    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Yeah I've heard that happens a lot so perhaps biomed engineering will be an option later on. Anyways, I'm not too worried about my degree in pertaining to medicine, but rather I'm curious as to what certain degrees entail (their websites only tell me so much). Especially with biomedical science...

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Hey everyone, I went to change majors to biomed engineering, but unfortunately that major was already full... A&M does offer a major called biomedical sciences, but it is in the college of vet. medicine. It doesn't necessarily focus on animal sciences, but that does bother me a little that it is...

    Is a PhD I This Economy Worth It?

    I thought typically engineers don't bother with a PhD anyway, unless they want to do research at a university, in which case you wouldn't have that high of a salary. Not that that's a bad thing, but don't engineers who work directly in the industry make more?

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    I actually shadowed an orthopedic surgeon for a day, and have volunteered briefly at my local hospital's ER. I did find satisfaction in patient relations, and while I don't think that'd be my selling point on the job, it seems very rewarding to help people in that way. I'm kind of quiet though...

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Yeah I had planned on that either way. Like you said, I feel it might be a safe choice because it would satisfy both paths without banking too hard on one or another. Plus with biomed engineering being a rather new and expanding field, I could see a large amount of future opportunities being...

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Okay, that's fine, I pretty much plan on grad school one way or another whether it be med school or actual grad school for engineering, physics, biology, or whatever. I definitely want to get education beyond undergrad.

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Okay, yeah I looked at the biomed website and it said many pre-med students take that path so that might be a good thing for me to start with. Thanks for your input!

    Can't decide between medical/biology and engineering/physics

    Hey everyone, I'm a senior in high school and have already applied and been accepted to Texas A&M, but I'm having trouble deciding what path to take. I've always wanted to be a surgeon because I'm fascinated by the human body and to be able to go in and fix the most complicated machine in...

    How to Choose a Stratified Sample Using a Random Number Table

    I appreciate the link, but I already got it figured out and turned in. I don't understand what you mean by "nobody knows what a stratified sample is." It's one of the simplest statistical samples, I just didn't understand what method to use. Anyway, thanks again, problem resolved.

    Exploring Sub-Fields of Biology for College Majors

    Thanks for your suggestion. I checked that out, and the university I plan to go to (Texas A&M) offers biomedical engineering in the enginnering department, but also offers an undergrad biomedical science degree which is technically part of the veterinary school. I've heard it was a difficult...

    Awesome Self-Teaching Calculus Book

    Thanks for your reply! I too have noticed a pretty extensive number of errors in this book as you have mentioned, so thank you for the errata list! Other than that, I definitely like the layout and teaching method.
