The BME program is great - it lets students learn the biomedical side of
engineering, while still providing all the core mechanical courses - resulting in a
very robust degree. – K. Evans

Testimonials
• "In your degree you learn a lot of theoretical knowledge and equations
that you don't really apply to real world problems, MecE 415 teaches
you how to approach new problems and actually solve them“
• "Its a class where you learn to be a real engineer, one that actually
solves problems. (Problems regarding phonebooks and tanks or the
dangers of water heater rockets, but problems nonetheless!)“
• "Busting Myths with Analysis doesn't teach you more "theoretical stuff",
it teaches you how to put the "theoretical stuff" the faculty spent the
last four years shoe-horning into your head to good use solving
problems you've never seen before and can't find in a normal boring
textbook"
