The dang deal....
major: Biological Systems Engineering
track: bioprocess
Lemme explain, as an engineer there are many things that one can do with a degree. Specifically, as a bioengineer the field is very diverse, to help students narrow their course sequence TAMU offers three bioengineer tracks: bioprocess, food engineering, and environmental/water. As a bioengineer/bioprocess track I am being prepared to take a job in a major biotech corporation. For instance, I can work either for the government of major produce firm genetically engineeirng bionic pesticides, growth hormones etc...or I could work for the CIA making/decoding biological weapons. If anyone has seen the "why biotech commercial" in which they discuss engineering "golden corn", i.e. corn infused with beta caratene, to send to sub-Saharan African to combat blindness that is my major! I could also work in pharmaceuticals.
In fact, I interned last summer with Schering pharmaceuticals...read Claritin and Nasonex.
Anyway, I have bigger dreams and only chose an engineering major because I love math and science and that was where the scholarships were and in my house grad/professional school is not an option....So, I am taking the LSAT in October and hopefully will be enrolling in law school in the fall of 2003. I want to get a JD/MPH and eventually affect public policy in health care.
Whew!
Soror Sweetest Diva, we should talk about law school inTX, etc...
