<p>I was wondering how good the BME program at UConn was. I mean is it viewed as a fairly good program? Thanks in advance for all your help.</p>
<p>I am in it. Lemme say this much, be sure it is definitely what you want to do. If not your in for hell. The classes are not easy. The 2nd semester "Intro BME class" teaches us circuit theory and all of that sort of stuff. There is a circuits course that is required for BMEs 2nd semester soph year. Let me put it this way, if you ask non BMEs in the circuit class, most of whom are EE's, they can't do the stuff we do. I have asked EE's who have taken the circuits classes how to do hmwk problems, and many of them don't know how to do them. So we learn at a high level right from the start</p>
<p>Now here is the perk that Uconn BMEs have, that not many other freshmen BMEs in the country have, if at all. Second semester we have a lab as part of our curiculum. We do all sorts of biomeasurements using BIOPAC, something thatm any schools dont teach you/let you use until jr year. This is thanks to a big donation the program got, apparently we are the only ones to around to have BME labs this early in our careers.</p>
<p>Your advisor for your 4 years is also the director of the BME program and he is very well known worldwide. He was the main author of the most used BME book in the world Introduction to Biomedical Engineering. He is also writing another book, and he is using pieces of it to teach us. He also is the editor of EMBS magazine, the BME magazine for the country.</p>
<p>How does it compare with other ungergrad BME programs out there?</p>
<p>I think its just as good as other programs if not better. We have some very good study abroads also.</p>
