Actually, the University of Minnesota offers a Biomedical engineering degree for undergrads. I initially was planning on doing biomedical engineering but decided that I was too interested in biology for that degree to satisfy me. I actually get that a lot about my involvement in FIRST and not going on to an engineering degree. While I am tempted to go for an engineering degree and then medical school, it's just not for me.

Just a bit more information about me: I was the design and fabrication lead on my team as well as captain for 2 years. I wouldn't say that I'm an expert in CAD but I know my way around. I am interested in the mechanical side of robotics. Basically, I'm interested in biology because living things are just such cool machines! It's crazy how efficient things are after million years of evolution and how there's still so many limitations. This also explains (at least partly) my interest in becoming a surgeon.

I am not expecting to get into the super specialized stuff but I at least want the basics under my belt if it's not too much of a hassle to fit into my schedule.

thanks, Vivek
