Sorry for the delay in responding, thing are a bit busy. A quick description of what I can say about the system is its a magnetics based sensing system consisting of a magnetic sensor(cant really say more), Labview with a cDAQ and a switching device that controls the rate at which samples are...

First off let me just say that I am not a EE and have never taken a signals course before though I am sort of willingly having to over come this for a work project. I am working with a sensor that is giving me a noisy signal and I am trying to figure out if there is any usable data in my data...

Not to sound mean, but make your own if you have looked through all these papers. I doubt there is one chart for everything as these are still mostly experimental and I doubt they are in much if any industrial use yet due to their cost. All the properties you mentioned could be highly dependent...

Hello, As the title states I am going to start working as self employed contractor at a hourly rate, though I am not exactly sure what I am worth and am some what new to this. Let me give you some info and if you have a clue or advice that would be great. My experience: I graduated a big...

Hey Edin, My suggestion as someone who reticently graduated with a degree in biomedical engineering and have had a fair amount of biology is to get the book that you will be using in class and then contact the teacher to try and get a syllabus or ask what you will be reading and start looking...

I have a solution to a problem but don't understand why to use LMTD vs the usual type of mean. I was working on a problem of trying to find the thermal resistance through a coaxial cable(hollow cylinder) and sort of knew the trick was that the area was not constant thus something had to be...

Hey, not sure if this would help or apply to your situation but if you could retake some of the courses that you got the worst grades in and get better grades(hopefully A's) often schools will replace your old grade on your transcript with the new one thus raising your GPA and showing that your...

thanks, I'm basically interested in BioMEMS field and while I am interested in academia, odds are I will go to industry so that's good to know.

So I am graduating with a undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and would like to pursue MEMS/NEMS. I have applied to grad school and got into one which is ranked around 100 in the nation( Louisiana Tech) and am accepted to PennState if i can find some one to RA for. I know in academia...

sense instead of since? not the first time and I actually meant to type it that way. Thanks Matt

Hey, So as part of a experiment I am curious to be able to measure the resistance of a wire as I joule heat it under water to be able to get a steady state temp vs current. My thought is to attach electrodes to a metal wire to put a current across it and measure a voltage drop(4 point probe)...

I'm just finishing up a undergraduate in biomedical, and unless your really interested in somthing like tissue engineering, what would likly suggest is to enter a ME or EE program and find a prof to work with who does biomedical engineering to work with but get a degree in EE or ME and try to...

I have done a little of that and unfortunately it always appears as though the research I would like to do is being done at a school that I don't think i will get into. I will definitely look some more though. Thanks

From my experience as an engineer who is about to graduate, extra curricular means nothing unless you are talking about research experience. You have to have over a 3.0 to be competitive. I did'nt think I would want to go to grad school when I started either but I do and no I wish I had a 3.5 or...

So I would like to get into grad school and research BioMEMs but am having issues figuring out where to apply and whether or not I should. A little background: I will be graduating in may with a degree in biomedical engineering from the U of MN. I currently have a 3.0 with a 3.26 in the last...
