My nephew just finished college with a degree in biology. Now he’s going to school in engineering. Wouldn’t it make more sense to do something in science so he can use his biology degree?

Putting science and engineering together has never been a better choice than now. New ideas and advanced technology are taking us to new places.
The bioengineer has much to bring to medicine. For example, look at the intensive care unit (ICU). Patients would not get better after surgery or illness without medicine and technology together.
Likewise, new methods of imaging such as MRIs, CT scans, and PET scans have changed medicine for the better. Engineering is a major part of these machines. Tissue engineering is another area needing both areas of study. For example, doctors in Scotland used mechanical principles of soil (sand and clay) to improve the strength of bone graft.
This is only a small list of all the ways science and engineering are working together in today’s world.
