I appreciate the fact that BME has many different majors rolled into one. The thing is, practically each track is a different major with biology tied in. Biomechanics? Mechanical Engineering with biology. Biomaterials? Chemical Engineering, Materials, and biology. Bioinstrumentation? Electrical Engineering with some computer stuff and biology. Overall, BME is a jack of all trades. When you look closer however, there is clear specialization. In academia you may have graduated with a BME degree but depending on what you wish to research you become very specialized on one topic, especially when becoming a Masters or PhD student. For example, a vision researcher will become a near expert on the eyes and brain without actually actually attaining an M.D. They must pour over papers detailing the subject in which they research. In industry, I assume people really get to known their product area. For example, if you make knee implants it’s vital to know about the materials used, possible materials to use, the knee, etc. At NJIT this seems to be the case, though it may differ from school to school. Any thoughts, especially if you’ve gone somewhere else before?
