Switched from Chemical Engineering
We asked: What changed for you when you switched from Chemical Engineering to Design?
I picked chemical and biomolecular engineering because I thought it would help me get into prosthetics. However I realized it didn’t and it was burning me out, so I switched to a more design way to work with prosthetics.
