Biomedical engineering isn’t just a major, it’s a way of thinking. In this episode, professors Jessica McLaughlin, Corey Neu, and James Long explore what makes biomedical engineering unique and how it connects interdisciplinary knowledge to solve real-world healthcare problems. We discuss how BME differs from neighboring disciplines like mechanical or electrical, why the field is growing, and how biomedical engineers serve as a bridge between teams. I also sit down with a current BME pre-med student to hear why the major is meaningful to them and how they balance a demanding workload with other goals.

If you’re wondering what a biomedical engineering degree can actually lead to, or you’re someone who wants to help people, think across disciplines, and turn ideas into impact, this episode offers a closer look at what BME is really about.

Think aerospace engineering is just about space? Think again. In this episode, I am joined by Kurt Maute, Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education and aerospace engineering professor, and Savannah Moore, Professional Academic Advisor in aerospace, to explore what the major is really like and whether it could be the right fit for you.

We get down to business: Is aerospace too rigid, too difficult, or too specialized? How can students explore different interests while staying on track? And what can an aerospace engineering degree actually lead to? For Open Option students trying to choose a major, this episode offers an encouraging reminder that your career path is far more flexible than you might think. Whether you’re interested in aircraft, spacecraft, drones, satellites, or simply exploring your options, this episode offers a realistic look at aerospace engineering and where it could take you. 

Not sure what CTD is? You’re not alone. And that’s exactly what makes it so cool!

From games and design to robotics, fabrication, and playful tech, this major is all about turning creativity into real-world projects. If you’ve got a lot of interests and want room to explore, CTD might be your perfect fit.

Join me and CU Professor and Lab Director, Danny Rankin, to explore and demystify this exciting major.

In this introductory episode, we’re kicking off a journey through CU Boulder's engineering and applied science majors.

I'm your host, Clare Kelly, and through conversations with professors, students, and other staff, we’ll explore what makes each major unique, and reasons it may be a good fit for you.

So, let’s get started and discover the people, paths, and possibilities in the College of Engineering and Applied Science.
