No student at NYU Tandon needs to be convinced about the value of an engineering degree. For anyone wanting a career as a cybersecurity specialist, designer of transportation systems, roboticist, or a plethora of other jobs, engineering school is the natural first step.
But what about doctor, dentist, veterinarian, nurse, pharmacist, or physical therapist?
Alexandra Seidenstein, faculty member in Tandon’s Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, and Sara-Lee Ramsawak, director of Academics and Global Programs, believe that engineering can provide an enriching and effective pathway to those fields as well, and as organizers of Tandon’s burgeoning prehealth track, they are presenting possibilities that most students might never before have considered.
