enjoyed all of the guest lectures. I hope to take moreclasses throughout my four years at Vanderbilt in the field of Rehabilitation Engineering”.Another student has applied for a summer internship in Rehabilitation Engineering at theUniversity of Pittsburgh based on her newfound interest in the field.One student was so affected by the course that she is now considering career in RehabilitationEngineering. She wrote “I started out in BME thinking it would be a good Pre-Med track, butbecause of your class I think I've changed my mind. I wanted to be a doctor because I wanted tohelp people. And I wanted to be an engineer because I love math and science and, in general,fixing things. But then, when I started to learn about all the different ways to
