Choosing a specific field

Hi Lisette, From your bio I can tell you have been able to work on some pretty cool projects! I was just wondering what concentration of BME you choose to focus on in school? My school offers several concentrations and I'm having a little trouble choosing one. :(

    Hi Daisy,
    I specialized in biomechanics & mechanobiology when I was in college - though I also took several classes that focused on biomaterials (which I found very interesting).  I've always liked engineering on a more macro level - and found it easier to understand the fundamentals when I could picture the principles in a tangible way.  Don't stress too much about choosing one. Check with your academic advisor if it's possible to fill your elective classes with courses that relate to a 2nd concentration ... if you want to get to experience two options at once.
    Your best bet is to go with your gut!  Good luck!
