Yes Ms.Goren it is truth
And as a matter of fact you already got good explainations and links over here :
http://www.tapuz.co.il/Forums2008/ViewMsg.aspx?ForumId=834&MessageId=124985282 In this case I can give you a very straightforward, clear and non-controversial answer: electrical engineering is a very good first degree and if after 5 semesters or so you still want to specialize in biomedical engineering or study biological systems, then I swear to you that it wouldn't be difficult to do so. Actually if you are interested in medical devices, medical programing, medical imaging, medical modeling or MRI (as opposed to biomaterials or tissue engineering) then electrical engineering is the best path I can think of (which also open doors to communication and netword engineering, job at "Hevrat Hahashmal", microelectronics, robotics and hi-tech). s Keep that in mind
