[@josephmoore3954]

Thank you for posting this series of videos! It has answered all of my questions about Bioengineering. I am now thoroughly convinced that Bioengineering is the discipline for me. Now time to find a school and learn how to apply engineering facets to plants.

[@josephmoore3954]

and possibly a minor; Botany? hmmmmmmmmmmm....

hey, did you study it? :)

[@dishaa8691]

heyy!! what are you doing now?

[@noonedidthistome]

excellent lecture - very helpful for this parent with a rising senior considering BioEngineering (& trying to understand what BioEngineering & other fields being considered are/are not).
Big Takeaway not related to the lecture content: if only one camera, focus the camera on the lecture slides, not on the lecturer... otherwise, the video is no better than an audio file

[@sesarman]

thanks for showing us the slides

Best explanation of bioengineering I see across the internet and 7 seas

[@alonzo9772]

Why doesn't my college offer bioengineering?! It looks the coolest to me.

[@heberpatino2902]

tescher looks like an older Steve Jobs

[@kurbonmirzoaliev9600]

Steve Jobs from a parallel universe😳

[@dishaa8691]

hahaha, that was indeed my first thought

[@MrBadr91]

+Shivani Sivashankar From what I searched before, you can think of biomedical as an oriented part from biological towards healthcare technology while biological is talking about life science generally like drugs and includes healthcare of course.

“Biomedical engineering is not really a discipline you will major in” - 2006
Me in 2022 watching this video as a biomedical engineer. 😖😞

[@Percypilli]

now you are in which year of biomedical engineering

[@Percypilli]

Now i am a bme student of 1st year

[@OD_MAN99]

I am A bioengineering student at McGill University. This is a very good lecture.

[@zeybo777]

what are you doing right now

[@shivuhp]

hello learned people.
i have a serious question and would like some light upon it.
what exactly is the difference between bioengineering and biomedical engineering?
please clarify...

Any where to get the slides?

I Really Like The Video Bioengineering Prof. Douglas Lauffenburger From Your

[@6Air5Guitarist0]

He also does it in 4:43 , I think it maybe his "thinking tick".

[@mattheweleazar8025]

If Steve Jobs became a bioengineering professor.

[@MattBurton1987]

@yahmana go to ocw.mit.edu for course materials

[@wakawaka2358]

Is bioengineering a subject you should go into if you’d like to be a genetic engineer and work with gene therapy, or is there a different subject to go into?

[@giacomoaltieri7881]

I am wondering the same... What I'd like to do is DNA editing and genetic engineering and I don't really what faculty would fits my interests. Did you find out at the end?

[@wakawaka2358]

Giacomo Altieri no, but I’d guess that bioengineering is probably where you start.

[@giacomoaltieri7881]

@@wakawaka2358 from what I understood in these days, you need to start from basic molecular biology and then do a master in bioengineering (at least in the European Union).

[@wakawaka2358]

Giacomo Altieri thanks, that’s a good place to start. The US should probably be similar.

[@Shinkajo]

are you there yet?

[@BornFreeSailor]

Where are the slides he is showing?

[@anasibrahin729]

In master program how many are there

[@kSavvy]

So many of the professors weren't exactly open to the idea of open course ware? (pun intended)

[@Chowderous]

and the application here ... ?!?!

[@lifefan1]

I am so curious what he wanted to say 😩

[@larryloo8403]

he looks like steve job with white hair

[@lucyoriginales]

Hmmm... This professor reminds me of Boris Berezovsky or whatever and professor Paul Bloom. 🤔 Are they triplets? 🤔

[@dishaa8691]

from where can i access the class slides..anyone pls help out?

@@mitocw the class slides aren't available

[@mitocw]

Sorry about that, you are correct! For many of our courses, lecture notes are usually the slides from the lecturer. Sorry we didn't look further before sending a reply. What we have posted is all we were given to publish.

all the time focus is on teacher and slides invisible. disgusting

[@mitocw]

+Muhammad Ali The main reason the slides were avoided were due to copyright restrictions. Only after 2009 did MIT OpenCourseWare allow publishing materials not covered in our Creative Commons license under Fair Use.
