Should I double major in Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering?
Hi, I'm a college freshman majoring in biomedical engineering. I'm planning on going into the field of prosthetics after graduation. Biomedical engineering at my university doesn't have a specialty for prosthetics so I was wondering if double majoring in mechanical engineering would get me the knowledge I'm looking for. Is a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering enough? #Fall25

Is outsourcing a problem in the biomedical engineering / neuroengineering field?
I am a student planning to major in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Neuroscience in hopes of being competitive in the field of neuroengineering. Specifically, I would like to work on the development of neuroprosthetics. I know that outsourcing is a bit of a problem in other engineering fields, so I was wondering if this also holds true for biomedical engineering? I would also like to know about job opportunities in this field. I am hoping that the industry is not too small to be dependable. #internships #career #neuroscience #neuroengineering #career-development #career-counseling #prosthetics #neuroprosthetics #neuralprosthetics #neurorobots #neuroelectronics #bioengineering #biomedicalengineering #engineering #college #biotech
What is a good education pathway for a career in neuroprosthetics?
I am currently a student planning to major in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Neuroscience in hopes of being competitive in the neuroengineering industry. Specifically, I want to work developing neuroprosthetics. For anyone working in the field, do you have any advice for getting a foot in the door to this industry? I would especially appreciate recommendations for colleges with good neuroengineering programs, internship and research opportunities, or co-ops, as well as information about companies active in the field (in the US). #internships #career #neuroscience #neuroengineering #career-development #career-counseling #prosthetics #neuroprosthetics #neuralprosthetics #neurorobots #neuroelectronics #bioengineering #biomedicalengineering #engineering #college #biotech

What is a career in biomedical engineering like?
I've been very interested in biochemical engineering for a long time. I am interested in building and/or improving prosthetics. One of my closest friends was born without the lower half on one of her legs. With a lot of hard work and support from friends and family, as well as a great prosthetic leg, she has become a very successful runner. She even won gold in the Paratriathlon in Rio 2016. Throughout all the time I've known her, Grace has been such an inspiration to me, and has convicted me to dedicate my life to biomedical engineering. I realize every experience in this field is different, but I would love to learn more about a day in the life of a biochemical engineer. #engineering #biomedical-engineering #biotechnology #women-in-stem #prosthetics
