School Days B.S. in biological and environmental engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. I started as a biology major, but switched programs to combine engineering with natural sciences and research. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted, but I found it in the end.
Best Part It’s such a versatile field. Engineering is all about problem solving, and a good problem solver is useful to every field in the workforce - academia, business, research and development, tech - you name it! Engineering is a door to a limitless career.
