<p>Hey Everyone, </p>

<p>I went to an open house at RIT and there was a grad student doing research on biosignal processing, which combined biology and electrical engineering. The grad student was creating a sensor system to detect when a heart goes into atrial fibrillation. </p>

<p>I would like to do something similar to what he is doing because I like math and would like to work in the medical field but can't stand the monotony of studying bio. I would like to be an engineer, and create things. </p>

<p>What schools have strong biomedical, and electrical engineering programs with an entrepreneurial program? </p>

<p>Can anyone comment on RPI strength in these programs?</p>

<p>I know at michigan a lot of biomedical guys also do minors in EE or take many classes in EE. I believe the biomedical department forces its undergrads to atleast minor is some other engineering field. I have had a decent amount of bio medical engineers in my classes in EE, even in some 300 and 400 level classes</p>

<p>Maybe that might be something that is attractive to you.</p>

<p>If that’s true about UMichigan I’d say it’s a good idea because in my opinion, a Bioengineering B.S. alone doesn’t prepare you for much of anything.</p>
