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?

What are some careers for curing diseases, focused more on the science research part rather than engineering?

I am interested in studying chemistry and biology, and I am interested in curing autoimmune diseases.

What part of science should I focus on if I want to make cures for diseases? What major is best for my goal?

I know I want to be in some field of chemistry and biology, but I am not sure which one aligns best with my goals.

What sort of advice would you give to someone who is looking to work with sick children if that person is very sensitive; regardless of that weakness, they have a strong passion and love for kids and that’s the only career they see themselves with for the long term?

For context this person wants to pursue a doctorate in the field.

"If our world values art, kindness, innovation, and nature’s beauty, why do we still judge students mostly by their grades What other qualities should matter just as much?"#Spring25

In a world full of natural beauty and endless human creativity, it doesn’t make sense to judge students just by grades. A test score doesn’t show someone’s imagination, kindness, or how hard they try when no one’s looking. Real success isn’t something you can measure with numbers. Like a tree...

How often will I be asked to relocate as a travel nurse? What will be the duration of each move?

I'm interested in becoming a RN first, then gaining enough experience to become a travel nurse. I wanted to know how often I would actually move as a real travel nurse.

How do you think the field of data science is going to be impacted by AI and machine learning??

Data scientists already use AI and machine learning to build models, but how is using AI to code and conduct analyses going to impact the field?
