Kelly asked Kristin Malosh, Vallourec USA Corporation Added Monday, August 6, 2018 at 7:46 PM Hi Kristin, I am attending Michigan State to study engineering, but I can't decide between Biosystems or Environmental. What would you recommend? I love math and have loved all of my calculus classes. I ultimately want to do something along the lines of engineering solar panels and other clean energy sources and implementing them in third world countries. I initially thought environmental was the right path but I looked into biosystems more and now I'm unsure. What are the big differences between the two as far as employment and work environment and which one would you recommend for me? Thank you so much!
