Today's apparently hot take: Bioengineering is not inferior to other types of engineering.
#if you're wondering why i'm calling it a hot take today i did encounter someone who legit believed that bioengineering would not prepare#a college student for having a career in industry and that it was inferior to “classical engineering”#and by “classical engineering” they meant literally any other type of engineering#computer engineering - which arose in the later 1930s/early 1940s -? “classical engineering”#but bioengineering - which arose in the 1960s -? not “classical engineering”#and so i had to try to explain that bioengineering is a perfectly fine field to study and like. resume/cv matters it's not just about what#the degree you have says you should be qualified to do but what skills you've acquired that will prepare you for a job in engineering#so yeah bioengineering is real engineering#bioengineering#engineering
