<p>Separate post to mom on the bio-med/mech eng question.</p>
<p>Would love to get some feedback on this as well.</p>
<p>I’m assuming Bama does not have a BME major because it is a state school, and UAB offers it, so no need to duplicate state money for two nearby institutions. Also not offered at Auburn.</p>
<p>I would like to see the link where they talk of mech eng doing biomed work and if they do offer courses similar to bme majors.</p>
<p>I looked at the chemical and biological engineering department, and their curriculum seems more geared toward chemical engineering, way outside of son’s interest. He’s interested in developing prosthetics, not just limbs, but also eyes and ears. Thus the extra interest in UAB, with the optometry school there. Even though UAB is not his first choice school, he’s more open to it as his southern option, and as a possibility for graduate work.</p>
<p>Since some mention was made of internships in the Birmingham area, is it possible that Bama does offer some courses that would prepare students for internship in the biomed or biotechnology field?</p>
<p>Would love some input on this. Thanks</p>
