<p>can anyone fill me in on the biomedical engineering major?</p>
<p>are there co-ops/internships available?</p>
<p>is it mainly geared to prepare you for premed, or is it more geared towards becoming a practicing engineer?</p>
<p>thanks for any info</p>
<p>bump…i’m also extremely interested in this</p>
<p>Anyone studying biomedical engineering at SLU? Are there coops/internships available? Is it more of a premed major than a “getting ready for a job” major at SLU? </p>
<p>Please, any info on this program at SLU would be most appreciated.</p>
<p>Bumping up this post again. Would really like to hear from anyone attending or interested in SLU as a biomedical engineering major who is not interested in attending medical school, but wants to work in industry.</p>
<p>Is their program more for premeds, or are there more students going to grad school or industry in their program?</p>
<p>Thanks for any input!</p>
<p>ahh! forgot to ask that question at that forum yesterday >.>…i’ll try to e-mail the admissions counselers and see…</p>
<p>bumping up this post. Would love to hear from anyone majoring in BME at SLU. (How’s that for alphabet soup?)</p>
<p>Also interested in the computer science or computer engineering program.</p>
<p>Thanks for any info!</p>
<p>I am a senior at Parks (I’m also the one who responded to you post at <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/saint-louis-university/845674-dorms.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/saint-louis-university/845674-dorms.html</a>). Internship at all colleges are up to the students to get. No one is guaranteed an internship or co-op. However, Parks has a small staff dedicated to setting up career fairs multiple times a year, industry speakers about every other week, and they are available to help anyone with a resume or interview practice. A lot of my classmates have had internships at NASA, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, General Electric , Air Force bases all over the country and the Pentagon. We have a long history at Parks and our alumni provide strong industry relations. We also have great industry support, whether it be in the St. Louis area, or in the U.S. and abroad. Take a look at the aerospace and mechanical newsletter on parks.slu.edu. Many of my fellow classmates are highlighted in it for their internship experiences. For more information on internships visit: [Internships</a> & Co-Ops | SLU Parks College of Engineering, Aviation & Technology](<a href=“http://parks.slu.edu/academic-services/internships-co-ops/]Internships”>http://parks.slu.edu/academic-services/internships-co-ops/).
Your other question was on the purpose of the BME program. There are actually a few BME programs available at Parks. They are BME General Degree Track, BME Grad Degree Preparation Track, BME Industry Track, and BME Pre-Med Track.
Hope this helps!</p>
