Representative perspectives

At UCLA, BioE is a very chaotic major but I personally feel fulfilled by the things I've learned. It focuses mostly on wet lab tissue engineering which isn't what I want to go into, but has taught me lots of interesting things.

Courses & teaching

I think biomedical engineering is really interesting because it combines problem-solving with helping people in a real way. As a freshman, it seems exciting to learn how things like prosthetics and medical devices are designed…

Enjoyment & fit

The biomedical engineering major is a hard major that requires a great deal of tenacity. However, upong completing the work assigned you feel a great sense of relief and accomplishment.

I think biomedical engineering is really interesting because it combines problem-solving with helping people in a real way. As a freshman, it seems exciting to learn how things like prosthetics and medical devices are designed and how they can improve patients’ lives. I like that it’s a field where you can use science and creativity to make a meaningful impact on healthcare.
