Biomedical engineering Definition and 72 Threads

I'm currently a freshman in Biological engineering and questioning my choice of major. At this point, I am about 99.9% sure that I want to go to graduate school. I am currently doing research in computational neuroscience/modeling and I very much enjoy it. The problem is that I feel my true...

How does one go about getting into biomedEng with a degree in mechanical engineering. Just the artificial limb and organ side of things?

Hello! I'm a 3rd year biomedical engineering student, and I'm supposed to choose an area of interest in order to specialize. I'm interested in a significantly broad range of areas, such as radiology, MRI imaging, cardiovascular assist devices, genetic therapy, neuro-cumputational...

So only few universities offer BME programme in Bachelor Level. If I want to pursue this career, I need to go to graduate school. Then what Bachelor's degree should I get? Is it better to have BSc in Biology or BASc in Mechanical Engineering?

Hello, New to this forum so I apologize in advance if this post is either irrelevant or redundant:) I am considering a degree in Biomedical Engineering, and I am a bit worried about the maths requirements. I have done well through Calc I, but with a progressive sense of things being more and...

Hello! I'm French but I'd like to study biomedical engineering abroad as it's absolutely NOT widespread here. This year is my second year studying maths, physics, engineering science, chemistry in university but I don't mind starting from scratch, I'm still 18. I've already searched a lot...

Hi medical physics gurus, I am a first-year master student in biomedical engineering. I have done lots of work in MRI post processing and learned about medical physics from my friends. I really want to transfer from engineering to medical physics in my PhD but have no substantial physics...

Hi, I have already completed a BSc in math in England, and am currently in applied math grad school, which I am not enjoying at all. I have decided I want to start afresh with engineering, and I am thinking of biomedical engineering ( second choice mechanical engineering ). I have had...

Okay, so I am an undergraduate major studying Biophysics with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. I am looking to do an MD/ Ph.D program in graduate school. My main goals are to go to med school and become a Pediatric Cardiologist, and go into Cardiovascular Research. Is Biophysics going to help...

Say I want to specialize in biomechanics in biomedical engineering. Should I go strait to a undergraduate biomedical engineering program or a mechanical engineering program and then specialize?

Hey all, So here's my dilemma. I am a neuroscience major and I was planning on just doing a PhD in some subfield of neuroscience right after I graduate. However, I've realize that a lot (though not all) of my interests are things that would be aided by some background in biomedical...

Ah, I am a very new student of Biomedical Engineering and am in my first year. Though I am enjoying it, as it consists the mixture of electrical engineering and implementation of human anatomy with advanced courses in computers. But, the problem is that there are many people who are...

Hi everyone. I will get my BSc in physics next year and recently I started looking for possible further career moves. At the moment, biomedical engineering looks like a great choice. My question is, which would be better, to find a university with such programme and hope to get a scholarship...

Hi everybody I am new to this forum and looking for some opinions on my career path. First, I love anything about math and science and about to graduate with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering Technology. When I first started the program I thought I would end up with an engineering degree, which...

Hello, I was curious what it would take to get into Biomedical Engineering graduate school, I would like to get my Master's. Right now I am a junior, B.S. Biomedical Physics (Honors) & B.A. Mathematics. What schools have good Biomedical Engineering graduate programs? What kind of standardized...

Hello, At my school as Biomedical Engineering is an extremely new field, there's a lot of freedom in what you can take. I'm a freshman at the moment, but I have what classes I would like to take planned out. So far I'm going to be taking Introduction to Digital System Design, Introduction to...

B.A. in Biochemistry ---> Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering? Hi everyone, I've been freaking out a bit about grad school and wondering whether I have a chance. The guidance at my small liberal arts college is good, but I doubt that even one person per year goes on to grad school in BME, so the...

why Biomedical engineers are underpaid (the lowest) comparing to the other engs like; EE, CE, ME? also, why are biomed engs "thrown" generally speaking with a lower level personnel like; biomed techs and/or technologists , although they graduated from an engineering programs like any...

I was wondering if anyone has advice on pursuing a career in biomedical engineering: what preparation (in university) does it involve? What career options are open to you after you graduate? I'm interested in its applications (working with MRIs for example) and have always been into creating...

do i need to be good at chem? is there lots of biology? i haven't done bio yet.. im more strong in maths and physics., but wondering what it takes to do biomedical.. or what wud be a better option?

'm right now in my 5th year of engineering science (electrical and computer) and I'm pretty much lined up a spot in grad school at my same school with a shorter than average completion time for it. The research is in cardiac anatomy and biomedical imaging. I've been doing some towards my ugrad...

What cities have large industries of Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology. I've heard to look at the East and West Coasts. Does anyone have any more specific information? Thanks
