<p>I know JHU has great BME and bio related programs.</p>
<p>I also heard that JHU offers great research opportunities.</p>
<p>Does anyone know about bio robotics research at JHU that undergrad can participate?</p>
<p>There are PLENTY. Once ur an undergrad, look up BME professors who are doing such research and either take a class with them if you can or just go and talk to them. Tell them what you've done, why you're interested in the research, and i'm SURE you'll find SOMETHING there!</p>
<p>I'm not even accepted (yet?) and I have a BME research lined up for me that i'm currently working on and I'm not even a BME major!! (I got it from summer precollege). So really, there are TONS of opportunities if you just look for it. <--- One of innumerable reasons why I LOVE JHU!!!</p>
<p>There are a number of biorobotics and bioinformatics programs at Hopkins. Through the various bioengineering options - but also you should check out the Computer Science Department (<a href="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/academics.html)%5B/url%5D">http://www.cs.jhu.edu/academics.html)</a>. They have a number of research and lab areas in robotics. Check out all their research areas here: <a href="http://www.cs.jhu.edu/research_labs.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.cs.jhu.edu/research_labs.html</a></p>
<p>Sweet. I love JHU.</p>
<p>good. lets keep those opinions people!</p>
<p>Hmm, are researches available for freshmen generally? I would guess that upperclass men have more experience, thus more researches are taken by upperclassmen?</p>
<p>ultimatemath, yes, and yes. Plus as a BME one of the first classes you take (BME Design Team or Models for Life) you'll be doing research. At least in Design Team you and your team are trying to build an original/novel device. You guys have no idea how fascinating BME is at JHU. Ahh I wish I could put it into words.</p>
<p>the courseload looks so freakin' awesome
i am so psyched</p>
<p>Though the higher percentage of research opportunities will be for upperclass men AND WOMEN, freshmen at Hopkins do have a suprisingly large number of research opportunities -- much more than most universities. If you have the initiative, you will be able to find a position.</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>
<p>Just an opinion here, but I don't see much upside to do research as a freshman. Coming into Hopkins, particularlly the engineering school, there is a lot more that you should be worried about than padding your resume with research. I would hold off on it for a year just to get a feel for how the academics are and find that social niche that you fit into. Chances that you will really get into the fun stuff in research as a freshmen is also very small, heck its taken me 3 years to find something I like here. Like others said, there are a ton of opportunities, but in my opinion before you go crazy looking for academic stuff to do find out what college is about, have some fun, and get your academics straightened out first. My 2 cents</p>
<p>I totally see spe07's point. Actually that was what I was gonna ask.</p>
<p>Yay!</p>
