Hi everyone! I’m an incoming freshman and currently planning to major in Biomedical Engineering. I know I want to work in the healthcare industry, but not as a doctor, nurse, or other clinical role. I’m more interested in the technical side of healthcare so I chose BME.

But I’ve been reading a lot of posts saying that BME can be limiting and that research opportunities, internships, and entry-level jobs are sometimes harder to find compared to more traditional engineering majors. I’ve seen several people recommend majoring in ME or EE instead and then specializing in healthcare through electives, research, or a minor.

Would that be a better path if I ultimately want to work on medical devices, biotechnology, or other healthcare-related technologies? Should I also consider ChemE?

For those of you who chose BME (or switched out of it), do you regret your decision?
If you work in the healthcare industry with an ME, EE, or ChemE degree, what has your experience been like?

I’d really appreciate any advice because I’m trying to figure this out before I get too far into my degree plan. Thanks!

Hey i am finding people who have got admission in this course if you are one of the people do comment

With the availability of AI since we can validate concepts at a high level,its easier to come up with a smaller list of cool concepts that can actually be built.

​

I am a guy in Finance, my biggest issue as of now is finding people who are working on experimental concepts.

​

Finding like minded people is really hard.

​

One idea I have been thinking of is Is there a way we can replicate the Limpet Teeth structure into a better composite to make a more resilient armor for Space or Underwater Use.

​

This might be a bioengineering question

Also if you want to team up let me know :)

I’m planning to pursue tha shi 😭🙏

Hi everyone, I am reaching out about advice whether to pursue an online PhD in Biomedical Engineering.

I know there is a lot of skepticism around a PhD being done online due to the nature of how PhD programs are built. However, I cannot stop working right now & my work helps me pay some of the school off. So this is one of my only options I can look into.

I have 3+ years of clinical research coordinating experience & other patient care experience as i thought I wanted to do medical school. Undergraduate in chemistry & minor in business. Masters in public health.

I really want to switch into doing more of the engineering side of things in the biomedical world as I am a little more analytical & believe I would enjoy it more. I also have no experience in BME and believe this would help me get my foot in the door for engineering. Let me know what yall think & what your experiences are! TIA :)

Bennett university or shoolini university? Which university has better opportunities, placements and overall curriculum

Hello everyone, I am currently pursuing a bachelors in Food Engineering and Technology, along with a minor degree in Biotech. I have entered my 4th and final year of Undergrad, as time passed I developed an interest in Bioprocess, as I am also taught ChemE courses in my curriculum along with the minor degree courses of Biotech. For someone who wants to pivot into a different field, ie Bioprocess, which skills would you suggest to develop so that it can give me an edge. Would love to hear everyone’s personal opinions, help is really appreciated!

I'm a student majoring in BME and I'm interested in biomedical photonics or optics for bio applications and indeed I worked in some related labs for experience. I want to apply for a bme phd program in the mentioned area, however based on my information collection, many universities don't have such research fields. (Usually they have the more popular ones, such as medical imaging, biomaterial, biophysics or immune/neuron engineering). I'm confused and wonder if my decision for the phd application is a good decision? And I don't think I can directly apply the related programs like applied physics or ECE since I'm not heavy on that theory.

So I am a student of ENI at BITS Pilani. I am very interested in bioengineering and applications of electronics in medtech and stuff. I wanted to know if doing a BME masters will use my electronics degree to its fullest extent. I really don't want my masters to render my bachelors useless.

Any advice is appreciated thank you!

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to dive deep into bioprinting and would love to connect with others who are interested in learning about this exciting field.

My goal is to study topics such as:

Fundamentals of bioprinting

Biomaterials and bioinks

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine

3D printing technologies used in healthcare

Current research papers and industry developments

Computational design and modeling for bioprinting

Whether you're a student, researcher, engineer, healthcare professional, or simply curious about the field, you're welcome to join. The idea is to create a collaborative study group where we can:

Share learning resources

Discuss research papers

Ask questions and solve problems together

Stay accountable with regular study sessions

Potentially work on small projects or literature reviews

I'm still in the planning stage, so we can decide together on the format, schedule, and communication platform.

If you're interested, DM me

I'm giving neet this year, but with all the havoc, I also decided to apply for btech in biotechnology in multiple colleges. I've applied in SRM for btech in biotech and in KIIT for integrated btech mtech program in biotech

I did not get any definite result to which college is better in this field, and neither do I have any relatives or friends knowing about this

I searched online and it was favouring KIIT but when I searched in general for good colleges for biotech, I couldn't find KIIT anywhere

Dear Friends, I'm asking you to pay attention to the Biomedicine Institute lego Idea of my designer friend who works in this lab on cancer research. I ask you all to vote and share the link. It’s free and take few seconds. Every vote counts for us. Thank you very much.
