<p>Besides JHU's great BME program, what other univ/colleges offer a strong BME pgoram? Case western maybe?</p>

2

<p>Case Western, Uconn I would also say even though it isn't on any lists. Our program head is the editor of a bunch of monthly/yearly publications on BME. He is also the main editor of Introduction to Biomedical Engineering the textbook series, a bunch of chapters in the book are by him. We also have a 100% placement record for people getting jobs if they want them. For those that don't choose to work, almost everyone who wants to get into graduate school does.</p>

<p>I think USC offers Bioemedical Engineering. I know a girl who goes there and I think that's her major.</p>

4

<p>JHU, Duke, MIT, Case Western all have great programs.</p>

5

<p>also add on Boston University, UPenn, Umich, and Georgia tech.</p>

<p>The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has a world class biomedical engineering program: </p>

<p>Facitilies for biotech are different from facilities for biomed. Here are the biomed eng. facilities pics, not too special <a href="http://www.eng.rpi.edu/soe/academics_department.cfm?deptID=BMED%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.eng.rpi.edu/soe/academics_department.cfm?deptID=BMED&lt;/a> . If you want to argue facilities I will throw UCONN right back on whose school has spent 2 Billion+ dollars on new facilties in the past 7 years? Half of which went to business and engineering. Thought so.</p>

<p>thank you very much</p>

<p>theres rico again w/ RPI...lol</p>

<p>Yes Sebma. Back in black.</p>

<p>I noticed that a pharmacist with a pharm.D makes more than the average engineer with a master's degree. Correct me if I'm wrong, but do engineers go to business school or work at a bank once they have they dergree to earn more? I don't understand why anyone would want to work at a bank as an engineer.</p>

<p>Engineers with MBA's usually become executives for companies in such roles as CEO, President, Vice-President. Pretty much if you are an engineer with an MBA and you work for a good 10-15 as a business person within a company, or even in the engineering section as a boss, you will get promoted to Vice-Pres or higher. Last I checked executive postions earn very big money.</p>

<p>Hey, what about Columbia's BME? How is that?</p>

14

<p>LOL at bigndude's post. C'mon now! These things <em>might</em> happen, but the way your post is worded suggests that its just that simple -- get an engineering degree and an MBA and BOOM-- you become an executive. Sorry dude, but I don't think it quite works that way...</p>

15

<p>Engineers who desire to boost thier income do often go and get an MBA. At Texas Instruments senior engineers top out somewhere 100 - 150K per year.
(There is more to it than that as big companies like TI offer stock options which make some of the best engineers millionaires in the long run).
To go higher than the 150K salary you generally need to go into a management/executive position and the MBA helps a lot. You can still stay at TI, just in a different role. Don't necessarily have to join a bank. </p>

<p>By the way, here's a far "sexier" website for RPI BME. The program is outstanding: </p>

<p><a href="http://www.bme.rpi.edu/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bme.rpi.edu/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The new biotech center does in fact support the BME department.</p>

<p>Rico I agree that RPI is great and all, I almost applied there myself, BUT you sound like you're trying to convince people to go there. Do you recruit for RPI? I think The OP is looking for objective suggestions...</p>

<p>My biased opinion is Case Western (I'm Class of 2010)</p>

<p>Just. not. true.</p>

<p>Of course many engineers will pick up an MBA, Rico. Doesn't mean by any stretch that they'll magically turn into executives though. Some will, most (statistically speaking) will not.</p>

<p>And Rico, you might want to tone it down a bit. You do seem to be trolling....</p>

<p>is there a Ph.D/M.D. degree in BME???</p>

19

<p>yeah im wondering that too...</p>

<p>maybe JHU???</p>

<p>Harvard and MIT have an excellent joint PhD/MD program where you can get your MD from Harvard Med School and PhD in Medical Engineering from MIT. Best of both worlds.</p>
