Hey guys, I got accepted into Wayne State University here in Michigan and they have this very competitive Biomedical Engineering program for undergraduates. Anyway this program requires another application (which I submitted) and a Minimum of 29 Math ACT and a 3.5 Math\Science GPA. I have a 30 Math ACT and a 3.89 Math/Science GPA. Heres the link to the program: http://engineering.wayne.edu/bme/undergrad/
I only have one extra-curricualar activity so Im afraid I wont get accepted.
Does anyone have an idea on average how many people want to be biomedical engineers? Could it be that competitive? Only 40 seats are open per year. What are my chances? Thanks
What does a biomedical engineer do?
Biomedical Engineering is a major with alot of branches, like all medical equipment are made by biomedical engineerirs or biomed engineers make special tissues in a lab for injured people, another thing they do is safety like in cars google it its very interesting
Like hospital beds and patient lifts?
I’m not sure of the depth of BME technology but I’m 99% sure biomedical engineers cover more types of devices like pacemakers, hearing aids etc. Here’s a website I came across with more info: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-engineering-careers/health/biomedical-engineer
To the OP, BME is a growing field and a lot of people are going to be biomedical engineers. It will probably be competitive.
Do not freak out if you don’t get accepted. Most who work in that field do NOT have a biomedE undergrad degree. many have ChemE or MechE degrees…and then get their masters in biomedE.
You pretty much NEED a masters for work in BioMedE…and it doesn’t matter if your undergrad is in biomedE, mechE, chemE, bioE, or a few other fields.
So, if you don’t get in, choose MechE or ChemE (depending on which you like better), and take a few relevant Bio classes…and see if they’ll let you take a Tissue Engineering class or some other biomedE class.
@justonedad no, more like tissue engineering, prosthetics and other highly technical medical devices.
