The final prompted post for this blog asked to find a source
of information by a professional. I found a video on YouTube where a biomedical
engineering professor, named Marybeth Privitera, talked about traits that are necessary
for biomedical engineers to possess. She talked about hoe creativity was
actually one of the more important things a biomedical engineer can have. She said
that they need this skill in order to produce new ideas to bolster the field of
innovation. This interview tries to invent the idea that creativity is a very
important part of being an engineer. The arrangement of this was in the form of
a few answers to some questions an interviewer was asking Privitera. This video
develops the idea that creativity is important by showing how it is so
important not just saying that it is. If her responses were to be revised I imagine
she might try and add even more back up and reasoning about how creativity is a
necessity to have for engineers. The way she speaks has a style that emulates that
she knew what she was talking about but she often seemed to struggle over the
right words to use.
This interview
was most likely aimed at trying to appeal to college students or prospective
college students. Its purpose is to try to tell the audience that the field of
biomedical engineering deeply respects and actually requires creativity to keep
the field as innovative as possible. I think that this interview could have
been more successful with the message it relays. It seemed that it was not
really so much the focus of the video and rather just the answer to the
questions that were being asked.
