<p>Phasor-OSU, is that Oregon State University or Oklahoma State University or Ohio State University?</p>
<p>We did have a friend who wanted to do engineering, but was offered an athletic scholarship at a school that lacked an engineering program. So he majored in physics. He’s finishing his degree in three years. Child is a genius and could have gone anywhere, but he wanted to play his sport. But, I digress. He’s gotten into some very good grad schools and is going to study chaos, so definitely a more theoretical approach than what my son has done as a mech eng major.</p>
<p>I think son is concerned that he will lessen his chances even more of getting into the bme field if he doesn’t do his masters in bme.</p>
<p>But I agree with the above posters. Get the ms in mech eng, get a good job as a stepping stone, and then try to work your way into bme if you’re still interested in it.</p>
<p>Still, he would like to get some bme coursework at the grad level so he can have some background in it to enter the job market.</p>
<p>I do find that many bme programs are about drug delivery, molecular engineering, and the like, and he is really interested in the nuts and bolts of making devices.</p>
<p>Thank you for all the suggestions.</p>
