Introduction
You are the Director of Undergraduate
Admissions Office. You just came out of a meeting with the Regional Workforce
Development committee and need to get the attention of your university about
increasing the number of students due to large number of Biomedical Engineers
that are needed in the region. Your university has one of the best ranked Biomedical
Engineering Programs in the nation and you have a high interest among high school
students. Your job is to make sure that you can recruit the interested students
or at least inform the majority who are undecided about what major to choose.
As one of the first activities you will speak in
front of High Schools students about Biomedical Engineering. Try to explain
what Biomedical Engineering is and give them interesting data like the
“cool research in the area”, what graduates do, how much they earn,
what the job market is like. Try to give as much information as possible so
that they will have few questions since you only have a limited time and you will
speak in front of other schools later on during the day.
