My job changes so much and I've been involved in so many different projects. You're not going to take a product anywhere with only technical skills. There's no L.A. Engineering. You don't come into contact with engineers. Here's the car,' but you don't know all the steps it took to get this thing working.
All engineering helps people .
We all need to drive and live in houses. In a lot of the other engineering disciplines the effect is somewhat removed from direct contact with people, whereas in bio-medical engineering you get to deal with patients. There are a lot of engineers in forestry and mining because that's where Canada currently is in terms of what it does. A lot of countries are building up their medical systems, looking for products and people to partner with. Canada has a lot of expertise in those areas.
