How I plan to make a positive impact on the world through my technical career is because we help to keep our world running. Working on small microchips on phones and devices to working on large aircraft electrical systems that are more complex. Becoming an electrical engineer does not only make these devices work smoothly, but we help solve these problems for those who have these certain issues. All of the electronic devices that everyone use has altered our human lives and have become an essential aspect of our lives. As an engineer, I hope to make significant contributions to society and I hope to improve the quality of life of everyone. I have previously worked in the healthcare field before, and I always wanted to take my education further and go to college to study in the healthcare field, I also wanted to do engineering, but when I found out that healthcare engineering is a thing, I just thought that this was something for me. Working as a healthcare engineer contributes a vital part to the scientific environment that drives healthcare forward. As an engineer working in this field, my goal is to optimize procedures and enhance how patients experience treatment. A specific role that I can work in is a clinical engineer at the hospital, and working in this field means developing medical innovations where we ensure positive outcomes from having clinical practices on medical devices. Working as an engineer in the healthcare field means having empathy for others and having a good strong ethic which is essential to have when working in healthcare. Engineers that work in the healthcare field work closely with other doctors to design equipment that can help other doctors in medical procedures. Working as an engineer in this field often means managing the care of medical equipment, such as imaging machines, scanners, and monitoring systems. Working in this position not only means helping those who need help with their health but also means helping these doctors help those others. I plan to support and optimize the use of healthcare technology. I imagine myself working in two fields that I am eager to study in one. I enjoy helping others who need not only our help but most importantly the doctors. I am also very interested in working in the engineering field where people improve eh devices we use every day and have become a part of our lives. I imagine and hope to work in the healthcare field as an engineer, devloping and improving devices to help others that need our help.
