• Question: if technology was not as far developed as it is now do you think you would be working in the same type of industry?

      Hi Cassie,

      There have been medical engineers for quite a long time but 3D printing is quite a recent technology, so I think I would have been a medical engineer because I like problem solving which is what most engineers do and I like helping people which is a great reason to be a medical engineer. However as you say the technology is new so I would probably have been working on different technologies – maybe making prosthetics (false legs) or inventing a new type of robotic surgery.

      Best wishes,
      Sophie
