UCSD or Michigan

Graduate School

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Which would you recommend:</p>

<p>UCSD or Michigan for Bioengineering focusing on implantable bioelectronics and MEMS</p>

<p>Thanks,
Go</p>

<p>anyone at all?</p>

<p>Pick the one with a potential advisor doing work closest to what you want to do. Reputation and location don't mean much if you're not doing what you want to do.</p>

<p>Well, the thing is, Im currently at Michigan and am doing research which I really enjoy. Plus, my advisor really wants me to stay on with him and do a PhD. My concern is about staying at the same university for both undergrad and grad. Moreover, Michigan really sucks (if you've lived there your whole life).</p>

<p>In any case, according to the UCSD website there are only a handful of people workin on MEMS for bio applications. I was wondering if anyone whose at UCSD could elaborate a little bit about the state of MEMS research at UCSD.</p>

<p>Contact some grad students working at UCSD - if they aren't listed on the website, the grad office should be able to supply you with contacts to discuss the program.</p>
