I am from Papua New Guinea and we don't have biomedical engineering in the country. I have the passion to this course but because we don't have materials and resources to provide ourselves with biomedical knowledge. We really appreciate you for your presentation.
Hey, this video really motivates me! I had a cancerous tumour that was grown in my left brain when I was 13 years old it had affected my right side’s strength/mobility and has screwed me up ever since. I’m 17 now thinking about what to major in the future I had been always interested in sciences and I think biomedical medical engineering really fits me.
Wow, this comment truly means so much to me and motivates me to continue what I do! I’m so glad you found it informative and inspiring. This field is truly rewarding and great if you love science! And I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles with your brain tumor, and hope you are doing better now! 🙂
Yesss pls talk more about BME ,, it rlly helps me a lot ! Pls talk on how to land a good job right after college and How was the learning process during college. Loved this vid
What a great video! I’m a junior in high school planning to study biomedical engineering but I’m always contemplating whether it’s the right job for me. This video was very helpful!
Thank you for this video! I graduated with my bachelors in 2019,but I always wanted to do engineering...but I didn’t have the courage to do so. I’m currently thinking about going back to get a second bachelors in mechanical engineering but will focus in biomedical engineering. I also like your sweater! ☺️
I'm glad it could be helpful! And you can definitely do it! Just find people to study with and don't get too bogged down because it always works out! I highly recommend the field in general, I really have enjoyed working in it! And thanks you 😊 it's from Target haha
Thank you for all your hard work in this field! You truly are making such a difference in so many patients lives! I loved learning about your journey and why you wanted to become a biomedical engineer! I also love math and science but never considered engineering because I thought it sounded boring ( I knew nothing about what it actually was!) Also, I went to UConn, a Syracuse rival 😏😂
Oh, a huge Syracuse rival! And thank you so much! I wasn't always passionate about it, but the more I realized what it actually was, the more I started to love it! And engineering conceptually seems boring haha, but you're going to be such an amazing teacher ❤️
Honestly, thank you so much for this! I've wanted to pursue this field since I was literally in 6th grade, but I've worried that I'm a little too set on it considering I'm only a senior in high school. This video for sure helps me solidify that I know what I'm getting myself into lol
I’m so glad this helped you know what you’re getting yourself into! It’s a very fulfilling career path, and honestly I still had a ton of fun in college (even with all the work 😂)
Oh my gosh, I’m so glad it could help you!! I remember not being able to find a ton on the field when I was looking as well, so I wanted to create something I wish I could’ve seen! Good luck in your journey ☺️
Hi, i decided be BME. Indeed, i love this profession and each times that i learn more about the possibility of discoveries of this path i became more excited.
you're soo good at explaining! please make more videos about bioengineering or any college related. i'll go to college this year. my dream major isn't bioengineering but i'm interested to take bioengineering as my backup plan. well still i wish i can get my dream major🤗
Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I always hope I'm explaining well. I'll try and make more, I have some ideas written down! And I hope you get your dream major too! Dreams are so important 😊
Here from Malawi. Am already taking biomedical engineering. Though our career options aren't many as yours, but I love what am Doing. Am in second year now thank you for the motivation.
What job position do you have? I’m interested in working in hospitals and operating rooms also as a Biomedical Engineer, so i’d like to know what positions to look out for and/or companies!!
Amazing video, Thanks a lot. I'm currently doing Bachelor's in Biomedical engineering and want to get a masters degree. Can you make a video on what classes you choose and how you got the job and about the company you are working for right now. That would be very helpful. :) :)
Yes, I had plans to make a video on how I got my job!!! For the classes I chose though, our curriculum was pretty set, except for like 2 technical classes, and I actually got a minor in psychology, so I didn't choose too many extra engineering classes 😊 but I'm so glad the video was helpful, and I will definitely make another about getting into the industry! Also, congrats on studying engineering and pursuing a master's eventually, not easy work 👏🏻
@@RayaSunshine That would be great! Will definitely be waiting for the next video. A minor in psychology is very interesting though. Thankyou so much. ❤️
So I'm trying to do a master's in BME. What math courses did you take? I took calc 1 and statistics. I tried calc 2 but it was too difficult even though I love math. So I'm a little worried I'm going to have to deal with calc 2 and above.
This is very interesting you seem really passionate about your field 💜. I also am not the greatest fan of physics. I did my bachelor’s in environmental science and now I am doing a master’s in ag/environmental engineering. I’m not an engineer by training, nor will I be after my master’s, so I struggle sometimes with more technical aspects though I do have scientific training so it’s not impossible (it’s more so in ecology/biology though).
The technical side was always something I struggled with honestly! I just started to get it more once I started my job. But your major sounds so interesting and I love the passion you have for the environment. Thank you for the support and comment ❤️
Hi, thanks so much for this video! This video reminded me of why I initially decided to transfer to BME., but I've been concerned with Job prospects since most of the internet says companies would rather hire ME, or EE. But after getting accepted into a few colleges I now have to decide between BME or ChemEng(which is more broad), or BioEng with a concentration in Bioinformatics which I fear I'd have to get a master's or PhD to qualify for most of the jobs out there. Do you know stories of anyone in bioinformatics? Also, do you see the potential for you to be promoted at your current job, or do you see yourself staying at the same position for years to come? Thanks Raya!
I do not know anyone personally in bioinformatics, but I think it does require at least a master’s to get in! But you can always look at job postings and see what requirements they are looking for. And I’ve been at the same position for going on 2 years, but I’ve transferred to a site that requires a lot more responsibility. And definitely able to see a promotion availability opening up. I haven’t had experience of people wanting a MechE or EE. It’s truly all in your skill set and how you sell yourself. My sister is actually a chemical engineer, so I don’t think you could choose wrong either way!
I am in my final year in mechanical engineering and my final project on simulation of coronary artery (heart). I am searching master in biomedical engineering but you said biomedical was a broad field, which branch I chose in biomedical can you suggest to me and where I am applying.
It all depends on interest!! Like medical devices, research, tissue engineering, etc. look at available programs and pick the one that peaks your interest!
I’ve heard that if you would want to into biomed engin you should major in mech engin bc of job markets reasons and employers prefer mechE degree. What’s your take on this
I haven’t personally seen this! My company would hire a MechE, but almost all of us are biomed. If you wanted to do MechE, and focus on bioengineering, I’d recommend getting a minor that would align!! But I can see that argument, since MechE is even broader than bioengineering. But honestly, any job you’re going to get, you just have to know how to pitch yourself and your skill set!
So I actually had to take 4 math classes! Calculus 1-3 and Differential Equations/ Linear Algebra. Tons of math, but I’ve heard of others that didn’t love math and still do what I do! (I don’t really use any math for my current job). And thanks for the love! I really appreciate it 😃🤍
I'm in early college right now. I want to be a biomedical engineer. Since I'm still in high school, I'm forced to get an an associate of arts so, so far, my math classes are college algebra and general biology. Do you have any recommendations for math classes I should take now?
Huge question maybe you already answered this already! Why not go Mechanical Engineer since they are supposedly more versatile, and then specialize in biotechnology?
I think a minor in neuroscience would be great!! I know at my university it was also really easy to double major since so many classes overlap! I think it was 18 more credits for a second major, so maybe look into that as well!!
@@rae7269 maybe you could try to get a nursing job at a hospital that is affiliated with a university. Sometimes they will waive tuition for continuing education.
Depending on the area you’re in, I think there is opportunities! I’m in NYC and there’s plenty of jobs here. And engineers are lucky to qualify for a wide array of jobs. All depends on what you’re looking for
I would recommend any that are ABET accredited, just because that’s standard for the field! It truly depends on what you’re looking for in a college to know where to go!
Yes! My university required everyone to take chemistry again (unless you got the highest score in AP or IB), just because it was so important to the degree. I’d check with a few universities you’re interested in to be sure though!
Absolutely!! Especially if that is something that interests you and you're interested in biotechnology or software side, computer science is great! Tbh, should've tried more CS because it can really help 😊
Oh my gosh, thank you! And that’s cool that your video is about the very specific engineering you do! Love that UA-cam allowed us to connect from across the globe 😃
Eyy Raya am about to start my Alevels I want to do biomedical engineering but am not quite sure which subjects to do i know maths and chemistry is important but do i need physics or biology for me to qualify
Biology and physics were a part of my curriculum for sure!! Any math and science classes will generally help you. Also anything involving coding or troubleshooting is a good experience
Ok so for alevel subjects i need to have physics maths computer science and chemistry is that ok or the chemistry can be replaced with biology is there much chemistry in biomedical engineering and thank you for the reply 🤗🥰🥰
Make friends with people in your major!! Once I started doing this, studying became less daunting and I honestly created some amazing memories from it!
Yes! Very good school and it is ABET accredited, which means it meets the standards of the bioengineering field and makes sure graduates are ready for whatever they choose after undergrad!!
Bioengineering and biomedical emgineering are two different majors. I graduated biomedical emgineering two years ago, ive been unemployed ever since, i hope i die soon. This major is hot trash
At my school, they were the same major and you could cater it towards what side you liked more with technical electives! And I'm really sorry that you haven't had a great experience with the major or industry. I hope you're able to find something that fits you better and makes you happy 🙂
AHHH THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! im a junior in highschool wanting to major in biomedical engineering!!
Oh my gosh, that's so awesome! I would highly recommend, I overall had a good experience 😊

