Hi,

I'm currently a Mechanical Engineering major but for graduate school, I intend to study Biomedical Engineering. My interest is in artificial organs and prosthetics.

How can I successfully gain entry into those fields?

Is research in artificial organs and prosthetics done mostly in academia or industry?

Research Rightwards Arrow Academia

I have two friends that do this. They work long hours and are on-call 24/7 - it's painful. Let's say someone needs a value, they make it almost in real-time, based on the patient's specifications. Both of my friends got into it without even going to school for it. One was studying biology, became a teacher, couldn't find a job as a teacher, so found work in this industry.
