What engineering degree do I need to get to create and research augs?

You don't need one to do hobby level shit.

>>8848838
biomedical

Is bioengineering technically the same?

>>8850732
I believe that's more about artificial organs(stem cell research) rather than the tech of augs but it's definitely in the same field

That would be biomechanical engineering at my uni

Medical prosthesis.

>>8848838
A lot of different fields go into bodily augmentations. Neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and mechanical engineering are the big ones. Otherwise, you might have electrical engineering (for the expensive/futuristic stuff), chemical engineering (if the augment is internal or otherwise chemically functioning), and a bit of psychological testing.

Oh, and materials science. Possibly computer science in the future.

>>8850694
i thought biomedical was for shit like pacemakers

>>8850795
I mean yeah if you only do an undergrad, but my friend who's finishing up his masters is working on high-tech prosthetic's right now

Thanks for replying back Anon, which do you think is better to take if you want to work on brain to machine interfaces?

>>8850852
the main thing you need to know when going into engineering is that you can do whatever you want with your degree, someone else above stated that there are many sub fields within the prosthetic's and augs field. neuroscience is more about the inner workings of brains, while bio/biomedical engineering are more about the parts. If you are serious about this, i would suggest you to mechanical engineering as you can essentially do whatever you want once you can some good knowledge about the field. even if it doesn't work out you can always jump boat to something else within mechanical.

Cybernetics/robotics

You could either do a specialized degree for this field (biomedial/bioengineering), or another engineering degree that would be needed for augs (mechanical, electrical, systems, etc.). A team working on these things would need members from multiple fields.

yeah I'm split between doing bioengineering and then doing a master in biomed, or like you said go into mechanical and then take the master in biomed. I'm looking at Temple university atm

Would I be able to apply to med school with a mechanical engineering degree considering I took the prerequisite bio/organic chem/math/ etc?

Which option would give me a greater chance of getting an interview or get into the field of neuroscience? If I took the MS or PhD in biomed at temple or if I took an MD and became a neurologist? Reason I'm intent on going to temple is because it's reasonably affordable and their university has done a fair share of research into bioeng/med. My other option is Drexel and they too are located in philly
