<p>Rofl, datalook is such a joke… if you look at his past posts ALL HE DOES is go around the forums looking for “Stanford vs X” and argue why Stanford is number 1. It’s funny and sad at the same time.</p>
<p>So, a friend of mine is interested in chemical engineering. However, he’s a good debator, excellent in ping pong and squash, very high GPA and SAT1 (didnot do sat ii yet), likes finding institutions for helpping diseased and disabled. Yet in the end of the day he’s a techie. At which school is he more likely to be able to follow all these interests with a solid chemE? or it is impossible firsthand to excel at everything in such schools as MIT and Stan. ? :p</p>
<p>btw he’s nto sure if he’ll end up a business man or innovative engineer, but he’s setttled on engineering for undergrad…</p>
<p>@InternAtUSA Congratulations on your decision. My D is a freshman at MIT and loves MIT. Actually she is having the time of her life! She is doing research, playing varsity sports, involved with greek life, loves boston and she made great friends. So, it is more then just an amazing education! Academically, she is doing well, not as well as in high school, she thinks she will end this semester with 2 As and 2 Bs, she is very happy with that , so we are happy too! ENJOY!</p>
<p>It’s been a long time since I last checked this thread. I just remebered it and had a question in mind to DATALOOK: how does Stanford grads’ finding of HP, Yahoo, Cisco, and the others affect my undergrad biological engineering curriculum??? I still can’t make any connection…</p>
<p>Yay! Welcome to MIT! I’m a course 20 major so feel free to PM me questions about the major! :]</p>
<p>hi i wanna know something about position of biomedical engineering in MIT university.
i mean does MIT have biomedical engineering?</p>
<p>MIT has never viewed biomedical engineering as separate engineering discipline. Biomedical engineering is the application of ALL fields of engineering to medicine. It is by definition cross-disciplinary. So, there is no separate department of biomedical engineering. </p>
<p>On the other hand, MIT has arguably the largest number of engineers, departments and labs involved with biomedical applications. At MIT you could be an electrical, mechanical, chemical, biological or materials engineer and work principally on biomedical applications. </p>
<p>The Langer lab part of the department of chemical engineering is widely considered the largest biomedical engineering lab in the world.

<p>The Broad Institute which sequenced the Genome is the largest genetic research lab in the world.

<p>MIT does have a biological engineering department which is quite different in approach from biomedical engineering. Biological engineering is the application of the science of biology to the field of engineering in areas ranging from biological nanomaterials, computation, energy, the environment and biotechnology. It is a field that MIT has pioneered and is conceptually similar to chemical engineering (based on the science of chemistry), also pioneered by MIT over a century ago. </p>
