Hello! I hope everyone reading this is doing well. I am currently a sophomore at the University of Connecticut studying Biomedical Engineering. I am planning my future schedules and want advice in choosing a concentration and minor. My school requires BME majors to select a concentration. I am torn between the two concentrations; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology (first conc.) and Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation (second conc.). I am also looking into minoring in Electronics and Systems, and most of the courses required to complete this minor overlap with the Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation concentration. Electronics and systems has been something that I have been interested in for a while, so this pair is calling out to me the most as of late. This past summer, I participated in a practicum where I explored both bio-signals and biomechanics. During this practicum, I was able to build a 3D printed robotic hand while investigating various methods of body-machine interfacing for prosthetic control. Most of the work I focused on was working with flex sensors (which we made) and making things like an instrumentation amplifier, an active band pass, and full rectifier, which were used to make an electromyograph. This experience reignited my passions and curiosity for both biomechanics and bio-signals. This is why I am torn between both concentrations, and which to pair with minor I’m interested in. So, the options I have made for myself are; Biomechanics & Mechanobiology concentration paired with Electronics & Systems major OR Systems, Imaging, & Instrumentation paired with the Electronics & Systems major. I am also wondering on which pair would be the most beneficial for me in industry post-graduation. Any advice helps. Thank you in advance!

Any Advice?

Most artists experience burn and neglect their own personal creative ventures, but this is not always the case. How do you find balance?

What classes have you taken in college that’s been really helpful?

I’m majoring in baking and pastry and I’m looking to take extra classes that could be useful, either relating to my major or just a class that everyone should take at least once.

Should I pursue what I actually like in college (considering major and likely careers resulting), or should I pursue a major with a career with a more successful prospective career?

For example, I love art and deep down I want to pursue something art-related, but it is hard to advance and earn money as an artist. Therefore, I am considering a Business major and Chinese, even though I have no real drive for business, I am just assuming it will be easier for me to find a...
