Purduves: Bioengineering vs. Design: MEMS, NEMS, Mechatronics???

So it finally happened. Tests were taken, recommendations were written, shit was gotten together, and the application was submitted. The result was an admission to Purdue University's Graduate School of Mechanical Engineering (referred to as PurDUVES by the cool kids). Who woulda thunk it. 3-years at Jarvik and I'm back in the dorms, with an RA, but without the meal plan (to date). How I was admitted? Don't ask me. My undergraduate GPA sure wasn't the reason. I think Dr. J's recommendation letter swayed some admission committee opinions. Nathalie and Dr. Couetil also might have pulled some strings, but here I am at a crossroad once again.

Anyways, fall 2009 semester courses were chosen. Now comes the hard part of convincing a professor that he needs me to do some research for him so I can narrow down what the hell I'm going to be doing (and paying for) these next 2-years.

My research interests include: Bioengineering and Design. Where it stems from there, I have no idea. More research on a research topic has to be done, but I would like to get my hands dirty within micro/nanotechnology biomedical applications or medatronics (combination of mechanical and electronic systems, or so says wikipedia).

More news to come.
