Hey everyone,

The title says the main point, and I’m wondering how feasible this is. I know I’m behind on certain classes (math and physics) but totally willing to take some undergrad courses if need be. Some background on me is that ive been working as an EMT since graduation but am currently applying to research positions and trying to get one that exposes me to new aspects of engineering. The main questions I have are:

Are there any programs that are made for this? As in a transition from a biological science to engineering?

I’ve been considering bioengineering, but have heard that’s it’s way different than other engineering concentrations and I’ll have a disadvantage if I go this route. Thoughts on this?

Lastly, is it worth pursuing a Ph.D in engineering? Or does the difference between a masters and PhD not really make a difference?

Thanks for all your help in advance!
