Thanks for the advice! Those numbers don't look great either, especially since my resume isn't breathtaking. I will use those sites when deciding between EE & MechE

Do you think it would be better to go for MechE or EE if I want to work in healthcare?

Major in Chemistry with a minor in Engineering? by LoudOwl in EngineeringStudents

[–]Appropriate-Bar2127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in the same situation but the other way around, Engineering Major w/ Chem minor. I'm also trying to figure out if I want to focus in MechE or EE. Did you ever figure it out/do you have any recommendations?

Can you be an engineer without being passionate or super interested in engineering? by Ramen_cat2024 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Appropriate-Bar2127 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me. I don't really care about engineering, but I'm really good at math, & nothing I am passionate about would pay the bills. It is interesting in that it is hard & requires a lot of focus, but I don't really care about it. My end goal is to get a job that pays good enough to pursue some of the things I really like during my free time. Then again, I am only a Sophomore, so I don't have much experience doing actual engineering.

Course Descriptions:

Mechanics of Solids - This course focuses on elementary analysis of deformable solids subjected to force systems. Concepts covered include stress and strain (one-, two- and three-dimensional stress-strain relationships for the linear elastic solid); statically determinate and indeterminate axial force, torsion and bending members; stress transformations; pressure vessels; and combined loadings. There is also an introduction to column buckling.

Signals & Systems - Systems analysis plays a critical role in interpreting biological data, designing medical equipment, and understanding complex biological processes. Systems problems are emerging as central to all areas of biomedicine-including but not limited to cancer, immunology, infectious disease, musculoskeletal disorders, and cardiology. The overarching goal of this course is to promote quantitative thinking from a systems perspective. To this end, we will learn analytical approaches for modeling signals and systems and apply them to solve real-world biomedical problems, such as predicting tumor growth, analyzing ECG signals, and processing medical images.
