Tyler asked Lisette Miller, Ximedica Added Monday, July 6, 2020 at 8:58 AM How did you prepare yourself to transition from university to industry? Hello Lisette, I am a Masters student in biomedical engineering. I have just graduated with my B.S. in biomedical engineering In May. From previous experience finding jobs fresh out of school is very hard. How do I prepare myself better so that I can increase my chances of finding a job after I graduate with my masters? Thank you.

Daisy asked Lisette Miller, Ximedica Added Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 8:34 PM Choosing a specific field Hi Lisette, From your bio I can tell you have been able to work on some pretty cool projects! I was just wondering what concentration of BME you choose to focus on in school? My school offers several concentrations and I'm having a little trouble choosing one. :( Answers 1 Lisette Miller, Ximedica Answered Tuesday, July 22, 2014 at 8:34 PM Hi Daisy, I specialized in biomechanics & mechanobiology when I was in college - though I also took several classes that focused on biomaterials (which I found very interesting). I've always liked engineering on a more macro level - and found it easier ...
Janelle, Miami, FL Added Wednesday, July 16, 2014 at 3:02 PM Preparing to become a biomedical engineer Hi, I'm in ninth grade this year and I would really like to pursue biomedical engineering. I love math and science and I'm extremely good at both subjects. I also have a 4.0 GPA. I was just wondering what classes I should take this year to better my chances at getting into a good college for BME. I passed both Algebra 1 and Physical Science in eighth grade so what should I be shooting for this year?

Maria, Student Added Friday, May 30, 2014 at 11:59 AM Learning About Biomedical Engineering Hi. I am looking into a career in biomedical engineering. After doing some research to find out more about the field, I have come across many negative comments about the field. Many biomedical engineers advised to get a degree in either chemical, mechanical, or electrical engineer, and then, pursue a graduate degree in biomedical engineering. Can anybody please share some thoughts or ideas? I need to decide what path to follow soon since I am transferring this fall. Thank you for all the help ... Answers 1 Lisette Miller, Ximedica Answered Friday, May 30, 2014 at 11:59 AM Hello Maria, As with any engineering degree, the value of the degree itself is based highly upon the university's unique program/curriculum, and the faculty & staff which support that department. I would recommend that you check out the programs in ...

Haley asked Ana Luisa Mendoza, Northrop Grumman Added Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 4:23 AM Researching on Different Fields of Engineering I am a junior in high school and beginning to look at colleges and possible careers. I am currently taking AP biology, pre-calculus and honors physics. I took honors chemistry as a sophmore. My grades are excellent and like math and science. But where do I go from here? I have no interest in the medical field. One of the things I've read about engineering is that an interest in taking things apart to figure out how they work is an indicator that a person might have an apptitude for ... Answers 2 Lisette Miller, Ximedica Answered Thursday, March 29, 2012 at 4:23 AM Dear Haley, I'm glad that you are investigating this further (that in itself is a mark of an engineer). Try to think of engineering as the greater art of problem solving. So maybe you don't sit at home taking apart your phone, or fixing a broken ...
Elyssa, Waco, TX Added Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 9:28 AM Medical School or Graduate School for Engineering? The allure of engineering is the fact that I may be able to improve the lives of many people with one single development. I am concerned, however, that I will not be able to have a direct and personal level of interaction with those I help,which is why I am torn between going to medical school or graduate school for engineering. Maybe this is a belief I hold due to my ignorance about the day-to-day life in the engineering occupation, but I hope that someone may help me understand more about ... Answers 3 Lisette Miller, Ximedica Answered Wednesday, March 28, 2012 at 9:28 AM Dear Elyssa, I can completely relate to your plight on this particular topic.
