Supplement to Biomedical Engineering?

dreken105 asked:


I am a senior in high school at the moment and have started applying to various colleges. My intended major is Biomedical Engineering because i want to do research and be an innovator is prosthesis. I also intend to double major (another engineering course) but what major would best match me ambitions? Mechanical Engineering is related because of the obvious mechanics involved in prosthesis. Materials Engineering would relate because the body needs to be able to accept the new body part. Computer Engineering would correlate because the prosthetic would need a controller to interpret the body’s message. Electrical Engineering is similar in that it would relate to the neural engineering. and finally Chemical Engineering would correlate much like Materials Engineering. So? What am i supposed to do. Also would a minor in business or maybe even a MBA help if i intend to eventually start my own firm?

    There are many BME programs that allow for a concentration or a double major. MechE may be key for you. BME really only builds a foundation for you. You’ll get broad knowledge about all aspects of engineering and biology.

    If you’re still looking for colleges, be sure to ask about the senior design projects. Good BME universities give students a lot of flexibility and support to do those projects. Also, consider which colleges have good research with regards to prosthesis and have relationships with hospitals/medical schools (ex: Hopkins, Rice, etc.).

    With regards to business, a minor is doable, though a MBA is a better bet. That happens after getting your undergrad degree and some work experience usually.
