CBliss asked Marnie Smith, LivaNova Added 8 days AGO What advice would you give someone who always loved math/inventing but was discouraged against it for being a girl so got a BA instead of a BS, and now wants to go back to school for engineering? The BA is in nothing related to engineering and I am only 3 years out of college and have already excelled in my field, but am bored out of my skull. I work at a job counseling people and then I come home and tinker and build things out of whatever I have lying around the house. I want a job that would let me design, build, and invent things for solutions to public health issues, but I am so paralyzed with fear that I have already ruined my life with that horrible decision to get a BA instead ...

Jessica Added Thursday, November 15, 2018 at 5:14 PM Help! I'm in grade 12 and need to apply for universities. I was considering engineering in the past but I'm doing so poorly in physics! Should I even consider applying? I'm in the high 70s/low 80s right now and it's not like I don't understand the content, it's just that my teacher's tests are very different from what we do in class.

Kaye Added Sunday, November 11, 2018 at 5:48 AM Mechanical or Biomedical engineering major? Hello, I am applying to college this month and was pretty set on majoring in biomedical engineering. I want to pursue tissue engineering or something related to that. However, I came across an old thread that said there it is hard for BME majors to find jobs outside or college and BME is usually designed for students who will go to med school. They said Mechanical was better because it was more broad and more companies were more willing to hire an ME than a BME. Is that still true? The ... Answers 1 Christine Schmidt, University of Florida Answered 13 days AGO Either option is a good option! There are definitely many jobs for BME graduates right after they receive their bachelors degree - many of our students go straight into industry. The numbers getting jobs directly with ME degrees may be higher, but then a ...
