3. Do not base it on paycheck. Do not base it on your aunt or uncle. Take a look at the books at the senior level at the bookstore…what excites you? What book do you want to learn now? General Advice in Deciding a Major

4. AEs research, develop, and design aircraft and spacecraft components and systems for government, military and commercial enterprises. AEs study propulsion, orbital mechanics, aerospace structures, vibrations, acoustics, materials. AEs work wherever things fly, from hummingbird drones, to hypersonic defense systems to the space station. Aerospace Engineering

5. AE senior design projects include design- build-fly for remote drone and rocket launch vehicles and work with AEDC. AEs get hired by General Motors, Boeing, NAVAIR, USAF, Gulfstream, NASA, etc. Many AEs also go to grad school, or get MBAs. Aerospace Engineering

6. BMEs research, develop and design technologies and products used in medicine and medical research including medical instruments, medical imaging, prosthetics and tools for rehabilitation and drug delivery. BMEs often work closely with physicians and other health care providers. Many BMEs also attend medical school or get BME graduate degrees. Courses in human tissue, anatomy and physiology, blood/lung/fluid flow, drug delivery, BME lab, BME senior design. Biomedical Engineering

7. Synthetic Cadaver Lab – 1 st of its kind in Engineering in World Jordan Leith, a graduate of Arlington High School in Arlington, Tennessee Matthew Lamsey, a graduate of Signal Mountain High School in Signal Mountain, Tennessee. Max Burzinski, a graduate of Washington County Technical High School in Hagerstown, Maryland. Grant Rigney, a graduate of Tullahoma High School in Normandy, Tennessee. Synthetic Cadaver Lab and MABEline is now part of undergrad BME education.

8. BME senior design projects include clinical shadowing and device design experience. BMEs get hired by DeRoyal, Siemens, Zimmer, Microport Orthopedics, Zoll Medical Corporation and others Many BMEs go to graduate or medical school Biomedical Engineering

9. ME is a very broad area, impacting almost every area of society. MEs are employed in almost every field. Generally involves energy conversion to power. MEs work on many systems including power plants, medical devices, engines, automobiles, ships, robotics, aircraft, control systems, manufacturing devices and processes, sensors, fuel cells, batteries, turbines, pumps, air- conditioning and refrigeration systems……etc. Mechanical Engineering

10. ME senior design projects include EcoCar3, Boeing, AEDC, Denso, Eastman, Accurouter, Clayton Homes, VolTank, Lexmark, EPRI, others. Mechanical Engineering MEs are hired nearly everywhere. Many MEs go to grad school, law school, or get MBAs.
