<p>Hey everyone,</p>
<p>I've seen a few posts on here about bioengineering vs other engineering paths. </p>
<p>I have a two (broad) main fields that I'd love to work in which are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Prosthetics</li>
<li>Tissue engineering (stem cells, etc)</li>
</ul>
<p>I've read that a mechanical/electrical/chemical engineering degree would be more useful than a bioengineering degree on many sites. As bioengineers are seen as a jack of all trades and a master of none. </p>
<p>Needless to say it got me a bit worried.</p>
<p>So, on to my problem. I'm currently a MS student in molecular biology and biotechnology. I have a BS in biology. </p>
<p>I've found a program in bioengineering where you get a professional (instead of research/academic) MS in bioengineering, that would take about 3 semesters and does not require a thesis.</p>
<p>I'm trying to get a marketable degree, and constantly see how the degrees I have now are practically useless, and I felt like I've wasted a lot of time/money pursuing these degrees. So before I waste more time/money, I was looking for any advice someone could give on the pros/cons of following this degree. </p>
<p>I'd be fine doing a research MS degree in bioengineering, but if it would only be useful to get a phd I won't bother. </p>
<p>Thanks to anyone who provides some advice.</p>
