    Hello :) I am currently doing my bachelor in chemical engineering and I absolutely love it. However, my future goal is to go into the medical tech area, so designing machines used in hospitals or designing implants, etc. However, I am unsure whether I should specialise to biomedical engineering in my master or stay in chemical engineering and just go more into the biotech area of the field. What do you think? Thank you!

    I am not sure about what career path to follow. I would like to pursue a career in biomedical engineering, but I biomedical engineering students say it is safer to get a degree in a traditional engineering field such as mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering. Honestly, I do not see myself as mechanical, chemical, or electrical engineering. I want to study biomedical engineering, but I do not wish to go to medical school. I am afraid that if I a choose biomedical engineering as a major ...

    Hi! I am a mom to a few very bright children, one of which desperately wants to become a biomedical engineer. She is 13, keeping in mind that she reads at an early high school level, could you suggest any books that might sustain her interest, without being a text book? Thank you!