Compare between bachelor biomedical equipment technology & bachelor biomedical engineering?
Good Information Thank you
What school did you take biomedical engineering in? Do we start as a mechanical engineering program major?
I went to Syracuse University and I didn’t have to start as a mechanical!!
@@RayaSunshine how do we pay for living? I currently work as a nurse and rent. If i go back to school could i still work? I need to pay my bills.
@@rae7269 maybe you could try to get a nursing job at a hospital that is affiliated with a university. Sometimes they will waive tuition for continuing education.
What are the key subjects to take BME? When you say Science does it mean all sciences or is there a specific science?
honestly, the job prospects of bs bme even with a specialisation scares me. I do love the field, bio and math, but I'm hesitant lol.
Depending on the area you’re in, I think there is opportunities! I’m in NYC and there’s plenty of jobs here. And engineers are lucky to qualify for a wide array of jobs. All depends on what you’re looking for

A short question 🙋♂️ could I take biomedical engineering if I didn’t take chemistry in A-level?
Yes! My university required everyone to take chemistry again (unless you got the highest score in AP or IB), just because it was so important to the degree. I’d check with a few universities you’re interested in to be sure though!

Why is this degree destroying my mental health
I’m so sorry to hear that it is! It’s definitely a stressful major at times. I hope it gets better for you
How long does it takes to finish from bachelor to phd for bio engineering?
Undergrad is 4 and then a PhD program is 4-6!! But, you do get paid a stipend while you do your PhD 😊
