    Engineering Physical therapy and engineering

    Hey Lej, Thanks for the feedback; it's much appreciated! I was aware of Northwestern's interdisciplinary program in PT and Biomedical Engineering (discovered it about a year ago, shortly after my original post). It's seems to be quite an intriguing opportunity, especially for someone with at...

My physical condition deteriorated until I finally found someone who diagnosed me correctly (or at least correctly enough) and the physical deterioration halted. At the time I was in a lot of physical pain...

    Electromechanical vs. Mechanical Engineering

    Hi physics forums! I am currently a third year mechanical engineering student and I've recently been thinking voraciously about a job when I graduate. I've done several internships (one working with solar power equipment, another designing parts of an aircraft...) and they've been fun...
