<p>Let's say I wanted to work on things like "skin tech suits," technological body armor, replacement mechanical nerves and bones as well as other biological organs and tissues. </p>
<p>What would be best? Chemical, mechanical, or electrical engineering for undergrad? Or perhaps physics, chemistry, or biophysics?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>lets say you go to a school that has a research in those areas and you happen to find a undergrad research position. </p>
<p>DS found a job in bio-robotics by doing this. His intention was not robotics or bio. His major was mechanical and design. </p>
<p>Stick to the basic fields first before you specialize.</p>
<p>BTW:
DS job is integrating research from MS and phD candidates into a improved bio-robotic platform. He’s a pretty good too.</p>
<p>Since what you are describing is kind of interdisciplinary, there is no set path. I could see mechanical or electrical or bio engineering leading to that, or I could see a degree in physics or chemistry helping. Physics and chemistry is extremely pertinent to the life sciences. In any event you’ll need a grad degree, because no undergrad degree will cover this sort of thing, so you’ll need to do research and get a PhD to get knee-deep in replacement skin technology or whatever.</p>
