<p>Well, I'm going to cornell for Biological Engineering this year yet I suddenly realized that I've probably idealized it to what I wanted it to be, and never looked at the reality side of this major. I don't know all that well what this major is about and what it'll take me to.</p>
<p>So here are a few simple questions I need you guys to help me clearify.</p>
<p>1) What are my academic options after it?
2) What are my career options?
3) Who will I work for?</p>
<p>thx</p>
<p>I'm not sure about Biological Engineering per say but If you take the word roots and whatnot, you're engineering for giving life to the planet. You can create water system filters that can help third-world countries, more greenhouses to absorb CO2 emissions on rooftops and stuff. It's actually pretty cool and since I want to do engineering, I think it's one of the best fields. More information can be found on their website:

<p>Career Options are like working with companies that deal with that environment, I can't think of any right now but there are a lot of opportunities. Maybe like NSF and stuff. </p>
<p>If you want more information, I'll try to find undergraduates in Cornell that are majoring that field. Or you could always email the college, that helps!! </p>
<p>My friend is going for Pre-med or Business, I'll ask her if she can obtain info next year or something.</p>
<p>This is probably help you out</p>

<p>A lot depends on your concentrations. Cornell has 3</p>
<ol>
<li>Biomedical - Making Artificial Organs, MRI Machines etc</li>
<li>Bioprocess - Pharmaceutical Track</li>
<li>Environmental - Self Explanatory</li>
