<p>What does each major imply? Which major is more versatile when it comes to finding a job after graduation? Thanks.</p>
<p>Bioengineering and biomedical engineering majors are basically the same and entail either working with medical devices or developing biotechnology. To land a good job, unlike other fields of engineering, I hear that a graduate degree is highly recommended.</p>
<p>biomedical engineering and bioengineering are basically the same. BME may include instrumentation as well as biomolecular engineering topics. While, bioengineering has more of an emphasis on biomolecular engineering topics (i think this is correct). When i was looking into BME and BioE programs, those were the characteristics i noticed. Both are the same in terms of versatility after graduation.</p>
<p>In general, bioengineering focuses more on tissue engineering, cell physiology, neuroengineering, genetic engineering etc. (depending on the individual schools). Biomedical engineering does cover a wide range, typically including several topics among: tissue engineering, prosthetics, biomechanics, medical imaging, bioelectricity, and others. Some schools allow more specialization than others (of the colleges I looked at, several didn't have any specializations, and Case, where I now attend, has 7 specializations), and some programs (such as bioelectricity) can be harder to find. </p>
<p>If you love biology, bioengineering is probably the way to go. If you lean more towards math and problem solving, BME is probably better for you. (BMEs typically don't take much straight biology). If you're not interested in grad school at all, bioengineering may be best. BMEs with only a BS typically have jobs repairing medical equipment, but a bioE would probably be able to have a position in a lab working on research.</p>
