I chose BME as my major because I like how it combines problem solve with science. There was a heavy lab component and plenty of group projects. It was great for collaboration but definitely time-intensive. Still, seeing concepts turn into tangible devices or analysis tools makes the effort worth it, and the degree opens doors to diverse paths in biotech, research, or grad school. Personally, I was involved a lot in doing research during undergrad, and I’m continuing this path as a PhD student. I think the engineering mindset I got from BME definitely helped me a lot for doing research. Overall, if you enjoy problem-solving at the intersection of technology and health, BME is a great choice.
