I was wondering if anyone could answer these questions for me. I am interested in becoming a biomedical engineer, and need these questions answered for a school project. 1. What is the best part of the job 2. What is the most difficult aspect of the job? 3. What most surprised you about your job, good or bad? 4. What advice do you have for someone interested in this job? 5. What is the coolest thing you have helped engineer? If you could also provide your name for me that would be great! ?

Any more information you have about biomedical engineering would be great. Also feel free to share your experience and where you work!
