Please respond as soon as you can to this, it would be much appreciated! :) Are there good job opportunities and outlook out there for materials engineers in the industry?

[@EngineeringStories]

It depends! this isn't something we can say yes or no to. But generally all engineering fields have an abundance of jobs and the degree provides a lot of transferable skills so that in the worse case scenario you can work outside of the field

[@bryanrodriguez9226]

Can you work in fields what biomedical engineers do?

[@EngineeringStories]

Material Engineers can definitely work in the field of Biomed!
