Mechanical vs Biomedical Engineering: What's the Difference between the Majors?

The Summary The Transcript

Everywhere he looks, mechanical engineering major Paul Ferrer (ENG'24) sees physics and math at work: the efficiency of an air-conditioning system, the weight that a structure can carry, the ability of a plane to become airborne. For biomedical engineering major Arjavi Vyas (ENG'24), her academic life is not only physics and math, it's also biology, human physiology, and chemistry.

In the latest installment of our video series Compare Mode, which pairs two Terriers from similar majors and asks them to talk about what makes their respective programs unique, Ferrer and Vyas discuss the academic demands of their program, the career possibilities available to them, and (surprise!) the unexpected upside of homework. Take a look.
