questions from the dominant engineering fields, well as per the records of https://www.facebook.com/WonderfulEngineering/videos/923617224396958/?fref=nf, BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERS earn highest salary and we are proud that we are part of BME, you can simply answer those people just by showing them this data.BME is the fastest emerging field, and unlike others where we deal only with machines , here Biomedical engineering is the life saving field where technology meets human body .
