Engineering and BIC: A Perfect Match  by Marilyn Medlock, Class
of 2005 Currently a master's student in the bioengineering
program at Stanford University  BIC takes a hands-on approach to
education, encouraging students to experience the world and
learn outside the classroom through study sessions, open-ended
discussions, and fieldtrips. With diligent studying and an open
mind, the benefits from BIC are endless.  Though not many
engineering students choose to complement their math and science
courses with BIC, I feel like it was a beautiful match. BIC
helped me to develop a broad understanding of how groups of
people have interacted through history and how religion can be
studied from the perspective of its influence on a people's art,
customs, laws, and daily habits. My engineering courses
developed my technical skills, but BIC helped me discover what
the world is really about.
