I've read that it's a good idea to get in touch with professors that you might want to do research with before applying for research-based MS programs.
However, is the same true for applying to M.Eng or non-research MS programs? Is there still value in getting in touch with professors that teach courses in your area of interest before submitting an application?
I'm interested in bioengineering master's programs.
If you're not doing research, then there is no point in getting in touch with them.
They won't be recruiting you for their lab, so they probably have no real interest in you. Also, I don't even know what you would say? I guess you can tell them you're interested in the class they teach, but that won't get you anything.
