Hey everyone, I am currently studying for a Bachelor's degree in Biology, but I’ve grown interest in the engineering and technology side of things. Specifically, I want to apply engineering concepts to animal care, wildlife protection, and conservation technology (e.g., developing telemetry devices, non-invasive monitoring tools, or biomechanical solutions for species preservation).

I'm considering applying for a Master’s in Bioengineering (or Biomedical Engineering), but I have a few questions for anyone who has taken a similar path:

• Is Bioengineering the best fit for wildlife tech? I notice a lot of bioengineering programs lean heavily toward human medicine, medical devices, or tissue engineering. Would a degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Environmental Engineering serve conservation tech or animal technological care better?
• Fieldwork vs. Lab work: For those working in conservation engineering, how much of your job actually involves working outside in the field versus being stuck in a lab or office? I'm really keen on spending time out in the field testing tech, and I'm curious if certain engineering subfields offer more hands-on outdoor opportunities than others.
• Bridging the math/engineering gap: Coming from a bio background, what core engineering coursework (Calculus, Physics, Thermodynamics, Coding) should I expect to make up before or during the program?
• Career landscape: Are there specific programs, labs, or industry roles focused on conservation engineering that I should look into?

Would love to hear from anyone who transitioned from pure bio to engineering, or anyone working at the intersection of tech and wildlife conservation. Thanks in advance!

I am a sophomore in college studying chemical engineering, interested in biotech. This summer I did research in a bioengineering lab, and this school year I will be doing research in a biology lab. I got a grant to do more research next summer. I'm wondering if I should do that, or try to get an internship at a biotech company. Should I be aiming to get a master's or PhD, or is just having a bachelors degree enough to work in the industry and have good career progression?

Hey guys, I posted about this settlement before, but since claims are now open, I decided to share it again with a little FAQ.

So here's all I know about this agreement:

Cassava Sciences was accused of misleading investors about the research supporting simufilam, its data-management controls, and the drug’s prospects. After Science reported a CUNY investigation involving a professor linked to simufilam, $SAVA fell 15% on October 13, 2023, and investors filed a lawsuit.

Now the company has agreed to settle $31.25 million with investors over these claims.

• Who can claim this settlement?

If you purchased $SAVA securities between 2020 and 2023, you may be eligible to participate.

• Do I need to sell/lose my shares to get this settlement?

You don’t need to still own your shares. What matters is whether your purchases fall within the class period and meet the settlement’s eligibility requirements.

• How long does the payout process take?

It typically takes 4 to 9 months after the claim deadline for payouts to be processed, depending on the court and settlement administration.

Hope this info helps

Please upvote and do this 3 minute survey for me if you can, I’d really appreciate it!!!

Before I finalize my decision in majoring in Biomedical Engineering I want to know the consequences and the benefits. Learning about BME interested me a lot and I think I might enjoy it but I don’t want to be fast on my des ion I want to take my time and hear other people who alrdy majored in it. What should I know? What degree should I aim for? Is the pay high? I did hear that finding a job is difficult but many people said as long as you have lots of internship that’s fine? Please any advice would be great. Should I completely remove BME out of my head bc it’s the worst major and look for smth else or should I pursue this career path? But if their are BME graduates out their who enjoyed everything about it and don’t care about the bad side of it, please comment about what made you love it. And I also live in NY, idk if that changes things?

Basically, I am thinking of studying Biomedical Engineering once I graduate, and I now have to pick my classes for level 2 (which is apparently the most important year?), and I am in a pickle. So far, I have decided to take Physics and Calculus (the most important engineering subjects), probably Chemistry, and English. I am also taking music so I can have a chill class amongst all of the intense subjects. My goal is to get Excellence endorsement and prioritize my rank score. This leaves me with one final subject, and I am debating whether I should take Biology. The thing is, I really enjoy Biology; it is my favourite science, but if I am already taking all of these classes, should I really be taking Biology? A few people have told me that apparently Biology isn't necessary for Biomedical Engineering at all and that they teach it to you in Uni. IDK PLS HELP!!!!

I'm at u of t for life sciences and am considering doing a MAsc degree at the bme Institute afterwards. would that nail me decent job prospects in saudi Arabia? anything with 6 figures?

Heyy everyone I'm a biology student and my first year subjects are maths,electrical engineering and physics and I'm very tensed coz my physics wasn't god coz I didn't study it in my 11 12th and maths is okyishh but I didn't study it after 10th coz I chose pcb to plzz koi ye btado ki physics me konse basics clear krlun taki btech bt ke first year me dikkt na ho....😭😭the teachers told our batch ki it'll be basic and we're getting one more chance to study phy maths again if we haven't studied them earlier....

I’m currently doing a BTech in Biotechnology (India) and will graduate in around 9 months.

The main thing I’m sure about is that I don’t want to go into core biotech/biology-related roles after graduation.

I initially started looking into Business Analytics because it seemed like a good transition from an engineering degree into the business side of companies. I’ve been considering learning things like Excel, SQL, Power BI, Python, etc.

But with how quickly AI is improving, I’m now worried about spending the next 6–12 months preparing for a career where a lot of the entry-level work could become automated.

I’m therefore trying to figure out what my realistic options are.

I’m also considering doing an MBA later after gaining some work ex, so I’m trying to choose an initial career path that would give me useful experience rather than just taking any random job after graduation.

For people who are already working in these fields:

1. Which non-core/non-tech career paths would you recommend for someone with a biotech engineering background?

2. Which of these fields do you think will remain relatively valuable as AI becomes more capable?

3. Is Business Analytics still worth pursuing in 2026, or should I be looking at something adjacent to it?

4. If you were in my position with \~9 months left before graduation, what skills would you learn and what entry-level roles would you target?

Any advice on specific career paths, skills, certifications, projects, or mistakes to avoid would be really appreciated.

So let me give u a context

I have done bsc in botany

Now applied for msc biotech

Want to go for bioinformatics field

Am i going right

What ar ur suggestions..?

Hello, I am a final year bio-industrial engineering student and i was wondering where can i find internships opportunities (other than linkedin)

Hi! I'm starting Biomedical Engineering, and one of the main reasons I became interested in this field is the idea of creating technology that can interact directly with the human body and nervous system.

In the future, I'd love to work on brain-computer interfaces, neural engineering, advanced prosthetics, and especially immersive technologies where people could interact with digital environments through neural signals instead of only using traditional controllers.

I know that highly immersive neural systems are still far from what current technology can do, but I would like to build my career toward that direction.

Is Biomedical Engineering a good starting point for this?

What should I focus on during my degree: neuroscience, programming, electronics, signal processing, AI, or something else?

And if you work in this area, what path did you take?

I'm thinking of transitioning from a biochemistry background into energy infrastructure. I'm trying to understand what technical skills actually distinguish someone who can contribute to power/energy systems work. From your experience, what would you prioritize during the next 12–18 months? Is biochem still reliable for this goal?

Hi All - I've been working at a BME at a start-up in the Orthotics & Prosthetics Industry for the past 7+ years. I've learned a lot about entrepreneurship, products, and business to build on my BME skillset. It's been okay; I helped scale the company to 250+ clinics so it's been a good exercise in new ventures. But still, pay is low, and hours are not stable. Where do you think would be a good place to pivot? I do like the idea/vibe of the field, but looking for somewhere new to go, and I'd like to bring what I know into something else. Where is the money here?
