<p>can one of you tell me what this major is about?</p>
<p>biology + engineering = bioengineering.</p>
<p>i know that...can somebody elaborate more...like what they do and things like that.</p>
<p>they spent at least a small portion of their time googling...</p>
<p>LMAO.... EXCELLENT, scorp. =)</p>

<p>thanks i never thought about looking it up, i wanted to hear from a person majoring it or something.</p>
<p>a lot of bioengineering/biomedical engineering majors go on to work on devices related to the medical industry - ultrasound, x-ray, lab equipment, artificial devices like pacemakers, artificial hearts, the list goes on and on.</p>
<p>It is part of engineering that is growing very rapidly and tremendous progress is being made in many of these areas</p>
<p>thanks man</p>
<p>You might look up the bioengineering departments at different universities and see what they're researching and teaching.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm thinking over30's suggestion is the best way to get a grip on the field. Check out MIT Opencourseware; the bioengineering department has several videos showing different facets of the field that are quite informative:
